Jane’s dad accidentally said “Jane” instead of “Juliet”, then said “disregard”, thus nullifying the direction he just gave. That was why the planes crashed into each other. So sad.
Can anyone confirm this? First time I've heard it
@@ShakenPig 23:08
@@SovermanandVioboy thx
@@ShakenPig yeah air traffic controllers use what's called the Phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc.) And "J" is Juliet in the Phonetic Alphabet but Don says "Jane" followed by "disregard" meaning disregard the message although Walt is right when talking to Jesse, there were definetly collision radars malfunctioning on Wayfarer as well, the pilots should have noticed the other plane before the crash.
@@poggerwhite yeah but realistically he would have said disregard and fixed the mistake by saying juliet
13:37 Notice how while the DEA are hanging up photos of potential suspects, there is a photograph of Walt sitting right there on the desk smiling at them. Just the small details and little ironies in this show are so amazing.
Walt under the "Wanted" sign in the opening shot is the greatest of 'em all!
Yeah and when he picked up the bucket the picture was right where the guy with the x photo
Good catch!!!!!!! 💜💜💜
During the moment that Jane's dad crashed the planes, if you rewatch it, he accidentally says the word 'Jane' as part of the control and blanks out from there 💖
I didn't see that first time I watched it but watching this reaction I saw it this time!
He's not forced to say Jane, he makes a mistake while reading out JM021 and says "Jane Mike" instead of the correct call "Juliett Mike". He notices it immediately and says "Disregard". Clearly shows that he's still distracted though and shouldn't be back to work.
@@jQku Thankyou for that correction, That makes alot of sense! I've edited my comment.
Yep.
He mixes it with "Juliet" bc the show is nodding to viewing Jesse and Jane as a kind of Romeo and Juliet, who are two young lovers who experience a tragic ending involving poison and the drugs are the poison..
Aaron Paul is such a good actor. He broke my heart this episode.
ZombieMom73 more memorable performances from him down the pipeline. Can’t wait.
@@CakeBevens Oh yes! But this episode was a great example of his talent.
ZombieMom73 This was the part where Jesse’s serious acting skills showed. I cried really hard
The digital animal breakdown scene is phenomenal as well
:(
TRIVIA: ( It was right before our eyes the whole time 🤔)

*cold opens with the pink stuffed bear
🔗📱🛫📱🛬📱🔗
Yes, the episodes that starts with black and white. So cool!!
yup, i never knew notice it till years later someone pointed that out to me, i was like O you sneaky people making breaking bad, another reason to love the show
Basically every eepisode where the -teddy bear- stuffed animal appeared in. Real clever writing/directing.
I didn’t type this quick enough 😂😂
They tweeted about that a while ago ;)
Great performance in this episode by John DeLancie (Jane's dad), who is probably best known for playing Q in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The part where he sees the "Apology Girl" drawing, and assumes it was left by Jane to her dad as a "Goodbye" note, is a really sad moment.
I never realized that was Q!!!! :o
Also Discord in My Little Pony.
I dont think he thought it was a good bye note. She didnt commit suicide. It was sad though because of qhat she had said the day before. About being "judged all the time". And think about what he said to Walt. About not giving up on family. I think he saw it as her saying she was always screwing up. But not intentionally. And she was sorry. Sad for sure
DeLancie gave an amazing performance for sure. Heartbreaking. Cranston, Gunn, & Paul were incredible too. This show is an acting masterclass.
I had no idea he was Q!
I've watched this series a number of times but only just realised while watching your reaction that the 'ding' that you hear when Walt Jr's webpage gets a donation is exactly the same as the 'ding' you hear from tio Hector Salamanca! I think that is another reason why the sound irritates Walt and puts him on edge.
Ooh, good observation.
Lol they just used the same sound effect because it's a negligible little thing. Walt was on edge because it bothered him that they were accepting charity
that's a good point but I'm certain if Walt was bothered because of the ring it's only because he couldn't stand the fact his family were accepting charity, knowing Walt I don't think he has PSTD with that stupid ring of Hector.
Dayumn
I love how Nikki's very first reaction to Mike's appearance is, "Who the f**k is this guy?" and then everyone ends up loving him in due time.
I posted almost the same thing!
