I don’t think people understand that Walt left the company and did not get “left out”. He abandoned Gretchen bc he felt inferior to her due to her wealth and could not stand that he was being outdone. His hatred for Gretchen is completely unwarranted and she even called him out for trying to spin the story that way.

The interweb was still kinda new back then, but by seasons 2 and 3 there were fan sites and podcasts where we got together and over analyzed every detail and imagined possibility . Bald Move did my fav B-Bad podcast btw. Like once we saw Jeese firing the gun in Full Measures, everyone in fandom had something to say about wheather he had actually killed Gale or not. There was some odd camera move, and so a large fraction of us simply could not come off our position that that was to show that Jeese fired past Gale's head instead of at it thruout the entire off season And this was in spite of Villigan flatly saying in interviews that that camera move was not to show Jeese fired past Gale's head. And there was something like that for like every episode. Watching B-Bad was actually inda a big part of my life thruout its run. And I am grateful to have had that experience.

I think Flynn changing his name is less resenting his father and more wanting a sense of individuality. I never understood naming your child after yourself so it makes sense he changed it
Yeah people name their kids after themselves because of legacy, too. It’s cool when your parent made a mark in this world and you’re that person’s spawn
I think Skyler is actually a very well written and disagree with your point there. You can say she kinda is molded to the plot but they still manage to keep her believable. She's trapped in an extremely traumatic and complicated situation and doesn't know what to do a lot of the time. Oftentimes she just tries to make the best of a situation she feels like she can't escape. People in real life aren't consistent or one thing and that's what Breaking Bad and BCS do really well imo
yes it’s like, very clear she absolutely hates walter all throughout after finding out, and only went along with helping out because she feared the safety of her kids, the amount of people that don’t see that genuinely scares me.
I always thought that as Skylar got more hints of what Walt was capable of (especially her putting two and two together that Walt killed Gus / the prison murders), she was afraid of Walter killing her if she tried to escape or tell anyone. I thought her back and forth-ness with Walt was actually pretty realistic for a person in that kind of scenario.
plus walter said he had already made house payments with the money. if he was caught the govt would've taken everything from them and they'd be homeless (like how skylar, flynn, and holly are living in the finale). She was trying to protect herself and her kids from being homeless
One of my favorite parts I never hear mentioned is in Bullet Points, when Walt and Skyler are practicing the act to tell hank and Marie about the “gambling.” Walt doesn’t wanna act too apologetic. Then he finally says “I’m sorry. For all of this.” And Skylar thinks for a second he’s actually apologizing but then he goes “how’s that. Seem believable?” Pretty devastating
I feel like Skyler is written like that because she actually doesn’t know what to do being in that type of situation she doesn’t want the family to be ruined further but also doesn’t want to be near him
I feel like a lot of men don’t understand the actual horror story skylar is living in. Makes me feel like most fans don’t get an accurate view of the show at all :/
@@tobipickle Yeah, only valid reasons to dislike Skylar imo are her weird tendencies for new age stuff and all that from the first episode. She didn't make a good impression on me there, but thorough the series? Yeah she doesn't deserve any of that, I can't even imagine having to deal wiith this kind of a horror.
@@zooweemama4203 I agree to a point, until she actually gets involved with the business, she really grinds the story to a holt and since she is committing Crimes now, I am can't even say I feel that bad for her anymore, like she had a chance to redeem herself in season 5 but nope. She isn't horrible or anything, just one of the lesser aspects of the show
@@FriendlyArin can you tell me what you would’ve done in her situation? Please do tell me how she could have easily gotten out of everything safely without complying to and helping Walt. Rewatch the show
For Skylar's bimbo plot, she basically made the guy believe everything was wrong because Ted hired some woman he banged who had no qualifications and she messed up the books rather than him doing it intentionally. It didn't get them off the hook but it gave them more time to come up with the money that was owed. Also I think Jesse remembering Gale more than that cartel guy makes a lot of sense as Gale was defenseless and meant Jesse no harm whereas the Cartel guy was actively trying to shoot him.
Also, Gale was his first kill. Sure, he was going to kill the gang members an episode prior, but they killed Tomás so Jesse’s sympathy was limited for them.
By far my favorite episode has always been Crawl Space. On first viewing I had never seen such an anxiety inducing episode quite like that one and it's always stuck with me. So many things are culminating at once and by the end of the episode it's almost in full blown horror territory. I think the only other episode I could compare it to is Plan and Execution from BCS. Full Measure is also close. One thing that I found surprising about your list was your placement of Granite State, it's definitely within my top 10 episodes
One detail that I see some people get wrong is that Gonzo didn't die trying to hide No-Doze's body. He came back later that day to retrieve it to give it a proper burial, which he said thats what they should do to Tuco when he originally told him to hide it.
Ha! Good catch. I never thought too much on it at the time because his death just became a throwaway gag the way it was presented in the show and we're straight on to the tension build up after this that my thoughts didn't dwell long on this scene.
I gotta agree with "Face Off" being Number 1. The whole ending montage of Jesse and Walt burning down the lab, ending with this beautiful shot of Walt at the parking lot with the sunset in the background made me feel incredible joy. Walt and Jesse leaving on good terms with Brock pulling through just added to the joy I felt. Walt telling Skyler that they are safe and that he won was just the crowning satisfaction. I sat there thinking: "Yes Walt! You won! I love you man!" I was not once thinking about the bad shit that Walter did during this whole episode. I was just glad that he, Jesse and Walter´s family were safe. This peak satifaction then gets interrupted by the Lily of the Valley next to Walter´s pool, which in one last scene with emotional music playing recontextualizes the last two episodes and Walt´s character. Ironically I was not even mad at Walt at his moment. I remember feeling even more satisfaction, becuase I was instantly thinking on a meta level: "Holy shit, this show is so incredibly well written". "Ozymandias" made me feel peak distress and "Face Off" made me feel peak satisfaction.
