...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When we see the basement while Krazy-8 is alive, we can see that there is no light coming in from outside or any windows. When Jesse returns and goes to the basement all of a sudden there is loads of daylight streaming into the basement. (00:42:10)

Buried - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: When Todd is walking Lydia through the bodies, in one shot they are next to one body. Camera cuts to an aerial view and they are a good 1-2m further back. (00:39:20)

Problem Dog - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jesse is emptying the cigarette, his fingers are right at the end of the cigarette. Camera cuts and now they are up the other end. (00:19:20)

Box Cutter - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: During the diner scene when Jesse is eating, Walt asks him how he's doing. Jesse's head changes positions several times between shots. From looking out of the window, to back down at his plate, to back out of the window, to straight ahead again, all between shots.

Quantom X

Cornered - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: At the start, the hijackers use a UV light to find the stamp that indicates which bucket of sauce has meth in them. However, the stamp shines yellow, while in a previous episode it's shown shining blue. (00:06:20)

4 Days Out - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: There are no water cooling tubes attached to the reflux condensers. Reflux condensers do not condense without cooling. (00:15:40)

One Minute - S3-E7

Other mistake: At the end, we see the gunfight between Tuco's cousins and Hank. Several shots are fired, cars smash into each other, a woman runs off screaming. So not a "quiet" attack. However, as the camera zooms out to show the carnage, 2 people who are not involved in the attack, are just stood talking in the car park. A bit odd since there has been a very clear shoot out. (00:44:50)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Nobody is actually standing in the car park. People are standing around on the sidewalks talking to each other about what was going on, keeping their distance. Personally I would keep a bigger distance, but whatever distance they feel safe with.

As the camera pans out you can see some people only a couple of cars away.

Ssiscool

All I see are bystanders at a safe distance. At least from a distance they don't know where the actual shooting took place. It looks perfectly reasonable to me for the situation.

Seven Thirty-Seven - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when Walt and Jesse are leaving the junkyard, the camera pans to Tuco and Ganzo watching them drive away. However, this is at the same time Ganzo is moving No Doze's body and is subsequently crushed by a car.

Show generally

Question: Just how does Walt intend to explain the presence of all that meth money, even posthumously? Just how does he think his heirs will react to that, how is he going to launder it? How does he think his wife and kids will explain it? If they knowingly inherit and use such money, they could face charges of accessory after the fact. Is this ever addressed in the show?

dizzyd

Chosen answer: I'm not sure how far you are into the show but he does eventually come up with a way to launder it (wont spoil it for you but rest assured, when he gets a lawyer the show gets much better!) and in the final season he also comes up with a way to give his children his money without the cops or the DA knowing it came from him.

The_Iceman

Answer: Walt decided to buy a car wash to launder his money, which makes a profit without the dirty money. At the end he blackmailed Elliot and Gretchen in to giving his money to junior and Holly. However 90% of his $80m is stolen.
