Line 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]]: Not Tuco himself, but his cousins most definitely. Also Jack Welker, leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. And Walt himself may have crossed the line into becoming one bytowards the end of the show, committing illegal atrocities purely because it makes him feel alive. If not for his concern for his family and [[Villainous BSOD]]-inspired atonement in the finale, he'd have been 100% far gone. But as it stands, he only made it 99% of the way.
* [[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.
Line 38:
** Hank, whose private pain is concealed by a willfully ignorant and obnoxious public personality.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: ''Gus.'' The owner of Los Pollos Hermanos chain of chicken restaurants, and now the biggest Meth dealer of them all. Uses his chain as a cover, never been caught, and organizes anti-drug fun runs that means he associates with DEA agents that tell him all about their work. The Cartels respect him enough that he's able to call off a hit with but a single text message to two killers seeking personal vengeance. The only reason Walt is still alive is Gus can use him.
** Walt even figures out Gus is using Walt to break free of the Cartels to the point he's planning everything for his own advantages including Hank and the Cousins.
** Walt himself has his moments of this, namely in the latter two seasons. He fully becomes one in the series finale.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** Several conversations between Walt and Jesse indicate that they felt completely justified in their actions right up until {{spoiler|Jane's death}}, which they consider (for different reasons) to be the worst thing they've ever done.