Something I want to add about not knowing why Jesse got close with Mike, is that Jesse is just inherently trusting and kind. Throughout the show Jesse allows himself to get close to Walt whose literal introduction to Jesse is “cook meth with me or I tell the DEA what you’ve done”
One of the craziest things I realized while watching this is that, barring the top percentage **incredible** episodes that would happen occasionally, I hardly ever noticed episode quality. Where I'm saying "oh, this episode was better than the last two" or "that was a strong string of episodes." Even if under analysis like this video is you can come up with rankings, I think it speaks to the show's quality that I was so engrossed in the story due to how well they handled every aspect of production. I had no concern with even **thinking** about quality on an episode by episode basis.
(spoiler alert for the whole show lol) I never got the impression that Skyler was wishy-washy myself. From the moment she finds out about Walt, her main goal has been protecting the kids from the dangers that come with Walt being a drug dealer as well as from the truth, seeing as how it does eventually completely rend their family when it comes out. She initially tries forcing him out, but without being able to tell and him calling her bluff she's forced to go along. Helping Walt not getting caught keeps them kids from finding out, and when she feels like the kids are in particular danger she will go to extremes to get them out of the house without letting anyone know about the Walt stuff.
This is an extremely minor detail I never see anyone mention: In Felina when meeting Jack's gang, Walter is wearing the same outfit he wore when he first met Jesse to cook.
skyler laundering money wasn't a favour for walt, it was necessary to keep herself out of prison and prevent flynn and holly from being motherless. i don't see how that makes her wishy washy
Honestly, I think this guy missed a few things about this show. He says Walter was cut out from Grey Matter even though he left the company on his own. He says Gus killed Victor for no reason even though he did it because Victor was seen at Gale's apartment. He thinks Walter let Jane die because he was looking out for Jesse. And he seems to think Walter and Jesse were friends.
@Cluck Bucketz yeah, I'm at the beginning of the video and there are already bad takes, like when he says the cringe speech Walter gives at the school "shows how much humanity he lost", when it's obviously his guilt over what happened causing him to try and rationalize/minimize it. Guilt is also the reason he tried burning his money and he didn't seem to understand that either
@@toiletseat777e also seems to think that it's outlandish for Jack to want to continue cooking after getting the seventy million dollars. I don't know, a drug kingpin wanting more money doesn't seem that farfetched to me. Also, I don't think Skyler trying to drown herself was a ploy to get Hank and Marie to take the kids.
Another meaning behind the finale being called Felina is a reference to an old Marty Robbins song called “El Paso”. The song is about a cowboy who falls in love with a woman named Felina who works at a saloon. The cowboy ends up murdering a man in a duel over his love for Felina and is forced to flee to avoid being arrested. However, after being gone from his love for a while, he decides it’s better to be dead than without his love for the rest of his life, so he returns back to El Paso but is shot by lawmen. In his dying moments Felina finds him and holds him in her arms. The episode is analogous to the song, with the main character being Walt, Walt’s greed and love of power, money, and meth making being represented in Felina, and Hank’s death being similar to the man the cowboy killed over his love for Felina, which forced him to flee. You can even say the cowboy dying in Felina’s arms is similar to Walt dying with a smile in a meth lab for a final time.
Listen in defense of Andreas little brother being the one who shot combo: it’s not far fetched that a boy who ended up running with gangs had an older sister who abused drugs and ended up in focus groups
The saddest moment in the entire show is when Walt doesn’t let Bogdan keep his first dollar. Literally my heart broke first watching that and it just broke again. Bogdans expression is soul crushing :(((
I think the saddest moment in the entire show is when Walt didn't go go-karting with Jesse. That was the moment Walt truly became Heisenberg, an evil and completely irredeemable monster.
Depressed Jesse makes sense considering the timeline of the show. Depression doesn’t go away quickly & with who he is & everything that has happened him being depressed is logical
Abq local here! Just wanted to chime in that although abq is not a small town, I’ve always described it as the biggest small town. Everyone kinda knows everyone somehow and it often feels like you’re one or two people away from having met someone in your life lol I think it’s because abq doesn’t have a whole lot to do so we all inevitably kinda do the same things and end up in similar places maybe? Although either way I don’t suspect the writers knew this when writing the show
Loved this video!! Here's my top 10: 10. Pilot 9. Grilled 8. Fly 7. End Times (Underrated asf!! glad you put it so high!) 6. 4 Days Out 5. Box Cutter (This is the best premire for any season of television ever.) 4. Felina 3. Face Off 2. Crawl Space 1. Granite State (purely because of that incredible ending. I will never forget how it made me feel when I first watched it.)
Something I realized that I didn’t in my first watch through is that, although dying in the end, Walt WON. He came back to Albuquerque after escaping New Hampshire Police and tied up every loose end he could. He thoroughly outplayed everyone in every sense of the matter and saved Jesse, his family, and pretty much everyone else still alive while also dispatching everyone who was a threat to the prior. Easily my favorite show.
Yeah he did tie up all the loose ends, but Walt never really “won” since he lost himself and everyone who loves him in the process. He dies lonely by succumbing to self inflicted wounds surrounded by his passion. His goals were carried out by destroying all evils in his life, including himself
@@Spagbolisnotme The show makes it clear that Walt doesn't care about his loved ones as much as he says he does. What he truly cares about is exerting power over others, and he certainly succeeded in doing that. To him, his family hating him is okay as long as he gets to be the man. He did win.