I didn't love Mike in Breaking Bad, I like him in BCS, tho
Tbf that was my first reaction to his first appearance too. Little did I know that by the end of BB/BCS he would be my favourite character
Jesse's breakdown in this episode is absolutely fucking heartwrenching. I've watched this show so many times and it still gets to me every time. Aaron Paul is unbelievable.
He was great in Westworld. His final episode was unreal. Unfortunately, the show got cancelled HBO.
Jesse Pinkman character was supposedly an one season act. Show runners were so impressed with Aaron Paul that they rewrote the show for him to stay on. The rest was history.
As a mother of a daughter who has substance abuse issues and has overdosed several times, you expect that you will get that call, and he was obviously in shock.
MAMA DEE’S MIDDLE AGE MAYHEM wishing you all the best mama
Hell, _John de Lancie,_ the actor, was in shock. He had a panic attack on camera because he got stuck in the visual that his _actual_ daughter was there on the bed.
Apparently Cranston had a similar experience, and found Jane's death the hardest to film.
Mama I hope she is able to overcome that, sincerely. Keep praying. Your prayers are heard. You have my best wishes for you and her, and your family...
Lol Hank holding Walt’s photo up right under ‘wanted’. Love/hate the jump cut at the beginning between Jane’s body and Holly safe in Walt’s arms. And Jane’s dad leaving a message for her to be “out front, bag packed” and then he literally sees her put in a body bag and taken away. Great writing. Great direction.
My favorite part of the writing of this episode (and it's all great) is when Gus Fring appears as the 3rd fun-run donator in Hank's office, and then he sees the fish bowl set up for Walt's cancer...I was hoping actually for a better reaction to that. The Normies had an awesome reaction to that, and the Normies overall reaction to this episode was epic. But they're both fun to watch.
@@ghenry4513 man fuck the normies
Omg I never noticed the "Be on the front porch, bags ready." line! Ugh heartbreaking.
The pink teddy is also falling on Janes bedroom wall art.
Nice catch! So much attention to detail!
Also, Walt has green eyes like the teddy bear, and he was wearing Pink in the scene, almost like Jane's still a part of him and he's responsible for this accident. Also, Skylar wearing blue, as in Sky Blue meth, where Walt is doing this for his family.
@@demmyglubber2496 Dad picks out blue dress for funeral too.
wow
@@demmyglubber2496 true
11:42 Thank God for people like Nikki and her spirit of empathy ... I hope your kids have the best experiences as they grow up. This episode really broke me down.
Ikr? Nikki’s spirit of empathy is such a refreshing breath of fresh air compared to a lot of fans who are toxic.
Aaron Paul got his first Emmy nomination for this.
Walt, in his own weird way, loves and cares about Jesse. It’s a product of investing in Jesse like a mentor and partner.
“Walt, in his own weird way, loves and cares about Jesse.” No, he does not. If he truly cared about Jesse, he would have had both Jesse and Jane checked into inpatient rehab. Like you said, “it’s a product of investing in Jesse.” Walt’s relationship with Jesse is a mere investment. That’s not love. That’s a mere transaction.
@@mechadoggy Yes, he does, again, in his own weird way. He's just loves himself more most of the time, so his own survival or prosperity takes priority until he realizes he's caused Jesse a lot of harm.
@@nathan43082 “Yes, he does, again, in his own weird way.” This sounds exactly like the kind of reasoning that an abusive boyfriend says to reassure himself that he’s “the good guy.”
@@mechadoggy You are conflating two things. Walt is not a good person. But he still cares for Jesse in his own way and it comes out when he's not being super selfish.
@@nathan43082 In all honesty, even Todd’s treatment and care for Jesse is more genuine than Walt’s because anything bad that Todd does to Jesse is based on Uncle Jack’s orders, and Todd is just too cognitively stunted to disobey whoever the head boss is at the time, whether it be Heisenberg or Uncle Jack. Walt, on the other hand, clearly has the cognitive ability to recognize right and wrong, unlike Todd.
I appreciate the hell out of how much effort Steven edits these videos, not only are they edited so well and he spends a lot of time and stays up late to post them but they upload on average 5 times a week, theres a reason this is legit one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. And you guys are so likable and awesome too
Agreed.
yep I really love them too.
