4. The Writers Strike Did Have An Effect On The Show…
While the writers strike might not have saved Jesse Pinkman as fans originally thought, it did have another effect on the show…
The writers strike…
It turns out that season one of Breaking Bad was shortened as a result of the strike!

While this might sound like a bad thing, the shortening of the series is something Gilligan himself is thankful for.
A ripple effect…
The two episodes the creator was forced to cut out would have shown Walter’s transformation into Heisenberg happen at a quicker (and more disturbing) pace.

Gilligan shared:
”We threw those out completely and we’re starting somewhere else. We’re building more slowly than we otherwise would have built.”
Vince Gilligan…
The star continued by saying:
”I think that’s really good, because I know we’ve all had our favorite shows that were really interesting up to a certain point, but maybe they just go too far, and then there’s no going back from it.”
