20 Best Breaking Bad Moments

3. The Box Cutter Scene

Breaking Bad Box Cutters This is the absolute epitome of the word: drama. The fourth season's première, which sees Walter and Jesse captured and held hostage in the super lab, whilst Gustavo arrives to pass his judgement on them is teeming with so much threat and danger, it's addictive. Walt's long explanation for his actions in murdering Gale, much like a child trying to explain himself to his teacher, is juxtaposed against Gus' slow, progressive switch from his clothes into a protective suit, in preparation for bloody murder. Ultimately, Gus realises he needs to spare Walter for the best of his business, instead murdering his right hand guy, Victor, cutting his throat with the box cutter. Sprayed with blood and catatonic with shock, Jesse and Walt can only stare as Gus takes an equal amount of time to clean up, change back and leave. It's slow, stunning and invigorating. Breaking Bad at its very best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1L6jQ0Pfrw

Betting on being a brilliant brother to Bodhi since 2008 (-1 Asian Handicap). Find me @LiamJJohnson on Twitter where you might find some wonderful pearls of wisdom in a stout cocktail of profanity, football discussion and general musings. Or you might not. Depends how red my eyes are.
