scenes in Breaking Bad featuring Walt
that made us shake our heads in
number 10
blowing Gus’s face off in a nursing home
after deciding that Gus needs to go Walt
allies himself with Hector Salamanca who
Gus often visits to torment I know you
despise me I know how badly you want to
see me dead but I’m willing to bet that
I know a man whom you hate even more and
the to come up with a rather explosive
plan Walt will plant a bomb in Hector’s
wheelchair which will blow both Hector
and Gus to kingdom come and you know
maybe some innocent bystanders who get
caught in the blast luckily no one was
harmed but can you imagine if some poor
old lady was standing directly in front
of the door that shoots off like a
rocket it just goes to show the links
that Walt will go to look out for number
number nine kidnapping his own daughter
things got a little wild for Walt near
the end there and in the heat of the
moment he just up and kidnapped his own
daughter much to the horror of Skyler
and Walter jr. the great thing about
this moment is that it not only paints
Walt as a selfish a-hole but it somehow
manages to make us feel sympathetic at
the same time Walt just wants to be with
the one person in his family who doesn’t
hate him or want him dead and when Holly
asks for her mama he is utterly
devastated with that one word Walt
finally realizes that it’s all over

number eight forcing Jesse to kill Gail
at the end of season three Walt’s future
with Gus looks grim he had betrayed Gus
by murdering his drug dealers and soon
finds himself training Gail who Gus
rather than going to the DEA as Jesse
suggests Walt decides to murder Gail
only Walt is taken by Mike before he can
forcing him to utilize Jesse throughout
much of the first three seasons jesse is
a deadbeat but he’s certainly not a
killer and the despondent look on his
face says it all this moment is the
catalyst for Jesse’s eventual downfall
and it’s harrowing to witness you don’t
number seven handing Jesse over to Jack
in the episode to wash Olay Walt puts
out a hit on Jesse and requests that his
death be quick and painless that all
changes when Todd realizes that Jesse
was working with the DEA rather than
killing Jesse Jack’s gang kidnaps him
and forces him into meth making slavery
and just when you thought Jesse couldn’t
sink any lower – this is arguably Walt
at his most petty and despicable not
only does he betray Jesse’s hiding
location to Jack but he spitefully
reveals to the already frightened Jesse
that he was responsible for Jin’s death
I watched Jane die it’s a low blow and
it proves just what a conceited ass Walt
has become I watched her overdose and
number six strangling crazy eight it
didn’t take long for Walt to murder
someone did it in the show’s very first
episode Walt concocts a chemical
reaction that kills Emilio and
incapacitates Crazy eight unfortunately
for Walt crazy eight survives the
poisoning forcing Walt to murder him in
you can call it self-defense seeing us
how crazy eight would have killed him
but Walt still poisoned him kidnapped
him and chained him up in Jesse’s
basement so it’s not as if his hands are
clean here it’s not quite Breaking Bad
material seeing how it’s only the third
episode but it’s still a major
transformative moment in Walt’s
character and it helps inaugurate him
into the dangerous world of drug dealing
when I do are you gonna stick me with
that broken piece of plate number five
murdering Gus’s dealers fans have
different opinions about when Walt
embraced his aggressive and
authoritarian alter ego but many point
to the brilliant ending of half-measures
in which Walt murdered two of Gus’s
the collision itself is graphically
depicted leaving viewers to gawk in
equal parts disgust and amazement and
then walk gets out of the car
grabs a gun and shoots the survivors
square in the face run with this moment
Walt
truly becomes Heisenberg before this
he’d always shown remorse towards murder
now he’s completely in command confident
and determined even in violence with
this act Walt has accepted his destiny
and his true character I’m sorry I have
to go number four blowing up to ghost
headquarters of course you could also
argue that Heisenberg was born when Walt
blew up Tuco’s headquarters in season
one after all it’s when he officially
adopts the name and it changes his
appearance after Tuco puts Jesse in the
hospital Walt goes to Tuco’s and shows
him what for by blowing up his office
it’s certainly badass and it’s made even
better by that tantalizing opening scene
which shows a freshly shaved Walt
walking away from the explosion with a
bloody nose as badass as Heisenberg is
there’s still some Walter White in there
but it’s definitely a major step towards
his full transformation no matter what
happens no more bloodshed no violence
number three letting Jane die despite it
being a season later yet more fans claim
that Heisenberg’s true birth was the
moment Walt watched Jane choked to death
on her own vomit well it wasn’t a fan of
genes influence on his partner and when
opportunity struck he just couldn’t pass
it up
it’s not a great scene because a major
character died it’s a great scene
because we physically witnessed Walt’s
transformation from caring father figure
to calculating drug dealer he initially
rushes to help and shows remorse and
disgust for his actions but quickly
composes himself now confident in his
decision it’s at this point that Walt’s
money and Empire became more important
than human life number two going full
Godfather
it’s amazing how fluid and natural this
show presented Walt’s character
development in the series premiere we
would never imagine Walt owning his own
drug empire and having his enemies
simultaneously assassinated Michael
Corleone style but when this scene
played in the season 5 episode gliding
overall it seemed like just another day
in the life and it’s both an
extraordinary and horrifying sequence
the heinous and graphic violence is
brilliantly juxtaposed with Nat King
Cole’s soothing pick yourself up and
it’s an idiosyncratic blend that only
with you while Breaking Bad is full of
depravity this scene is especially
before we unveil our top pick here are a
this was my idea don’t punish them you
tell Gus to blame me not them he does
number one intentionally poisoning a
child you stole mr. White’s the boys
abroad yes we know he calculated the
precise dosage to ensure brach survival
but he still poisoned a kid damn it in
order to take out Gus Walt concoct an
elaborate scheme which involves
poisoning brach with his lily of the
valley berries and tricking Jessie into
believing that Gus poisoned Brock with
ricin who do you know whose children to
be murdered Gus it can’t be denied that
Walt is an extremely intelligent and
conniving bastard but intentionally
poisoning a child is truly an
irredeemable Act there’s a reason the
season ended on the image of Walt’s
plant is most likely a flower called
lily of the valley Walt’s moral compass
has been irrevocably shattered and
that’s more shocking and emotional than
any death or touching goodbye could have
been
