Facts, bitch! Also spoilers.
AMC / Robin Edds / BuzzFeed
1. After watching Season 5, Episode 14 — "Ozymandias" — George R.R. Martin called Walter White a bigger monster than anyone in Game of Thrones and vowed to "do something about that" in his next book. Eek.
2. Aaron Paul has never had any acting classes. During a Reddit AMA he said: "I always just thought, 'Hey, pretend like you're being someone else and that's all there is to it.'"
3. Due to the success of the show, some drug dealers have actually started adding blue dye to their crystal meth in an effort to "brand" their product.
4. Laura Fraser — the actress who plays Lydia Rodarte-Quayle — is, in fact, Scottish. You can hear her talking about Season 5 (in her real accent) here.
5. Nearly two decades before landing the role of Walter White, Bryan Cranston was in Power Rangers! Below you can hear him as the voice of the evil Twin Man.
6. And that's not his only link with the show. He found out years later that the Blue Ranger — real name Billy Cranston — was named after him. Kinda had to be the blue one, right?
7. If it weren't for the 2007–08 writers' strike, show creator Vince Gilligan and the other writers were planning to kill off Jesse in Episode 9 of the first season. Thanks to the strike this episode never happened, and it was decided that Jesse was much too valuable a character to lose. Yeah, bitch!
8. Gilligan wanted the terrifyingly brilliant Tuco to be the bad guy for all of Season 2, but the actor — Raymond Cruz — landed a major role in The Closer and was therefore unavailable.
9. Forced to come up with a new villain they introduced the anti-Tuco, Gus Fring.
10. On the final day of filming for Season 5, Bryan Cranston got a Breaking Bad tattoo on the inside of his finger.
