Line 5:
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Possibly the purpose of the show.
** It's hard to decide if Walt's "cooking" is retaliation for a world that never cut him a break or a genuine desire to provide for his family. Not that they're necessarily mutually exclusive.
*** The series finale has Walt himself give the answer, and it's neither! He did it all because he enjoyed it, was good at it, and it made him feel truly alive.
** Skyler, good woman who's acting poorly due to her husband's action? Simple human frailty? Control freak who ran the family up until Walt's Break Bad and is now looking for any method to put him under her thumb in some form of twisted love?
** Jesse, [[Book Dumb]] [[Anti-Villain]] or [[Villain Protagonist]] who's been using Walt?
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
** Over [[Bottle Episode|"Fly"]]. Much of the fandom seems to think that it's either the best or the worst episode of the show. It's either a brilliant character study, or a pointless [[Filler]] episode.
** The {{spoiler|plane crash}} at the end of season 2 is either a [[Contrived Coincidence]] that's a [[Cliffhanger Copout]] after all the vague flashforwards and build up or its a great metaphor for how Walt's actions have consequences he can't imagine.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Tuco and his cousins. Also Jack Welker, leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. And Walt himself may have crossed the line into becoming one by the end of the show, committing illegal atrocities purely because it makes him feel alive.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The music that plays when {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b6sDY7hiB4 Gus walks into the nursing home in ''Face Off''] }}. It manages to convey the emotion of that scene perfectly.
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: It was really only the 50th worst crash in aviation history.
