I love that you said "if he thinks humans are just components and chemistry then why feel guilty about killing someone." That's such an important insight - morality itself points towards the soul, towards God.

"Somebody croaked our snitch" basically means "somebody killed our informant". This implies Krazy-8 was an informant working with the cops. If you remember back in Episode 1, the DEA agents busted Jesse's operation because someone had told the cops about it ("snitched" in street lingo). Since Jesse managed to get away and wasn't arrested, Emilio assumed Jesse was the snitch and blamed it on him. This scene reveals it was actually Krazy-8 who was the snitch. This means that if Walter hadn't killed Krazy-8 in this episode, there's a high probability Krazy-8 would've told the cops everything about what Walter and Jesse were doing.

I love how you're into the story telling and cinematography this much already Sophie, you have no damn idea how masterful that aspect gets and if you've got this much nice things to say about it now where I watch and think 'damn Breaking Bad was actually kinda rough and not fully formed in S1', holy damn I can't wait

Yes, whether you believe it is God, the Universe or whatever, there is SOMETHING that makes us more than just a combination of chemicals. Something makes us human, and have a soul; and murder fractures the soul. That's NOT just something from Harry Potter, it's a TRUTH.

...and the show would have been a whole lot shorter, to the point of why would there even be a show...?

Walt was explaining the physical composition of a human as a chemist, not saying that's all there is to being human; materialism doesn't imply moral indifference. And Gretchen doesn't define what she means by "soul".
