It’s been twelve years (2008-2013) since the Breaking Bad finale gave us the final dose of methamphetamine and the clever business by a chemistry high school teacher, Walter White, aka Bryan Cranston. From being a humble high-school teacher to becoming Albuquerque’s most feared operator, Walter White’s slow burn became television legend.

Alongside Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Giancarlo Esposito, and Bob Odenkirk, Cranston turned a simple crime premise into a study of pride, power, and plain-old survival. In short, the show followed a simple word: cook meth, protect family, don’t get caught, until everything unravels.

However, every major antagonist in the show, from cartel bosses, crooked cops, rival dealers, to backstabbing partners, made the same grave error- they sized Walt up as a small-time threat and treated him accordingly. So, in this article, we are ranking all those villains who badly underestimated Walter White and...

But Quackity‘s not entering any of them. Instead, his first major project is a real-time translation app aimed at helping streamers reach international audiences without learning to speak other languages.

The Minecraft YouTuber who was once part of Dream Smp has re-emerged after nearly three years of radio silence on his home platform to drop Dababel, which can translate conversations in real-time, while copying the original speaker’s voice.

That’s what sets it apart from other real-time translation services. Plenty of other real-time translation apps have been around for years, so Dababel’s claim that it’s the “first ever universal text and voice translation tool” is a little bit dicey. But it does make itself unique with voice replication.

Two Breaking Bad stars have reunited 15 years after the episode that culminated with a bloody confrontation between their characters. Though a decade and a half has since passed, it would seem that now much has changed in the years since.

Dean Norris, who played DEA Agent Hank Schrader in the hit AMC drama, may have felt some déjà vu with the recent reunion. On Instagram, Norris shared a video on Feb. 2 of himself at the Swing Inn Cafe & BBQ, the restaurant he owns in Temecula, California. In the video, Norris acts concerned as he shares that one of the Salamanca brothers, played by Luis and Daniel Moncada in the series, was on his way to the establishment. Follow-up posts reveal that Luis Moncada, whose character was killed off by Norris' Hank, had arrived at the restaurant to seek "revenge." Dressing up for the occasion, Moncada even arrived in his Breaking Bad...

Sons of Anarchy features many characters who are both fan favorites but also irredeemable. Set in a world of crime and chaos, bad situations lead to even worse choices. Before anyone realizes, things are too far gone to be saved.

Shows with no redeemable characters have their own charm. They tend to tackle dark and forbidden topics like revenge, cannibalism and war. Many shows have irredeemable characters like Jax. They may have done one really bad thing, or they have done several over the course of the entire series. From House of the Dragon to Yellowjackets to Breaking Bad, these pitch-black and morally grey characters have caused fans to think about the damning choices they made.

Walter White Is Far Gone in Breaking Bad

As Breaking Bad's protagonist, Walter White is a sympathetic character, similar to Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy. However, throughout the course of the crime series,...

Heisenberg has returned with a special message for anyone thinking about littering. Bryan Cranston has appeared in a public service ad campaign as his Breaking Bad character to discourage people from littering in the state of New Mexico.

Per the NY Post, the new ads featuring Cranston were first unveiled in an arthouse movie theater in Santa Fe. The PSA is called "Breaking Bad Habits," and it features Cranston's Walter White rolling a barrel through the New Mexico desert, similar to how he'd done so in a memorable Breaking Bad scene. In the PSA, however, Walter is revealed to be collecting trash from the ground left behind by careless litterbugs. Squashing a paper cup from Los Polos Hermanos, the drug kingpin warns, "Keep litter out of my territory." The ad spot, shared online by New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, can be watched below.

Hank and Marie Schrader may have had two of the most tragic character arcs in Breaking Bad history, but actors Dean Norris and Betsy Brandt appear to be living happily ever after. In a new Instagram post by Norris, the 61-year-old actor included a photo with his former TV wife. The actors were in Portland, Oregon at a comic convention featuring a reunion of a number of Breaking Bad actors.

Norris and Brandt posed for a selfie while appearing at the Rose City Comic Con, eleven years after the final episode of Breaking Bad aired in 2013. "The Schraders" looked much happier than they ever did on the show, as Bryan Cranston's Walter White turned their lives upside down. "Reunited and it feels so good," Norris wrote in the post caption. "I love this woman. So good to hang in Portland."