The fact that he managed to accomplish everything he set out to do once he decided to not put himself as the top priority could also be seen as a way to portray how efficient and successful Walt could have been, if he was less obsessed with appeasing his own ego. Humble Walt is OP, God had to nerf him.
Completely agree with Face/Off at number one and especially with the statement that Fring had become seemingly invulnerable at this point. I remember rewatching F/O with my brother who was watching it for the first time and when Gus gets out of the car to get to the nursing home, my brother casually said "oh so that’s when Gus dies". I was shocked and enraged. How did he dare being Doylist at a moment like that? Me, when Gus came out with one half of his face blown off, I was still sure he was gonna survive somehow until the radio announced otherwise.
Personally 4 Days Out is my favourite episode It has classic Jesse lines like “ahh wire” or a robot It has a great cook sesh Walt solves the battery problem with his chemistry genius (I think this is an aspect that was lost later in the show) Then it has the series changing reveal that walt is actually in remission and he is stuck in this life of crime he’s created
My Top 5 is #5: Say My Name (S5E7) #4: Face Off (S4E13) #3: Ozymandias (S5E14) #2: Granite State (S5E15) #1: Felina (S5E16/Finale) I made an entire list but I doubt I’ll end up sending the whole list
Its a little stupid to say that skylar has writing issues because her behavior is completely normal in such a bizarre and horrifying situation. It was pretty clear that she hated walt the entire time, but was trying to make the best out of it. Jesse trusting mike was because of his nature as a person, and he want to have someone to trust, and he clearly cant do that with walt
My top 5 Breaking Bad episodes are: 5. End Times 4. 4 Days Out 3. Ozymandias 2. Face Off 1. Felina Also I just wanted to say that I think Fifty-One is very underrated, it’s in my top 15 episodes and my second favorite of Season 5A after Dead Freight. The parallels it has with Pilot as well as the beautifully tragic pool scene make for a very gripping tale of Skyler trying to save her children in a desperate gamble to get them away from Walt.
I don't really think that Walt surviving and being offered a barrel makes no sense. It is unlikely, yes, but Todd does have a huge amount of respect for Walt, because throughout their time working together, he can read that Walt didn't *really* mind Drew being shot, that Walt actually wants to teach, and that he is an excellent manipulator and great kingpin. Todd has respect for him because he wants to be him, and so him talking Jack out of killing Walt and even leaving him a barrel still makes sense to me.
@@Cor214 Lol i hope one day you mature and realize that out of a 62 episode series people are going to have different opinions on a top 5. A reaction like that to a fictional series is CRAZY lmao
Im surprised you never mentioned the jesse and kid scenes in peekaboo.i think it deserves a significantly higher rating just for those scenes.especially the last scene in the episode
Skyler (and generally other addicts on television) flush toilets/drugs/whatever the object of their addiction is instead of "just throwing it out like a normal person would" because when you flush it it become unusable. You can take cigarettes out of the trash, you can't take toilet water out of your cigarettes.
I only just started this show last week and I've already finished it. It was impossible to stop once I started and I think its a true testament to how well this show is written, even when I wasn't watching I was thinking about it constantly. Part of me wants more from these characters even after Better Call Saul and El Camino but I'm glad the writers knew when to call it, it all wrapped up perfectly and will stand the test of time of one of the greatest TV series of all time.
3:33 i dont think the scene was supposed to be interpreted that way, i always interpreted it as Walt feeling really guilty over and it and trying to downplay the severity of the plane crash, and feel less responsible.
I feel like im, suprisingly, in the minority based off of the comments when i say i honestly liked Ozymandias the most. Episodes like Face Off, Felina, and Crawl Space are still top, top tier for sure, but i feel like Ozymandias is just so iconic and is arguably the lowest point for everyone in the series. Hank is dead, Jesse is being tortured and kept only as a meth slave, Walter lost his family as they all turned against him, every main character from this point on is mentally fucked. It's both a sad and honestly disturbing episode, and something that it felt like the series was building up to forever.
Ozymandias is my number two. I think some episodes just speak to people more or less than others. For example, I would rank Face Off significantly lower than others, not because it's bad, but because episodes like Felina just get me more. Ozymandias is generally considered the best episode of the show, so people are more likely to speak up if they feel like they are adding something new rather than just repeating what's already been said
Breaking bad was definitely ground breaking TV, i never thought better call saul would live up to it but i always find myself rewatching it more. Such an amazing universe the producers and writers built
55:21 if hank told the dea that walt was heisenberg, he would have been fired from his job for having heisenberg (his own brother in law) be under his nose for so long basically like george merket, who was fired due to gus being under his nose for so long
I have a hot take regarding Gale "not deserving any of this." As you noted earlier in the video during the ATM episode, we see directly what kind of impact meth has on the people who use it. This is a guy not only complicit in that, but actively pushing the boundaries on purity to make more addicting product. He willingly signed up for this knowing the dangers it brought and the misery it wrought. I think the show does a FANTASTIC job of eliciting sympathy, but that it's actually quite deceptive and similar to most people siding with Walt through to the middle/late stages of the series.
