   Bryan Cranston’s Hal from “Malcom in the Middle” makes appearance in “Breaking Bad” extra

“Breaking Bad” fans are still in mourning after the death of their favorite antihero but some comic relief will come their way with the DVD release of the series, which arrives in stores on November 26. One scene included in the extras, an alternate ending, has leaked online.

You can see it in full below. If you know Bryan Cranston from his “Malcom in the Middle” Hal days, this will be a double treat for you because, as it turns out, Walter White’s Heinseberg days were just a dream Hal had.

So, when he wakes up terrified, he tells his wife Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) about the ridiculous and absolutely scary dream he’s had, where he was some kind of “meth dealer” who was related to a DEA agent who looked “like that guy from ‘The Shield’,” and was always in the company of a man-child.

He (Jesse Pinkman, you guessed it) was “a waif, a man-child, a kid who always looked like he was wearing his older brother’s clothes [and used] the B-word” in phrases like “Yay science B-word!” and “Come here B-word!”

“The only thing that made sense in the dream is that I still walked around in my underwear,” Hal says sobbing.

And, while the entire skit is fun, you have to wait until the end for the twist, because it will play right into those theories that say that the “Breaking Bad” finale was nothing but Walter’s dream.
