Hey Fans!
Big news has breached the media in the last couple days. Although not a laughing matter by any means, this is far too odd to not address on a Breaking Bad blog. This is due to the oddly linear topic compared to that of Breaking Bad's overall plot.
On December 4rth, it was released that a Professor at both Boston University and Stuffolk University had been charged for drug related actions. Irina Kristy taught math lectures at both universities, with up to three classes each semester. Being 74 years of age and working this much, Irina was a very active member of two universities and now shocking both campuses and the world with her charges.
Accused of running a meth lab in a second story apartment with her 32 year old son, Grigory Genkin, the two cooked their own meth. Chillingly close to the plot of Breaking Bad, right? Although not the same type of teacher, and at a different educational level as our Walter White, this is all to direct. Not much information has been released about the charges, but when more is released I am sure there will be many questions for her related to the show. In terms of inspiration or drive, it is hard not to wonder if Irina Kristy had been affected by the tones displayed in the plot of AMC's hit show. If they are disconnected, and Kristy had not ever seen the show, I am sure she was very upset when the show's plot had been announced. Once protected by image, now teachers were noticed to have intellectual capabilities for such processes.
I plan to stay up to date on this case, and I plan to keep you updated too. So keep tuned!
Thanks again!
Tommy.