48:00 two reasons, first one is that victor stepped out of line by starting to cook, and the second reason, is that victor was spotted at the crime scene, gus was just tying up loose ends. victor just made too many mistakes
The reason why Skyler is so "wishy-washy" is because she is torn between still loving and caring for Walt while at the same time being scared of him and wanting to leave/escape him. The writing on Skyler is very well done and showcases how an abusive relationship functions and why the abused so often still stays with the abuser. Yes, Walt never outright directly abuses her, but as showcased in the episode where the Salamanca twins sit in Wlats bedroom, he puts the family (and himself) in great danger and Skyler being the smart woman she is, knows that (of course not the twins being in their home but she knows that drug dealing can be fatal for the family). If you look at Walts actions from a more realistic angle and detach yourself from the "coolness" of the Heisenberg character, the only reason why he is alive for so long is BECAUSE it is a tv show, in reality, he would be murdered immediately and put his family on the line. And I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I mean making everything 100 % realistic is super boring, and that's why we even engage in media, but Skyler is a character that grounds Walt and directly confronts his Ego, that's exactly why she slept with Ted, to break walts ego and make him leave, even though in the episode she obviously does not want to sleep with him. In my opinion, Skyler together with Hank are the best-written characters in BB, because both of them contrast and antagonize Heisenberg! in a very unique way. And being this antagonistic force towards Heisenberg while still loving Walt, that in the end loses to Heisenberg and basically becomes his hostage, is what makes Skyler for many viewers such a pain in the ass and appearing "unfocused".
I loved this show so much that I watched this whole video without skipping and I still knew every episode and iconic moment he was talking about. Brilliant
Albuquerque might not be a small town but I imagine those invested in hard core drugs/in the criminal underworld is a very small percentage, so in that way it makes sense
Also saying Lydia was showing humanity by not wanting to see it is not true when she’s the reason that they’re dead, just makes her more repulsive and cowardly
@@praisedexx That isn't how you say it in spanish lmao. The E isn't pronounced as E or knee like in the racial slur but like egg. N•egg•ro is usually how it should sound. Hard to convey sound over text lol.
In Thirty-Eight Snub, Mike did not stop Walter in his tracks, it was Tyrese, but after that scene Mike is at a bar where he called Walter (?) to come to, and have a talk. Now that scene of Walter getting the phone call is considered a Mandela Effect, since alot of people think it's Mike who called Walter at that exact scene.
I'm currently doing an experiment on my girlfriend by showing her bcs first and then bb and seeing if that makes bb vastly more enjoyable with all the extra back story.
One of the only things here that I personally disagree with is that one episode where Jesse gets revenge on the two meth heads who stole the ATM. That’s always been like a top 15 episode for me, especially Jesse’s interactions with the kid and stuff. This video was awesome though! Really nice breakdown of all the episodes and great justifications for your rankings.
@@iiyeyitosii8523 You'd be surprised at how many people I've seen write off the episode saying "it's only good because of the last scene" But I agree, it is a masterpiece frfr
In my opinion, Fly is a masterpiece. It's kind of a visualization of Walt's mental state
Yeah just like how Jesse’s house was a visualization of his mind after killing gale
Agree.
That truly is the moment when Walt becomes the Chicago Sunroofer
I think I don’t really care about philosophic dogshit and want them to make it interesting
@@mrgrass1232 What, in your opinion, was the "philosophic dogshit" in that episode? 'Cause I didn't see philosophic dogshit.
I don’t think people understand that Walt left the company and did not get “left out”. He abandoned Gretchen bc he felt inferior to her due to her wealth and could not stand that he was being outdone. His hatred for Gretchen is completely unwarranted and she even called him out for trying to spin the story that way.
You’re right, but that’s a key part of Walt’s character. It was his mistake. But he’s far too proud to admit that.

Whoa . Thanks dude.
The episode where Finger and Waltuh broke up was more heartbreaking than Ozymandias and Felina combined.

focus on school
Massively unfunny. Kiss shotgun noob
Bruh y'all are 8 year olds insulting this guy
I think Flynn changing his name is less resenting his father and more wanting a sense of individuality. I never understood naming your child after yourself so it makes sense he changed it
As someone named after their father, it’s more of a thing of love and being close to your son.
@@JubbJubb_ I think that's fair, if it doesn't hinder your sense of individuality then that's great.
Yeah people name their kids after themselves because of legacy, too. It’s cool when your parent made a mark in this world and you’re that person’s spawn
@@KDBetter makes sense, probably didn't click with me because I'm not the biggest fan of my parents
@@Wynnie1121 fair. A lil sad but definitely fair 🫶🏽
I think Skyler is actually a very well written and disagree with your point there. You can say she kinda is molded to the plot but they still manage to keep her believable. She's trapped in an extremely traumatic and complicated situation and doesn't know what to do a lot of the time. Oftentimes she just tries to make the best of a situation she feels like she can't escape. People in real life aren't consistent or one thing and that's what Breaking Bad and BCS do really well imo
yes it’s like, very clear she absolutely hates walter all throughout after finding out, and only went along with helping out because she feared the safety of her kids, the amount of people that don’t see that genuinely scares me.
I always thought that as Skylar got more hints of what Walt was capable of (especially her putting two and two together that Walt killed Gus / the prison murders), she was afraid of Walter killing her if she tried to escape or tell anyone. I thought her back and forth-ness with Walt was actually pretty realistic for a person in that kind of scenario.
I'd hope bro understands that eventually
She is undeniably the best character after jesse and walter
plus walter said he had already made house payments with the money. if he was caught the govt would've taken everything from them and they'd be homeless (like how skylar, flynn, and holly are living in the finale). She was trying to protect herself and her kids from being homeless
One of my favorite parts I never hear mentioned is in Bullet Points, when Walt and Skyler are practicing the act to tell hank and Marie about the “gambling.” Walt doesn’t wanna act too apologetic. Then he finally says “I’m sorry. For all of this.” And Skylar thinks for a second he’s actually apologizing but then he goes “how’s that. Seem believable?” Pretty devastating
I fucking LOVE that scene. It's so funny, and ends on this sad note.
It was low-key baffling to hear this guy call the scene boring lol
Love that moment, where you think Walt has gone off “script” and is being real/selfless.. nope! Hits hard every time.
