* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: PlayedStraight. Like you're really going to have your protagonist commit SuicideByCop in the first episode of the show. Much more so for people viewing the series in the years since its debut, since people who viewed it on the day it premiered might have imagined that the entire series was a HowWeGotHere story leading up to that point, but newer viewers will instantly work out from the fact that Walt has a full head of hair instead of his iconic bald-headed look that the episode won't be flashing back very far at all.

Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: Specifically the scene of Walt attacking the punks making fun of his son. On a first viewing? CatharsisFactor at its finest, as Walt grows a pair and takes on someone much bigger than him to defend his son. On rewatch? An early glimpse at the sadism Walt keeps hidden beneath the surface that gradually reveals itself across the series.
