"Breaking Bad" - Season 4, Episode 6, 'Cornered'

Left: A prominent billboard on Broadway Blvd. SE, July 27, 2010.



Episode 6 featured several new locations. "OldeSaultie" has already posted these on his map for Season 4.

The "Tucker! Tucker!" scene was located at 1400 San Jose Avenue SE, in the Kirtland Community. That scene was freaky and strange - a real favorite! I love it!

Skyler's flight to Four Corners represents the first time the main action of the show has left the state of New Mexico. Characteristically, that flight was very tentative, leaving the state by only a few feet. Nevertheless, what a place for a quandary!

Just like the Superlab represents a dungeon, New Mexico represents a sort of trap or prison too. In my "Breaking Bad" post Number Two, I wrote that "Albuquerque tends to attract impractical dreamers. ... People who don't understand why their plans never worked out." And the way you know you are a true New Mexican is that claustrophobic trapped feeling you get just by living there. Skyler, it's time to flee to Denver! Skyler! Skyler, do you hear me?

It's been years since I've been to Four Corners, and so I'm assuming that the brief vista shown represents the area in the immediate vicinity: e.g., the descent into the valley of the San Juan River, which runs nearby.

The refrigerator truck reprise occurred at exactly the same place the other refrigerator truck hit occurred, on Los Picaros Drive, SE.

Loyola's Family Restaurant on Central Avenue was also used, to great effect.