I feel like Skyler is written like that because she actually doesn’t know what to do being in that type of situation she doesn’t want the family to be ruined further but also doesn’t want to be near him
I feel like a lot of men don’t understand the actual horror story skylar is living in. Makes me feel like most fans don’t get an accurate view of the show at all :/
@@zooweemama4203 i know right, everyone calls her obnoxious and bitchy, but put yourself in her shoes, can you blame her?
@@tobipickle Yeah, only valid reasons to dislike Skylar imo are her weird tendencies for new age stuff and all that from the first episode. She didn't make a good impression on me there, but thorough the series? Yeah she doesn't deserve any of that, I can't even imagine having to deal wiith this kind of a horror.
@@zooweemama4203 I agree to a point, until she actually gets involved with the business, she really grinds the story to a holt and since she is committing Crimes now, I am can't even say I feel that bad for her anymore, like she had a chance to redeem herself in season 5 but nope. She isn't horrible or anything, just one of the lesser aspects of the show
@@FriendlyArin can you tell me what you would’ve done in her situation? Please do tell me how she could have easily gotten out of everything safely without complying to and helping Walt. Rewatch the show
For Skylar's bimbo plot, she basically made the guy believe everything was wrong because Ted hired some woman he banged who had no qualifications and she messed up the books rather than him doing it intentionally. It didn't get them off the hook but it gave them more time to come up with the money that was owed.
Also I think Jesse remembering Gale more than that cartel guy makes a lot of sense as Gale was defenseless and meant Jesse no harm whereas the Cartel guy was actively trying to shoot him.
Rabid dog logic he used. He killed a puppy who did nothing to him, not one who was actively biting him.
Also, Gale was his first kill. Sure, he was going to kill the gang members an episode prior, but they killed Tomás so Jesse’s sympathy was limited for them.
By far my favorite episode has always been Crawl Space. On first viewing I had never seen such an anxiety inducing episode quite like that one and it's always stuck with me. So many things are culminating at once and by the end of the episode it's almost in full blown horror territory. I think the only other episode I could compare it to is Plan and Execution from BCS. Full Measure is also close. One thing that I found surprising about your list was your placement of Granite State, it's definitely within my top 10 episodes
Yea I was 13 and at my uncles house at 10pm I was watching crawl space, I only remember those details cause I was so scared lol
Me too.
Fun Fact: Bryan Cranston has a Breaking Bad tattoo on his ring finger.
Kid named Bryan
I think he has another tattoo of the quote ''no more half measures''
Kid named married
@@RadioactiveMooMoo aaron paul got that one
I know that.
One detail that I see some people get wrong is that Gonzo didn't die trying to hide No-Doze's body. He came back later that day to retrieve it to give it a proper burial, which he said thats what they should do to Tuco when he originally told him to hide it.
Ha! Good catch. I never thought too much on it at the time because his death just became a throwaway gag the way it was presented in the show and we're straight on to the tension build up after this that my thoughts didn't dwell long on this scene.
I gotta agree with "Face Off" being Number 1. The whole ending montage of Jesse and Walt burning down the lab, ending with this beautiful shot of Walt at the parking lot with the sunset in the background made me feel incredible joy. Walt and Jesse leaving on good terms with Brock pulling through just added to the joy I felt. Walt telling Skyler that they are safe and that he won was just the crowning satisfaction.
I sat there thinking: "Yes Walt! You won! I love you man!"
I was not once thinking about the bad shit that Walter did during this whole episode. I was just glad that he, Jesse and Walter´s family were safe.
This peak satifaction then gets interrupted by the Lily of the Valley next to Walter´s pool, which in one last scene with emotional music playing recontextualizes the last two episodes and Walt´s character. Ironically I was not even mad at Walt at his moment. I remember feeling even more satisfaction, becuase I was instantly thinking on a meta level: "Holy shit, this show is so incredibly well written".
"Ozymandias" made me feel peak distress and "Face Off" made me feel peak satisfaction.
you aren't meant to feel satisfaction with ozymandias
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj he said ozymandias made him feel peak distress, not satisfaction.
Agree, it's def my favorite episode in the show
Yea, this is one of the only happy episodes.
I don’t think any tv show beside this one has a memorable and important moment in every single episode this just shows how amazing this show truly is
my guy just summarized 60+ hrs of TV in a single film's runtime.
ayyyy appreciate it :)
This is the moment Sourcebrew became Heisenberg. Bravo Vince
Reasonably
I think this list proves how great breaking bad actually is. Every single episode has a somewhat iconic scene which makes each one memorable
Something I want to add about not knowing why Jesse got close with Mike, is that Jesse is just inherently trusting and kind. Throughout the show Jesse allows himself to get close to Walt whose literal introduction to Jesse is “cook meth with me or I tell the DEA what you’ve done”
One of the craziest things I realized while watching this is that, barring the top percentage **incredible** episodes that would happen occasionally, I hardly ever noticed episode quality. Where I'm saying "oh, this episode was better than the last two" or "that was a strong string of episodes." Even if under analysis like this video is you can come up with rankings, I think it speaks to the show's quality that I was so engrossed in the story due to how well they handled every aspect of production. I had no concern with even **thinking** about quality on an episode by episode basis.
(spoiler alert for the whole show lol) I never got the impression that Skyler was wishy-washy myself. From the moment she finds out about Walt, her main goal has been protecting the kids from the dangers that come with Walt being a drug dealer as well as from the truth, seeing as how it does eventually completely rend their family when it comes out. She initially tries forcing him out, but without being able to tell and him calling her bluff she's forced to go along. Helping Walt not getting caught keeps them kids from finding out, and when she feels like the kids are in particular danger she will go to extremes to get them out of the house without letting anyone know about the Walt stuff.
