10 TV Show Moments That Aren't What They Seem

SPOILER WARNING!

While it had already been announced that both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would be making their highly anticipated comeback to the Breaking Bad sphere in the final season of Better Call Saul, what hadn't been revealed was the return of another iconic character of sorts: that being the pair's infamous RV meth lab.

However, there was actually one rather unexpected problem heading into the moment that would see Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, and Saul Goodman reunite within the unmistakable vehicle.

As set decorator Ashley Marsh discovered very quickly upon returning to the "Krystal Ship" that had been stored away in the Sony lot for a few years, the entire interior of the legendary RV had been "gutted".

It is worth noting that two RV's were used when shooting Breaking Bad, with a fully operational vehicle helping with external and driving shots, while a soundstage helped bring the internal moments to life.

But in order to ensure the "gutted" RV accurately resembled the interior of the OG Breaking Bad mobile meth lab, Marsh told Variety she “religiously rewatched ‘Breaking Bad'” and took “8,000 screen grabs” in her quest to recreate its look for BCS.

So, next time you take in this glorious cameo run, do so with the knowledge of every item you see within being brand new, with every beaker, flask, and seat being sourced purely for the purpose of these scenes.
