Breaking Bad

Nalan and I have finally finished our Breaking Bad marathon, which took in all five seasons in around a month. Life basically stopped for Breaking Bad, a series I never managed to arouse interest in while it was still airing, but thought might be worth watching after all those Emmy nominations. These are some random thoughts it has left me with.

• Chemistry is really interesting. The real tragedy of Breaking Bad is that Walter swaps a genuine passion of the magic of chemistry for a lust for power. Well, that and all the dead people.
• It's never too late for a career change.
• Hooking up with former students maybe isn't such a good idea.
• I feel squeamish about using Stevia now.
• It is becoming difficult to resist the temptation to end sentences with “yo.”
• Likewise, I really want an opportunity to say “I am not in danger. I am the danger.”
• Actually, not really. After almost every BB session, I thanked my lucky stars I am an ordinary person with good health and no criminal activities.
• When it comes to health provision, Turkey beats America hands down.
• Having seen a record number of underwear shots, I can conclude that the real reason Walter White wants to start a meth empire is penile diminitude.
• It's time to break out the hat.
