Michael Slovis, who worked on more than 50 Breaking Bad episodes as either director or cinematographer, was tasked with directing the first two episodes of Game of Thrones Season 5. So he read all the books, then marathoned the entire series — twice. "When we worked on Breaking Bad, everybody would come to work and talk about Game of Thrones," he says. "And when I worked on Game of Thrones, even a year and a half after it was canceled, everybody ... wanted to know questions about Breaking Bad. There is a tremendous mutual admiration society between the two camps and I believe there is between David (Benioff), Dan (Weiss), and Vince (Gilligan) as well."
