Fans of the show on Reddit say that the site has been active since the night the episode aired. Although Pinkman ultimately remained on the entirety of the series, the reports that the show's writers' strike of to saved him are not entirely true.
There's a common story that Gilligan had planned to kill off Aaron Paul's character Jesse Pinkman on episode nine of the show's first season, but that the writers' strike caused the show to only run for seven episodes. As a result, Gilligan is said to have had time to reconsider killing off Jess e and ultimately keep him on the show. But, Gilligan said that isn't the case.
He said that by episode two, he, the producers, and the directors all knew Paul was a great actor to work with and that it "would be a huge, colossal mistake to kill off Jesse. In a Reddit AMA , Paul shared that he was knocked unconscious with a concussion and sent to the hospital as a result of a fight scene gone wrong.
Cranston told IndieWire that the season-two scene where Walt purposely watches Jesse's girlfriend, Jane, die even though he could save her was the hardest moment for him to film. He said he pictured Krysten Ritter Jane as his own daughter and couldn't control his emotions after the scene was cut. Once the director cut he recalled, "I'm a weeping mess.

To make all this driving worth your while, you can also drop by a couple of locations that feature in the show's pilot: just up the road from the school is the On your way back to Albuquerque from Rio Rancho, you can see a couple of locations which relate to the character of Gus Fring.

In front of the Rail Yards is another highly recognizable location from the show: This is the street corner where Combo gets shot by a young kid working for Gus' rival outfit, and where said rivals typically stake out in later episodes.
