It's when he coerces Jesse to make meth with him, right at the beginning. Surely that's the whole point of the show?

You are definitely missing the point

She's choking because she took smack, and got Jesse hooked on it too.
She would have gotten them both killed, no doubt.

So many particulars. So many questions.
still a good man at that point. Not crossed the line

he watched a young girl choke to death on her own vomit- fuck your utilitarianism, thats not on.

A good man does not blackmail a vulnerable young man to help him make drugs and risk being sent to prison forever.

A teacher blackmailing a former student into commiting a crime is unequivocally BREAKING BAD

Right...this young girl blackmailed him for millions of dollars, got his mate hooked on heroin and threatened to grass Walt up to the police?
Why do you think her dad was constantly checking on her? Because she was a naive virgin, prey to the world? Why do you think he locked her away in that place, a prisoner of his will? Because she was good?
Would you prefer Little House on the Prairie? The Waltons? Happy Days?
Breaking Bad, for me, is the greatest story ever. All the characters have depths of nastiness...every one of them. That is not to say they are nasty, it only admits that it can lie in us all.
Walter White enters the world of drug dealers, drug lords, police, DEA, money laundering, corrupt lawyers, hit men, child killers. In Breaking Bad we see the depths of humanity. Peekaboo?
And he becomes legend.
They say his name, all of them. They say his name and feel fear.
It's not perfect, but it damn near is.

her dad was Q from star trek iirc
but no, you don't let somebody choke on their own vomit. And watch while it happens. There is a line.

You need to watch season 3, seriously.
You're hung up on a chapter and stopped reading the book. Did you notice the titles from episodes 1, 4, 10 and 13?
DotCommunist
So many particulars. So many questions.
nay, wherein lies the significance of these title sequences?

So many particulars. So many questions.
my fave episode is still the one where they get stuck in the desert and nearly die of thirst.
I'm going to have to watch the rest now aren't I? Godammit.

Live and don't learn, that's me.
The giant mechanical man. Thoroughly enjoyed this and when it finished was surprised that an hour and a half had past.

Yeah, and cars explode while he looks moody, the full Neeson works. You'll love it, there's even a noble old Stasi officer.

Stasi man was the star turn. Neeson was only at 50% till the final fight when he went 100% Neeson.
Berlin looked so pretty though, last time I saw it looking that good on film was Wir Sind Die Nacht. Must go someday.

Red and Red 2.
I caught the latter on a plane flight recently, and thought I'd check out the former. They were both pretty good, and I must say Bruce Willis looks very good for a man his age (he's about 70 now right?).
Also watched Prometheus last night. I really enjoyed this one, which had the real SFnal sensawunda and I wish I'd seen it in a cinema. Noomi Rapace was excellent as the archaeologist, as were the rest of the cast really. That said though. . .

Some of the plot holes and cliches were unacceptable:
1. Stringer Bell's great-grandson taking one for the team and sacrificing his life - we've seen this done over and over again and it's always the black guy as well. Why would they build a ship like the Promotheus and not fit it with an autopilot?
2. When Idris Elba and Charlize Theron go off to shag, why doesn't he detail one of the crew to keep an eye on the news feed from the secret alien temple?
3. And the two lads who were left behind in the secret alien temple - how did they get lost in the first place, given that they had an electronic surveillance thing keeping tabs on them? And if they were freaked out by finding the alien body in the chamber, why did they then settle down to wait in the spookiest part of the temple they'd found so far?

Thanks for that. A good thread I missed at the time. But I don't care about the holes in the end anyway, regardless of the Wrath of the Fanboys.
I see from that thread that Scott is trying to definitively answer the "is Deckard a replicant" question - which is not his place to do so, and in any case BR makes more sense if Deckard is a human whose sense of identity and self is disturbed and threatened by the "humanity-ness" of the replicants.
