    You know what’s funny is the story happened that way not because it was the only way it could happen. They originally had Jesse pinkman’s death planned for the end of season 1 he was supposed to be killed by Walt. But he ended up being a fan favorite character and they kept him on.

      Of course the story didn’t have to happen in any specific way. It’s a fictional story. It can be written in anyway. Doesn’t even have to be realistic

      Walt could have had to make a rocket so he could transport meth to the moon because Tuco is on a moon base and really wants some.

      From my 2.5ish season watching experience, Pinkmen was the only character I enjoyed from the show. I’m not saying that I hated his character or acting. But the premise that Walt was with Pinkman to begin with. The whole show hinges on that idea and Pinkman becomes more and more important to the show.

      Breaking Bad doesn’t have many “likable” characters but it is a basic story about the characters.

      A story with an amazing plot would still be good with subpar actors. Breaking Bad with worse actors would be totally insufferable.
