![]() Now here was Walter White and with him the promise of yet another changing TV hero. In The Wire, Jim McNulty ultimately redeems himself and changes in three fundamental ways. ![]() ![]() I had only just completed the final episode of The Wire when I was introduced to Breaking Bad on DVD. Vince Gilligan, writer/creator did, damn well. "Chemistry is the study of … change." This brand spanking new TV character was talking about himself – only he didn't know. When Walter White delivered his speech about chemistry in the pilot episode of Breaking Bad, the screenwriting fan in me could sense we were in for a treat. Over the past ten years, I've had less time, I kicked out my TV set, yet I've watched more than ten times the amount of TV drama. I'm really a movie person and the only series I watched religiously before 2000 was Twin Peaks. It happened on TV, on the evening of May 24, 2009. Only this one didn't premiere in cinemas. I only know a handful of movies with anything near the emotional power of this movie moment.
