The way Walt keeps pausing, waiting for a student to complete his sentence, and having to do so himself, is like watching a puppy wait for a ball that never gets thrown.
Should have kept the clips where Walt teaches chemistry to Jesse, who is lowkey enjoying himself and is always amazed by the results of science. Even if it is about meth, Walt still manages to always turn it back to his passion in chemistry.
True but I think he paused at 2:18 specifically because he was going to name off an example from the top of his head but then remembered methamphetamine is a chiral molecule so he staggered.
It's strange that class is so homogeneous in its reaction. It's usually a handful who are interested for real, a half that pretends and the rest doesn't care.
Walt loved teaching Science, he cherished any chance he got to explain chemical reactions to Jesse and ultimately dies happy seeing Jesse’s lab ran perfectly from everything he taught him.
He was happy, but also due to the fact that Jesse's meth still wasn't better than his because Jesse set the pressure a bit higher than the right amount.
Ironically Jesse failed his chemistry class. But was the only person who could cook meth on par with him, even the PHD master, the Don elaido couldn't replicate what he did.
As a chemistry teacher, I would like to thank Walter for his contribution to my work. Because of him, I'm able to manufacture meth crystal of unmatched purity.
Watching Walt starting off as a quirky, enthusiastic chemistry teacher who cares about education, and then transforming into a heartless, cold drug kingpin, is so heartbreaking
@hotelmario510 being troubled and bitter doesn't make him not a nice man. You can tell by the first season that he meant well, loved his family, and wanted his chemistry students to succeed. And he definitely wouldn't be comfortable with the idea of doing bad things. This whole show was about him transforming and becoming desensitized to evil things around him, hence that's how he "breaks bad."
@hotelmario510 so how can we even guarantee that we are "good normal people" ? by this hypotesis maybe we are all evil and just waiting for the "very bad day" as the Joker says ?
This is a misinterpretation of Walt's character, I feel. We later find out in the show that Walt was never really a nice man. He's a deeply troubled and bitter man who is upset that he missed out on the wealth and power his colleagues at the chemical company ended up achieving. Becoming a drug lord was his way of getting that power he desperately craved. Walt didn't become Heisenberg, he always was Heisenberg. Entering the drug trade just gave him the balls to be as ruthless as he always wanted to be.
Walter White is the reason why Chemistry teachers all over the world have to verify to students that they won't be cooking meth on their 1st day of Chemistry Class.
But also the formula is pretty straightforward but doing it is a little trickier as obviously it could explode because methamphetamine is actually an explosive substance with literal mustard gas as a byproduct if you get the red phosphorus wet
I think the even better parallel is when he talks about how explosions form. The faster something changes, the more violent and destructive the change is.
Lesson 1: “the study of change”-growth, decay, transformation. The story of Walter White, summarized and prefaced in its first episode. Lesson 2: “chirality”-how two things that look the same do not always behave the same. Walter White and Heisenberg: reflections of each other, but very different. One is a mild mannered school teacher and the other is a ruthless drug lord. Lesson 3: “rapid chemical reactions”-how even the most unassuming of elements (like a 50-year old school teacher), when under the right conditions (like a terminal cancer diagnosis), can trigger an explosion of energy (Heisenberg’s two-year reign of terror). Lesson 4: “carbon”-how a scientific genius was shunned and left penniless by his employers: exactly how Walt perceives his relationship with Elliot and Gretchen, and the root of all his simmering bitterness and pride. It’s…fascinating, really.
It gets even more insane when you extrapolate the lessons to the show's 5 seasons. Lesson 1: 'Chemistry: the study of change.' Season 1: From the first few minutes of the first episode, Walt's life changes when he gets his cancer diagnosis. Then Hank shows him a meth lab. Then he has to kill 2 guys in self-defense. The first season is a documentation process of the start of his life drastically changing. In chemistry, a lot of changes are gradual, but once triggered it's very hard to stop them. Lesson 2: 'Chirality.' Season 2: In a lot of ways, the second season mirrors the first season. Walter White's motivation hasn't changed, Jesse is still a dumbass junkie, Skyler is still pregnant, and nobody suspects anything yet. The big difference is that, by later on in the season, Walt's 'boss' has been replaced; Tuco is gone, and Gus is now selling Walt's meth. In many ways, Gus is a mirror of Walt: a seemingly meek, bald old man with glasses that is always planning something and trying to stay a step ahead of everybody around him. The example Walt gave of chirality is thalidomide; like the thalidomide in his example, the differences between Walt and Gus haven't really manifested... yet. Lesson 3: 'Rapid chemical reactions.' Season 3: This is when the whole train starts to really go off the rails. Skyler learns about Walt's meth cooking and it fractures their relationship, which never recovers. Walt makes a few half-hearted attempts to quit cooking, but he ultimately just bumbles around and makes everything worse in his paranoia and insecurity, ultimately leading to Hank getting shot nearly to death, a civil war erupting between Fring's and Eladio's sides of the cartel, and Walt running over Gus's 2 dealers and then having his other chemist (and friend) Gale shot, which lands him firmly and irrevocably in shit creek. Lesson 4: 'Carbon.' Season 4: Walt wasn't teaching anymore by Season 4; that could be argued for the 4th lesson as well. He spent a significant portion of it discreetly bitching about his failings in life and pining for what could have been, which is exactly how Season 4 plays out: the slipping mask falls off, and we see start to see Walt for who he truly is: a petty little man, desperately trying to take control of his life by destroying everything around him. He bitches at Gus when the latter comes to see him about Gale, he buys a gun, he gets his shit kicked in by Mike for trying to get him to betray Gus, he takes Bogdan's framed first dollar bill and buys a soda with it, he contemplates having Jesse killed at least once, he memes at his wife so hard that she flees the state, he poisons a little kid, he has a screaming temper tantrum when he finds Skyler gave away his money, and he sets off a bomb in an old folks' home. Lesson 5: Silence. Season 5: In the last lesson, Walt has stopped caring about anything but himself. He doesn't do anything he's supposed to, and shortly after he gets fired, then burns the last bridge he has by trying to seduce the principal like an idiot. In Season 5, Walt feels like he can do whatever he wants now that Gus is dead. He could quit here and now; instead he proceeds to rob a train, have a gang of skinheads kill every remaining witness to his crimes, shoot Mike for insulting him, and proudly embrace his 'Heisenberg' persona... right up until it gets him robbed of $70 million and his brother-in-law's brains blown out. Then he has another temper tantrum, sells Jesse into torture and slavery, nearly stabs his wife, and flees across the country to escape the cops. His last act of defiance gets him shot before he can be arrested, and he dies a penniless pariah that nobody - not even his wife and son - mourn over. Okay maybe a few of those are reaching but there's definitely parallels in at least the first and last lessons.
