Breaking Bad (2008–2013)

The Show is not about drug. It's about YOU!

You will see yourself or part of yourself in one or more of the characters. Or a combination of characters. My dad, born 1937 is basically Mike Ehrmantraut. I'm a combination of Walt and Badger (let that sink in).

You really have to pay attention. Colors, clothes, colors of clothes, backgrounds, noises, traffic, non-manicured finger nails etc., they all have meaning.

Breaking Bad is about tenacity.

We all had a teacher like this

As an educator now, I understand the main character's concern and the route he was about to take. But no matter who you are, you have had an impact on someone's life. Hopefully, positive.

The episode is actually a teaching lesson in itself. You have to get inside the characters or be an educator to really appreciate this episode. If it brings you to tears... you got it.

Ms. Wilson of McCormick Elementary School Chicago IL (school year1963-1964) who taught1st grade. I want to thank you. Even as a 6 year old, you made me feel important. You made me feel that I mattered.
