The creators of "Breaking Bad" prided themselves on keeping the show as true to science as possible but you had to know some things just couldn't be true to life. Slate has come up with a list of 10 things that the show didn't get right (http://slate.me/1h8FoeI) including the fact that Heisenberg-grade meth wouldn't be blue and would probably be clear or yellow-ish. Hydrofluoric acid also isn't strong enough to eat through a bathtub, as depicted in the show's second episode when Walt and Jesse try to get rid of the bodies of their first two victims.

Slate also put together a video (http://slate.me/15zP426) depicting just how rough of a ride poor Jesse has had throughout the course of the "Breaking Bad" story. This is one sad montage to the tune of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts." And yet — sorry, Jesse — it's also pretty funny at times.

A YouTuber put together a "Breaking Bad" highlight reel backed by Green Day's "Good Riddance" (http://bit.ly/1h8HxqB) with clips of the cast and crew goofing around on set and some of the show's more memorable moments.

"Friday Night Lights" fans will get a kick out of Funny or Die's take (http://bit.ly/1bhlT6v) on how the lovable nice guy Landry Clarke (played by Jesse Plemons) somehow morphed into cold-blooded killer Todd Alquist.

And here's a list that no two "Breaking Bad" fans could fully agree on. Entertainment Weekly has ranked every episode of the series leading up the finale from worst to best (http://bit.ly/15zTGoJ). The magazine's writers chose one of the most recent episodes, "Rabid Dog," as the very worst, although they concede that "the worst episode of 'Breaking Bad' is still pretty, pretty good." As for the best? No, it wasn't the classic "Face Off," which saw Walt take care of Gustavo Fring (that was second-best on the list). EW chose "4 Days Out," the ninth episode from the second season. That was the episode that saw Walt and Jesse undergo a marathon cook session in the desert before realizing their RV had run out of battery power, leaving them stranded in the killer heat.