That intro clip when I saw his smile and excitement I knew then that Walter LOVED chemistry deeply, he could've used that passion to chase an amazing career but he chose the far more noble route of teaching it. Yeah not every kid will become a chemist but every heart he does touch can and will become someone great. I love the actor, he really captured that deep love of his topic his character would love too.
I think by the time he was teaching he already did chase an amazing career; Walt let go of Gray Matter, then life caught up. He could’ve started another company or pursued a college teaching gig, but as we learn in the pilot, the guy is working two jobs, with a baby on the way. So he got stuck somewhere down the line and teaching is just there to pay the bills. We can’t deny how passionate he is about chemistry, but I don’t think he chose this career and I don’t think he’d stick with it if it wasn’t a good cover for his drug dealing.
I like how they realistically portray the students being totally disinterested. As someone who’s in high school, totally accurate lol EDIT: oh my god guys. I say that it’s pretty realistic for kids be disinterested in a high school chemistry class and then it turned into people complaining about youth culture and the school system. Christ. Learn when to stop replying.
@GoodGuyCwyzz Lol please tell me you're joking.. How good you do in high school has nothing to do with what happens in adulthood. Like absolutely nothing at all. Even with a college degree you're still going to be working in retail for a while before anything legitimate comes around. You sound like those people who claim that homeless people are that way "because they didn't pay attention in school" or some nonsense. No one over the age of 19/20 even takes those talking points seriously.
@paulie153 I was in high school chemistry class exactly 10 years ago and although a fair number of adolescents show some interest in the topics that teachers are discussing, chemistry is not one of them. Some students being interested in Chemistry lectures? Sorry but I'm calling bull. Especially for public school.
@Juan Melo Everything that they teach in school can be profitable if you one know knows to apply them when opportunities come. They're not stuck in the "system", they just chose not to shut the door completely on opportunities and perks that comes along with having a degree or they're just simply passionate about what they were studying.
Some is useless... But think carefully. You have to be here. Why not get something out of it? At least if you can write a poem, you can get a girlfriend, if you can do basic economics you can have a house, if you can cook eggs, you can win over your parents with poached eggs. You are here. You don't have to learn it all. But you'd be surprised at how useful poems can be...
I love the way he's portrayed as a teacher. If you aren't interested in chemistry, Walt would probably bore you shitless. But if you're into it, it's probably extremely interesting the way he presents things
The Chirality scene was deep. My chemistry teacher simply wrote the term on the board, and told us to study it ourselves. Having a teacher who cared about actually teaching his audience, even a dead audience, makes me so happy
What a nice man in a noble profession, impacting the lives of so many students. He really has a bright future ahead of him-I hope he sticks with teaching.
What a heartwarming show of a struggling chemistry teacher coming to grips with the harsh reality of student life. Very dynamic and eye opening. Bravo Vince.
this feels like a really realistic high school classroom too, shows don’t get this right very often there’s always a weird checklist of cliches they go down when writing teenagers/high schools in shows but this is actually perfect
Its like everything Walt couldn't express for years but is always on his mind, he finds himself speaking in the medium of Chemistry. The resentment he suffers, the passion that never got recognised, its all there.
It's funny, I've never seen this show outside of clips but Walt just looks like a friendly chemistry teacher here, it's hard for me to imagine this guy having a double life as a stone-cold drug lord.
the clips are mostly before he became the stone cold drug lord, in most of them he was doing it for his family and was really desdperate, in the last one he was on the verdge of becoming that ruthless drug lord.
I had a chemistry teacher that legit told us how meth is made. He said it using all scientific terms that none of the students understood, but he still told us. That guy was hilarious lol
@ArcOsprey Hmm, not many forests in SD.. I mean I guess it has to be east county either way but ight. Maybe just east of El Cajon like Lakeside/Alpine.
This scene is great because it lays out what the show itself is about; a study in how Walter changes and how it affects everyone around him, just like a chemical reaction. It’s also a study of matter, or in society’s terms: morality. We tend to label people as wholly good or bad and those terms define what they are, just like chemical makeup defines matter. The show portrays everyone as having varying amounts of goodness and badness based on the various situations as they change. Very brilliantly done
It’s funny how I just realized most of his lessons he gave examples that completely relate to himself. Like “the faster the change the bigger the explosion” and “10 dollar bond for a multibillion dollar corporation”
if you major in chemistry.. you'll find yourself struggling in front of a bunch of chem surfix subject. such as... biochem, orgchem, inorgchem, physic chem etc.. moreover, funny thing is each of it very different concept. lol
@Aaron Nikels That would be an amazing idea, considering that we already have BCS and Vince Gilligan seems to capitalize on the devolution of the surrounding events. This would fit perfectly and from the perspective of people who have nothing to do with the game whatsoever. If I’m being honest here, this is how you know you got a good show on your hands. You start theorizing of every possible spin off and no matter how small, you just want *more*. Fascinating…
The opening scene is tragic for any number of reasons. Walter seems to be genuinely passionate about chemistry and his students ignore him completely. Then, later, we find out what a bitter and miserable man he is inside. One of the best television characters ever written.
Man as a near college grad boy do I miss the high school days where lectures were as fun and exciting as they were. There was always at least 50 fun facts you'd learn either related, partially related, or just totally unrelated to the subject at hand and unlike college professors who just use the same pre-made lessons and power-points it always felt like the best of high school teachers always went the extra mile to make meaningful connections between the class material and the students. Probably my best teacher was my honors Chemistry teacher, he taught the class at a similar level to an introductory college chemistry course, no reference tables, no formula sheets, labs that took days to finish. All I'm saying is if you're in high school still and have a good teacher appreciate all the lessons they give you like serious don't take it for granted a lot of what I learned back in those days helped me to become a much better student for my college years. You'll appreciate it when you get a crappy Ad-junct professor who can't teach and doesn't even make their own notes.
This is really what’s sad about teachers. They spend their lives pursuing their passions, make a whole career about showing others why it is fascinating, which they themselves believe, and most of the time nobody gives a shit. It is truly sad, teachers deserve more.
Now that I've seen this series a few times, I really love how all the class lectures Walt gives also serves as for-shadowing of what is to come in the show.
