Kinda the whole point. He’s a dead man walking from cancer if somehow he beats the cancer he is a top 10 most wanted criminal who will have to be in hiding for the rest of his life. If he gets caught he spends the rest of his life in prison. Any which way he’s fucked.
Naw, most people aren’t criminals Edit: for all the MORONS talking about how Walt “found something he was good at”, did you forget he had a PhD in Chemistry (or pharmacology) and was once a co-founder of a biotech company (which he left for dumb reasons). If Walt wanted to “be good at something again”, then he should’ve joined a NEW biotech company and started over again, instead of becoming a science teacher.
This is the kind of shit that hits back home for many people. Living without knowing what you’re actually good at, what is your purpose, is almost a curse.
I know it's been years, but man. No other crime/drama series has ever come close to this show. The originality, the acting, the highs and the lows, I don't think anything could ever compete.
@Thomas dxb Also after Jesse and the gasoline. Once they're in the hotel and he's alone with her (knowing she already didn't buy it the first time) he just tells it like it is.
@Thomas dxb That was the time Walter was about to return to normal and live decently, until Hank discovered the truth and all quickly spiraled out to disaster.
Walt was celebrating his 50th birthday at the beginning of the series, in this video he just celebrated his 52nd birthday. What a difference 2 years make.
As a father, this is absolutely heartbreaking seeing him stroking his daughters hair for the last time, realizing everything that he had given up because of his poor choices.
It is funny how people hate her character who was just a frustrated emotionally abused cheating wife of a seriously sociopathic drug lord murderer who was about to die.. more than walter white who was the seriously sociopathic hyper-egoistic drug lord mass murderer that had a kill count of hundreds and also tried to kill a kid to meet his agendas Woman hate is real in our society
Technically he didn’t lie, he just didn’t tell her about him blackmailing Gretchen and Elliot. When he said “I spent the last of it getting here”, that was technically the truth.
Walter’s admission that he did it for himself is so clarifying. Saying “I did it for the family” over and over ties those responsibilities to Skyler and Flynn, even if Skyler had a slight hand in Walt’s game. Walter finally gave Skyler freedom from that responsibility. The killings, the drugs, the backstabbings and betrayals. He came to tell her that it wasn’t her fault.
@@martinm.1967 it’s not her fault Walter got kicked out of Grey Matter, or where he ended up. She did the best she could, even after finding out he was a fucking meth dealer and a murderer she stuck by him. Skyler gets a lot of hate she doesn’t deserve. Which is weird because there’s a lot of actual good reasons to dislike her.
@@thisaccountnameiscompletel8949 She only got upset when she lost her emotional control over Walt. She even worked with him at one point just so she could control what he was doing. Skylar sucked. Bitch smoked while pregnant and smoked right next to her daughter in the house. She only cared about control. At some point so did Walt. But he was just good at it. They are both narcissists skylar just manipulates in different ways. She’s lucky Walt didn’t blow his fucking head off a long time ago out of frustration.
Anna Gunn is such an amazing actress. Her expression is a mix of anger at Walt for everything he’s done, grief over Hank, and probably also some sadness from realizing that’s the last time she’ll ever see Walt.
I especially like those subtle movements she does when he tells her 'I did it for me', like that head tilt and her eyes just barely widening; the surprise felt genuine
its even sadder when you realize that skyler didn't do the traditional birthday breakfast thing on walt's final birthday, so walt had to do it by himself.... ;_;
@@shadowboy2818 lol she did not even give it do him on his 50's birthday before all that. She is that kind of demon, that breaks human and tell "look what you have become".
@@EatTheAssPork Dude, that Guy willingly poisened a kid and made a Teenager kill another Man. Walt deserved everything that came to him the same way he deserved his revenge on the World. Eye for an Eye.
@@ahabduennschitz7670 Dude, I'm not saying he's a good guy or anything like that. I'm just saying it was a sad scene. Think I'm not aware of the bad shit he did? Think I never said "wow Walt was a piece of shit for doing that"?
Skylar was a POS. Least liked character on Breaking Bad. She's the reason it took me a year to even finish this series. She really kills the show and constantly reminds us of the fact that some women are dirty POS.
@@BIG-ASS-HANDLEimagine watching this show and thinking she’s the bad guy 😂😂 She made idiotic choices for sure but Walt is by far a bigger POS. Walt is one of the biggest scumbags on the show and considering some of those characters, that’s saying a lot. He did the things he did for himself, not his family. He says that in this very scene ffs. The disproportionate hatred of the character of Skyler White constantly reminds us the world is still incredibly misogynistic. The creator of the show was shocked and disgusted by how ridiculous and misogynistic people were in their hatred of her.
It is funny how people hate her character who was just a frustrated emotionally abused cheating wife of a seriously sociopathic drug lord murderer who was about to die.. more than walter white who was the seriously sociopathic hyper-egoistic drug lord mass murderer that had a kill count of hundreds and also tried to kill a kid to meet his agendas Woman hate is real in our society
Doesn't matter what they think. It matters what they can prove. Anyway she is not going to win friends by blackmailing them for a dead cop's body. Especially one that was her friend.

@@marcotmelendez727 The Dr. Grande video on Breaking Bad explains pretty well exactly why he is. Posted from the description. "Narcissistic Personality Disorder criteria 1. Grandiose sense of importance 2. Grandiose fantasies 3. Special, “high-status” 4. Requires excessive admiration 5. Sense of entitlement 6. Interpersonally exploitative 7. Lacks empathy for others 8.

