We're probably somewhat aware of the bald, scowling Walter, of the 'Heisenberg' t-shirts that were all the rage a few years ago, of the reputation Breaking BadВ has as a high-tension, riveting crime drama. For anyone watching Breaking BadВ after its 2008-2013 run, or perhaps even just after the first few seasons, there's a similar sensation to the first five episodes.

Roger Ebert wrote in his review of the 1978 SupermanВ (or perhaps for his recap of that film when reviewing the sequel) that the audience came to the movie to see Clark Kent don the cape and tights, and so the first hour or so - of sci-fi disaster, small-town melodrama, and Romantic wanderlust - was fraught with anticipation and impatience. And enter, finally, 'Heisenberg,' the alias a gaunt, bald Walter adopts when he blows up Tuco's lair with some creative chemistry and forces his own terms on the finally impressed local kingpin. Exit Walter White, nebbishy nobody who can cook killer meth but stays the hell away from the cutthroat side of the business.

More notably, Jesse's cautious pushing yields a small return for the risk Walter is taking, and so the timid middle-aged schoolteacher decides to follow his own advice to Jesse: 'Grow some balls!' Enter Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz), a local distributor whom Jesse attempts to impress - winding up in the hospital for his efforts. It's up to Jesse to learn from the master as Walter admits he has cancer and tells the young man he'll be sitting outside the trailer catching his breath if he needs any tips. Walter's chemo and radiation treatments are taking their toll (he shaves his head once his hair starts falling out), rendering him incapable of finishing a batch he starts cooking. Except, of course, it doesn't go that way at all. One man is book smart, the other street smart: so it goes.

Walter, on the other hand, is a brilliant chemist but (as his macho DEA brother-in-law constantly likes to remind him) it's a given that he couldn't handle the subtle social intricacies and navigation of force and power of the criminal underworld.

Jesse has little discipline or skill when it comes to chemistry, but he know the drug business - where and how to move the product. Each member of the team is to know his limitations and area of expertise.

Jesse is to stay out of the kitchen, and Walter is to stay out of the boardroom so to speak (or, more realistically, 'off the streets'). Story (aired on March 2, 2008/written by George Mastras directed by Bronwen Hughes): Walter and Jesse begin making meth again, but Walter sets some clear boundaries.
