Breaking Bad Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Cesium-137 Radioactive Bomb — The Cesium-137 Radioactive Bomb did not first appear in Season 2; the device was constructed and used much later in the series.

Cesium-137 Radioactive Bomb — The claim that the device was never fired or detonated is incorrect; it was detonated in the series finale 'Felina' to kill Jack Welker's gang.

The Train Heist Cash — Hank Schrader identified Walt as Heisenberg by finding Gale Boetticher's copy of 'Leaves of Grass' with an inscription, not a confession video in Walt's book collection.

Hank's Cousins Ambush — The LORE section states Marie gave Hank a handjob 'During his hospitalization'; canonically, this scene occurs at their home during recovery in Season 4 (Episode 2, 'Thirty-Eight Snub'), not while he was hospitalized.

Hank's Cousins Ambush — The entry attributes the testing of Hank's sensation/PTSD reaction to Season 4 ('Open House'); the specific scene where Marie tests his feeling below the waist occurs in 'Thirty-Eight Snub' (Season 4, Episode 2).

Hank Discovers Heisenberg — The entry incorrectly claims Walt's drunken comment triggered Hank's realization; canonically, Hank realized Walt was Heisenberg by reading Gale Boetticher's notebook dedication ('To my other favorite W.W.') without prompting.

Hank Discovers Heisenberg — The entry incorrectly states an informant's head was used as an explosive; canonically, Tortuga's severed head was sent in a package as a warning, not used as an explosive device.

Los Pollos Hermanos — The superlab was located beneath a laundromat (Lavandería Brillante), not a 'laundry/car wash facility'.

Los Pollos Hermanos — The claim that Twisters reported a '10% increase in revenue in 2013' is unverified and apocryphal.

Albuquerque, New Mexico — Minisode Count: The entry claims there were 10 total minisodes (5 pre-Season 2, 5 pre-Season 3). Canonically, only 5 official 'Breaking Bad: Original Minisodes' were released in early 2009 prior to Season 2; no second batch of 5 was officially released prior t

Albuquerque, New Mexico — Los Pollos Hermanos Existence: The entry refers to the 'actual Los Pollos Hermanos fast-food chain facade'. Los Pollos Hermanos is a fictional chain within the show's universe; while filmed at a real location (Twisters restaurant), there was no actual chain or

Hector Salamanca Apartment — The entry title 'Hector Salamanca Apartment' is factually incorrect; the location described and where Gus Fring died was the Albuquerque VA Medical Center Nursing Home, not Hector's apartment.

Hector Salamanca Apartment — Claim that Walter White triggered a remote detonation from his car outside is false; in canon, Hector Salamanca rang the nurse call bell which completed the circuit to trigger the bomb rigged to his wheelchair.

Ponderosa High School — [fable audit] invented school name; the show's school is J. P. Wynne High School
