They could have kept the order at 13, but Vince Giliigan was not willing to add zombies to the storyline.

He may also give that guy a chance to "buy back" his baseball cards.

FWIW, he left enough air in the bag that it was floating, he didn't immerse it.

The fact that he seemed to have put the couch back was suspicious. On top of being squirrely about the amount of cash and the fact that his place was thoroughly tossed but common burglary items were not taken, says he's hiding something.

They added something not in the film: NZT is ultimately lethal unless… and the unless is addressed in the pilot and serves an important role in the set up of the show.

I liked the fact that Meemaw was basically unlikable (no, overprotecting Sheldon was not redemptive IMHO). Didn't like that she was a role model for staying married to an abusive jerk (they didn't say abusive, but they what they said could be seen as euphemistic for that).

Not that it helps, but it's not a blade in there. It's just a piece of metal that spins really fast.

My impression is that when she's heavy-handed, she's showing weakness or anxiety, and that's the writer's intent.
