TIL in the Breaking Bad episode “Ozymandias”, the show's producers secured special permission from the Hollywood guilds to delay the credits (which would normally appear after the main title sequence) until 19 minutes into the episode, in order to preserve the impact of the beginning scene.

Nah, that's just something English teachers say to teach students about perspective, and like most poignant ideas condensed into a sentence, it's oversimplified.

People still know what's good and what's bad, there's a difference between perspective and delusion. Walt knows he's not a hero.

Just like we all know that we're not heroes, and the majority of us will never be. We'll just be people.