@Sam Ham MAProductions, another one of my favorite reactors, had their subscribers blow up reviewing GoT and TWD videos, too. If you react to what people love, you get fans for life, it seems.
@Sam Ham Very true. The Wish Bus was a big contributor to many reactors.
TO BE HONEST! I'm studying screenwriting right now. You guys are the PERFECT audience. With my studies, along with your pure reactions - I am learning so much. Of course I have already watched this show, but seeing what questions you have, what you care about most.... it is helping me as a creator. So thank you guys, very much!!
Good luck with your chosen path
They started doing the podcast in season 2 of Breaking Bad.
"What are you supposed to do with a dead chick and drug paraphernalia everywhere?"
Better Call Saul!!!
In 1986 two planes collided in california the air traffic controler was named walter white dont think the writer knew it I just saw it on an intresting trivia list. DEA calls walts meth blue sky, skyler has been wearing alot of blue. Great reaction as always
also blue is often where walter fucked up lives . which is also why no yellow dress for jane but a blue one.
also he cuts in this ep were brutal (in a good way) from jane one dead daughter to walts new daughter.
Wow that release time is unusual. What a great surprise
Consequences. All of Walter's actions and the shit he chose led to the plane crash. Walter ultimately killed everyone this season. Even indirectly.
Mr. Mercury Tortuga
Jesse as well
@@KianoUyMOOP I wouldn't go that far. Escobar was a narco-terrorist, he intentionally ordered multiple terrorist attacks as part of his war with the Colombian government. This was a bizarre confluence of events that Walt was ultimately an integral part of, but couldn't have possibly anticipated. Also, Walter White is no Pablo Escobar.
Or Jane... She chose to start using again and also chose to introduce Heroin to Jesse which lead to everything else.
Sober Jane should've walked out of Jesse's home that night but she made her decision.
Right - It's all about consequences. Walter might not have been a bad guy deep down, but he chose to get involved in that kind of illegal business, and that put him in a position where he suddenly finds out he prefers to kill someone (Krazy-8, Jane...) so that his involvment with meth does not get discovered. And lie, after lie, after lie, he loses his wife; and lies and deaths finally bring a literal rain of tragedies over his person, his family and his house.
The pink stuffed animal was supposed to mean a death, foreshadowed from ep. 2x1, the death of a kid: the kid who owned the real toy and presumably traveled in the plane, Jane (who had a similar toy painted in her mural, and is someones' kid), and... see how there is a parallell between Jane and baby Holly (Jane's blue dress - Holly getting dressed): Walt has introduced tragedy in his family and has lost his family too. The loss of his kids and wife is a bit like their death for him. The corpses on his driveway are some real people who died because of him, but they also simbolyze Walt's big loss of Skyler and Walt Jr (and the damaged pink bear = Holly).
Finally, Walt does lose a real piece of himself (of his body, in surgery), so that his action in ep. 12 brings all that death and loss for him, his family and the whole ABQ in ep. 13.
The Jesse scene where he’s crying saying it was his fault killed me. Amazing acting he well deserved his award. Im binge watching now and I’m on season 5. This show has me so emotionally involved I had to take a 6 day break. Wish I watched it when it originally aired.
The pink bear in this episode is a symbol that all of Walt's actions and bad deeds are finally beginning to come back to him; it is supposed to speak to that idea and directly tie him to Jane since in the mural on Jane's wall when her dad walks in to pick out her dress, the same pink teddy bear is up in the right hand corner of the painting.
Obviously, it is Jane's dad who crashes the plane, too, once again showing how, like a chain reaction, Walt's decisions are impacting people all around like the butterfly effect. Walt is now the cancer himself and his actions are metastasizing to anyone who comes in contact with him and around them.
Colors have meaning on this show.
Maybe after the show's over Nikki and Steven should look up the Color Theory of Breaking Bad.
@@jmwild1 green is not a creative color
Green on the show tends to represent desperation, envy, and/or greed. There are plenty of sites out there that talk about the Color Theory of the show.
Yeah, I read that the main characters have their own color, for example Marie and all her purple.... but you're also right that they use color as symbolism for what the characters are feeling and such. Like when walt does really bad things his shirts are darker colored.
@@jmwild1 It was a joke
every time i see Jesse say "I loved her more than anything" I cry. I'm not gonna hide it. I relate so much and feel for him.