@@otomicans6580 that video is only jumping on the bandwagon and saying what everyone else is saying. He doesnt know what a really narc is. Dang near everybody around Walt was one.
There’s something so bittersweet of seeing two people who fell in love, had a family, and grew it into a toxic relationship. Finally reconcile because, after all that happened, the truth came out. And even if it was a selfish truth, it was a freeing one. Skyler may not love Walt anymore. And Walt may not love her. But they finally understand each other. And that’s better than any, ‘Goodbye’.
walter may not love her? after all shit he done its stupid to love her. she literally cheated on him and gave all of his money to Ted and smoked while being pregnant. he has every right to hate her.
@@user-ey1sf6fy3f The point isn’t whose the worst person. The point is that it’s sad their family got torn apart. And it’s a good thing they reconciled in the end.
@@rottrott9225 it's of course skylar fault. she toke the kids from walt cheated on him and then sent them to hank. imagine if she could keep her mouth shut for a minute.
@@user-ey1sf6fy3f you're either undergoing puberty and you're starting to be cool n edgy or you didnt watch the show Walter White is a murderer, a drug dealer, he's also narcissistic and greedy, the only good thing about him is that he cared about his family in the beggining, but after a while it stopped being about the family, it started being all about him, just like he admits in this scene.
@@FoxyGamerLx it's edgy to think a cheater is a bad person? walter didn't kill a single innocent person unless you're sad that he killed gus or krazy 8. seem like you're in your villain arc lol. no shit Sherlock did you figure out that walter is drug dealer by yourself? and saying walt is a narcissistic misses the point of the show. who saved jesse? who would risk his life for another person is a narcissistic person. and he would stop drug dealing if skylar didn't cheat and send all of his money to Ted. you're probably undergoing puberty and simping for skylar by hating walt
@@neilafierce333 Well, he gave his last 10 million dollars (or something less) to Gretchen and Elliot. And the few bucks he still had probably went to the machine gun. I doubt he lied her again.
It's actually unclear whether he was actually being honest. Maybe he really did do it for the family, but he realized that no one would beleive him so he was forced to say that he did it for himself
He did do it for them though. And himself. But if he died of cancer and his family was buried in debt...that's not what he wanted when he first got the cancer
The truly tragic and somewhat bittersweet aspect of this scene is that in their final moments of ever seeing each other, Walt and Skyler seem to really grow to understand one another. There was imagery before showing a divide between them, but after the scene with Holly it was just the two of them, nothing between them, finally understanding one another but knowing that it's too late to go back. What an absolute masterpiece.
Some of the most bittersweet things that exist are realizations that had people made different choices, had anyone stopped, had people noticed the signs saying "no return", things might've gone differently maybe even turned good. But people continue trudging forward toward their ambition justifying their "means" with their "end" while not acknowledging what the means are turning them into. And thus we walk the road to hell, painting and paving our path with good intentions but the bricks are formed in corruption. I think Breaking Bad's awesome because it acknowledges just how evil anybody can be. If we all made the same choices Walt did in the face of hardship we would become this person and that is a possibility. In light of that, in some ways it is remarkable that we don't let our impulses completely guide us day to day and the good that that allows us to put in the world by avoiding chaos that would otherwise be sown by our impulsive action. To be remembered seems good but to have a legacy of doing good is far better even if it doesn't mean you are lauded and remembered.
@@gellister This was proved by Better Call Saul's latest episode, Heisenberg was not a character this whole time, he was a concept, that lives in all of us, he is the pure definition of "breaking bad" as an action.
That’s why anybody turns to a life of crime. Regardless of whatever other reasons/excuses people make for their actions, Walter White’s words ring the ultimate truth for them all: “I did it for me” “I liked it. I was good at it. And...I was Alive.” It’s not a morally or legally acceptable reason, but at least it’s the HONEST TO GOD TRUTH!!!
the last episode made it feel like i was saying goodbye to a great friend who was there for me through thick and thin. fun fact: the coordinates walt gives to skyler is actually the studio where breaking bad was filmed.
Sequel: Skyler goes to investigate the coordinates herself to say goodbye to Hank before making the trade with the DEA. She arrives at a studio where Vince Gilligan is shooting "El Camino". Realizes she is a fictional character in a TV universe, and descends into madness.
@@joeyrozic1100 except there will still be meth, just not as good quality, the world is the same, like before episode 1 of season 1, you know crime-free utopia.... people that think walt was so bad, he was nothing compared to the cartel, the neo-nazis, etc, You can credit the disappearance of walt that led hank to kill tuco, himself for the death of gus and some of his men, jacks gang and a bunch of other rats. It was not his fault andrea, scooter kid or the plane crash people died, the truly innocents. the rest were in the game that I can remember. He got to live a little and make some money, he also saved jessie when he didn't need to
Imho she was good from the beginning. At the start she was just mildly obnoxious but supportive wife, slowly becoming a suspicious and confused wife. Then knowing, stressed out wife trying to protect the family, a co-partner in crime and then broken person who doesnt know how to get out of the mess ... and she was great at every character phase.
This scene was like a relief from emotional constipation. Skyler still holds so much anger for Walt but she’s so relieved that he’s finally being honest with her after all this time. She almost lets the anger go until she remembers how much of a monster he is and that her daughter is doomed to grow up without a father.
You tried to enter on this comment trend of dissecting stuff but you completely failed at it. It's not represented here a moment where she remembers the monster he is, if anything it's her looking at him with Holly and having her heart broken remembering how regardless of everything that he did, the kids were always the best thing that he had
@@Hans-yo2cq she is not the reason he became Heisenberg. Years of frustration about his deprived job at grey matter and his nihilism created him, and acted as a vessel for Walter to become what he wanted to be without constraints.
@@Hans-yo2cq Sure blame the wife, nice going. You failed to understand the entire show, did you even pay attention to the conversations? He was fucked over at the Grey Matter job which could've made him millions, his unrewarding job as a teacher, his cancer, the U.S. healthcare system, and so much else but sure, the wife if the problem lol
He didn’t have a loyal fam that backed him. They were always out for their own selfish controlling behavior. Loyalty was broken from the beginning and you can put that shit on Walter having such low self esteem and confidence for himself that he became a pushover until he came down with a death sentence. He became a man when it was time to go and make accomplishments gaining a reputation. For the wrong ass reasons but a rep no less, he was being FEARD by mfers.
@@dylancollins8117 right, you can also argue he started cooking meth because he felt pathetic about himself, he didn't want to be a "burden" on his family, he always felt like he wasn't enough..
1:04 "That's where they'll find Hank and Steve Gomez" this damn impactful line followed by Anna Gunn's masterclass acting of sorrow and upset, this is just... *INCREDIBLE* . I don't think any series can ever match such heights of significance.
I know some people hate the character Skylar, but I hope we all agree that Anna Gunn is just a brilliant top tier actress. Her screams in Ozymandias still haunt me when I think about them
When he says "I did it for me," she untenses her shoulders. Totally fucking awesome acting by Anna Gunn. It's not possible that that was directed. She looks as light as a feather after he was finally honest with her.
@@sandroxino Interesting to think of, but they just never talked honestly about why he did what he did. He owed her honesty for a long time, and he finally paid up.
Omg I have never noticed that before! Seeing her go from being confident, independent, and in control in the first few seasons compared to the last two, and especially this episode, is truly sad.
At 3:17 hearing the pain in his voice when he says “can I see her” knowing that is the final goodbye to a daughter he never could raise, such a heartbreaking scene
@@Watcherofprovidencebut this whole thing stared because he got cancer. Even if he didn’t do all the monstrous things that he did, Walt still would’ve died around this time
@@Watcherofprovidence I could be wrong but I really think post NH isolation Walt was a truly different person, he had an ego before but wasn't controlling or monstrous before the meth shit But it didn't really matter anyway
@@TheBfutgreg you are partially correct. Before the Meth, Walt was good man who wanted to make his family happy. The problem was he himself wasn’t happy and never learned to properly communicate his real feelings of inadequacies to them. The talking pillow scene definitely hits this home. When Walt says he needs ‘a choice’ Skyler’s response is simply to tell him to make the ‘right choice’ and that he is not the only one it affects. Walter wanted to FEEL alive rather than just ‘survive’ for two years. He hated the family dynamic he put himself in and wanted to feel important and powerful for the time he had left. He loved his family but he never really showed them his vulnerabilities and therefore was walked all over emotionally.
3:44 you can see Skyler looking at Walt like he is Walt. She finally sees him as her husband again and not Heisenberg, you can tell she wishes it was another way.
When i first watched this show, I couldn't stand her. The second time, I felt really bad for her. The third time, I was staring in awe at Anna Gunn's performance (alongside all the others, of course). The fourth, I concluded a once skeptical realization - that this is the greatest show ever written.
I feel bad for not liking her at certain points in the series - but at this moment, even Walt is honest with himself and her, and you can't not feel for her.
Everybody praises Bryan but Anna Gunn was the best part of this scene. Look at her eyes when Walt confessed... shit was so damn touching. Like she finally respected him for telling the truth for once. Incredible show.
FR! especially when she was staring at Walt when he was seeing Holly. Skyler's eyes are part of what makes this scene so good. there were enough emotions in her eyes that no words are needed anymore.