Sometimes, TV shows introduce characters who seem fundamental to the story, but it becomes clear that the writers aren't sure what to do with them after their initial storyline. The result is often that the TV show will repeat the same story many times, focusing on one character. Maybe said character will eventually be written out of the show when the actor or writers have had enough, but they may be needed for one particular future storyline.

Some TV show love interests that were suddenly dropped and great female TV characters that deserved better ended up in these circumstances because creativity had run out concerning their arcs. Great TV shows should effectively use all their characters, at least providing a reason for them to be shelved for a while if screen time is limited. However, it is hard to feel like some shows did not waste characters when they are...

A Breaking Bad reunion took place over the weekend, and it included the actors who played the Schraders. Dean Norris and Betsy Brandt, who played Hank and Marie Schrader in the hit AMC series, were back together again in a new photo shared by Norris 11 years after the show ended.

On Instagram, Norris shared an image of himself joined by Brandt. The reunion came from both actors appearing in Portland for Rose City Comic-Con, joined by several other stars of the series. In the caption of his post, Norris said, "Reunited and it feels so good. I love this woman. So good to hang in Portland." The post can be viewed below.

Following the news that actor Mark Margolis had passed away, his friends and co-stars from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have been expressing their sorrow. Among them is Bryan Cranston, who has some very memorable scenes with Margolis in multiple seasons of Breaking Bad. More recently, Margolis reunited with Cranston for a special appearance in Your Honor, marking the veteran actor's final TV role.

"I am very saddened today to learn of a friend’s passing," Cranston said on Instagram. "Mark Margolis was a really good actor and a lovely human being. Fun and engaging off the set, and (in the case of Breaking Bad and Your Honor) intimidating and frightening on set. His quiet energy belied his mischievous nature and curious mind… And he loved sharing a good joke. I miss him already. Rest now, Mark and thank you for your friendship and your exceptional body of work.

The bell-ringing, hateful-faced Don Hector Salamanca had no shortage of enemies in Breaking Bad and its prequel Better Call Saul, but cast members and creatives from both series are remembering actor Mark Margolis fondly today. The stage and screen veteran died Thursday at 83, and tributes are all over social media from the likes of Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk, Peter Gould, Michael Mando and others.

“I am very saddened today to learn of a friend’s passing,” multiple Emmy-winning Breaking Bad star Cranston wrote on Instagram. “Mark Margolis was a really good actor and a lovely human being. Fun and engaging off the set (and in the case of Breaking Bad and Your Honor), intimidating and frightening on set. His quiet nature belied his mischievous nature and curious mind…and he loved sharing a good joke. I miss him already. Rest now, Mark and thank you for your friendship and your exceptional body of work.

Bryan Cranston, Darren Aronofsky, Dean Norris and Better Call Saul showrunner Peter Gould are among those remembering their late colleague, actor Mark Margolis, who died Thursday at the age of 83 after a short illness.

Margolis was a journeyman actor who delivered a memorable performance as the bell-ringing drug runner Hector Salamanca on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. His role in the former, particularly his shocking death in the season four finale “Face Off” in 2011, earned him an Emmy nomination for guest actor in a drama series.

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston remembered his late colleague on Instagram Friday, writing he was “very saddened” to learn of the death of his friend, whom he called both “a really good actor and a lovely human being.”

Esteemed character actor Mark Margolis passed away this week at the age of 83, leaving behind a long legacy of memorable film and TV characters. Though while you might remember him from "Scarface," "Oz," or "The Wrestler," it's more likely Margolis' face calls to mind one singularly unforgettable role: Hector Salamanca, the ruthless leader of the Salamanca crime family in the "Breaking Bad" universe.

As Hector, Margolis spent most of his time in a wheelchair with an oxygen cannula in his nose, the character communicating only via a small metal bell like the kind you'd find at a hotel front desk. Despite the fact that his performance was largely non-verbal, communicated through flared nostrils and angry, chiming taps, Margolis actually earned an Emmy nod for his turn as the character in 2012. The performer eventually lost the race for ​​Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series to "Justified" actor Jeremy Davies, but...

