    Why Todd?

    In the the drug world Walter White goes by the name Heisenberg, and it fits, but "Dr. Meth" also has a nice ring to it, no? via [The Movie Watcher Tumblr](the-movie-watcher.tumblr.com)

    End of Series

    It would've made for a much shorter and less interesting series, but at this point even Walt probably wonders what would've happened if he had taken that money from his old business partner way back in Season 1. via [Stephen Mann](https://twitter.com/sdmann00)

    Normal Turtles

    Seriously, [that turtle scene](http://www.amctv.com/breaking-bad/videos/inside-breaking-bad-the-tortoise-scene) was one of craziest things that ever happened on *Breaking Bad*. via [Reaves McElveen](https://twitter.com/nrm262)

    Really Vince?

    Jesse's go-to expletive kind of loses it's flare after the third or fourth time, doesn't it? via [Patrick Cotnoir](https://twitter.com/patrickcotnoir)

    Saul Ghostbusters

    Come to think of it, it would be pretty cool if the Ghostbusters were in that r[umored Saul Goodman spin-off show](http://www.thewrap.com/tv/article/breaking-bad-creator-vince-gilligan-saul-goodman-spinoff-moving-full-speed-ahead-101091). via [Patrick Cotnoir](https://twitter.com/patrickcotnoir)

    Knock-Knock Joke

    As hardcore as that scene was, it really could have used a "J/K!" at the end to break the tension. Ok, maybe not. via [Patrick Cotnoir](https://twitter.com/patrickcotnoir)

    Uno

    Walt and Skyler have been keeping up the ruse that the White family's excess funds come from Walt's gambling for a couple seasons now. It would've been the worst lie ever if they'd said those fat stacks came from Uno. via [Dillon Diatlo](https://twitter.com/ OneInADillion)

    Math?

    Las Drogas Hermanos

    Los Pollos Hermanos is a pretty good name for a fried chicken joint. Las Drogas Hermanos (The Drug Brothers) would've been better, but probably a little too on-the-nose. via [Cody Clarke](http://you-got-it-1.tumblr.com)

    Shut Up

    Yeah, this draft took [Skyler's breakdown scene](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UosZ4mXL8EI) a little too far. via [Cody Clarke](http://you-got-it-1.tumblr.com)

    More Drama

    And this is how *Breaking Bad* almost became *In Treatment*. via [Ariel Gitlin](https://twitter.com/arielgitlin)
