Breaking Bad- Brief Overview

I have just finished watching the first two episodes of Breaking Bad, good for me right? This show gave me a lot of trouble during the first couple of years of high school because people were blurting out spoilers as if it was there job. Now I believe I have forgotten all of them except Walter White dying in the last episode, which is a pretty big one. But, its not like can complain, of course he dies, he has cancer and it serves as a powerful/compelling conclusion. I still would have enjoyed the mystery. At least that spoiler isn't as bad as being told the twist in The Sixth Sense, and Fight Club, oh well. 

At first Mr. White appears to be a stuck up boring character who is frustrated with life. I imagine that he will eventually become more laid back like Jessie, and that will serve as a turning point in his character. That thought was instantly reinforced by the men at his 50th birthday party making fun of him, by calling him wimpy and boring. I also believe that he will be comfortable with guns to serve as a contrast to the fear he showed of his brother in laws firearm.  

Mr. White has to deal with the crushing news of him getting cancer, and decides to go make meth because he learns of the money that can be made, which he sees as his way of getting rid of the stress in his life. Since he is a master chemist he believes that this will be a relatively easy process, he just needs knowledge of the business. This problem is solved during the ride along to the meth lab bust where he sees an ex student of his, which he correctly believes to be a meth cooker. As soon as Mr. Pinkman fell out of that window I thought "Oh, its the guy who says Science Bitch, well he showed up fast", because this show gets off the ground much faster than I anticipated. I also know that he makes his meth blue in order to distinguish himself from the rest, oh yes product differentiation my fellow AP Econ friends. I'm guessing that will come around soon, and a red meth producer will be his competitor? Maybe? I guess not.
