Why is "Junior" in Breaking Bad all of a sudden now called Flynn? I thought he was dubbed Junior as he is also Walter White (Jr.). Is Flynn a middle name or second given name?
Answer
Walter Jr. starts calling himself "Flynn" in the Season 2 episode "Down". He does it to distance himself from his father.
From Wikipedia:
He grows apart from Walt due to his father's absences and bizarre behavior, being taught to drive by his friends and wanting to be called "Flynn."
From a 2009 interview with RJ Mitte (Walter Jr.):
Q: Walter Jr. gives himself a nickname this season. Any idea where "Flynn" came from?*
A: I know it was an old movie star -- Errol Flynn. It took me a while to figure out where it came from though. I asked Vince, "Flynn? Out of all the nicknames?" And he's like "Well, that's why I picked it."