My high school chemistry teacher was a millionaire. He owns the patent on a special type of plastic used by nearly all corporations today. Drove a Ferrari and owned many more. Lake house. But his wife was extremely sick and he ended up getting bored staying indoors. So he started teaching. Some of the coolest lessons I’ve ever had.
@PEETAGREEFIN Definitely. I mean clearly the missing school lab equipment that would be specifically used to make meth around the time Walter the chemistry genius asked to go on a ride along to a meth lab was taken by Hugo, the math just adds up. Can't wait to see the rest of the show to see the conclusion of who is the Heisenberg!
I love this technique of showing the same scene at different stages of Walt's transformation, from Walt entering his house, to him cooking meth, to the family gatherings, etc.
The saddest part is that his classes are more engaging than the classes of most of the science teachers I've had. I can honestly imagine him giving lectures at a university where his students are actually interested in the subject, they love him and he's happy at his job.
Unfortunately, my chemistry teacher was a bit boring and not as engaging when it came to teaching like he was a bit bored of it himself, BUT when the paperwork was there and done, you could see that he was a bit like us, finally being allowed to actually see chemistry happen. As a last day of class gift for some of his students, he created some faux-gold plated pennies in class using the ventilation chamber in class. I got one, but I think I lost it somewhere.
I think this series was the one that pushed me to be a teacher, not about chemestry, but biology...idk why but i want people to understant how crazy a living being can be and all the other process that occur in nature, and i say this knowing very well that giving class to teens is as hard as trying to climb a mountain with a fork, even more when you have studends like the one that appeared in the first episodio of the series
I'd love a comprehensible series of chemistry videos with Cranston/White as the teacher. This was a brilliant show of why we need to appreciate our teachers.
I like that an inadvertent moral is “treat teachers well or one will break bad, become a messy meth kingpin, and ruin everyone who is involved with him to the point that all of Albuquerque’s criminal network is disappeared because that person is torn between ego and pride and protecting the very little that he cares for”.
If Walter White was real, I would have genuinely loved to have him as a chemistry teacher. He is so passionate and dynamic when he talks about the subject that I cannot help, but have my attention drawn. Plus, how could a middle/high schooler not get their mind blown when a man seamlessly changes the color of a flame right in front of them.
As someone who's never seen the show, it was interesting to watch his behavior during the classes change. They're great glimpses into his mental state.
I remember my first ochem lab, we were trying to find all the stuff Walt used to cook 😂, unfortunately our teacher saw right through us and be like, no we are not doing breaking bad here
Idk man, Walter sounds like a good teacher to me, explaining concepts in an understandable language, demonstrating stuff, I would be listening if I were in this class.
Honestly, if you showed these clips to someone who has never watched Breaking Bad, they'd have absolutely no idea that a chemistry teacher like this was a meth kingpin
I don't actually consider him a 'bad' teacher . . . His 'performance' may seem to be a little awkwardly timid or affected but he's still engaging enough for the kids who wanted to listen.
Walter White was a good teacher. But I think he would have been a better college professor. He explained things simple for a college student while making it sound interesting. Would have loved to take his basic Chem class.
@Luke Teaching absolutely needs real world examples, preferably interesting ones, not just basic theories. Even if only for the ever present "why so we even need to know this" question most students have. From my experience, students are usually more interested when you go on a tangent as well. Partly this might be because they don't feel like it's stuff they are forced to learn for tests, but I feel like it's mostly because it's just interesting to learn about real life examples and not just dry formulas and theory.
For the kids who aren’t that interested, he’d be a bad teacher who just goes off onto irrelevant and long winded tangents. Though I personally like tangents
I've experienced this in some sort, I once talked to a bunch of 17 yearolds about my career and instantly realized teaching wasn't for me. I still teach individuals that pay a lot of money and are mostly interested in passing a class so they show a little more interest but still, f teaching kids and mad respect for the people that dedicate their life to do so.
I'm currently studying chemistry but before i made the choice of studying that career i met a teacher just like Walter White, the same pasion for teaching and he inspired my love for science
It just occurred to me his lesson on chirality was a metaphor for his own double life. Even Walter struggles giving the lesson because he realizes it too.
He reminds me of my logistics teacher. He was a chill guy who ignored those who didn't want to learn and only wasted his time with the ones who actually wanted to learn.
Teachers this smart really do deserve respect and full attention. I always gave respect to my high school professors who were absolute geniuses and over qualified to teach. They could have totally been college professors
My last chemistry teacher had doctorates in Chemistry and Biochemistry and was teaching part time in school (14-18y olds) and college/high school (18+). To say she was over qualified is an understatement. She could at least be teaching at Uni. But choose to have more time for her family
college professors.... all the glory, none of the work. I am glad that some of you recognized your wonderful teachers. No such thing as overqualified to teach. Public schools deserve to have the best most knowledgeable teachers. It's a shame society thinks that "those that can't teach". If America actually valued/prioritized public education and it's number one enemy poverty....
Makes me wish I had a good science teachers I love the subject but my science teacher left on sickness leave and we had a series of useless substitute teachers who couldn't control the classroom
I had a physics teacher that reminds me a bit of Mr. White. He made physics so interesting that I had to take advanced physics in high school. He showed with a laser how distances are on a DVD disk. The reflections came on the table. In an advanced course he smoked a cigarette into a chamber and showed stuff with lasers as well. He was so good, without him I wouldn't have graduated from high school. Later on I heard he got elected to the best physics teacher in the country I live in. A true hero.
I am doing a master's in chemical engineering, and I thought the moment at 2:17 was brilliant. Here, Walt stumbled because he presumably thought of methamphetamine (given the show's context) as an example. Methamphetamine itself is an isomer! The S-methamphetamine isomer is significantly more potent than the R-methamphetamine isomer - an excellent piece of chemical trivia embedded in the show! Also, I believe that in a later episode, Walt says to Gus that his product is enantiomerically pure, and not racemic, hence another reason why his product was so sought after (as it contained only the more potent 'S' isomer). Bravo, Vince!
@John Smith You use the proper precursor. That's it. A pseudoephedrine-based cook would yield only the dextro isomer whereas a P2P cook would yield half and half so it would have to go through another chemical process if the P2P method was used.
@N. S. No way to cook stereospecific (enantiomerically pure) meth? A basic pseudoephedrine or normal ephedrine cook would do just that. Which is what they did for most of season 1.
