Breaking Bad

Felina - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Walter White is with the Neo-Nazis waiting for Jesse to appear, one of the thugs throws Walter's car keys and wallet on the pool table. Their position changes between shots, sometimes being parallel to each other, other times very far apart. (00:40:15 - 00:42:10)

Sacha

Ozymandias - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the shootout starts in the previous episode, Walter is handcuffed in the back of the SUV and trying to get to the floorboard to avoid the gunfire, and his glasses eventually fall off. After the gunfight when he is yelling at Jack from the back of the SUV, his glasses are back on his face, which would be hard to do handcuffed.

Buried - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: When Jesse is lying on the rotating disc at the beginning of the episode, in the initial side view Jesse's head doesn't reach the centre of the disc. However, when they switch to an aerial view from the top down, he is lying on the exact centre. Presumably, Jesse's feet couldn't reach the ground to rotate the disc when he put his head on the exact centre.

Blood Money - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: After Walt comes back to Jesse's house and returns his bags of money to him, Jesse is sitting on the couch with his hand over his mouth as he looks off to the side. After Walt says that "it's your money, you've earned it" he goes to sit down on the couch with Jesse, his hand still over his mouth as the camera pans around. When it cuts to a different angle as Walt is sitting down, suddenly Jesse's hand is down on his neck.

Quantom X

Buried - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: When we see Lydia take her blindfold off, the windscreen has a layer of dust over it just outside the wipers reach. Camera cuts to a different angle and the windscreen is spotless. (00:33:50)

Gliding Over All - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: After Pinkman opens the bags filled with money he throws his gun along the floor. When it stops it points in a 3 o'clock position. When the angle changes it points in a 1 o'clock position. (00:41:00)

Sacha

Felina - S5-E16

Casual Person

Felina - S5-E16

Casual Person

Felina - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Skyler picks up the lottery ticket, in the close-up shot, she has two fingers placed over the top half of the ticket. When the shot cuts, those two fingers are suddenly no longer touching the ticket. (00:32:00)

Casual Person

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Lydia is telling Todd about what her buyers are expecting, the cup of tea she is holding has a string and label over the front side of the cup. The string and label stay in the same place when Todd moves over to her, but when the shot cuts back to Lydia, the string and label are suddenly at the other side of the cup, before continuing to jump back and forth between front and back for the next few shots. (00:03:50)

Casual Person

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Todd sits down next to Lydia, she has a bag on the table next to her. When the two begin talking and the camera is on Lydia, the bag is on its side. When it cuts to Todd, the bag is suddenly upright. When it cuts back to Lydia, the bag is on its side, then upright again when the camera cuts to Todd. (00:03:10)

Casual Person

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Todd is testing the new batch to see how pure it is, he looks at a chart on a clipboard. In the close-up, he has one hand over the clipboard. When the shot cuts, he has both hands over the clipboard. (00:00:55)

Casual Person

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Jack takes off his mask after finishing the batch and Todd says "Mr White said the fumes aren't good to breathe", Lydia is shown looking straight forward at Jack. When the shot cuts, Lydia is looking down at the batch. (00:00:17)

Casual Person

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Out in the desert, Hank yells at Walt to drop his gun. Walt, in a frontal shot, extends his arm out to his side and lets the gun drop. When it changes to a low angle from behind Walt, suddenly this same arm and hand are down at his side instead of extended out.

Quantom X

Rabid Dog - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: In the car when Walt meets up with Saul and discusses "Old Yeller" Walt asks what he means and is looking at Saul. When it cuts to a close up of Walt, he's suddenly looking more straight ahead or towards the driver, only then to turn his face to Saul.

Quantom X

Say My Name - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: When Hank steps in and presents the search warrant to Mike, he's holding it close with Mike looking down at it. When the angle cuts, suddenly Mike is leaning his head back like he's trying to look at it near sighted.

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.
