'Breaking Bad': 12 story lines you never got to see


By now, you’ve heard Breaking Bad‘s famous what-if stories: Jesse (Aaron Paul) was going to die at the end of season 1! Tuco’s story (and life) ended earlier than planned because actor Raymond Cruz was contractually obligated to The Closer! The show was originally set in Riverside, California! But what are some other intriguing scenarios that didn’t made it out of the writers’ room? As the AMC crime drama heads toward its finale on Sept. 29, EW asked series creator Vince Gilligan, coexecutive producer Peter Gould and executive story editor Gennifer Hutchison to give up the goods on some Bad ideas that we never saw.

Marie shoots the delivery guy
PLOT Convinced there is a bad man lurking around her house, Marie (Betsy Brandt) opens fire on a UPS guy by mistake. (Yes, the gun would be purple.) The idea stemmed from Brandt’s desire to shoot someone on the show. “We loved it, we didn’t know what it meant, we didn’t know where it would go,” says Gilligan. “When Betsy reads this, she’s going to be upset with me: ‘Why didn’t I get to do that?’ ”
WHY IT WAS REJECTED It felt a little too broad and silly. And as Hutchison notes, “Hank would have to get her out of it and that definitely pushed it.”

Walt takes on a high school “bully”
PLOT Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) comes home with a black eye, leading Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Skyler (Anna Gunn) to think he’s being bullied by a classmate. For revenge, Walt plants pot in the student’s locker, only to find out that Walt Jr. was the one bullying the kid, who fought back.
WHY IT WAS REJECTED “The stakes weren’t high enough,” says Hutchison. In addition, “we were better served by keeping Walter Jr. a little pure. It’s been really useful for us dramatically,” says Gould.

Heisenberg opens a pharmacy
PLOT Walt switches to either bootleg pharmaceuticals—Viagra, anyone?—or meth sold in capsules marked with a special logo. (There was also talk of having him make plastic explosives.)
WHY IT WAS REJECTED “Ultimately it was like, the show’s about meth. The blue meth is so iconic,” says Hutchison, who adds: “It’s not really hard to get a prescription for a lot of these drugs.”

Jesse calls in fired-up expert archer Badger
PLOT The cops impound Jesse’s car, which contains evidence tying Jesse and Walt to cartel leader Tuco (Raymond Cruz). Solution? “Jesse recruits Badger [Matt Jones], who has a crossbow,” says Gould. “Walt and Jesse construct a flaming arrow, which Badger shoots into the police impound and destroys Jesse’s car.”
WHY IT WAS REJECTED “In the end, we had other things to do,” says Gould, who, in a reference to a similar season 5 scene, adds: “I like the magnet [idea] better. It’s more scientific.”

Hank and Walt shoot some guns and see some buns
PLOT Hank (Dean Norris) takes Walt (Bryan Cranston) to a desert shooting range that features scantily clad women as instructors. “The idea was that it would be fun to have Walt pretending he didn’t know what he was doing while dealing with the guy who can’t find him out,” says Hutchison.
WHY IT WAS REJECTED “Ultimately you had to go a long way to not get an awful lot, and believe me, we tried — over and over again,” chuckles Gould, who adds: “We found other ways for male bonding between Walt and Hank.”

Walt goes to prison in South America
PLOT Walt journeys to South America to meet with a drug lord who is running his business from prison. “Walt would go into the pit of ultimate darkness in this hellish prison where one guy lies like a king,” says Gould. “He would negotiate with the guy and they would come to some sort of agreement that would squeeze out Gus (Giancarlo Esposito).”
WHY IT WAS REJECTED The writers were more interested in seeing Walt go after Gus in the manner that you saw onscreen. Plus, says Gould: “A middle-aged suburban guy? How is he going to connect with all these international dealers? We never quite made the leap, although we loved the image.” A germ of this idea would later be used in the plot involving Mexican drug cartel boss Don Eladio (Steven Bauer).

Breaking Bad heads back to frontier times

jeez those ideas were kinda terrible :x

esp walt jr being a bully and the chisel idea

walt going to a south american jail coula been cool, as well as he and hank at a shooting range w chicks
 
I'm sorry but Walt going to a South American prison is jumping the shark territory :rofl: Too wild. Reminds me of Prison Break when they did that.

These other ones were good though. Badger with the crossbow :pimp: The western side story reminds me of what Moore did with Watchmen with the backup pirate story. I would've wanted to see Gus have someone be paralyzed in that manner, that should've been the introduction to Gus. Just hearing his voice and seeing the back of his head as they walked behind the Home Depot to punish whoever.

I would've liked to see Marie shoot someone as well :lol:

:rofl: @ blowing up and badly burning Badger and Skinny Pete. They should do that at the very end if Walt and Jesse die and ppl still want that blue.
