Talk:List of characters in the Breaking Bad franchise

Krazy8

The article lists hist cause of death as being phosphine gas whereas I am almost certain that Walter used Phosgene gas... Different sources list both phosphine and phosgene and its hard to be certain from the audio but Hank mentions earlier that "Meth labs are nasty on a good day, mix that shit wrong and you've got mustard gas" which Walter then corrects to phosgene / phosphine. Phosgene like mustard gas was used as a chemical weapon, explaining Hanks confusion. Troll-Life (talk) 13:14, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

I might be wrong, the official subtitles appear to say Phosphine... Troll-Life (talk) 13:22, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Hector Salamanca - a Don?

The article mentions that Hector Salamanca was an elderly Don. Is that true? My understanding was that he was a heavy for the former Don, but not a don himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.100.164 (talk) 04:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Reference to Asperger's Syndrome in Gale Boetticher

I have removed the statement regarding Gale Boetticher's alleged Asperger's Syndrome. This statement is unsupported and almost certainly the result of original research.

Reference to Reservoir Dogs

I've removed the passage claiming, that the names "White" and "Pinkman" are hommages to Reservoir Dogs, because this has not been backed up by sources coming from the show's creators. Instead the only source is just by some guy who is not, nor has he ever been involved in the creative process of Breaking Bad. Bankslooserm (talk) 23:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

@The guy who keeps adding the Reservoir Dogs reference again and again. Why don't you explain yourself here? Until proven otherwise (i.e. by a source from within the show) any vague name connection has to be assumed as a coincidence. No matter what some guy from some paper says. Especially, since Jesse isn't even named Pink or called Mr. Pink once, which makes it even more vague. If that guy also presumes, that Tortuga is a nod to the Ninja Turtles, and Saul Goodman is a reference to John Goodman, do we have to include that too? No, because it would be stupid unless confirmed by the creators. Cloudbrief243 (talk) 20:48, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Should Wendy be added? She's been in the show for more episodes than some of the secondary and minor characters already listed on the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.234.227.44 (talk) 18:50, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

please add Wendy!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.232.126.41 (talk) 18:40, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Walter and Jess need their own pages, someone get on that. -A fan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.140.99 (talk) 19:05, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Removed the one-time characters section as none of those characters--the cop who arrested Badger, the janitor, et al. were very integral to the storyline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.223.241 (talk) 17:32, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Changed a typo in the Gale section of Secondary Characters. Changed "Gus begs for his life" which should be "Gale begs for his life." --kiyote —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.165.1.121 (talk) 23:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Jesse should be above Skyler in the character list, he is the second main character, Skyler isn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.45.101 (talk) 20:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Tuco Salamanca

Last two sentences are garbled. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.35.48.12 (talk) 18:42, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Gustavo Fring

I don't know why we're engaging in idle speculation on the character page about possible plot twists. Gus walked out of the room after the explosion, but the blast wave ripped the right half of his face off including the eyball down to the socket, and half the mandible. He most likely has severe blunt force trauma to the brain from the compression wave, and was probably dead before he even knew it. Acute subdural hematoma anyone? Epidural hematoma? Cerebral contusion? Intraventricular hemorrhage? Intracranial hemorrhage? Subarachnoid hemorrhage? Concussion? There's also the possibility of cerebral laceration, especially in the vicinity of the orbitofrontal cortex, a likely potentiality because of the eyeball and optic nerve being ripped out. Gus Fring is dead, they announced three people killed on the radio, and television. Walter's character likes fulminated mercury, as we saw in Tuco's office, and he knows the blast radii for something like that. Plus the oxygen tank on the back of Hector's wheelchair would tend to increase the intensity of the blast because of the available oxygen contributing to the explosion reaction. So unless the senile old woman in the room next to Hector was killed accidentally by the oxygen tank blowing up and taking her out, I think it's pretty safe to say Gus is dead. We wouldn't even be able to find out until next January if that's even the case. Stentor7 (talk) 03:43, 10 October 2011 (UTC) Stentor7

Gus is definately dead, one of the shows mock websites has an in memory of tribute at the bottom of the page. (http://www.madrigalelectromotive.com/) The same website also suggests a relationship between Saul Goodman and the doctor that saved Gus and Mike in Mexico Troll-Life (talk) 14:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

WP:NOTPLOT

Too much of this page is a plot description, in direct violation of what Wikipedia is not. I will come back and try to trim this later. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:31, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I've just removed the plot descriptions in three of the characters, boiling their sections down to the characters' main attributes and interesting facts about them. Thanks for suggesting this. I think it improves the page a lot, for both hard-core fans and people catching up with the series. Keep at it. —Ben Kovitz (talk) 11:46, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Outdated

More than a few characters are described from a mid-series perspective. 74.119.161.8 (talk) 03:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