@RAGE QU1T The rule of thumb whenever taking amphetamine or methamphetamine is to always do the dextrorotatory isomer (pure dextroamphetamine or pure dextro-methamphetamine) if you can. If that's what you mean by "trying something". I have a telehealth prescription for pure dextroamphetamine aka Dexedrine. Adderall is only 75% dextroamphetamine though and 25% levo.
@mechadoggy Nope. DRA probably meaning 'dopamine releasing agent' in this context because they're both 'releasing agents' and reuptake inhibitors at the same time. Amphetamines are certainly not "antagonists". That would be more so caffeine; which is an adenosine (receptor) antagonist. Most drugs are seemingly agonists though. And they agonize (or antagonize) certain *receptor* sites, not the neurotransmitters themselves, even though it's basically the same idea.
I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work. Such creative videos you’ve on this channel. Just subscribed! Officially the first viewer of any video on this channel. I’ve never witnessed such awesome editing as this one. Following your channel from the last two years, interesting content! You’re working so hard, may all your wishes come true.

Thanks for your video, it encourages me to take the first step toward my dreams. Everything about this video is simply perfect. Thank you.
I like to believe that he came to class and just did and said absolutely nothing for the entire period for several days, and nobody complained about it because the principal didn't notice until S3E4.
One of the greatest actors ever. The way he played 1st season Walt was amazing. I legit believed that he was an over qualified chemistry teacher with terminal lung cancer.
I have been so blessed to have an absolutely lovely and hard working chemistry teacher who had all my respect Loved chemistry theory to death, absolutely hated how much I sucked at writing down the several pages of information we had to establish every calculation
I like the flame in the first scene, first over Walt for his passion or love of chemistry. And then over the young couple. It's showing that Walt has that same kind of love reserved for his chemistry. Which is also why he says "I did it for me." at the end.
i would love to have a teacher as hard working and talented as mr white the best chemistry teacher my teachers were poor in terms of hours of study even more when it comes to chemistry
Walt would have been amazing as a college Profesor. The way he tries to captivate his audience, and yet they don’t care what so ever. None of us really did in highschool. Wasn’t until college when you actually want to take a chem class when it benefits you more. And he would have been the favorite Profesor no matter where he went
As I grow older, the more respect I have for teachers for talking to an audience that doesn't want to listen
same i never really liked school but i can tell some teachers in my school also didn't
I respect teacher’s passion for teaching.
@cat this is completely entirely the truth somebody has to say this
The way Walt keeps pausing, waiting for a student to complete his sentence, and having to do so himself, is like watching a puppy wait for a ball that never gets thrown.
Should have kept the clips where Walt teaches chemistry to Jesse, who is lowkey enjoying himself and is always amazed by the results of science. Even if it is about meth, Walt still manages to always turn it back to his passion in chemistry.
True but I think he paused at 2:18 specifically because he was going to name off an example from the top of his head but then remembered methamphetamine is a chiral molecule so he staggered.
I think with the exception of his wife and kids he really hated life
911, What's your emergency?
I think it's more like throwing a ball but there's no one to catch it
Mr. White is the kind of teacher that students doesn´t appreciate but must be a hell of a class. Sadly they are many Mr. White´s out there.
Mr White is the kind of a fuse waiting to burst into meth
No he's full of himself
For every Mr White there are nine burnout teachers who turn kids off the subject
It's strange that class is so homogeneous in its reaction. It's usually a handful who are interested for real, a half that pretends and the rest doesn't care.
God bless you and down with satan ‼️✝️✝️✝️
Walt loved teaching Science, he cherished any chance he got to explain chemical reactions to Jesse and ultimately dies happy seeing Jesse’s lab ran perfectly from everything he taught him.
He was happy, but also due to the fact that Jesse's meth still wasn't better than his because Jesse set the pressure a bit higher than the right amount.
Never looked at it that way. Interesting interpretation
Yes, I loved Walt's passion for chemistry!
Was wholesome af
Ironically Jesse failed his chemistry class. But was the only person who could cook meth on par with him, even the PHD master, the Don elaido couldn't replicate what he did.
As a chemistry teacher,
I would like to thank Walter for his contribution to my work. Because of him, I'm able to manufacture meth crystal of unmatched purity.
The way I see it, somebody's going to prison. It's just a matter of who.
"And just so you know, my brother-in-law is a DEA agent, and I will not hesitate to call him, not if i have to."

THAT’S MY PRODUCT - Heisenberg
As a fellow Chemistry graduate, I shake your hands. Shall we form our own empire of meth?
Watching Walt starting off as a quirky, enthusiastic chemistry teacher who cares about education, and then transforming into a heartless, cold drug kingpin, is so heartbreaking
All teachers are cold and heartless
Heartbreaking bad
@hotelmario510 being troubled and bitter doesn't make him not a nice man. You can tell by the first season that he meant well, loved his family, and wanted his chemistry students to succeed. And he definitely wouldn't be comfortable with the idea of doing bad things. This whole show was about him transforming and becoming desensitized to evil things around him, hence that's how he "breaks bad."
@hotelmario510 so how can we even guarantee that we are "good normal people" ? by this hypotesis maybe we are all evil and just waiting for the "very bad day" as the Joker says ?
This is a misinterpretation of Walt's character, I feel. We later find out in the show that Walt was never really a nice man. He's a deeply troubled and bitter man who is upset that he missed out on the wealth and power his colleagues at the chemical company ended up achieving. Becoming a drug lord was his way of getting that power he desperately craved. Walt didn't become Heisenberg, he always was Heisenberg. Entering the drug trade just gave him the balls to be as ruthless as he always wanted to be.
Walter White is the reason why Chemistry teachers all over the world have to verify to students that they won't be cooking meth on their 1st day of Chemistry Class.
But also the formula is pretty straightforward but doing it is a little trickier as obviously it could explode because methamphetamine is actually an explosive substance with literal mustard gas as a byproduct if you get the red phosphorus wet
They already had to do that, bro, meth was really popular before this show came out
@Tung Ming Xuan nuh uh
@Cromulom Nice try DEA
a kid in my class nonstop asked my chem teacher if we'd be cooking meth for like 2 months straight
What a teacher he is, he's kind, and passionate in his job. I wonder what he does after class is over
Makes blue rock candy
@some guy hopefully Walter doesn't try to blow him up
@Someone 2 I hear the owner of this chicken restaurant has really taken a liking to the crystals
Create beautiful crystals which he sells to fashion stores
0:58 One of my favourite moments in the show. He is literally describing his own journey that he is about to embark on. Amazing writing.
