Did you know a lot of Breaking Bad’s details came from pure coincidence? And yet they made something great

Imagine that one of the greatest TV shows in history, Breaking Bad, had many details that were pure accidents.. for example, the character Jesse was supposed to die in season 1 but people loved him so he stayed. Saul was only meant to appear in 3 episodes, but Vince Gilligan felt he needed Saul in the show to ease some of the gloom, so the character continued. And when Bob Odenkirk (who plays Saul) couldn’t make it one shooting day, they had to add another character as if “Saul Goodman” sold him — that appearance was the first for Mike, and Mike then continued in the series even though his role was originally intended to be small. And in the end, after all that, we get a scene like this between (a character that wasn’t supposed to exist) — like Mike — and Walter White with that level of greatness. So do you see this as sheer luck and coincidence, or is this true creativity and art?