This is an extremely minor detail I never see anyone mention:
In Felina when meeting Jack's gang, Walter is wearing the same outfit he wore when he first met Jesse to cook.
skyler laundering money wasn't a favour for walt, it was necessary to keep herself out of prison and prevent flynn and holly from being motherless. i don't see how that makes her wishy washy
Honestly, I think this guy missed a few things about this show. He says Walter was cut out from Grey Matter even though he left the company on his own. He says Gus killed Victor for no reason even though he did it because Victor was seen at Gale's apartment. He thinks Walter let Jane die because he was looking out for Jesse. And he seems to think Walter and Jesse were friends.
@Cluck Bucketz yeah, I'm at the beginning of the video and there are already bad takes, like when he says the cringe speech Walter gives at the school "shows how much humanity he lost", when it's obviously his guilt over what happened causing him to try and rationalize/minimize it. Guilt is also the reason he tried burning his money and he didn't seem to understand that either
@@toiletseat777e also seems to think that it's outlandish for Jack to want to continue cooking after getting the seventy million dollars. I don't know, a drug kingpin wanting more money doesn't seem that farfetched to me. Also, I don't think Skyler trying to drown herself was a ploy to get Hank and Marie to take the kids.
Another meaning behind the finale being called Felina is a reference to an old Marty Robbins song called “El Paso”. The song is about a cowboy who falls in love with a woman named Felina who works at a saloon. The cowboy ends up murdering a man in a duel over his love for Felina and is forced to flee to avoid being arrested. However, after being gone from his love for a while, he decides it’s better to be dead than without his love for the rest of his life, so he returns back to El Paso but is shot by lawmen. In his dying moments Felina finds him and holds him in her arms. The episode is analogous to the song, with the main character being Walt, Walt’s greed and love of power, money, and meth making being represented in Felina, and Hank’s death being similar to the man the cowboy killed over his love for Felina, which forced him to flee. You can even say the cowboy dying in Felina’s arms is similar to Walt dying with a smile in a meth lab for a final time.
The song even plays in the episode
Listen in defense of Andreas little brother being the one who shot combo: it’s not far fetched that a boy who ended up running with gangs had an older sister who abused drugs and ended up in focus groups
Yeah, that makes perfect sense
The saddest moment in the entire show is when Walt doesn’t let Bogdan keep his first dollar. Literally my heart broke first watching that and it just broke again. Bogdans expression is soul crushing :(((
Should've taken his eyebrows instead
I think the saddest moment in the entire show is when Walt didn't go go-karting with Jesse. That was the moment Walt truly became Heisenberg, an evil and completely irredeemable monster.
It's one of the more based things he's done
And then he bought a Coke with the money. What a advertisement XD
Is no one gonna talk about that being pretty much a SpongeBob reference?
Depressed Jesse makes sense considering the timeline of the show. Depression doesn’t go away quickly & with who he is & everything that has happened him being depressed is logical
Abq local here! Just wanted to chime in that although abq is not a small town, I’ve always described it as the biggest small town. Everyone kinda knows everyone somehow and it often feels like you’re one or two people away from having met someone in your life lol I think it’s because abq doesn’t have a whole lot to do so we all inevitably kinda do the same things and end up in similar places maybe? Although either way I don’t suspect the writers knew this when writing the show
Finally, after better call saul's rank I've been looking forward to this one
Finally someone who appreciates season 5a, i love the walt-jesse-mike dynamic so much.
Fly being above peekaboo is insane to me
Peekaboo is my least favoured episode tbh.
Loved this video!! Here's my top 10:
10. Pilot
9. Grilled
8. Fly
7. End Times (Underrated asf!! glad you put it so high!)
6. 4 Days Out
5. Box Cutter (This is the best premire for any season of television ever.)
4. Felina
3. Face Off
2. Crawl Space
1. Granite State (purely because of that incredible ending. I will never forget how it made me feel when I first watched it.)
Something I realized that I didn’t in my first watch through is that, although dying in the end, Walt WON. He came back to Albuquerque after escaping New Hampshire Police and tied up every loose end he could. He thoroughly outplayed everyone in every sense of the matter and saved Jesse, his family, and pretty much everyone else still alive while also dispatching everyone who was a threat to the prior. Easily my favorite show.
Yeah he did tie up all the loose ends, but Walt never really “won” since he lost himself and everyone who loves him in the process. He dies lonely by succumbing to self inflicted wounds surrounded by his passion. His goals were carried out by destroying all evils in his life, including himself
@@Spagbolisnotme he won because his original goal was met
@@Spagbolisnotme The show makes it clear that Walt doesn't care about his loved ones as much as he says he does. What he truly cares about is exerting power over others, and he certainly succeeded in doing that. To him, his family hating him is okay as long as he gets to be the man. He did win.
In our timeline Walt wins even if he dies.
The fact that he managed to accomplish everything he set out to do once he decided to not put himself as the top priority could also be seen as a way to portray how efficient and successful Walt could have been, if he was less obsessed with appeasing his own ego. Humble Walt is OP, God had to nerf him.
Completely agree with Face/Off at number one and especially with the statement that Fring had become seemingly invulnerable at this point.
I remember rewatching F/O with my brother who was watching it for the first time and when Gus gets out of the car to get to the nursing home, my brother casually said "oh so that’s when Gus dies". I was shocked and enraged. How did he dare being Doylist at a moment like that?
Me, when Gus came out with one half of his face blown off, I was still sure he was gonna survive somehow until the radio announced otherwise.
