Darkness Was Important<\/strong><br \/>\nBreaking Bad was an extremely dark show, and the darkness was essential, as far as Vince Gilligan is concerned. \u201cIf the show is going to be about producing and selling meth, you want to take it seriously,\u201d the creator said. \u201cBut you don\u2019t have to make it some after school special \u2013 you just have to show the reality of why that\u2019s a bad decision.\u201d Gilligan also added that any time they needed to show a violent moment on Breaking Bad \u2013 like the episode \u201cKrazy-8\u201d, where Cranston\u2019s Walter White has to strangle a man to death with a bike lock \u2013 it was important to never treat the violence as \u201centertainment\u201d, but to rather highlight how unpleasant it was. \u201cThere has to be consequences,\u201d Gilligan said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t do that, you\u2019re not doing the show justice.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Craig&#8217;s thoughts<\/strong>:&nbsp; Gilligan is so right.&nbsp; Actions have consequences and bad actions can, or at least should weigh heavily on a character unless he\/she is a sociopath.&nbsp; The added layer brought realism and importance to those &#8220;dark&#8221; decisions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Aaron Paul Misses Jesse<\/strong><br \/>\nThis may not seem like a huge revelation. But during the Hall H panel, actor Aaron Paul commented that he really \u201cmissed\u201d playing tragic drug dealer Jesse Pinkman. What made this moment so memorable was the wealth of emotion in Paul\u2019s voice \u2013 he sounded as if he was on the verge of tears as he uttered these words. It got to me.<br \/>\n<strong>Craig&#8217;s thoughts:<\/strong>&nbsp; How can you not love how attached and appreciative some actors get to the characters that made them?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>7. Bryan Cranston Would Frequently Trick Aaron Paul Into Thinking Jesse Was Going To Die<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile Jesse Pinkman lived beyond the first season, and ended up surviving the series as a whole, Bryan Cranston would constantly prank Aaron Paul into thinking his character was going to die. As Paul and Cranston tell it, Cranston would come up to Paul and ask: \u201cHave you read the latest script?\u201d When Paul would say no, Cranston would give Paul a big hug and say, \u201cI\u2019m so sorry,\u201d thus making Paul think his character was about to get bumped off. This apparently happened several times, and Paul apparently fell for it almost every time.<br \/>\n<strong>Craig&#8217;s thoughts:&nbsp;<\/strong>This is probably not a new story for most fans of <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>, but I think it is so funny that Cranston would mess with Paul like that&#8230; and of course Paul would fall for it!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Evangelista and \/Film present 10 Things We Learned from the \u2018Breaking Bad\u2019 10 Year Reunion [Comic-Con 2018].&nbsp; Be advised<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,51,65,50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-crime","category-trivia","category-tv"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20702"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20703,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20702\/revisions\/20703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
