Fandoms I don't Know: Breaking Bad

[terajk]

(by someone who has never seen it and doesn't know how to make those fancy Tumblr-esque slideshow things)


The dad from Malcolm in the Middle



is actually this dude



who's diagnosed with cancer and decides to build a meth lab.


(Dude, could you look a little more stoned? I don't think those cops know I'm your dealer.)

And maybe moonlights for the government containing biological weapons Uncle Sam lost track of rare and deadly diseases?



And when the feds suspect him of having a meth lab he's like, "Okay, but I know where you keep your airborne botulism." Which is why he hasn't been caught for, like, five seasons.

His son is a PWD too and likes BREAKFAST!



Also, there's this douchebag.



I don't know if his character is a douchebag or if he's just one in real life, but he says ableist and misogynistic crap in episode commentaries.

(The breakfast-loving son gives Douchebag Guy some serious side-eye:)



There was a video game, I guess?



And then there's this:



THE END

This is true! And he's also played by a PWD, which is a rare novelty in tv.

I thought I read that somewhere! (He is pretty handsome, too!)

And even better, he's written as having a disability, not being The Son Who Has A Disability, if that makes any sense.

There are a couple of moments in early eps where they get clunky about it, but then after that they're just writing about this snotty teenage kid who wants to be closer to his dad and would also like a really cool car for his birthday and by the way also has cerebral palsy.