Personally 4 Days Out is my favourite episode
It has classic Jesse lines like “ahh wire” or a robot
It has a great cook sesh
Walt solves the battery problem with his chemistry genius (I think this is an aspect that was lost later in the show)
Then it has the series changing reveal that walt is actually in remission and he is stuck in this life of crime he’s created
My Top 5 is
#5: Say My Name (S5E7)
#4: Face Off (S4E13)
#3: Ozymandias (S5E14)
#2: Granite State (S5E15)
#1: Felina (S5E16/Finale)
I made an entire list but I doubt I’ll end up sending the whole list
I love the episode where Walter says “I guess we’ve been breaking bad all along Jesse I think we better call Saul”
Its a little stupid to say that skylar has writing issues because her behavior is completely normal in such a bizarre and horrifying situation. It was pretty clear that she hated walt the entire time, but was trying to make the best out of it. Jesse trusting mike was because of his nature as a person, and he want to have someone to trust, and he clearly cant do that with walt
Also walt wasnt cut out of the company, he left because his felt inferior to gretchen, showing his egotistical nature
Also ur clearly hating skylar subtly dude😭😭 its not a good color on u
sourcebrew youre the best, i love listening to your videos while i play skyrim/witcher/minecraft
Fun Fact: The description says the word “Jesse” 3 times.
My top 5 Breaking Bad episodes are:
5. End Times
4. 4 Days Out
3. Ozymandias
2. Face Off
1. Felina
Also I just wanted to say that I think Fifty-One is very underrated, it’s in my top 15 episodes and my second favorite of Season 5A after Dead Freight. The parallels it has with Pilot as well as the beautifully tragic pool scene make for a very gripping tale of Skyler trying to save her children in a desperate gamble to get them away from Walt.
Ikr Fifty One is a really underrated episode
the cod zombies and re4 reference was amazing. literally 2 titles i grew up playing 24/7
I think the reason Gus killed Victor was because he left his car and was seen at the crime scene, so he was a liability to Gus
I don't really think that Walt surviving and being offered a barrel makes no sense. It is unlikely, yes, but Todd does have a huge amount of respect for Walt, because throughout their time working together, he can read that Walt didn't *really* mind Drew being shot, that Walt actually wants to teach, and that he is an excellent manipulator and great kingpin. Todd has respect for him because he wants to be him, and so him talking Jack out of killing Walt and even leaving him a barrel still makes sense to me.
This show was so amazing bro
and that’s underselling it
1. Face off
2. Ozy
3. Grilled
4. Half measure
5. Crawl space
@@Cor214 Lol i hope one day you mature and realize that out of a 62 episode series people are going to have different opinions on a top 5. A reaction like that to a fictional series is CRAZY lmao
Finally. So many bcs rankings and no bb rankings! Praise you changing that
Really liked your list, I would just have put 4 days out in my top five, easily my favorite episode from seasons 1/2
im glad you put season 1 first episodes pretty high they were so good and underapriciated
Im surprised you never mentioned the jesse and kid scenes in peekaboo.i think it deserves a significantly higher rating just for those scenes.especially the last scene in the episode
What was the last scene?
@@JKBDTS the one where he tells him to have a good life and it ends with the police sirens with the credits
Skyler (and generally other addicts on television) flush toilets/drugs/whatever the object of their addiction is instead of "just throwing it out like a normal person would" because when you flush it it become unusable. You can take cigarettes out of the trash, you can't take toilet water out of your cigarettes.
I only just started this show last week and I've already finished it. It was impossible to stop once I started and I think its a true testament to how well this show is written, even when I wasn't watching I was thinking about it constantly. Part of me wants more from these characters even after Better Call Saul and El Camino but I'm glad the writers knew when to call it, it all wrapped up perfectly and will stand the test of time of one of the greatest TV series of all time.
I agree, face off is the number 1 for me all the way, that scene with Hector and Gus never fails to make me drop a couple tears
3:33
i dont think the scene was supposed to be interpreted that way, i always interpreted it as Walt feeling really guilty over and it and trying to downplay the severity of the plane crash, and feel less responsible.
I feel like im, suprisingly, in the minority based off of the comments when i say i honestly liked Ozymandias the most. Episodes like Face Off, Felina, and Crawl Space are still top, top tier for sure, but i feel like Ozymandias is just so iconic and is arguably the lowest point for everyone in the series. Hank is dead, Jesse is being tortured and kept only as a meth slave, Walter lost his family as they all turned against him, every main character from this point on is mentally fucked. It's both a sad and honestly disturbing episode, and something that it felt like the series was building up to forever.
Ozymandias is my number two. I think some episodes just speak to people more or less than others. For example, I would rank Face Off significantly lower than others, not because it's bad, but because episodes like Felina just get me more. Ozymandias is generally considered the best episode of the show, so people are more likely to speak up if they feel like they are adding something new rather than just repeating what's already been said
Shotgun is one of my favorites! I love the visuals of a bored Jesse and calm Mike
My top five in no particular order are
1. Face off
2. Ozymandiz
3. 4 day cook out
4. The fly
5. Better Call Saul
My top 3 is:
1: Felina
2: Dead Freight
3: Confessions
Season 5 is a masterpiece
Breaking bad was definitely ground breaking TV, i never thought better call saul would live up to it but i always find myself rewatching it more. Such an amazing universe the producers and writers built
55:21
if hank told the dea that walt was heisenberg, he would have been fired from his job for having heisenberg (his own brother in law) be under his nose for so long
basically like george merket, who was fired due to gus being under his nose for so long
This is a legendary video… I can’t even comprehend how much time and work it took to make. Thank you. Liked and subbed
"Roomba, which I didn't know existed back then" I have never felt older with one sentence
I LOVED when he rescued Jessie he used his brain I hate that one of the bullets hit home but it was a good gesture he got there right in time
Hell yeah it’s here this awesome man! Gonna be a great video I watched a bit and I’m saving the rest for after work
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love a breeaking bad/Better call saul ranking video :D
Your list is exactly how I myself would rank the episode but Granite State moves to #1. Great work
"Escorting the girl you like through a field or recently-made corpses". Lolol.