Season 3 and 4 is when Breaking Bad started becoming more popular, thank god bc it was almost canceled after 2 seasons. Season 3-4-5 is when I noticed the budget got a little higher and the cinematography got even better due to popularity/budget
EP 2x1: Seven Thirty Seven
EP 2x4: Down
EP 2x10: Over
EP 2x13: ABQ
The answer was always there. What a great show.
And these were all the episodes that opened with the pink bear
What does that spell out
@@fellurs that flight seven thirty seven was going to crash right above AlBuquerQue.
@@jnic2707 Yes! The director of breaking bad is a genius.
"Who's this fucking guy?"
*Some time later...*
"OMG Mike is the best character ever."
Just realized, if Hank responded "Yes, he is." to the question Gus asked about Walter being an agent it would've meant a death sentence for him.
I cry every time Aaron Paul cries in this series. He’s so good. I watched a video of a table read for another (later) episode and when he was reading, Anna G and Betsy B were both wiping away tears .
Anna Gunn is such a great actress. She knows her craft, too. Up until Breaking Bad, she only dove into parts of projects that she knew would have great material. She was in another acclaimed show, Deadwood, and when she got the Pilot script from her agent, she knew right away this show had the potential to be great. Her agent convinced her it was something special and she agreed so she read for the role. Multiple Emmy nominations and wins later, she now has one of the most memorable and enviable roles in the history of television.
When people ask why Skyler gets hate I refer them to this episode
@@woahblackbettybamalamstill don’t get it
I never realised it until this video but the switch of scenes from Janes Dad dressing her for her funeral vs Walt dressing Holly is heart breaking.
Honestly...I was in this very life when I was in my late teens and early 20's...been clean for over 15 years almost 38 now...but yeah...this is real to a lot of people...was to me back in the day...glad it's way behind me tho!! :) Anyways..great reaction once again...can't wait for next EP.
Congrats for your 15. 💜
@@angie-tq4ew TY Sooo much!! :)
My younger brother went from addiction to pain meds which inevitably developed into a heroin addiction. There are only so many times you can hear about them being arrested, going to the hospital with OD's or infected injection sites before you just have to steel yourself to the fact that the next phone call could be the one where they die. Fortunately a long stint in jail sobered him up, and some tough love and rehab has resulted in him being clean for about 2 years now. I hate to admit that I had reached a point where I had just accepted that he would be dead any day.
This is why you snort your drugs kids even your heroin/fentanyl it’s slightly less addictive way cleaner and safer needle/infection wise and its safer to do a small
Dose/ not od off stronger batch
@@Burnthealphabetpeople Sure, that might be better but going clean is ultimately the best choice. After a certain point your nerves are just getting deep fried and the diminishing highs are not worth your life.
This episode has an important message: letting someone choke on their own vomit is just plane wrong
*i see what you did there*
Well done are you proud of yourself
You made this joke three years ago and yet I am compelled to comment:
No. Bad! 😂
My man Mike's first appearance! The beginning of greatness...
That scene with Jesse in the drug den is so hard to watch... poor Jesse!! He already thinks Jane is his fault but now he's going to blame himself for the airplane incident too.
Breaking Bad has some of the finest acting you’ll ever see in a TV show, along with finest writing. The foreshadowing with the cold opens, the symbolism, and how all these plots tie together throughout this season are insanely brilliant. Plots that don’t seem significant at the time come back and are the most significant parts of the season, and it’s just fantastic. Season 2 was incredible, but the thing that separates BB from others is that it does this better and better EVERY SINGLE EPISODE, EVERY SINGLE SEASON.
I’m having a blast watching you two. This episode was extremely upsetting, and in the dark world of Breaking Bad I won’t promise that it starts to lighten up, but you guys will be glad you embarked on this journey. You guys made it through GoT, I have faith that you’ll have it in you to make it through this. ❤️
Did you ever notice when Janes Dad was calling out coordinates to the planes he said " Jane mic 21 turn heading, disregard " right before he crashed the planes ? He was so lost over her death he should have never been at work, especially that kind of work.
