And when [creator Vince Gilligan] instructed me he needed to alter this character from good to dangerous, utterly, we notice that this has by no means occurred earlier than. So what Vince Gilligan did was change the assemble of what was potential in collection tv. He modified it. It was all about stasis earlier than.
