Line 201:
** Mercury-(II) Fulminate is normally a powder. Mind you, Walt is meant to be a badass crystallographer, but even assuming he could make it into crystals and somehow not accidentally cause a reaction ''and'' somehow make it potent enough to wreak that much havoc, he'd still be dealing with lungfuls of poisonous gas.
** Walt suggesting he's gonna make phenylacetone in a tube furnace like it's the most natural thing in the world. It isn't. However, this is in reference to Uncle Festers' Guide to Making Amphetamine, which advocates the use of this process as it evades several legal restrictions on ingredients and even has instructions to building your own furnace. Of course, Walt is enough of a badass chemist to know how to do this without reference material.
** Some of this is probably deliberate, as they likely [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing|didn't want to give real life criminals ''too'' much help]]. Though that didn't stop a handful of [[Moral Guardians]] and [[Hate Dumb|complete idiot celebrities]] from claiming the show actually teaches people to make meth. The rest is likely [[Rule of Cool]] and [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]].
* [[Hollywood Silencer]]: Averted in Episode 313, "Full Measure."
* [[Hope Spot]]: Inverted with {{spoiler|Gus Fring's death. After Tio detonates himself, Gus Fring walks out of the gutted room, seemingly fine...and the viewer's stomachs drop as they think the plan failed. Then the camera pans to show half of Gus's face gone.}}