I wouldnt call it respect, its more like a weight was lifted off her shoulders, he finally said the thing that she knew was true, something she thought he’d never say, that this wasnt for the family, it was for him.
Ironically he still only told her what he wanted to hear. He legit was thinking of providing for his family when he started then only afterwards it became him sticking it to those that didnt respect him
Everybody praises him because he's great in a part that could very easily alienate viewers--and the show would've died. She gets less praise because it's a less-showy role. Yet without her as a norm to act against, his acting wouldn't be nearly as effective. It's the way of drama, not everyone gets the main tragic role.
“Flynn will be home soon” is a subtle, yet powerful statement. Walt jr no longer wishes to be related to his father, and reverts back to his nickname at the beginning of the series when he saw his father as a spineless “pussy” for not accepting treatment for his cancer. Did anyone else catch that?
The flynn plot point was going on through the entire series, he first went to flynn when his dad was a “pussy” then when he got respect for his dad again while skyler hated walt he got angry at her for using flynn and insisted he was called walter jr. Then when he moved in with hank, marie called him constantly flynn which he didnt try to correct as he was unsure of who is his father anymore and in the end he stayed as flynn as the truth about him finally came out. This is probably one of my favourite plot points
The moment before she says "Flynn will be home soon", and she's looking up at him, you can see love in her eyes again for just a second before she pushes it away. This scene gets me in so many ways.
@@foxygrin damn you might be right, that just adds to the heartbreak. She's told him to leave so many times before, but it's probably hard not to have that bittersweet nostalgia creep into your vision, blurring Heisenberg's form through tears; I think all she can see in that moment is Walt. I have no idea why I got all poetic there, I just wrote it and said "that's too decent to delete" so it's staying lol
And even if he did stay even if he did give the truth there’s no way his son would listen but I’m sure given time he will he will find out the full stories hopefully it could redeem a piece
I thought I was the only one that saw it, also when shes looking at him with the baby and suddenly she changes her expression again.. she's such a good actress.
3:31 this scene ! I was literally in tears because this scene was so so real . The way he was staring at her , it's was looking like that a real father is looking his daughter last time . I was just numb that time 🥺
I feel like Skyler's gaze at 3:44-3:48 tells a lot. You can see love, hate, empathy, "wishing it was another way", sadness, peace, realization, regret and everything Skyler went through with Walt is resumed in that look... The perfect goodbye.
There's also a slight lift of her left hand just after he's left the room. She wanted to reach out to him, to hold her husband...or perhaps for him to reach out to her....but she knew it could never happen. It didn't stop her wanting to and that hand lift, for me, holds so much weight.
“I was alive” Rewatching the first episode when no one’s listening in his class, Hank joking mostly at his expense(even throughout the series but you know the other side), his college friends making millions off his idea. Yes he did it for his family, but it definitely evolved into the power he always internally needed, even if it was the total wrong way of going about it, the whole “I felt alive” he didn’t feel happy, he was in control of his life with that power, but telling how he doesn’t say he was ever happy with his life at any point.
Just wanted to say, Walt’s failures in life until the diagnosis were still his fault. He missed the opportunities and messed them up due to his own ego. Especially gray matter. He literally messed that up cause he couldn’t bear the thought of the love of his life being as I resigned, capable and richer than hin
@@aryan7767 it makes you wonder how Walt ended up like that in the first place. It’s still an aspect of walt that’s never been elaborated on. I think the explanation of Walt simply having hereditary narcissism is a lame cop out based on what kind of character they were going for (complex character development and what not).
@@callinater6133 yeah, especially the monologue about his father which is the only meaningful time his parents and childhood is brought up. he saw his father die when hew as 6 from a termainal illness and with a single mother he 100% struggled financially and had to be the provider or at least a contributer at a younger age. which explains how he ties his own self worth and ego to a concept of being a financial provider for his family. note that its him that wants to earn that money, cause he HATES the fact that his father died and left them to fend for themselves
@@ezarrgames3108 Because the OP clearly stated a lie, that was what the “sorry” was for, because I presented a fact that clearly showed his comment was unbiased, specially since BCS is a show so closely related with BD. I really don’t see how you could have misinterpreted my comment.
@@PRubin-rh4sr I know it’s a joke but the guys right. There’s a reason why the director decided to put a wood pillar inbetween them as that conversation goes. He definitely could have just shot it at a different angle, but he chose that angle with the pillar for metaphorical reasons.
I was looking for a comment mentioning that shot. he is talking to skyler from the heart instead of the head for the first time since season one. he finally puts down the sword, but everything that transpired in the previous five seasons has barricaded him from ever returning to his former life. that wood is the DEA, skyler's fear of walt, jrs hatred of his dad, and hank's death all in a 2x4. crazy shit
In the alternate universe right after Walter made 80 million dollars and quit cooking he moved to Europe with his family and somehow beat the cancer. They lived happily for a while.
I disliked him when he poisoned Brock, but when he called Jesse and reasoned that he gave Brock just enough to make him sick but curable made me feel slightly convinced. Only then, I remembered when he was whistling away cooking the meth right after he told Jesse that Todd killing Drew Sharp was heartbreaking for him, just seemed like it wasn't at all. It's like a mix of feelings.
The more times I watch the show, the more I hate him. The first time I saw it, I rooted for walt basically the whole show. This last time I found myself realizing that walt fucked up everything he was involved in from the beginning.
Wow , I never thought of it that way .... He lived for a while , then went back to Walt , trying to gather what little Humanity was still left inside of him.. Skylers acting providing the evidence that he was finally being truthful again in the end .
There was sound, actually. Sound of traffic, that background noise, dubbed in b/c this was shot on a sound stage. It's brilliant, and shows Skyler lives in a cheap place in a not-so-good part of town.
I've heard people hated Skyler's character so much that they went on to hate the actress. That's honestly awful. Because she absolutely killed it in this role. So much raw emotion shown in just this one scene.
I hated her character, not the actress. If anything, I’d praise the actress for her stunning performance. If she can make the characters give us feel, then we already know she performed very well.
People hated Skyler because she was Walter's main foil. She was smart enough to see through his lies and to trust her own judgment over Walt's lies. If I were in her situation I definitely wouldn't have been all "supportive and 100% loving wife" if I'm lied to over and over again over major things, made to launder drug money, etc etc. Let's be real, if you hate her, you believed Walter's lies and you have at the very least a himt of misogyny. Yes, Skyler should've gone to Hank about the meth stuff, but it's not easy to just "go to the cops" on your dying husband whom you have two children with and whom you still have feelings for.
@@GalaxyGal- so in essence you’re a snitch running on emotions not loyalty! Most mob or drug lord wives or what have you know to to stfu and stay in your lane being the one who keeps the home and family full of solice and no grief. That’s the problem with most of these criminals and gf and end up having everyone take the fall. Stick with square dudes you can control 😂
"... I was alive." That was all that Walt wanted, from the very start of the show, he wanted to LIVE, and NOT SURVIVE anymore. Going all the way back to the convention scene in the first season. This is when Skylar was finally able to understand Walt. In a way, this was all some kind of real-life fever dream for him. When he even found out about his remission, he was probably even afraid to lose that life...
The first time you watch it, its easy to hate her because we see her as an obstacle to Walt - she's the naggy wife who keeps him down, even if he is doing reprehensible things. The second time you watch it, you realize she is a very flawed but very relatable GOOD character. That's part of the brilliance of the show, that it so perfectly manipulates us into cheering for and against the people whom we shouldn't. Anna Gunn played Skyler with perfection.
Its a strange thing to want the villian to win, but its a fear of many to know when you have to die. He knew it, he was too far gone, he would never see his family, never cook, never raise his kids. So one last goodbye felt like a goodbye to the audience as well and was a beautiful last scene with those two together
I watched the show before I had my daughter and again after she was born. BB and Sons of Anarchy are my favorite shows and both end with the main character having to say goodbye to their kids because they know the kids will be better off without them. The thought of saying goodbye to your child is just heartbreaking. And as much as I hated Walt the character, I still felt for him here because if he has one shred of good left in him he’s realizing as he touches his daughter for the last time that he gave up a lifetime of memories to be a meth cook. I also feel incredibly sad for Walt’s family, who had a good man but watched him transform into a monster because he felt wronged. Dude had a wife and 2 beautiful kids and didn’t realize how lucky he was.
No dramatic flashes, no random slow-motion, no intense reaction shots, no unnecessary sounds of shock, this is how you make a scene that feels real, not artificial.
Man I have a tiny daughter and his last little interaction with his child knowing he will die is the saddest thing a father can do. God bless all those men who did this and then went off to war and never returned. No matter who you are or what you’ve done, that love reigns eternal and I salute all fathers who never returned.
It is funny how people hate her character who was just a frustrated emotionally abused wife of a seriously sociopathic drug lord murderer who was about to die.. more than people hate walter white who was the seriously sociopathic hyper-egoistic drug lord mass murderer that had a kill count of hundreds and also tried to kill a kid to meet his agendas Woman hate is real in our society