I think the even better parallel is when he talks about how explosions form. The faster something changes, the more violent and destructive the change is.
When he talks about chirality, he also explains himself. Two mirrored images, one good, one bad. Walter White vs Heisenberg
Bravo Vince!
Lesson 1: “the study of change”-growth, decay, transformation. The story of Walter White, summarized and prefaced in its first episode.
Lesson 2: “chirality”-how two things that look the same do not always behave the same. Walter White and Heisenberg: reflections of each other, but very different. One is a mild mannered school teacher and the other is a ruthless drug lord.
Lesson 3: “rapid chemical reactions”-how even the most unassuming of elements (like a 50-year old school teacher), when under the right conditions (like a terminal cancer diagnosis), can trigger an explosion of energy (Heisenberg’s two-year reign of terror).
Lesson 4: “carbon”-how a scientific genius was shunned and left penniless by his employers: exactly how Walt perceives his relationship with Elliot and Gretchen, and the root of all his simmering bitterness and pride.
It’s…fascinating, really.
It gets even more insane when you extrapolate the lessons to the show's 5 seasons.
Lesson 1: 'Chemistry: the study of change.'
Season 1: From the first few minutes of the first episode, Walt's life changes when he gets his cancer diagnosis. Then Hank shows him a meth lab. Then he has to kill 2 guys in self-defense. The first season is a documentation process of the start of his life drastically changing. In chemistry, a lot of changes are gradual, but once triggered it's very hard to stop them.
Lesson 2: 'Chirality.'
Season 2: In a lot of ways, the second season mirrors the first season. Walter White's motivation hasn't changed, Jesse is still a dumbass junkie, Skyler is still pregnant, and nobody suspects anything yet. The big difference is that, by later on in the season, Walt's 'boss' has been replaced; Tuco is gone, and Gus is now selling Walt's meth. In many ways, Gus is a mirror of Walt: a seemingly meek, bald old man with glasses that is always planning something and trying to stay a step ahead of everybody around him. The example Walt gave of chirality is thalidomide; like the thalidomide in his example, the differences between Walt and Gus haven't really manifested... yet.
Lesson 3: 'Rapid chemical reactions.'
Season 3: This is when the whole train starts to really go off the rails. Skyler learns about Walt's meth cooking and it fractures their relationship, which never recovers. Walt makes a few half-hearted attempts to quit cooking, but he ultimately just bumbles around and makes everything worse in his paranoia and insecurity, ultimately leading to Hank getting shot nearly to death, a civil war erupting between Fring's and Eladio's sides of the cartel, and Walt running over Gus's 2 dealers and then having his other chemist (and friend) Gale shot, which lands him firmly and irrevocably in shit creek.
Lesson 4: 'Carbon.'
Season 4: Walt wasn't teaching anymore by Season 4; that could be argued for the 4th lesson as well. He spent a significant portion of it discreetly bitching about his failings in life and pining for what could have been, which is exactly how Season 4 plays out: the slipping mask falls off, and we see start to see Walt for who he truly is: a petty little man, desperately trying to take control of his life by destroying everything around him. He bitches at Gus when the latter comes to see him about Gale, he buys a gun, he gets his shit kicked in by Mike for trying to get him to betray Gus, he takes Bogdan's framed first dollar bill and buys a soda with it, he contemplates having Jesse killed at least once, he memes at his wife so hard that she flees the state, he poisons a little kid, he has a screaming temper tantrum when he finds Skyler gave away his money, and he sets off a bomb in an old folks' home.
Lesson 5: Silence.
Season 5: In the last lesson, Walt has stopped caring about anything but himself. He doesn't do anything he's supposed to, and shortly after he gets fired, then burns the last bridge he has by trying to seduce the principal like an idiot. In Season 5, Walt feels like he can do whatever he wants now that Gus is dead. He could quit here and now; instead he proceeds to rob a train, have a gang of skinheads kill every remaining witness to his crimes, shoot Mike for insulting him, and proudly embrace his 'Heisenberg' persona... right up until it gets him robbed of $70 million and his brother-in-law's brains blown out. Then he has another temper tantrum, sells Jesse into torture and slavery, nearly stabs his wife, and flees across the country to escape the cops. His last act of defiance gets him shot before he can be arrested, and he dies a penniless pariah that nobody - not even his wife and son - mourn over.
Okay maybe a few of those are reaching but there's definitely parallels in at least the first and last lessons.
Lesson 5: “….ʰⁱ……what’s up….?”
This should be pinned. Oh, my god. ♥

My, my, my... How interesting, I never thought about it so deeply, but now that i see it I cannot, and wil not deny it
That intro clip when I saw his smile and excitement I knew then that Walter LOVED chemistry deeply, he could've used that passion to chase an amazing career but he chose the far more noble route of teaching it.
Yeah not every kid will become a chemist but every heart he does touch can and will become someone great. I love the actor, he really captured that deep love of his topic his character would love too.
He didn't do it on purpose he got shafted
I think by the time he was teaching he already did chase an amazing career; Walt let go of Gray Matter, then life caught up. He could’ve started another company or pursued a college teaching gig, but as we learn in the pilot, the guy is working two jobs, with a baby on the way. So he got stuck somewhere down the line and teaching is just there to pay the bills. We can’t deny how passionate he is about chemistry, but I don’t think he chose this career and I don’t think he’d stick with it if it wasn’t a good cover for his drug dealing.
I like how they realistically portray the students being totally disinterested. As someone who’s in high school, totally accurate lol
EDIT: oh my god guys. I say that it’s pretty realistic for kids be disinterested in a high school chemistry class and then it turned into people complaining about youth culture and the school system. Christ. Learn when to stop replying.
@GoodGuyCwyzz Lol please tell me you're joking.. How good you do in high school has nothing to do with what happens in adulthood. Like absolutely nothing at all. Even with a college degree you're still going to be working in retail for a while before anything legitimate comes around. You sound like those people who claim that homeless people are that way "because they didn't pay attention in school" or some nonsense. No one over the age of 19/20 even takes those talking points seriously.
@paulie153 I was in high school chemistry class exactly 10 years ago and although a fair number of adolescents show some interest in the topics that teachers are discussing, chemistry is not one of them. Some students being interested in Chemistry lectures? Sorry but I'm calling bull. Especially for public school.
Most highschool teachers these days give less of a shit then the students in the show
@Juan Melo Everything that they teach in school can be profitable if you one know knows to apply them when opportunities come.
