Breaking Bad - The Ultimate...

Trivia Hub

BREAKING BAD
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Breaking Bad is a critically acclaimed American crime drama created by Vince Gilligan, following Walter White, a chemistry teacher who turns to making meth to secure his family's future after a cancer diagnosis. The show, set in Albuquerque, explores themes of morality, family, and the consequences of choices. Bryan Cranston's portrayal of Walter earned widespread praise, as did the show's accurate depiction of chemistry and meth production. The series also includes symbolism, like the pink teddy bear, and its use of color to enhance storytelling. Breaking Bad has become one of the most acclaimed television shows of all time, spawning a franchise that includes Better Call Saul and El Camino.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The show's title, "Breaking Bad," is a Southern colloquialism that means "raising hell". However, it also has a broader meaning, which can mean to "go wild" or "defy authority".
Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, had previously worked on the science fiction series The X-Files. He wanted to create a series where the protagonist becomes the antagonist, going from "Mr. Chips into Scarface".
The initial concept for Breaking Bad was that the main characters would cook meth in an RV and drive around the country to make money. This concept came about when Gilligan was joking with a fellow X-Files writer about being unemployed.
The show was initially set to be filmed in Riverside, California, but it was moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico because of the financial incentives. The story setting was then changed to match the production's location.

A Journey With Orvis

Mose Tuzik Mosley

In the late summer of 2022, the author finds his next traveling companion in the hot and dusty backyard of an antique shop on the backroads of Fossil, Oregon. The companion, Orvis, is an imaginary dog. True soulmates, they inspire one another to take a journey that neither could take alone, a journey of humor and forbearance, personal discovery, and egregious self-sacrifice. Together they break new ground in the annals of travel writing, finding the best and the worst of the places they visit, but always maintaining their strong opinions and sense of humor. 
A Journey With Orvis is not really about the places they travel (from Mexico City to Istanbul, Zagreb to Paris, London to Dublin), but is more about the ‘who’ and ‘why’ of traveling itself. It helps that they travel lightly with only a small carry-on and open minds. It helps even more that one of them is imaginary.  
By the end of the journey, it could be either one.

The View From Rat Lake

John Gierach

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
 
 
 
"In the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: 'remote trout lake,' 'fish up to thirteen pounds,' 'the place the guides fish on their days off,'" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best—explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. The View from Rat Lake deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip.