@@truthh8597 lol people just find skyler’s character annoying, it has nothing to do with being a woman. Walter white isn’t praised as a hero. People know he isn’t good and I doubt any normal person would aim to be like him. His story, and his transformation is what gets praised the most. Not his actions.
Remember how way back in Season 2 Walt says, "There must be some combination of words that can make her understand...." - something to that effect. Well there are the words.
The way his eyes press close after that. its just like when you recount the best moment of your life, you close your eyes to make it clearer. Walt really was alive, and loved every second. It was a selfish joyride that led him here, but damn if he didn't have the time of his life.
Its heartbreaking to see how he ended up like this. He had cancer, and wanted to pay it on his own, without bothering or depending on anyone. That's what caused everything. Yes, he could have stopped many times and yes, he's guilty for everything. But the START wasn't for a bad reason, so it makes me sad.
Walt sees that he already had all the things that are truly important in life, it was right there all along and he didnt need any of the drug lord stuff to have it. Truly heartbreaking
That’s the saddest part of this. If I were Walt that would torture me the most. Saying goodbye to my little girl for the last time, knowing she’d grow up without a father and having to deal with who her father had been.
I like how BB is a study of toxic relationships - Walt and Jesse and Walt and Skyler. At the end Walt brings relief to both of them, but the damage has already become irreparable. Really meaningful for everyone that was in that kind of relationship and didn’t dare to speak out and let it go before things escalated.
I mean, if Walt hasn’t cooked meth, Skyler would be the bad one (which she is anyway tbh) and Walt would have suffered until he died. Must be fun playing a game where you can’t win
@@martinm.1967 Walt could've been happy with Gretchen if he'd just swallowed his pride and accepted that her family was rich. He could've still been happy with Skyler if he'd swallowed his pride, recognized her intelligence, and also taken Gretchen and Elliott's job offer and money. Walt's unhappiness is his own doing. He HAD to be "the man." This series is a critique of toxic masculinity. Only by controlling his pride is Hank able to see that Walt is Heisenberg and Walt's pride destroys the meth business in all of the southwest.
Really makes me wonder. would skyler ever tell the truth to her kids about what *really* happened? that he never killed hank, how he in the end despite ruining the family still saved their lives. I feel like she would grow tired of carrying the burden and eventually spill
@@plexyglass429 no he wouldn't, does it matter if he didn't kill Hank, Walt was directly responsible for his death. There's no way Flynn would ever forgive him
@@plexyglass429 in the end it was hank’s ego of walt being under his nose the entire time stopping him from taking him in which was ultimately the thing thats started the events of him eventually dying, but flynn would probably not care if hank’s ego was responsible
I prefer this channel to the official BB channel, because the official channel always ends each video with the BB theme which completely breaks the immersion of the scene. Thank you to the people who run this channel
It was always for Walter himself, he had other options, he could have worked for Elliot and make that money easy, he could have accepted the money they offered him as well It was his pride from the beginning that motivated him to do the things he did. He just always had the excuse that it was for his family, it never was.
The writing, acting and staging is so phenomenal, it’s hard to imagine that they’re actually on a set with crew and equipment all over the place. You really get the “fly on the wall” experience. Anna Gunn knocked it out of the park in this scene.
Watching him see his daughter before he leaves is a doozy to watch. You know he really loves her and wishes he could watch her grow. Man that’s gotta be tough.
I legit shed a tear at him finally being honest with himself. As a man I understand plenty of what he did and the pride he felt at being the best at something. This was amazing
I'm not saying he was right but there were a lot of factors people forget about. It's not like his marriage was great the entire time either. Again he wasn't right but I understand life driving a man to just want to satisfy his need to feel alive.
@@AownAli-xi8jq he didn't want honor. He had faced death and conquered it. Life after that was about finding himself. While he ended up making plenty of horrible decisions he actually LIVED instead of just existing. He went from mediocre professor to Drug Lord. Walter White was a nobody Heisenberg was the man.
I get it too. Honestly sometimes when you feel like your always eating last and then turn shit around and are the first one to eat, it can have an effect on you.
@@AownAli-xi8jq I agree just I simply stated I understand it. The scene and buildup to it were done masterfully. The fact we can have such a conversation about a 5 min scene in a tv show is cool.
I'll never understand why Skyler was so hated. In the beginning she was worried that her husband is hiding something from her even though she was worrying about his health day and night. Later she was petrified that if he gets caught her whole family will be in trouble and could ruin her children's lives. Then when he totally turned bad it took so much toll on her. Poor woman just got broke into million pieces.
She's an amazing character. But I think people didn't like her because of the early episodes with the talking pillow scene. She wanted Walt to live HIS life how SHE wanted to. Thank god he didn't but, I think that's why people started to hate on her. Right from the get go she was already portrayed as this manipulative wife. However, it could be something else lol. That's just why I started to dislike her.
She was just annoying. She was also a giant hypocrite, completely willing to play Bonnie to his Clyde and then turning around and acting like a victim when things got real. She was still a victim for the most part, but the way she went about so many things was just irritating to watch, like her going "out". It turned her into a very unlikable character, regardless of whether or not her actions and decisions were morally just.
People hated her because they are sexist and they couldn’t understand why she didn’t want her husband to be a compulsive liar, drug dealer, and murderer. I just finished rewatching the show and my empathy for Skyler was through the roof. She was a battered woman even though Walt didn’t hit her. He abused her in so many ways, including sexually. She’s the only person who could always see through his lies.
Because in the beginning she didn’t care what Walt wanted, she wanted him to be a certain way. Then she refuses to play Bonnie to his Clyde, but turns around and does it for Ted Beneke the man she cheated on Walt with. She attempted to turn the kids away from him in the beginning before she fully knew what he was doing just to spite him, she goes at him with a knife. Like the list goes on. She was just annoying in the beginning, towards the end her actions finally started making sense. That being said I’m speaking about the character, the acting was top notch. No ones saying Anna wasn’t. It’s just the character she was portraying was annoying but in a good ass believable acting way
I always felt like the whole “i did it for the family” line had some truth to it. Yes he did it for himself for the most part but his family having financial struggles was the final push to go out and do what he did
If he had done it for the family he would have stopped after the initial deal with Gus, but he had to keep making more which eventually lead to the Jesse and Gus problem
I think it was true at first but the show does a really good job of showing how it subtly changed from being to provide for his family to satiate his own ego and get the recognition for his abilities he thinks he deserves.
It was always true at first. He did in fact do it for the family, he was given a death sentence and had to find a way to make money quick. It changed once he realized how powerful it made him. It's understandable given how much his own family belittled him in the first few episodes of the show, but it was his own decisions that led him there.
True detective season 1 is the greatest piece of television in history. Better than films and tv shows a level of script writing we will never witness again. As a full tv show BB is far better but season 1 of TD is the greatest thing I’ll ever see in my lifetime
For me, this was the most emotional scene in the whole show. When Walt says goodbye to Holly, the tragedy of a father saying goodbye to his little girl - who he knows will grow up without him and may not even remember him - never fails to make me cry.
@@damarwarsihanto1218 That is correct. She mentioned in an interview for Esquire that she preffered to spend time with her family after BB was all done.
So much catharsis in this scene. Walt finally being honest with himself and with Skylar. Both of them feeing that small connection they still have through their children. So much regret and sadness, yet so much resolved at the same time.
@@thanosforever And they are aware of that you asshole, but they can imagine the scenario of people in the show seeing the corpses of people they knew and trusted being dug up from a shallow grave.
The horror slowly creeping into her expression and pouring out when Walter tells her that those are the coordinates for Hank and Steve's bodies was well acted. A lot of Anna Gunn's acting is done with her eyes. In the early part of the series, she has a lot of concern and curiosity in her eyes, but she starts to act more stoic as she realizes she can't change the situation. Gunn keeps the emotion held back in her eyes and keeps Skyler's stoicism until it just breaks.
Everyone talking about Bryan Cranston's performance here (which is phenomenal and well-deserved), but can we talk about Anna Gunn for a moment? You could tell Skyler is both deeply disgusted and yet still has a shrivel of feeling for Walt. Amazing performance, definitely deserving of the Emmy.
I think a lot of the people who hated skylar never actually watched the show lol,,,, they just knew from memes that she didn’t like what Walt was doing
@@humayoonrashdi249 This definitely means that so called Walter Hartwell White from the breaking bad series, in fact, did have his right eye out of line during conversation with Skylar in season 5 episode 16 "Felina". What a great storytelling. Bravo Vince
The moment he said goodbye to his daughter I remember crying. He loved his family unconditionally. I wasn't just crying because he knew what his fate would be. I was crying because I knew that the series was ending and nothing would ever match Breaking Bad again in my lifetime
@@fuki999 yeah he friggin offered his entire stash of money for hanks life. He loved his family unconditionally, thats why its so hard to hate walt despite all the terrible things he did. He genuinely loved and cared about his family and Jesse on the same level. Full blooded monsters arent capable of loving the way Walt did.
Her acceptance at 3:46 says it all. She still hates him, but she knows it didn't have to be like this, that he could've had better circumstances and just messed up bad

