Foreshadowing (aka Vince Gilligan, you crafty bastard!) [S1 - S4 Spoilers]

Basq

One thing this show has always done well is Vince (and the other writers) ability to incorporate in foreshadowing's / allusions to future scenes and plotlines which, while not obvious initially, become more apparent on either rewatches or analysis.

One of my favourites being selected season 2's episode titles directly referencing the final scene 'Seven Thirty-Seven Down Over ABQ'.

Another two recent one from Reddit.. both are from early to mid season 4:

There's a theory that the pink teddybear with the right half of it's face burned off (when it's floating in the swimming pool, sometime in season 2) is a foreshadowing of Gus' death.

Again from reddit.



and also this one, from Jane's room (pink teddy in the upper corner falling from the sky!)

Vince you bastard, you did it again.

Jane also says to her father in episode 3-11 "That was so sweet, I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit."

At this rate, Hank will solve the case using his extensive knowledge of minerals

Professional Griefer

Taken from Reddit.

In the scene showing Mike watching a movie, he is watching a movie called The Caine Mutiny.
It's a movie about how a tyrannical ship captain loses it the crew mutinies.
Could this be some major foreshadowing? Gilligan doesn't do anything on accident. What a ****ing genius. This is why I love this show, the sheer attention to detail.

The Scratcher

Dunno if this was picked up in the season 2 discussion way back when. (I'm a recent convert!) Just a thought I had when I noticed this painted in the episode bit by a dead bee that Walt gazes at twice.... Could this be the ultimate foreshadowing??



By which I mean Walt having to leave his family and disappear in order to protect them or else it could be a foreshadowing to Skylar requesting a divorce later on.

There's so many great ones, one I noticed recently myself in Season 2. After Hank's shootout with Tuco, they have a party for him at the office, and someone brings out a cake with a drawing of Hank on it.
They take a slice out the cake which perfectly separates his legs from the rest of his body.

The titles of the episodes in Season 2 which show the black and white flash forwards make out the sentence "737 Down Over ABQ". Still gives me chills reading that!