They're not stuck in the "system", they just chose not to shut the door completely on opportunities and perks that comes along with having a degree or they're just simply passionate about what they were studying.
Some is useless... But think carefully. You have to be here. Why not get something out of it? At least if you can write a poem, you can get a girlfriend, if you can do basic economics you can have a house, if you can cook eggs, you can win over your parents with poached eggs. You are here. You don't have to learn it all. But you'd be surprised at how useful poems can be...
Walt gets better at keeping his class’ attention as the series goes on
@Karl Hungus yes
@Couscous Kazoo he’s just like Tony
True
I love the way he's portrayed as a teacher. If you aren't interested in chemistry, Walt would probably bore you shitless. But if you're into it, it's probably extremely interesting the way he presents things
The Chirality scene was deep. My chemistry teacher simply wrote the term on the board, and told us to study it ourselves. Having a teacher who cared about actually teaching his audience, even a dead audience, makes me so happy
What a nice man in a noble profession, impacting the lives of so many students. He really has a bright future ahead of him-I hope he sticks with teaching.
@P. Rubin I heard he was very passionate about chemistry, and taught it to a very interested student outside of the classroom.
He did stick to teaching
I hope he doesn't die either. I hope he has a happy family life.
I'd really pay for a Chemistry Class like Walter's, I felt bad for him not being listened by his students giving such an awesome class
What a heartwarming show of a struggling chemistry teacher coming to grips with the harsh reality of student life. Very dynamic and eye opening. Bravo Vince.
Notice how, as Walt loses his hair, his scalp becomes more visible. Truly deep story telling.
Vravo Bince!
I never noticed that holy shit
Waltuh put down the fork waltuh
Waltuh: I am the one who uses electricity “ puts fork in socket”
Johnny Bravo Vince
No shit.
this feels like a really realistic high school classroom too, shows don’t get this right very often there’s always a weird checklist of cliches they go down when writing teenagers/high schools in shows but this is actually perfect
Man I'd love to have Walter as my teacher. His lessons are always half chemistry half philosophy.
I actually had a chemistry teacher who taught very similarly to Walter White, he was the greatest teacher I ever had
Its like everything Walt couldn't express for years but is always on his mind, he finds himself speaking in the medium of Chemistry. The resentment he suffers, the passion that never got recognised, its all there.
It's funny, I've never seen this show outside of clips but Walt just looks like a friendly chemistry teacher here, it's hard for me to imagine this guy having a double life as a stone-cold drug lord.
the clips are mostly before he became the stone cold drug lord, in most of them he was doing it for his family and was really desdperate, in the last one he was on the verdge of becoming that ruthless drug lord.
I had a chemistry teacher that legit told us how meth is made. He said it using all scientific terms that none of the students understood, but he still told us. That guy was hilarious lol
@ArcOsprey Hmm, not many forests in SD.. I mean I guess it has to be east county either way but ight. Maybe just east of El Cajon like Lakeside/Alpine.
@Ryan Marshall idk he just said the mountains in a forest.
@ArcOsprey Which mountains? Like east county?
@No No They were literally just quoting Walt from the season 4 premier episode.
honestly I could watch Walter White speaking about chemistry for hours, they should make a spinoff about Walter White teaching chemistry ahaha
7:11 I love this scene because Walt is recalling how he had the same type of fate with Grey Matter as Dr Hall did with GE
This scene is great because it lays out what the show itself is about; a study in how Walter changes and how it affects everyone around him, just like a chemical reaction. It’s also a study of matter, or in society’s terms: morality. We tend to label people as wholly good or bad and those terms define what they are, just like chemical makeup defines matter. The show portrays everyone as having varying amounts of goodness and badness based on the various situations as they change. Very brilliantly done
You can see how much he really loves chemistry while teaching
It’s funny how I just realized most of his lessons he gave examples that completely relate to himself. Like “the faster the change the bigger the explosion” and “10 dollar bond for a multibillion dollar corporation”
Dude, if they just made a spin-off show of just Walter White teaching students chemistry, and just that, I’d probably watch it more than 100 times
@UnCreative Deconstructionism better not be talking about better call Saul
Better call walt
if you major in chemistry.. you'll find yourself struggling in front of a bunch of chem surfix subject. such as... biochem, orgchem, inorgchem, physic chem etc.. moreover, funny thing is each of it very different concept. lol
@Aaron Nikels That would be an amazing idea, considering that we already have BCS and Vince Gilligan seems to capitalize on the devolution of the surrounding events. This would fit perfectly and from the perspective of people who have nothing to do with the game whatsoever.
If I’m being honest here, this is how you know you got a good show on your hands. You start theorizing of every possible spin off and no matter how small, you just want *more*. Fascinating…
This spin-off would be good for online chemistry classes! Make it cheaper to subscribe to so that students don't have to pay a lot.
With Walter White as their Chemistry teacher, they will get A++ and begin developing a cure for cancer.
The opening scene is tragic for any number of reasons. Walter seems to be genuinely passionate about chemistry and his students ignore him completely. Then, later, we find out what a bitter and miserable man he is inside. One of the best television characters ever written.
Man as a near college grad boy do I miss the high school days where lectures were as fun and exciting as they were. There was always at least 50 fun facts you'd learn either related, partially related, or just totally unrelated to the subject at hand and unlike college professors who just use the same pre-made lessons and power-points it always felt like the best of high school teachers always went the extra mile to make meaningful connections between the class material and the students. Probably my best teacher was my honors Chemistry teacher, he taught the class at a similar level to an introductory college chemistry course, no reference tables, no formula sheets, labs that took days to finish. All I'm saying is if you're in high school still and have a good teacher appreciate all the lessons they give you like serious don't take it for granted a lot of what I learned back in those days helped me to become a much better student for my college years. You'll appreciate it when you get a crappy Ad-junct professor who can't teach and doesn't even make their own notes.
This is really what’s sad about teachers. They spend their lives pursuing their passions, make a whole career about showing others why it is fascinating, which they themselves believe, and most of the time nobody gives a shit. It is truly sad, teachers deserve more.
Now that I've seen this series a few times, I really love how all the class lectures Walt gives also serves as for-shadowing of what is to come in the show.
My high school chemistry teacher was a millionaire. He owns the patent on a special type of plastic used by nearly all corporations today. Drove a Ferrari and owned many more. Lake house. But his wife was extremely sick and he ended up getting bored staying indoors. So he started teaching. Some of the coolest lessons I’ve ever had.