That was such a crazy season finale. I never realized the stark difference of Walt's two lives in this episode. From the overwhelming effects of letting Jane die in his criminal life to the intense positivity of Skyler and Walt Jr. in his civilian life. And you can almost feel Walt's palpable discomfort when his son speaks so highly of him. It shows that he's still capable of feeling guilt. He's knowingly fucked up poor Jesse's life and unknowingly fucked up Jane's father's life. If you couldn't feel sorry for Jesse in this episode you have no heart. He's just so obviously broken.
And now you know what the cold opens were all about. It certainly was shocking huh? Mainly because there's no way you could have seen that coming, unless you paid attention to the episode titles. And that ending was such a perfect metaphor for Walt's life. The two planes collided into each other in disastrous fashion, just like Walt's duel lives, and the debris were raining down around him. It's also perfect that the crash happens right above Walt's head to complete the metaphor and also because he's indirectly responsible for it happening.
Season 2 was so damn good but if you thought this season was crazy just wait, you ain't seen nothing yet.
The plane crash at the end of the episode was based on a real mid-air collision that occured in 1986 in California (though that incident was caused by pilot error and not by a traffic controller). The air traffic controller involved in that incident was actually named Water White.
Walter or Water?
@@maxeyre2024 Walter. Unfortunate typo lol.
I can't imagine how hard Walts heart was beating when Skylar confronted him.
I can almost understand why not too many ppl react to Breaking Bad. It's a really deep dark journey. The acting and storytelling make it beautiful art, but it's not light entertainment. Like you said "it's heavy." And it is. But I'm glad you guys are doing it. Watching you react to this art is as entertaining as watching you have more upbeat reactions to GOT. Although, Got has its moments too. Lol.
daddiyankme not many people because they use to give people strikes but now many people are reacting to it now.
I actually agree. When they started the show I thought "what have we really made them do?" The show is really dark, but has its amazing bright moments and is just..... brilliant. An experience.
yeah guys hang in there. It's ok to watch through your fingers with your hands over your eyes 😎.
btw don't ever worry about investing your emotions into an event from the show. Everything has a meaning and a full arc (unlike most shows). The writers never write themselves into a dead end. I just think it's helpful to know that.
For as dark as the show is, it's also extremely funny. It's like 60% crime drama, 40% dark comedy. Maybe 70/30...
@@coolbreez1214 the writers write themselves into corners all the time, and then write themselves out. That's the brilliance of the show. They talk about that a lot in the behind the scenes stuff, they write moment to moment, trying to follow a chain of cause and effect, which means they often force the characters into impossible situations and have to spend days trying to figure out how to resolve the conflict, and they don't stop until the solution is perfect and satisfying. And all the while they are going back and making sure that everything that happens or did happen continues to echo through the show.
Maybe the best BB reaction from you guys so far. I almost cried myself just watching it.
That part hits me so hard: "I loved her more than anything" Reminds me of my ex, I relate so much
That's the power of a vag, it's like a drug... Get over it you whiny idiot.
fun fact : in Paris there is a bar called ABQ inside you are like in the Van of the show and it's decorated to BB universe and you can be dressed up in yellow jumpsuit and even wear the mask like Walter and Jesse in the lab.
I will never stop crying about that scene with Jesse...
You two f-ing rock! I was expecting this in the morning, but I get a midnight snack, yo!!!!
This is so odd, it's 10 in the morning here 😁
They usually post by 10am my time but they were up by 7am today
Must be a terrible feeling, he wanted to take her to rehab the previous evening, but agreed to wait until morning
You can tell that her dad was so heartbroken that he had given up and that's why he didn't attack Jesse. The actor did an amazing job in his limited screen time. It's like he had knew for years that this might happen to her if she started up again so he wasn't entirely surprised, and as far as Jesse's role in it, probably overnight he came to terms with it's not entirely Jesse's fault and that Jane might have had feelings for Jesse so after the way he reacted the day before he had calmed down a little. I originally thought he was going to attack him, too, but that's why it's good acting because you can see in his face he's so heartbroken, and he knows it's not all Jesse's fault. You can even hear it in his voice when he's telling the questioner her details.
"Didn't think this show was going to make me cry"...Yeah, as said on an earlier episode, this show isn't superficial and it does require an emotional investment...It's pretty deep, even though it can also just be pure entertainment. It's a combination of genres and balances the lighter moments with the darker ones, like a chemistry.
