* EvilIsPetty: After Walter and Skyler conspire to force Bogdan to sell them his carwash at a loss (implied to be all that he has), Walter then refuses to let Bogdan leave with the first dollar he'd earned (which he had framed on the wall). To cap it all off, as soon as Bogdan is gone, Walt smashes the frame and spends the dollar on a drink from the vending machine. While Bogdan [[AssholeVictim earned some of this]] by having humiliated Walt in the past, it still comes across as unnecessarily cruel.

** Early on, Badger and Skinny Pete regularly make individual appearances without the other, whereas later they are treated as an inseparable duo and are never seen without the other. Also, Badger's first appearance has him belligerently fighting with Jesse over meth, characterizing him as somewhat of a short-tempered {{Jerkass}}, whereas later episodes portray him as harmless and bumbling, with UndyingLoyalty towards Jesse.

He correctly points that it doesn't make sense for Walt to purchase an untraceable handgun that's very expensive and an automatic felony if he's caught with it; since Walt is ostensibly buying the gun for self defense, has no criminal record, and lives in a state with permissive gun laws, it makes much more sense for him to just go to a gun store and purchase it legally.