Curiosity is killing me right now, you keep dropping these little hints on who he is and I cannot figure out who this guy is lol
@Joseph Litman idk..but it had a blue hue to it.
Was it the purest plastic on the market
Damn
I would love to have a teacher like Walter, he explains things in a fun and engaging manner
Judging by how well Walter knows his chemistry, there's a pretty high chance he might be Heisenburg.
@PEETAGREEFIN Definitely. I mean clearly the missing school lab equipment that would be specifically used to make meth around the time Walter the chemistry genius asked to go on a ride along to a meth lab was taken by Hugo, the math just adds up. Can't wait to see the rest of the show to see the conclusion of who is the Heisenberg!
That’s ridiculous. DEA would’ve figured that out ESPECIALLY considering that Walt’s brother-in-law is a DEA ASAC.
I love this technique of showing the same scene at different stages of Walt's transformation, from Walt entering his house, to him cooking meth, to the family gatherings, etc.
What an amazing and passionate teacher. I sure hope he has a steady home life and relationship with his family.
“The faster they undergo change, the more violent the explosion” speaks volumes about Walters life
@Harrison Sloan like the part about the inventor of diamonds being compensated with a $10 bond. Alludes to Walt and his company Grey Matter
All the teaches scenes are indirect messages about his life
That’s good storytelling for ya
The saddest part is that his classes are more engaging than the classes of most of the science teachers I've had. I can honestly imagine him giving lectures at a university where his students are actually interested in the subject, they love him and he's happy at his job.
Thank you Mr. White for these lectures🙏. I’m doing much better in AP Chem thanks to you.
Unfortunately, my chemistry teacher was a bit boring and not as engaging when it came to teaching like he was a bit bored of it himself, BUT when the paperwork was there and done, you could see that he was a bit like us, finally being allowed to actually see chemistry happen.
As a last day of class gift for some of his students, he created some faux-gold plated pennies in class using the ventilation chamber in class. I got one, but I think I lost it somewhere.
I think this series was the one that pushed me to be a teacher, not about chemestry, but biology...idk why but i want people to understant how crazy a living being can be and all the other process that occur in nature, and i say this knowing very well that giving class to teens is as hard as trying to climb a mountain with a fork, even more when you have studends like the one that appeared in the first episodio of the series
I'd love a comprehensible series of chemistry videos with Cranston/White as the teacher.
This was a brilliant show of why we need to appreciate our teachers.
I like that an inadvertent moral is “treat teachers well or one will break bad, become a messy meth kingpin, and ruin everyone who is involved with him to the point that all of Albuquerque’s criminal network is disappeared because that person is torn between ego and pride and protecting the very little that he cares for”.
If Walter White was real, I would have genuinely loved to have him as a chemistry teacher. He is so passionate and dynamic when he talks about the subject that I cannot help, but have my attention drawn. Plus, how could a middle/high schooler not get their mind blown when a man seamlessly changes the color of a flame right in front of them.
Soo true .I would loved chemistry then
Sadly he ended up like the ones he once hated
@Car TM well at least he didn’t put solid sodium in water 💀
Yeah, let's see if you actually learn anything. Oh wow, a blue flame without context
If he was my chemistry teacher, nobody in my class would procrastinate on their lab reports
when i watched breaking bad i didnt know much about chemistry but now i can actually follow his lessons properly especially the chiral lesson
As someone who's never seen the show, it was interesting to watch his behavior during the classes change. They're great glimpses into his mental state.
This Walter seems like such a good teacher, he must a really nice person too!
Listening to Walter explain made me understand better than the time when my actual teacher explained chemistry
In the first episode Walt is as fascinated with teaching chemistry as Gale was while watching Walt
"Knowledge is power." Despite it being a common phrase, it speaks so well in Breaking Bad.
Knowledge is power but wisdom is what allows you to stay in control of that power and keep you from being corrupted by it.
Knowledge is White...Power
- Walter White
lol
@AntiAliasedEno Unknowledgeable comment
its our school motto lol
@tenzin tsenpey Power couldn't get her a good ending.
He genuinely seemed like a fun and good teacher
Wish I had a Mr.White as my chemistry professor
I’m actually learning more here than what I’m learning in chemistry at school.
be fr
No you're not
probably because you don't pay attention
I remember my first ochem lab, we were trying to find all the stuff Walt used to cook 😂, unfortunately our teacher saw right through us and be like, no we are not doing breaking bad here
Idk man, Walter sounds like a good teacher to me, explaining concepts in an understandable language, demonstrating stuff, I would be listening if I were in this class.
I appreciate how walt's opening statement about the study of change carries on throughout the entire show
and chirality mimics his dual personas
All I can think about when I hear that line is Chuck and Jimmy's Pimento moment
@The Conscious Observer great contribution
Bravo, Vince
Honestly, if you showed these clips to someone who has never watched Breaking Bad, they'd have absolutely no idea that a chemistry teacher like this was a meth kingpin
ong we need teachers like walter white. Bro was always hyped to show off chemistry and excited to teach it
As Walter gains more and more confidence and becomes more and more Heisenberg, his students pay more and more attention.
As a person with deep social anxiety, the last scene had me in panic
As a third year chemical engineering student, this bring so much memories to me. He is like my professor.
I don't actually consider him a 'bad' teacher . . . His 'performance' may seem to be a little awkwardly timid or affected but he's still engaging enough for the kids who wanted to listen.
Walter White was a good teacher. But I think he would have been a better college professor. He explained things simple for a college student while making it sound interesting. Would have loved to take his basic Chem class.
@Luke Teaching absolutely needs real world examples, preferably interesting ones, not just basic theories. Even if only for the ever present "why so we even need to know this" question most students have.
From my experience, students are usually more interested when you go on a tangent as well. Partly this might be because they don't feel like it's stuff they are forced to learn for tests, but I feel like it's mostly because it's just interesting to learn about real life examples and not just dry formulas and theory.
For the kids who aren’t that interested, he’d be a bad teacher who just goes off onto irrelevant and long winded tangents.
Though I personally like tangents
@Luke The way he presents it is reasonably engaging but I mostly agree
I've experienced this in some sort, I once talked to a bunch of 17 yearolds about my career and instantly realized teaching wasn't for me. I still teach individuals that pay a lot of money and are mostly interested in passing a class so they show a little more interest but still, f teaching kids and mad respect for the people that dedicate their life to do so.
