Breaking Bad may not be unbelievable compared to say True Blood. But it's plenty unbelievable in its own regard.

Regardless, your point is valid, the creators or whoever do a pretty good job keeping it real, and that's why, imo, you just have to assume that Hank doesn't have 50 people running around that can I.D. Walt. If he did, he'd have leaned on them and made a solid case.

Thus, and back to the original point, Hank doesn't have the upper hand/leverage, Walt does. And, if Hank does just have an army of guys that can identify Walt, the show is really beyond stupid at this point....Jesse is irrelevant, Skyler is irrelevant, Walt himself is irrelevant unless he decided to off Hank... All Hank has to do is run down to chicken express (whatever), the nursing home, etc and grab some peeps. All signs point to Hank being on the defensive and Walt being in control which pretty much means Hank can't do that.

Though, in real life, I agree it sure seems people would be able to identify Walt. But, that's irrelevant. Because, honestly, what are the odds that some nobody from nowhere shows up, tells Hank Walt did done it, and Walt gets arrested based on that? That's like a zero percent chance of being the ending. And, if it is, that's stupid.

I watched The Long Way Round on Netflix this weekend. Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman ride motorcycles East from London to New York City.

Now I want a motorcycle and hundreds of thousands of dollars to support a circumnavigation via motorcycle. I really don't think that's too much to ask for, god.

How do they get across the oceans? Container ships and rent a room for cheap on them or do they ship them and fly?

They flew from Russia's east coast to Anchorage, so just a quick flight for their only ocean crossing.

The most unbelieveable thing about Breaking Bad is that anyone would give a rat's ass about getting meth that pure. In the first season Jesse goes back to Walt because all of a sudden Jesse becomes some meth connoisseur and can't bear to make any that doesn't measure up to Walt's product. Then later Gus takes all kinds of risks with Walt because Gale can only get to 96% or some nonsense.

i suppose the desire to the highest concentration would indicate you have the best formula, thus the best product, thus eliminating sub-standard meth producing from the market and only having 1 person to go to, i.e. monopoly. seems legit.

So has this effectively turned into a Breaking Bad bashing thread?
