Sniffing around for a blooper
I was watching a series today called The DaVinci Inquest (filmed in Canada a couple years ago) and this one episode showed that someone was cooking meth from a hotel room and they had run a pipe to the bathroom vent THINKING the fumes would just drift away into the air but the fumes actually went into the next room and killed an innocent couple.
So when DaVinci the coroner came onto the scene he hurridly notified the manager and then he himself went door to door making sure everyone got out and away from the building immediately. Then he called the drug team to the scene. There was a slight indication that the incident had actually happened a day or two before
Now my question is this: Seeing as how so far Walt and Jesse have cooked in that RV at least three
times, even though they wore home made Hazmat type suits it looked to me like the windows were shut and the door TO the RV was shut as well alot of times.
Plus in a recent episode, they were both sweating it out IN the RV while desperate to try to figure out how to get out of their situation.
So since the smell alone FROM meth would seem to be dangerous and (from what little I have seen from other cop shows) hangs around in closed places, shouldn't Walt and jesse be showing some kind of effects from the little bit of time they have been exposed to the residue from cooking 38 pounds worth?
I think this would qualify as a blooper (and if so, maybe the producers could be sure to show some kind of venting system (for accuracy's sake) in future episodes since there are times in certain tv shows where the blooper is so bad that there is a chance the show is considered to have "jumped the shark"
Anyone else think this is a blooper?
Or am I way off base and just missed a short scene or minute of verbal interchange that explained it all to the viewer.










I forgot--
This is also the reason in the first season Walt was seen without pants. He did not want to take the smell home with him.
I guess you also forgot Episode 209 "Four Days Out" where the beautiful NM desert and cloudless sky provide a backdrop for that rust bucket RV spewing thick blue smoke out of the top. That is not a blooper. A blooper is when they invent a new element (Ch) in MiChael Slovis' name because he doesn't have a real element in his name. Give him 2 single lettle symbols. I am probably the only one bothered by this.
Okay I missed or forgot that
Thanks
I agree with yuo about nagging little stuff like that, that tend to annoy you while trying to get into the show
For me:
I really, really can't stand the way once a show becomes a hit there's suddenly this influx of Executive Producers
Co-Producers
Producers
Line producers
etc etc etc before we get to the heart of the show...
Writer and Director
It's as if SOME of those credits are just a way for someone's nephew to get a screen credit attached to a hit series. I mean, if anyone really wants to look you up they can check Internet Movie Data Base-- other than that I would much prefer to watch the show thanks so much
Sometimes I get so caught up counting (the record is 12 various producers before the writing credit) I miss alot of dialogue and it ruins the first fifteen minutes of the show for me. (Drives my wife nuts as I count of each name as it appears)
I don't look at it like a blooper, as they are using plenty of ventilator fans and also wearing a ton of protective gear, which includes suits and masks. It in it's own way is showing the effects of cooking on them, by disrupting their life styles. Look at where Jesse is at now? And Walts attitude is completely changing.....due to the rushes he gets from being "Heisenburg". Just my opinion. I am a recovering addict....and this show does a pretty good job of hitting the nail on the head in most aspects....I LOVE IT!!!
Walt spent several days needlessly fixing the floor of his house. When confronted about it, he replies "Skylar, there's ROT!!!"
Sounds to me like he is suffering some ill effects.
the only results from cooking meth in the RV would be a smell and everything metal would be rusted. how ever the gasing process is bad to inhale, but didnt you notice the big fans that were in the RV? there were at least 2 of them that I can remember seeing.
Mad_in_Sa...isn't the element used in that name just C? I don't think they meant for it to be Ch...
tuttle300. Not a blooper. Plenty of fans, smoke coming out of the top of the RV, protective gear, & of course the infamous 5 bullet holes in the door! :)
Mad_in_Sa: The Ch in Michael Slovis' name. Now that's a blooper, but nothing to get upset about, unless you are an obssesive compulsive. Then you might have an issue. :I'm fasinated with so many people who try and find errors in this brilliant show. What happened with just enjoying the magnificent writing/acting/editing/music/& cinematography. Tuttle, I'm suprised your wife hasn't hit you over the head with a frying pan yet. Come on, counting the # of producers. Wow!! I'm not even sure what to think about that. :) Hey I have good news though, only two more shows, so you can take the rest of the year off and RELAX!!! :)
Oh.....and then we have to wait for another season to start!! It just kills me!!!
@ noah
Well, yes, I know that counting producer credits can be considered anal to most folks. But being a film buff , I always check out the credits for the writer and director (which should come right away- not fifteen minutes into the episode)
Like there was one Breaking Bad episode where I noticed the director was Charles Haid, who was Officer Renko in the old Hill Street Blues series and I know he has been working on being a director so it was an added surprise for me to see his name
It's almost as bad as try to enjoy something on TBS or TNT and while your watching they pop these little people on the screen on the bottom of the picture advertizing their show
I mean it's only for a minute- but it's a distraction (to me)
But thats how much I love BB-- I want to be in the show and escape my own day to day cares and worries -- not be distracted reading names that keep popping on the screen while I'm trying to enjoy the show
Just tell me who wrote it, who directed it, and get out of the way.
But again-- thats my own little idiosyncracy
“Better Call Saul” Blooper:
In the interrogation room Saul , while talking to Badger, takes his pen out of his pocket clicks it and places it on table… seconds later he takes the same pen out of the same pocket again.
“Grilled” Blooper:
During Tuco/Hank gunfight Tuco fires several rounds into hanks car door … seconds later we see the other side of the door and there are no bullet holes ! Rounds from an assault rifle , in any rounds 9mm or above , will go through the door like a hot knife through butter.
Can't remember the episode, but Jane is standing in Jesse's kitchen holding a popsicle. The popsicle gets smaller and then larger as she talks.