John de Lancie is his name, and yep. You rarely see him in more serious roles, but, this was an amazing role for him.
I lost my little brother to a fentanyl overdose a couple years ago. He was 19. This series of episodes always hits pretty hard whenever I see it.
Rip to your brother ❤
That was a really tough episode to watch. But it's not going to get any easier.
PS: Not many people talk about it, but Jessie takes the cake this episode. Absolute fantastic acting! Bravo.
Yes! Such authentic acting from Aaron Paul! Really every character on this show is spot on.
I love your videos, first off. I think this episode really showcases Aaron Paul's (jesse) wonderful talent. Walt didnt just break jesse's and Jane's dad's heart but all the hearts of the people that lost people in those planes colliding. And killed so many more people. The acting, writing, cinematography, directing, and much more is so well done in this show. I cant wait for you two to keep watching because it just keeps getting better and better.
Notes from the podcast: (this is a long post! But lots of interesting stuff!)
1. Origin of the teddy bear- they like the idea of circular storytelling (see episode 1, Walt in his underpants). It was an intentional misdirect, as we’d probably think it had to do with the baby, that they wanted to last throughout the whole season.
2. Shots from inside the pool - one of the grips at one point was in the wrong kind of wetsuit & immediately went into hypothermia (this was in December)
3. The teddy bear shows up throughout the season. Good eye, Steve! (No pun intended) some spots mentioned:
-2x12 on the motel pool cover
-2x07 on the deck outside the hotel
-in the Twat Hammer video
-in the artwork on Jane’s wall in 2x13
4. How did they get the shot of it falling into the pool? A mix of CGI & practical effects - the explosion was CGI; satellite photos used for the images from above the actual house they use for the White residence, & marry that to shooting with a (super expensive, rented) camera that falls from about 500 feet up into the water, then with the splash from a water cannon that was in the pool. actually, because balloons rise, it would’ve been shot from the ground up & the film (note from me: yes, they still shot on film when BB was being made) later reversed. Vince Gilligan wanted to attach the camera to weather balloons! So they tested it in a parking lot & made plans, but also rented a crane that went 300ft high as a backup plan. The second test was actually above the back yard with 5 balloons (and everyone hiding)...it went up about 4 seconds & then got caught in a “breeze” (125 mph winds were reported by the airport) which popped 2 & sent the rest off to the right so fast a car couldn’t even chase it! It was out of sight within 5 minutes!...with the super expensive rented camera attached! So they called the airport & the Air Force base to report it so it didn’t get shot down. In the meantime, they requested the crane (which they ultimately used) for a couple days later...the same day, the camera rental house got an email from a woman 200 miles SE of Albuquerque who said this weather balloon with a camera attached landed in her back yard! The camera wasn’t broken, yet looked sandblasted - but the film was all black? And they were confused... then someone said “well, here’s the problem! The lens cap was left on!!” 😂
5. They built a fiberglass chest over Jane for Jesse to intensely try to perform CPR - Vince Gilligan hates in entertainment when actors are barely pressing on people while they perform it. Anyway...Kristen Ritter was overcome & in tears over that scene & how real it all felt to her to play that death, and it was intense for everyone on set. The worst for her was the body bag being zipped up over her face.
I like watching reactions to shows I love and reading the comments because usually there is a lot of interesting trivia I didn't know. In this show in particular, it is crazy. The level of detail they have in this show is insane.
bring on season 3!!
for me, season 3 is the starting point where Breaking Bad evolved from being "great" to "All-time Great"
Season 3, 4 & 5 were all intense & nerve racking
Agreed. The first two seasons were almost a comedies, but yet, Great seasons. Great set-ups.
That fade to black and white makes me want to scream it’s so good.
That scene with Jesse breaking down and crying in Walt's arms is still hard to watch years later !!!
I don't know if you noticed, at 23:07 the father says her daughters name and gets upset which in turn causes him to get distracted.
I too thought it was weird that Jane's dad stayed calm like that, especially when you remember that the day before, he was ready to beat the shit out of Jesse. It's really sad to see how dead inside he is now that his daughter is gone ...
I’ve never cried to a tv-series before until Jesse said ”I loved her more than anything” :(
As a long time Star Trek fan I was really floored by John de Lancie's performance in this episode. I just hit the right tone as father whose world has just fallen apart.