There’s something so bittersweet of seeing two people who fell in love, had a family, and grew it into a toxic relationship. Finally reconcile because, after all that happened, the truth came out. And even if it was a selfish truth, it was a freeing one. Skyler may not love Walt anymore. And Walt may not love her. But they finally understand each other. And that’s better than any, ‘Goodbye’.

Walter White is a murderer, a drug dealer, he's also narcissistic and greedy, the only good thing about him is that he cared about his family in the beggining, but after a while it stopped being about the family, it started being all about him, just like he admits in this scene.
@@FoxyGamerLx it's edgy to think a cheater is a bad person? walter didn't kill a single innocent person unless you're sad that he killed gus or krazy 8. seem like you're in your villain arc lol. no shit Sherlock did you figure out that walter is drug dealer by yourself? and saying walt is a narcissistic misses the point of the show. who saved jesse? who would risk his life for another person is a narcissistic person. and he would stop drug dealing if skylar didn't cheat and send all of his money to Ted. you're probably undergoing puberty and simping for skylar by hating walt
And in the end, for one moment, the last one... Walter was honest with Skyler... and more important: with himself.
And that’s what makes him such a complex character.

@@imcallingjapan2178 hmm
The truly tragic and somewhat bittersweet aspect of this scene is that in their final moments of ever seeing each other, Walt and Skyler seem to really grow to understand one another. There was imagery before showing a divide between them, but after the scene with Holly it was just the two of them, nothing between them, finally understanding one another but knowing that it's too late to go back. What an absolute masterpiece.
Some of the most bittersweet things that exist are realizations that had people made different choices, had anyone stopped, had people noticed the signs saying "no return", things might've gone differently maybe even turned good. But people continue trudging forward toward their ambition justifying their "means" with their "end" while not acknowledging what the means are turning them into. And thus we walk the road to hell, painting and paving our path with good intentions but the bricks are formed in corruption.
I think Breaking Bad's awesome because it acknowledges just how evil anybody can be. If we all made the same choices Walt did in the face of hardship we would become this person and that is a possibility. In light of that, in some ways it is remarkable that we don't let our impulses completely guide us day to day and the good that that allows us to put in the world by avoiding chaos that would otherwise be sown by our impulsive action. To be remembered seems good but to have a legacy of doing good is far better even if it doesn't mean you are lauded and remembered.