Felina is also the name of the Marty Stewart song that plays in the finale.
I have a hot take regarding Gale "not deserving any of this." As you noted earlier in the video during the ATM episode, we see directly what kind of impact meth has on the people who use it. This is a guy not only complicit in that, but actively pushing the boundaries on purity to make more addicting product. He willingly signed up for this knowing the dangers it brought and the misery it wrought. I think the show does a FANTASTIC job of eliciting sympathy, but that it's actually quite deceptive and similar to most people siding with Walt through to the middle/late stages of the series.
Top 5
1. Felina
2. Face Off
3. Ozymandias
4. Better Call Saul
5. Say My Name
48:00
two reasons, first one is that victor stepped out of line by starting to cook, and the second reason, is that victor was spotted at the crime scene, gus was just tying up loose ends. victor just made too many mistakes
I just want to say great work. This was incredible
I started watching the show June 23rd 2022 and finished it July 10th 2022, it was that awesome

I don't know why I was so surprised when he actually said "Negro y Azul". Great video.
I disagree with you saying that Skylar is smoking 'just to have her own secret' I think it's just the amount stress she is under
Shotgun being last place: You are not the guy. You have never been the guy. I had a guy. Now I don't. *You. Are not. The guy.*
Walt wasn't cut out he left because he was insecure about how rich gretchens family
Shotgun being the weakest, I did not see that one coming
Yo, I love you bro. Never stop making content.
You put Shotgun last yet only made me like it more by listing off all that happened in it lmao.
The goat, been hoping you’d make this!
The reason why Skyler is so "wishy-washy" is because she is torn between still loving and caring for Walt while at the same time being scared of him and wanting to leave/escape him. The writing on Skyler is very well done and showcases how an abusive relationship functions and why the abused so often still stays with the abuser. Yes, Walt never outright directly abuses her, but as showcased in the episode where the Salamanca twins sit in Wlats bedroom, he puts the family (and himself) in great danger and Skyler being the smart woman she is, knows that (of course not the twins being in their home but she knows that drug dealing can be fatal for the family). If you look at Walts actions from a more realistic angle and detach yourself from the "coolness" of the Heisenberg character, the only reason why he is alive for so long is BECAUSE it is a tv show, in reality, he would be murdered immediately and put his family on the line. And I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I mean making everything 100 % realistic is super boring, and that's why we even engage in media, but Skyler is a character that grounds Walt and directly confronts his Ego, that's exactly why she slept with Ted, to break walts ego and make him leave, even though in the episode she obviously does not want to sleep with him. In my opinion, Skyler together with Hank are the best-written characters in BB, because both of them contrast and antagonize Heisenberg! in a very unique way. And being this antagonistic force towards Heisenberg while still loving Walt, that in the end loses to Heisenberg and basically becomes his hostage, is what makes Skyler for many viewers such a pain in the ass and appearing "unfocused".
I loved this show so much that I watched this whole video without skipping and I still knew every episode and iconic moment he was talking about. Brilliant
Love the comedy in the rankings and very know about the subject, favorite breaking bad ranker just off this one video top quality
Glad to see dead freight rated so highly, is definitely my favorite. Feels perfectly paced.
Albuquerque might not be a small town but I imagine those invested in hard core drugs/in the criminal underworld is a very small percentage, so in that way it makes sense
Also saying Lydia was showing humanity by not wanting to see it is not true when she’s the reason that they’re dead, just makes her more repulsive and cowardly
27:40 Did know one else catch how he said negro y azul? 😅
Yeah bro like it’s Spanish 😭

Although we all hate Skyler, i still think its very sad that Huell ate her left leg at the end of the show
In Thirty-Eight Snub, Mike did not stop Walter in his tracks, it was Tyrese, but after that scene Mike is at a bar where he called Walter (?) to come to, and have a talk. Now that scene of Walter getting the phone call is considered a Mandela Effect, since alot of people think it's Mike who called Walter at that exact scene.
59:03 hearing this without vine boom sound effects feels so empty
Face Off is also my favorite episode, and I feel like it's weirdly underrated for just how good of an episode it is.
I'm currently doing an experiment on my girlfriend by showing her bcs first and then bb and seeing if that makes bb vastly more enjoyable with all the extra back story.
My top 5:
1. Felina
2 . Ozymandias
3. Face off
4. Dead freight
5. Granite state
I salute you for being able to create a list. Every episode you show is like "oh wait this episode is good!" . It must be hard creating this video lol
One of the only things here that I personally disagree with is that one episode where Jesse gets revenge on the two meth heads who stole the ATM. That’s always been like a top 15 episode for me, especially Jesse’s interactions with the kid and stuff.
This video was awesome though! Really nice breakdown of all the episodes and great justifications for your rankings.
Appreciate you giving Crawl Space the love it deserves. One of my all time favorite episodes.
you say that as if it’s underrated or something. everyone knows it’s a masterpiece already bro 🤡
@@iiyeyitosii8523 You'd be surprised at how many people I've seen write off the episode saying "it's only good because of the last scene"
But I agree, it is a masterpiece frfr
@@BeatRiceIsHereFair enough my friend didn’t mean to be rude the first time
@@iiyeyitosii8523 all good my guy