Jane's dad was on screen for something like 15 minutes in total, but went through more pain than any other character in the show.
I would think Jessie, but they both went through a great amount of pain.
@@fluffy4812 the thing is - Jane's father almost commited souicide in prison. But it's hard to tell who had more shit in his life - The all time low for Jesse was being a slave for these rotten savages.
@@fluffy4812 STRONGLY disagree. Jesse didn't have a child die. He had multiple girls die, and Brock _almost_ died, and the bike kid. But that still wasn't _his kid._
Jesse was enslaved, but Jane's dad _got two airliners killed._
Everybody Jesse loved is dead or gone LITERALLY EVERYONE.
Jesse also suffers from ptsd after killing gale because Walter couldn’t do it.
Just wanted to commend you for your style of reaction videos. I have looked at different ones, and yours are the most enjoyable. You take your time to reflect on what you saw and put things into perspective. I really like watching how your thought process unfolds in front of us.
You guys are so awesome. I came across your channel months ago but just recently started binging your Breaking Bad Reactions and cannot stop. You seem like the most down to earth people and I can relate to a lot of your reactions. I know this is an old vid but keep it up!
As Mike walks up. ‘Who’s this fuckin’ guy?’ Only the G.O.A.T of cool old guys there is.
12:35 damn，it's my third time watch this but first time noticed Hank happened to hold Mr. White's photo under the 'WANTED' sign!
thank you for letting me watch this series with you both
Well! My 4am Insomnia worked out for a change!
✈️😢
Same here
Lol I woke up at 6:32 to pee and saw this and said well time to wake up lol🙃
This show really puts the fans in to a moral dilemma. Good stuff!
The way this show presents the moral gray of human nature is unparalleled, even by GoT.

I love that you guys realized that it was a total chain of events and the actions of Walt that ultimately caused those planes to crash resulting in even more horrific deaths due to the choices he’s made.
Also, did you guys notice that as the screen faded to a gray, they focus on the colors of the bear being pink as well as Walt wearing a pink sweater. This is imminent bc it represents both Walt and his life falling apart around him as well as Jesse “Pinkman”(pink bear) drowning in his life (drowning in the pool) bc of his sorrows and difficulties with Jane’s death AND his addiction. Pretty amazing writing if you ask me. Can’t wait for season 3!
Love you guys! i've gone through my breaking bad journey with you everytime i watch an episode i watch you guys react to it so much fun!
What!!! I wasn't expecting this until late in the afternoon! Love you guys so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
In this episode Heisenberg really showed his affection to Jesse and really sees him as his son
Uuuh he literally manipulated him and watched his girlfriend choking to death
The color of Skylar's dress was mentioned. The use of color in this show is awesome! I don't want to risk accidentally posting spoilers but there is a lot of symbolism with colors and wardrobe! Love this show and watching you guys react!
Watching that scene where they put Jane in the body bag was hard for me. I've been in the same situation, kinda. It was my dad, and it was not an overdose (he died of cancer), but it brought it back to my mind. The paramedics or whatdoyacallem even said pretty much the same thing: "You might not wanna watch this", when they lifted his body from the bed and put it to the bag.
Thank you guys for your consistency. On videos in general G.O.T and Breaking Bad are my favorite shows of all time. And you guys upload daily.
Let's take a moment to give kudos to the cinematography in this series, the whole setup of shots throughout this season, giving just little tidbits, breadcrumbs and then brings it all together to smack us all in the feels and face.
When I first watched the series when it came out, I found myself thinking about the characters and situations throughout the week (until the next episode). This show sticks with you...even more so for me cause I live in NM and go to ABQ quite a bit and I'll see a location and automatically think of the show.
Thank you for not making noise during the dialogues. Liked and subbed👍
LOL .... the gasp that comes from Nikki when Skyler asks for the cell phone and Walt say "Which One?" I can't stop laughing. That was awesome!
15:47 notice anything in the upper right corner of the mural on the wall?
Holy.... never noticed
They put foreshadowing in in so many ways...
purple bear
Oh snap. Nice. Finally a tid-bit that I hadn't noticed before. Whoa.