Omg I have never noticed that before! Seeing her go from being confident, independent, and in control in the first few seasons compared to the last two, and especially this episode, is truly sad.
Never noticed that, good eye!
whoa.
Eh that’s a little stretch.
At 3:17 hearing the pain in his voice when he says “can I see her” knowing that is the final goodbye to a daughter he never could raise, such a heartbreaking scene
Honestly, probably a good thing he never could raise her, with how much of an evil, controlling, narcissistic monster he was.
@@Watcherofprovidencebut this whole thing stared because he got cancer. Even if he didn’t do all the monstrous things that he did, Walt still would’ve died around this time
@@Watcherofprovidence I could be wrong but I really think post NH isolation Walt was a truly different person, he had an ego before but wasn't controlling or monstrous before the meth shit
But it didn't really matter anyway
@@TheBfutgreg you are partially correct. Before the Meth, Walt was good man who wanted to make his family happy. The problem was he himself wasn’t happy and never learned to properly communicate his real feelings of inadequacies to them. The talking pillow scene definitely hits this home. When Walt says he needs ‘a choice’ Skyler’s response is simply to tell him to make the ‘right choice’ and that he is not the only one it affects. Walter wanted to FEEL alive rather than just ‘survive’ for two years. He hated the family dynamic he put himself in and wanted to feel important and powerful for the time he had left. He loved his family but he never really showed them his vulnerabilities and therefore was walked all over emotionally.
3:44 you can see Skyler looking at Walt like he is Walt. She finally sees him as her husband again and not Heisenberg, you can tell she wishes it was another way.
you can see Skyler looking at Walt like he is Walt. Bravo Vince
@@dontwatch this is the moment Walter became Walter. Truly breathtaking.

