10. Walt's Failed Suicide

How different things could have been! Towards the close of the pilot episode, before people had even heard of the name Heisenberg, Walt attempts to blow his brains out. Putting a gun to his chin, he pulls the trigger, only to find the safety was still on. Rather than the expected police cars coming to arrest him, a group of fire trucks arrive. Walt quickly stashes the gun and returns home to sexually invigorate his wife in a way she'd long since forgotten the feeling of. €œWalt, is that you?€ she wonders. Yup. Still alive and about to change television history. Thanks to a safety he forgot to take off.
