* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Badger's characterization in this episode doesn't quite line up with how he's depicted later on. His stupidity and eagerness stay the same, but in this episode, he attacks Jesse when he won't let Badger try any of his meth, even shooting him with a crossbow - later episodes will make clear that supports his friends over getting high and showing a general dislike for violence.

** Walt initially refuses to get the chemo treatments to try and combat his cancer because of how the side-effects would render him a [[DontYouDarePityMe wretched pitiable state]] without a guarantee that they'd even work, resulting in him becoming little more than a "dead man, artificially alive, just marking time" until the cancer claimed him anyway. Walt [[Recap/BreakingBadS4E10Salud would later reveal]] that he has a similar memory of his father succumbing to Huntington's disease to Walt Jr, which [[FreudianExcuse informs many of his decisions]] not to die in such a wretched state and leaving memories of a hollow shell of a person behind for his family.