[The following story contains spoilers for Better Call Saul’s season six episode “Breaking Bad.”]

Besides Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould, nobody has written more episodes in the Breaking Bad universe than Thomas “Tom” Schnauz, and Monday night’s outing, the aptly titled “Breaking Bad,” ends the two-time Emmy winner’s tenure in spectacular fashion.

Schnauz, who first met Vince Gilligan at NYU film school, eventually worked alongside the future Breaking Bad creator and Better Call Saul co-creator on The X-Files and its own spinoff The Lone Gunmen. During a mid-2000s phone call, Schnauz’s joke about a mobile meth lab inspired Gilligan to create Breaking Bad, which Schnauz later joined in season three. His debut script was the Michelle MacLaren-directed “One Minute,” featuring Hank’s (Dean Norris) shootout with the Salamanca cousins (Daniel and Luis Moncada), and the barn-burner episode took Breaking Bad to a whole new level,...

After doing Gus’ (Giancarlo Esposito) bidding by opening Lalo’s (Tony Dalton) gate to a team of mercenaries, he essentially sealed his deadly fate, but nothing happened the way fans may have imagined. While Nacho managed to evade capture by the Salamanca twins (Daniel and Luis Moncada), he did turn himself into Gus’ team as they managed to transport him over the border. (Credit: Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television) Agreeing to die on condition that his father would be protected, Nacho promised to share any story Gus wished with the rest of the cartel’s key players. And while Nacho steers blame for the attack on Lalo away from Gus, a shard of...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched the third episode of “Better Call Saul” Season 6, titled “Rock and Hard Place.”

Like the title of Monday night’s episode says, Nacho Varga (Michael Mando) found himself between a rock and a hard place — Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) — and he paid the ultimate price. As one of the major “Better Call Saul” characters who doesn’t appear in “Breaking Bad,” fans have been wondering where Nacho would end up, and they finally have an answer. After playing the double agent for Gus against the Salamancas and aiding in the botched assassination of Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), Nacho was ready to meet a violent end at the hands of the Salamanca cartel, but instead he turned his gun on himself.

However, Nacho didn’t go down without a fight. He narrowly avoided the Salamancas’ hitmen,...

“Breaking Bad” scored seven nominations in Best Drama Supporting Actor during its run, but sadly none of them were for Dean Norris. He may finally get recognized for his portrayal of Hank Schrader this year in another category and via a similar path of that of another star in the “Breaking Bad”-verse.

Norris is contending in Best Drama Guest Actor after reprising Hank in two episodes of “Better Call Saul” this season — the first time we’ve seen Hank back in the flesh since his gut-wrenching death after that iconic line — “My name is Asac Schrader, and you can go f— yourself” in the iconic “Breaking Bad” episode “Ozymandias.” If he makes it in, it would not be unlike Michael McKean, who was snubbed in supporting in 2017 for the third and his final season of “Better Call Saul,” in which Chuck dies, but bagged a guest bid last year...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched “Bagman,” the eighth episode of of “Better Call Saul” Season 5.

Jimmy McGill’s descent into Saul Goodman has been on full display in Season 5 of AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” and on Monday’s episode, it took an even more dangerous turn.

Much to the concern of his now-wife Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) is becoming a “friend of the cartel,” as he represents the show’s current main villain — Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), currently behind bars on murder charges.

In Episode 8, “Bagman,” after Jimmy/Saul manages to trick the judge into setting bail (thanks to information from Mike Ehrmantraut), Lalo dispatches him to the desert. It’s supposed to be easy, Jimmy/Saul tells a worried Kim, and he even convinces Lalo to give him an extra $100,000 for his troubles.

Everybody dies … it’s a fact of life, and of fictional television. And nobody knows that better than David Ury, who once appeared on an episode of Breaking Bad only to get his head squashed by an Atm. So perhaps, it’s important to point out that everybody dies, but not necessarily in the same way.

Now, Ury has written a parody of children’s books titled Everybody Dies: A Children’s Book for Grown-Ups! And to promote the book’s upcoming release, Ury asked a few other Breaking Bad alums to join him for a quick video. Unfortunately, Charles Baker...