Bravo vince!
Shouldn't have swung knifes then based on vague accusations.
@@skinnyjoe9714 Vravo Bince?
The actress that plays Skyler deserves so much more credit. Just look at her eyes when she speaks!! It conveys a million other emotions
she got emmy award for supporting actress so i guess she got what she deserved
When i first watched this show, I couldn't stand her. The second time, I felt really bad for her. The third time, I was staring in awe at Anna Gunn's performance (alongside all the others, of course). The fourth, I concluded a once skeptical realization - that this is the greatest show ever written.
There aren’t a millions emotions, I only counted 247
I feel bad for not liking her at certain points in the series - but at this moment, even Walt is honest with himself and her, and you can't not feel for her.
I don't hate her. I don't like her. I don't feel bad for her, either. I don't like Walt as well.
Everybody praises Bryan but Anna Gunn was the best part of this scene. Look at her eyes when Walt confessed... shit was so damn touching. Like she finally respected him for telling the truth for once.
Incredible show.
FR! especially when she was staring at Walt when he was seeing Holly. Skyler's eyes are part of what makes this scene so good. there were enough emotions in her eyes that no words are needed anymore.
I wouldnt call it respect, its more like a weight was lifted off her shoulders, he finally said the thing that she knew was true, something she thought he’d never say, that this wasnt for the family, it was for him.
Ironically he still only told her what he wanted to hear. He legit was thinking of providing for his family when he started then only afterwards it became him sticking it to those that didnt respect him
Everybody praises him because he's great in a part that could very easily alienate viewers--and the show would've died. She gets less praise because it's a less-showy role. Yet without her as a norm to act against, his acting wouldn't be nearly as effective. It's the way of drama, not everyone gets the main tragic role.
She didn't deserve any explanation.
“Flynn will be home soon” is a subtle, yet powerful statement. Walt jr no longer wishes to be related to his father, and reverts back to his nickname at the beginning of the series when he saw his father as a spineless “pussy” for not accepting treatment for his cancer.
Did anyone else catch that?
Right and the way skylar casually says it too. Like it’s the norm now that flynn despises walt and that’s just something he had to accept
@@Mrwill1041 Op’n na noor
@@Mrwill1041 I am the one who knocks
The flynn plot point was going on through the entire series, he first went to flynn when his dad was a “pussy” then when he got respect for his dad again while skyler hated walt he got angry at her for using flynn and insisted he was called walter jr. Then when he moved in with hank, marie called him constantly flynn which he didnt try to correct as he was unsure of who is his father anymore and in the end he stayed as flynn as the truth about him finally came out.
This is probably one of my favourite plot points
No man I'm retarded I didn't catch it
The moment before she says "Flynn will be home soon", and she's looking up at him, you can see love in her eyes again for just a second before she pushes it away. This scene gets me in so many ways.
She has to find an excuse to make him leave. She can't honestly tell him she wants him to leave, because she doesn't.
@@foxygrin damn you might be right, that just adds to the heartbreak. She's told him to leave so many times before, but it's probably hard not to have that bittersweet nostalgia creep into your vision, blurring Heisenberg's form through tears; I think all she can see in that moment is Walt.
I have no idea why I got all poetic there, I just wrote it and said "that's too decent to delete" so it's staying lol
And even if he did stay even if he did give the truth there’s no way his son would listen but I’m sure given time he will he will find out the full stories hopefully it could redeem a piece
I thought I was the only one that saw it, also when shes looking at him with the baby and suddenly she changes her expression again.. she's such a good actress.
Hmmm
3:31 this scene ! I was literally in tears because this scene was so so real . The way he was staring at her , it's was looking like that a real father is looking his daughter last time . I was just numb that time 🥺
"I was... really... I was alive". - Yeah Skyler, that would have been your job to keep your husband happy and "alive".
@@martinm.1967 ehh they keep each other happy and they both failed evidently
Good acting, including the baby.
The last few episodes had me in tears at several points😭
I feel like Skyler's gaze at 3:44-3:48 tells a lot. You can see love, hate, empathy, "wishing it was another way", sadness, peace, realization, regret and everything Skyler went through with Walt is resumed in that look...
The perfect goodbye.
Perfect way to put it
All summed up into that one heavy tear drop rolling down her cheek.
There's also a slight lift of her left hand just after he's left the room. She wanted to reach out to him, to hold her husband...or perhaps for him to reach out to her....but she knew it could never happen. It didn't stop her wanting to and that hand lift, for me, holds so much weight.
she wanted to be one way, but it's the other way
Shes an amazing actor. All in the face
“I was alive”
Rewatching the first episode when no one’s listening in his class, Hank joking mostly at his expense(even throughout the series but you know the other side), his college friends making millions off his idea.
Yes he did it for his family, but it definitely evolved into the power he always internally needed, even if it was the total wrong way of going about it, the whole “I felt alive” he didn’t feel happy, he was in control of his life with that power, but telling how he doesn’t say he was ever happy with his life at any point.
Just wanted to say, Walt’s failures in life until the diagnosis were still his fault. He missed the opportunities and messed them up due to his own ego. Especially gray matter. He literally messed that up cause he couldn’t bear the thought of the love of his life being as I resigned, capable and richer than hin
@@aryan7767 it makes you wonder how Walt ended up like that in the first place. It’s still an aspect of walt that’s never been elaborated on. I think the explanation of Walt simply having hereditary narcissism is a lame cop out based on what kind of character they were going for (complex character development and what not).
@@callinater6133 yeah, especially the monologue about his father which is the only meaningful time his parents and childhood is brought up. he saw his father die when hew as 6 from a termainal illness and with a single mother he 100% struggled financially and had to be the provider or at least a contributer at a younger age. which explains how he ties his own self worth and ego to a concept of being a financial provider for his family. note that its him that wants to earn that money, cause he HATES the fact that his father died and left them to fend for themselves
He did it for his family and knew he could’ve left them more if he didn’t get screwed out of the grey matter
@@LaurenAtTennhe wasn't screwed out of Grey Matter, he left on his own. And refused to work at Grey Matter when Elliot asked.

I like the shot at 1:41, the wooden pillar. The separation between them…the symbolism.
This is the moment the white family became wooden pillar
lmao
Cinematographer: "Yeah... Thats why I did that... Not that I thought it's a pretty shot..."
@@PRubin-rh4sr I know it’s a joke but the guys right. There’s a reason why the director decided to put a wood pillar inbetween them as that conversation goes. He definitely could have just shot it at a different angle, but he chose that angle with the pillar for metaphorical reasons.
I was looking for a comment mentioning that shot. he is talking to skyler from the heart instead of the head for the first time since season one. he finally puts down the sword, but everything that transpired in the previous five seasons has barricaded him from ever returning to his former life. that wood is the DEA, skyler's fear of walt, jrs hatred of his dad, and hank's death all in a 2x4. crazy shit

He's the most sympathetic villain ever. I want to hate him so bad for the things he did but I just can't.
I disliked him when he poisoned Brock, but when he called Jesse and reasoned that he gave Brock just enough to make him sick but curable made me feel slightly convinced. Only then, I remembered when he was whistling away cooking the meth right after he told Jesse that Todd killing Drew Sharp was heartbreaking for him, just seemed like it wasn't at all. It's like a mix of feelings.

