Breaking Bad hidden foreshadowing: such a bad arse show

I just caught up on BCS and decided to do a Breaking Bad rewatch. Caught a little foreshadowing that I had missed on previous viewings. Sorry if it's been discussed before:
In 201, when Jesse and Walt are sitting in the car after their deal with Tuco, Walt runs some numbers in his head about how much he needs to make to have his family be financially set. He adds everything up and it comes to $737k. The 737 is the type of plane involved in the crash in the season 2 finale.
I just looked and the name of the episode is "Seven Thirty-Seven".
Now I feel kinda stupid for not noticing this before

If you want to be even more freaked out, check Out the episode titles for episodes 1, 4, 10, and 13.

Those are also the only episodes in S2 that have the flash-forward black & white scenes at the beginning.

I keep waiting for Kim to show up somewhere in those, either still in his life or somewhere that the vacuum cleaner repairman sent her separately.

Never knew a lot of that.
that's interesting stuff. it's funny because VG defines breaking bad as "raising hell". dudes on here that try to be a lot smarter than they really are have started using the phrase when talking about a character who reaches a moment where there is no turning back.

I mean it seems spelled out when you look back, but there’s no way anyone watching in real time would have been able to deduce anything like that from the episode titles. There is no pattern between those numbers. You could probably find random meaning in other episode titles. I dont get why this is freaky in the least.

Is there really a crazy difference in those usages?
We raised hell
We raised so much hell, we couldn’t turn back.
- I originally pitched it to the studio with one line," says Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad. "I told them: 'This is a story about a man who transforms himself from Mr Chips into Scarface.
It’s totally acceptable to use the phrase as a turning point for a character when they turn towards immorality. It’s funny dudes on here try to be a lot smarter than they really are by insisting a term only can be used the same way one dude used it.

Bryan Cranston was so good at being Walter White.
He made you buy Walter's fear, anger and his genius. May be my favorite portrayal of a character in all of cinema history.
The experience of that show was so rewarding and I'm forever grateful that I got to experience it.
It's like an album in music, each season is a new record and the episodes are the tracks. And its is a band that never put out a bad record.
That show changes lives as far as television viewing goes imo. Changes expectations and ups them.

Kind of funny that the most controversial episode of the series is named “Fly”

The pattern is the flash forwards / flash backs all happened in those episodes.

I forget what episode/season but Walter is losing Jesse to his new girlfriend and her kid.
The episode ends with a Walter contemplating his next move and he spins the gun laying flat on the table and the credits roll. I'm thinking he's thinking about shooting Jesse.
When I re-binged the series, when the gun stopped spinning, it was pointing at Walter's backyard potted ricin plant.

The amount of thought that and foresight put into the writing to include nuggets like this is really awesome. On top of telling a gripping story, they included so much that can be picked up on in multiple viewings.
My high school age brother on his first watch just got to a real hook point. I've been telling him that the plot just continually accelerates until it reaches breakneck speed. I think he gets it now.

That connection is really a stretch and not a big deal as 737s until recently were the most common plane in the world.

It could've been done on purpose but it's not a big deal. Walt saying he needs 737K and then episodes later a 737 crashes...
So?
