Breaking Bad season finale on Sunday!

So excited for it.  It's gonna be awesome!  

I was reading this today, detailing some of the chemistry behind the process Walter uses to make the meth: https://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/meth.louisfreeh.html

If you've taken any o-chem classes in college, you should be able to understand most of it!  I think some of my friends told me a while back that one of their teachers spent an entire class teaching multiple ways on how to make some drug (meth, or something of that sort).  I think some chemical/biological engineers have to make drugs in their lab classes and stuff.  The science is 99 percent stuff they teach in the introductory class.  The rest is just like following a recipe...

It is, however, a very dangerous process, and just like the show, you're going to get caught.  Drugs are basically a death ticket, regardless of whether you use them or manufacture them.  If you don't control the temperature for some of the reactions, BOOM.  If you don't control the timing, a side-reaction happens and you're screwed.  Some of those reagents will even react with the CO2 in the air.

But in any case, the show is awesome and you should watch it (cough Wonko cough) because it's awesome.

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't watch this show lol.

Wonko doesn't watch it lol

Hence the disinterested  


I'm the only person at work who doesn't watch it.  They're always over there like "OMG DID YOU SEE WHEN/I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT/WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL/I HOPE THEY DON'T/I LITERALLY COULDN'T BREATHE THE WHOLE TIME/I THINK I NEARLY DIED SEVEN TIMES"

And I'm still like 

I heard the season finale was just the main guy eating KitKats for a 40 minutes but when he got to the last one it snapped wrong and fell on the floor, to which he said "Wow, bad break..".
