1. Walter's Sniper Scam (Season 5, Episode 16)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-AD77EtOmA While much of what happened in the series finale was fairly predictable, this particular scene was one plot twist that few people saw coming. After seeing his former partner Elliot and his wife Gretchen blasting him on tv in the previous episode, Walt seemed to be ready to kill both of them. Instead, they become a vehicle for his (semi-) redemption. His menacing act when he enters their home is at once meticulously planned and deeply desperate. But Elliot and Gretchen are far too pants-crappingly scared to notice that the lasers are moving just a little too erratically for them to be controlled by professional assassins. Walt's most interesting character trait has always been his ability to outsmart his adversaries, and this scene doesn't disappoint us. This is by no means a definitive list of all Breaking Bad's greatest moments. Most fans, for example, would probably argue that the scene where Walt and Walt Jr. get new cars should be on here, along with at least a dozen more moments (there are also a few with Huell and Saul that immediately come to mind). However, these were all sequences that true fans of the series are very unlikely to forget just the same. What other scenes would you have liked to see on this list?
