Character mistake: When Walt steals the bottles of "hydrofluoric acid," they are misspelled on the labels as "hydroflouric." This misspelling is corrected when hydrofluoric acid reappears in season 4. This was corrected for some DVD releases but is still visible on some streaming services. (00:11:20)
Character mistake: When Skylar types in the phone number, the paper reads "505-148-5039," but on the computer she types "505-148-3369." (00:14:30)
...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3
Character mistake: Hank finds the bag of meth in Krazy8's car. He picks it up to show Gomez and examine it. However, he does all of that in his ungloved hand. He then proceeds to place the meth in an evidence bag. (00:43:10)
...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3
Character mistake: When Walt and Gretchen are talking about the elements in the body, they list hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, iron, sodium, and phosphorus. The percentage is short and she says "supposedly that's everything." But they don't count elements like sulfur (which has a greater abundance than sodium), potassium, chlorine, and magnesium. Even as college students, they would know those elements are in the body.
Cancer Man - S1-E4
Character mistake: When Walt is in the bathroom using hydrogen peroxide to clean his leg wound he received from killing Crazy 8, he notices blood on his pants. He tries to clean the bloodstain off with a toothbrush. I think that any and EVERY chemist would know that hydrogen peroxide almost instantly removes blood stains from clothing. But, instead of using this somewhat common knowledge, Walt scrubs the stain with a toothbrush under the sink. Even if he had never heard of this 'trick', given the nature of H2O2 and Walt's understanding of chemistry, he would have realized this chemical solution immediately... Especially since he used the peroxide seconds before discovering the blood stain. (00:15:55 - 00:17:10)
Gray Matter - S1-E5
Character mistake: The actor that plays Walter Jr. is laughing in the scene where they confront Walter about treatment. Hank is reaching for items from the cheese plate and RJ Mitte is trying to hide his laughter. (00:25:30)
One Minute - S3-E7
Character mistake: When Hank is asked to hand over his gun and badge, he just puts his loaded gun on the table. When, in fact, you would remove the magazine and bullet in the chamber before handing it over.
Character mistake: When Hank is brought to the hospital with gunshot wounds, the ambulance and its two EMTs are met outside by two doctors. One doctor says "Let's get him two grams of oxygen. What's his hemoglobin?" This episode's technical adviser was perhaps away for this scene. How much exactly is two grams of oxygen? Orders for administering oxygen would be given in liters, such as two liters per minute (LPM). The line is presumably meant to be 'two liters of oxygen'. (00:02:25)
Character mistake: After Walt tries to slap the fly on the paper, he lifts his hand and the math is wrong. He has 2,103 + 9,745 = 11,928 and 6,012 + 7,287 = 13,301. But the actual sums are 11,848 and 13,299.
Suggested correction: Walter just killed a person for the first time. This took a traumatic tool on him and has clouded his thinking, which would affect his thinking process.
This scene takes place a couple of days later. Enough time for the adrenaline to leave his system.