I'm currently studying chemistry but before i made the choice of studying that career i met a teacher just like Walter White, the same pasion for teaching and he inspired my love for science
It just occurred to me his lesson on chirality was a metaphor for his own double life. Even Walter struggles giving the lesson because he realizes it too.
He reminds me of my logistics teacher.
He was a chill guy who ignored those who didn't want to learn and only wasted his time with the ones who actually wanted to learn.
I love how these lectures mirror his own life
Teachers this smart really do deserve respect and full attention. I always gave respect to my high school professors who were absolute geniuses and over qualified to teach. They could have totally been college professors
My last chemistry teacher had doctorates in Chemistry and Biochemistry and was teaching part time in school (14-18y olds) and college/high school (18+). To say she was over qualified is an understatement. She could at least be teaching at Uni. But choose to have more time for her family
college professors.... all the glory, none of the work. I am glad that some of you recognized your wonderful teachers. No such thing as overqualified to teach. Public schools deserve to have the best most knowledgeable teachers. It's a shame society thinks that "those that can't teach". If America actually valued/prioritized public education and it's number one enemy poverty....
Makes me wish I had a good science teachers I love the subject but my science teacher left on sickness leave and we had a series of useless substitute teachers who couldn't control the classroom
Some of them are both
@Triangle Moebius blablablablabla
I had a physics teacher that reminds me a bit of Mr. White. He made physics so interesting that I had to take advanced physics in high school.
He showed with a laser how distances are on a DVD disk. The reflections came on the table.
In an advanced course he smoked a cigarette into a chamber and showed stuff with lasers as well.
He was so good, without him I wouldn't have graduated from high school.
Later on I heard he got elected to the best physics teacher in the country I live in.
A true hero.
If I had a teacher like Walter White for chemistry I might've actually learned something.
I wish I had a teacher like him, he actually seems like he cares lmfao
Que bien da la clase este profesor a de ser buena persona
I learned more chemistry from walter white than in my actual chemistry class
I am doing a master's in chemical engineering, and I thought the moment at 2:17 was brilliant. Here, Walt stumbled because he presumably thought of methamphetamine (given the show's context) as an example. Methamphetamine itself is an isomer! The S-methamphetamine isomer is significantly more potent than the R-methamphetamine isomer - an excellent piece of chemical trivia embedded in the show! Also, I believe that in a later episode, Walt says to Gus that his product is enantiomerically pure, and not racemic, hence another reason why his product was so sought after (as it contained only the more potent 'S' isomer). Bravo, Vince!
@John Smith You use the proper precursor. That's it. A pseudoephedrine-based cook would yield only the dextro isomer whereas a P2P cook would yield half and half so it would have to go through another chemical process if the P2P method was used.
@N. S. No way to cook stereospecific (enantiomerically pure) meth? A basic pseudoephedrine or normal ephedrine cook would do just that. Which is what they did for most of season 1.
@RAGE QU1T The rule of thumb whenever taking amphetamine or methamphetamine is to always do the dextrorotatory isomer (pure dextroamphetamine or pure dextro-methamphetamine) if you can. If that's what you mean by "trying something". I have a telehealth prescription for pure dextroamphetamine aka Dexedrine. Adderall is only 75% dextroamphetamine though and 25% levo.
@secretvanush Because R means 'racemic' which means an equal mixture of both right and left.
@mechadoggy Nope. DRA probably meaning 'dopamine releasing agent' in this context because they're both 'releasing agents' and reuptake inhibitors at the same time. Amphetamines are certainly not "antagonists". That would be more so caffeine; which is an adenosine (receptor) antagonist. Most drugs are seemingly agonists though. And they agonize (or antagonize) certain *receptor* sites, not the neurotransmitters themselves, even though it's basically the same idea.
I am happy that I have a teacher like him.
What's crazy to me is he's actually a great teacher, like wtf

Just shared this video with my friends and family.
Thanks for your video, it encourages me to take the first step toward my dreams.
Everything about this video is simply perfect. Thank you.
I like to believe that he came to class and just did and said absolutely nothing for the entire period for several days, and nobody complained about it because the principal didn't notice until S3E4.
If I have a Chemistry teacher like Mr. White，I would be a chemist already。Love him❤
I've learnt more about chirality from Walt than I've had in my school classes
One of the greatest actors ever. The way he played 1st season Walt was amazing. I legit believed that he was an over qualified chemistry teacher with terminal lung cancer.
@ameen eagle Lay on Lay's
congrats on 1k likes
@Beans I. Garand league of legends…..
@shahrukh877 LoL....
Walter White was the greatest Chemistry teacher I ever had
Now this is a teacher I'd love to learn from.
I had class in that exact classroom. It hasn’t changed a bit, just no more chalk boards.
i feel like this will make me remember chemistry better than school ever will
I have been so blessed to have an absolutely lovely and hard working chemistry teacher who had all my respect
Loved chemistry theory to death, absolutely hated how much I sucked at writing down the several pages of information we had to establish every calculation
Crazy how Bryan Cranston personally studied chemistry for 4 years and became a high school chemistry teacher just for his roll
@VreikeZen Not for me thanks.
@C B Egg rolls?
@MaskedMarvyl 🤣bacon 🥓roll or drum🥁 roll
Role*
What kind of roll was it? A Kaiser roll or a yeast roll?
If Walter White was my chemistry teacher, I’d be a chemist, just looking at the clips making me want to be a chemist-especially the first one
I like the flame in the first scene, first over Walt for his passion or love of chemistry. And then over the young couple. It's showing that Walt has that same kind of love reserved for his chemistry. Which is also why he says "I did it for me." at the end.
Literally better than any teacher I have ever had
Instead of studying my current chemistry lesson I'm watching waltuh teaching chemistry to others
i would love to have a teacher as hard working and talented as mr white the best chemistry teacher my teachers were poor in terms of hours of study even more when it comes to chemistry
Walter White seems like a really nice and caring person, I heard he once got 10 innocent people out of prison in just 2 minutes. Such a great guy!
He sent these ten people on a trip to Belize
I heard he is the one who knocks
Might’ve gotten… a few facts wrong
He helped an elderly man get a sens of closure before death.
Cringe comment
The chirality scene is so great.
Damn I wish I had a cool teacher like Walter. He seems like he genuinely cares about his class
Walt would have been amazing as a college Profesor. The way he tries to captivate his audience, and yet they don’t care what so ever. None of us really did in highschool. Wasn’t until college when you actually want to take a chem class when it benefits you more. And he would have been the favorite Profesor no matter where he went