Ha - the thing is I DID notice that but I didn't even make the connection. Doh!
The airplane crash is such a good metaphor for the show. All season you’re wondering about what darkness is about to come into Walt’s life, but it turns out it was all about Walt’s darkness getting into everyone else’s lives.
I appreciate you guys reacting to this stuff like real empathetic humans.
jane's death was one of the hardest things to watch for me. it really affected me for like weeks afterwards, and i never get affected like that by anything fictional. there was something about it that felt so real and hurtful, i cant really explain it. still affects me now tbh when i watch it back.
Jessie in the next few episodes broke my heart several times over. I feel so bad for him. I didn’t know about the plane crash. I was beating myself up for days trying to figure out those cold opens. Watching Walt hugging Jessie in that flop house and seeing Donald’s reaction was the worst part of this episode along with the crash. This is one of the many reasons why I’ll never ever touch hard drugs.
I wonder if the 11 people who disliked this video (in contrast to the 11 HUNDRED people who liked it) felt that way solely because they're pissed that they could handle Jesse crying over Jessica Jane...until Nikki started tearing up and then they just lost it. Damn you, Nikki! You get me every time! [Blue hearts and winky kissy face emoji]
FYI Some of the episode names in S2 spells out what the cold openings are about: 737, Down, Over, ABQ.
Walt would have his fingerprints and id in the State Police & FBI databases, because he has access and control of dangerous chemicals. Plus his knowledge of how to use them places him on a lot of radars.
Nothing makes coming home from a day of winter classes better then seeing a new reaction video from you guys! And now we are getting somewhere... Season 3 just gets steadily better and better until the 2nd to last episode "Half Measures" where it became the greatest current show on television in my opinion. Actually the rest of the show gets steadily better from here!
My mom overdosed in a room full of people and the last episode and this episode are some of the hardest episodes of tv for me to consume. I loved my mom so much and it's hard to think that someone could've treated my mom the same way Walt treated Jane. I really loved your reactions regardless and it really made me happy to see you guys show empathy for Jane, alot of people in my life weren't given that.
So glad I found your channel! I absolutely love your reactions!! Thank you for so much entertainment!!
You’re not alone guys, no one was able to predict the crash at the end! This episode culminated with everything BLOWING up in Walt’s face. It is all of us along with Walt starting to see the real consequences of his decision to “break bad”. It’s definitely a domino effect of everything Walt has done. He really doesn’t even realize what he’s started. Walt’s pink sweater, burned pink teddy bear.
Thanks for the video. It was awesome to wake up to it this morning.
I just love the dad actor so much. He didnt get much to do here but still loved it.
I just want to remind people that Nikki and Steven still read the comments. Talking about the direction of the show or certain characters is spoiler territory, even if you don't spell it out. Let's not do that. Let them discover things in the same we were able to.
Watching you guys react to the show for the first time is almost like seeing it the first time for myself. Thanks. :)
Take my mind off things... I choose to watch both of you to draw my attention to things, different perspectives, different thoughts, you guys are freakin great yo!
Did you notice Jane's dad when conversing with the plane traffic, referred to "Jane" his daughter
Could not wait for this episode!!! Nikki's reaction to Jane's father were legit. And Steven almost had to change his pant when they showed walt's picture in front of the wanted sign... lol.
Nikki, i honestly have to tell you that, i truly believe that you must be a really wonderful mother! That beautiful bond that you have with your husband! You are the friends i would like to have.. You are my company to watch so many series with..And l have to tell you, that i love your reactions and understanding for people with disabilities..My child has a different kind of disability and now i have too.. But you are keeping me company.. Thank you! I don't know if TH-cam is your hobby or your job, but you must know that you are helping people who don't have any friends because they are stuck in a bed, kind of suffering.. Thank you again..
really appreciate this comment Marina!!! I can confirm, Nikki is an amazing mother and wife. thank you again for the kind words and hope you feel better, happy we can be here to help.
@@NikkiStevenReact Thank you so much! I wish you health! If you have that, you have everything!❤️
When i first saw this episode and the planes blew up it got me goosebumps and frozen.
it reminded me of 9-11 and as i was grade 3 when that happened and the fact that you were watching it happened live in your tv screens half across the globe, it will scar you for life.
thinking back then, i saw how the world changed forever.
