When the opening credits begin after the first commercial break, the names of the first three actors appear in the normal sequence with normal timing. At the moment when the name Dean Norris would normally appear, the camera shows Walt looking at his own reflection in the rear view mirror. The name does not appear, and Walt turns the mirror to the side. The camera focuses in on the mirror's new reflection, an empty spot in the New Mexican desert. Walt then pauses for several moments. Finally, as Walt begins to move on, the name Dean Norris appears on the screen.
The opening credits do not begin until 18 minutes into this episode after the first act is over.
