Mistakes that are hard to ignore in Breaking Bad

After Jesse kills Walt’s planned replacement, Gale Boetticher, the two plead their case to Gus that they’re his only hope of delivering the chemically pure meth Fring’s customers have come to expect, and doing so on time. Gus knows they’re right, but needs to reassert his dominance to prevent future disruptions and, ahem, insubordination. He decides to do this, like most bosses would, by dragging a box cutter across the throat of their sub-par potential alternative, Victor, and dropping his lifeless corpse at their feet. Even Mike, hardly a virgin to violence, is stunned at this display of monstrous brutality. When Gus drops the corpse, though, the stream of blood ominously inching towards Walt and Jesse vanishes between shots and becomes a pool of the stuff contained around Victor’s head. Where did it go? Nobody cleaned anything up until after Gus left. To be fair, we were also too unnerved by Gus’s cool, calm, order to “get back to work” to notice anything was out of place other than Walt and Jesse still being alive.
