Towards the end of the series federal agents are surrounding Skyler and her house, in order to protect her from Walt's possible return, so how is it that when he does decide to pay her a visit, he slips in un-noticed? He wasn't spotted driving across the country despite being the subject of a nationwide manhunt and having his face plastered all over television, he made contact with a gun-man, bought a garage-door opener, found Badger and Skinny Pete, and faked being a newspaper man with ease. Cops in that world are laughably poor. He's also able to call her and Walt Jr. repeatedly from public phones without anyone noticing or tracing his calls, or them making the police tighten their focus around Skyler? Some protection Skyler is offered, huh? Let's not even mention the fact that he's able to slip in to the Schwartz's home, on top of that. It sort of sounds like a dream situation, but we're not here to discuss alternative therories. So, there we have it. The world's most perfect television series did actually have its flaws. Though it is of course arguable how many of these flaws severely affect the plot, and we can definitely admit that we're just picking holes here, the flaws exist regardless. There are many more smaller moments throughout too, such as being able to see the crew in some scenes, continuity errors and scientific inconsistencies, we can forgive all of the above on the basis that it's the most addictive television show we've ever bore witness to.
