Those 167 deaths are, by far, the most the show has ever and probably will ever carry out at once.
Throughout the five seasons of Breaking Bad, Walter White caused the death of almost 300 people, directly or indirectly. As the character descended into wickedness, Walt didn't necessarily seem to fall under the label of a psychotic murderer.
A show about the drug trade is guaranteed to have plenty of character deaths and Breaking Bad was no different. There were a total of 274 deaths, which is staggering for a show that only had five seasons.
Simple, complicated, it doesn't matter. Steps never change, and I know every step.
Skyler is 12 years younger than Walt, whom she met when she was a hostess at a diner near Walt's former place of work, near the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
As it would seem, the existence of real-life meth dealers named Walter White is purely coincidental. So far, none have gotten into the business over a diagnosis of terminal illness, though others (not named Walter White) were chemists and/or teachers.
His symptoms got increasingly worse as the series progressed showing that now, he would need treatment for this clinical diagnosis if he hopes to return to any form of a normal life. It is no coincidence that Walt encompasses all nine characteristics of having a narcissistic personality disorder, as outlined in DSM-5.
Walt, the trained scientist, calls himself “Heisenberg” after the Heisenberg Uncertainly Principle by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg, who posited that the location and momentum of a nuclear particle cannot be known at the same time.
Gus gloats to Hector about the death of his nephews and associate, mentioning the cryptic phone call that Hank received before the Cousins attacked him that lead to their demise. He leaves Hector to seethe impotently with a few parting words: "Sangre por sangre", blood for blood.
Walter White may be fictional. But the $80 million profit he turned by selling meth in less than a year is a very realistic sum for a true-life drug kingpin. It's not until the last season of Breaking Bad that viewers learn just how much cash their favorite meth-making anti-hero has accumulated by cooking crank.
Gus Fring's Death Is Possible (But Not Realistic)
The blast wave severely injured his right side - but it didn't hit his vital organs, which could explain why Gustavo Fring's death in Breaking Bad wasn't immediate. Much of Gus' head and face was injured, but his skull was still intact.
At heart, Breaking Bad is a tragedy in the most classical sense, and "Live Free or Die" sees Walter White in the throes of his fatal flaw: hubris.
For the airline company, see Wayfarer. For the minisode, see Wayfarer 515 (minisode). Walter White, who was partially responsible for setting forth the chain of events leading to the crash, witnessed the collision while sitting in his backyard.
Tuco realizes Walt and Jesse are plotting something and takes them outside, forcing Walt to confess to the poisoning. With Tuco distracted, Jesse wounds him and escapes with Walt. Hank arrives at the hideout and gets into a shootout with the wounded Tuco, whom he kills in self-defense.
Lydia Rodarte-Quayle (Laura Fraser) is a significant enemy of Walter White in the fifth season of Breaking Bad.
A Pathological Liar
Walt constantly lies to Skyler about his whereabouts and his possession of two phones. This is what causes the biggest dent in their marriage. He also lies to Jesse and manipulates him into killing Gale as well as cutting ties with Gus. Soon, all his lies come back to haunt him.
Breaking Bad is about how power can corrupt anyone, even a bumbling small-town chemistry teacher with terminal cancer. That is why Walter White is the ultimate antihero: unlike Tony Soprano (who is in therapy), White is past the point of redemption.
145 is a good estimate of Walter White's IQ. That's just above genius level, which is 140. Somebody with an IQ of 145 is very capable of being a college professor or a chemist.
That realization hit home during the phone call at the end of the previous episode, "Granite State." Walter Jr. will not try to understand his father; Walter Jr. will not knowingly accept his money; Walter Jr. will never forgive him. His father was his greatest hero, but became his ultimate villain.
Aside from seeing death around every corner, we have to remember that Jesse was abjured by his parents, and he still has PTSD from shooting Gale.
After insisting for five full seasons that everything he did, he did for his family, Walt finally confesses that all of his actions were entirely self-motivated.
BILLINGS, Mt. — A real-life meth dealer called Walter White - the name of the protagonist in Breaking Bad - has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for selling the drug in Montana.