Such a great scene. The lack of music or any sound at all is so powerful.
There was sound, actually. Sound of traffic, that background noise, dubbed in b/c this was shot on a sound stage. It's brilliant, and shows Skyler lives in a cheap place in a not-so-good part of town.
@@scottslotterbeck3796lol u know what he meant.
I've heard people hated Skyler's character so much that they went on to hate the actress. That's honestly awful. Because she absolutely killed it in this role. So much raw emotion shown in just this one scene.
I hated her character, not the actress.
If anything, I’d praise the actress for her stunning performance. If she can make the characters give us feel, then we already know she performed very well.
Mostly young people who probably started watching breaking bad recently think that.
People hated Skyler because she was Walter's main foil. She was smart enough to see through his lies and to trust her own judgment over Walt's lies. If I were in her situation I definitely wouldn't have been all "supportive and 100% loving wife" if I'm lied to over and over again over major things, made to launder drug money, etc etc. Let's be real, if you hate her, you believed Walter's lies and you have at the very least a himt of misogyny.
Yes, Skyler should've gone to Hank about the meth stuff, but it's not easy to just "go to the cops" on your dying husband whom you have two children with and whom you still have feelings for.
@@GalaxyGal- so in essence you’re a snitch running on emotions not loyalty! Most mob or drug lord wives or what have you know to to stfu and stay in your lane being the one who keeps the home and family full of solice and no grief. That’s the problem with most of these criminals and gf and end up having everyone take the fall. Stick with square dudes you can control 😂
Its hard to pick who acted worst in this series .
"... I was alive." That was all that Walt wanted, from the very start of the show, he wanted to LIVE, and NOT SURVIVE anymore. Going all the way back to the convention scene in the first season. This is when Skylar was finally able to understand Walt.
In a way, this was all some kind of real-life fever dream for him. When he even found out about his remission, he was probably even afraid to lose that life...
You can see she respected him more for finally being honest.
He didnt wanna live then die miserable
Y'all can hate on Skylar all you want but this is some quality acting.
People just hate her for no reason to be fair
No one hates the actor, she was phenomenal. Her character on the other hand, not so much.
I actually always liked Skylar...
@@diallo1347 What exactly is there to dislike any more than Walter or any of the other characters?
The first time you watch it, its easy to hate her because we see her as an obstacle to Walt - she's the naggy wife who keeps him down, even if he is doing reprehensible things. The second time you watch it, you realize she is a very flawed but very relatable GOOD character. That's part of the brilliance of the show, that it so perfectly manipulates us into cheering for and against the people whom we shouldn't. Anna Gunn played Skyler with perfection.
Its a strange thing to want the villian to win, but its a fear of many to know when you have to die. He knew it, he was too far gone, he would never see his family, never cook, never raise his kids. So one last goodbye felt like a goodbye to the audience as well and was a beautiful last scene with those two together
the scene with Holly always gets to me man, don’t even want to imagine the pain
the pain of not getting a chance to watch your child grow up.... ;_;
@@shadowboy2818 I just had a daughter. I would ball my eyes out if I had to be the man in this scene .
I watched the show before I had my daughter and again after she was born. BB and Sons of Anarchy are my favorite shows and both end with the main character having to say goodbye to their kids because they know the kids will be better off without them. The thought of saying goodbye to your child is just heartbreaking. And as much as I hated Walt the character, I still felt for him here because if he has one shred of good left in him he’s realizing as he touches his daughter for the last time that he gave up a lifetime of memories to be a meth cook. I also feel incredibly sad for Walt’s family, who had a good man but watched him transform into a monster because he felt wronged. Dude had a wife and 2 beautiful kids and didn’t realize how lucky he was.
The last time he would see his daughter
@@spoother785 you make great points but no matter what Walt was gonna die from the cancer anyway

The way his eyes press close after that. its just like when you recount the best moment of your life, you close your eyes to make it clearer.
Walt really was alive, and loved every second. It was a selfish joyride that led him here, but damn if he didn't have the time of his life.
Its heartbreaking to see how he ended up like this. He had cancer, and wanted to pay it on his own, without bothering or depending on anyone. That's what caused everything.

The most tear jerky part of the entire series is seeing Walt's hand on Holly's head.
It is pretty tear jerky but honestly for me it has to be the scene where Jesse watched Andrea get killed. It was such a painful scene.
Walt sees that he already had all the things that are truly important in life, it was right there all along and he didnt need any of the drug lord stuff to have it. Truly heartbreaking
That’s the saddest part of this. If I were Walt that would torture me the most. Saying goodbye to my little girl for the last time, knowing she’d grow up without a father and having to deal with who her father had been.
Definitely a powerful scene, the one where shes left in the firetruck always gets me good also
If Cranston really made himself cry in this scene, it's perfect the way the tears fall out of his glasses when he's looking at Holly :(
He gave closure to skyler when he said “I did it for me”
I like how BB is a study of toxic relationships - Walt and Jesse and Walt and Skyler. At the end Walt brings relief to both of them, but the damage has already become irreparable. Really meaningful for everyone that was in that kind of relationship and didn’t dare to speak out and let it go before things escalated.
"I was... really... I was alive". - Yeah Skyler, that would have been your job to keep your husband happy and "alive".

This was the moment that we all watched the video and then just repeated what happened in it

It was always for Walter himself, he had other options, he could have worked for Elliot and make that money easy, he could have accepted the money they offered him as well

@@AownAli-xi8jq he didn't want honor. He had faced death and conquered it. Life after that was about finding himself.

I get it too. Honestly sometimes when you feel like your always eating last and then turn shit around and are the first one to eat, it can have an effect on you.
@@AownAli-xi8jq I agree just I simply stated I understand it. The scene and buildup to it were done masterfully. The fact we can have such a conversation about a 5 min scene in a tv show is cool.
I'll never understand why Skyler was so hated. In the beginning she was worried that her husband is hiding something from her even though she was worrying about his health day and night. Later she was petrified that if he gets caught her whole family will be in trouble and could ruin her children's lives. Then when he totally turned bad it took so much toll on her. Poor woman just got broke into million pieces.
She's an amazing character. But I think people didn't like her because of the early episodes with the talking pillow scene. She wanted Walt to live HIS life how SHE wanted to. Thank god he didn't but, I think that's why people started to hate on her. Right from the get go she was already portrayed as this manipulative wife. However, it could be something else lol. That's just why I started to dislike her.
She was just annoying. She was also a giant hypocrite, completely willing to play Bonnie to his Clyde and then turning around and acting like a victim when things got real. She was still a victim for the most part, but the way she went about so many things was just irritating to watch, like her going "out". It turned her into a very unlikable character, regardless of whether or not her actions and decisions were morally just.
People hated her because they are sexist and they couldn’t understand why she didn’t want her husband to be a compulsive liar, drug dealer, and murderer. I just finished rewatching the show and my empathy for Skyler was through the roof. She was a battered woman even though Walt didn’t hit her. He abused her in so many ways, including sexually. She’s the only person who could always see through his lies.
Because in the beginning she didn’t care what Walt wanted, she wanted him to be a certain way. Then she refuses to play Bonnie to his Clyde, but turns around and does it for Ted Beneke the man she cheated on Walt with. She attempted to turn the kids away from him in the beginning before she fully knew what he was doing just to spite him, she goes at him with a knife. Like the list goes on. She was just annoying in the beginning, towards the end her actions finally started making sense. That being said I’m speaking about the character, the acting was top notch. No ones saying Anna wasn’t. It’s just the character she was portraying was annoying but in a good ass believable acting way
@@RG-om3jl that wasn’t why people disliked the character lol
I always felt like the whole “i did it for the family” line had some truth to it. Yes he did it for himself for the most part but his family having financial struggles was the final push to go out and do what he did
If he had done it for the family he would have stopped after the initial deal with Gus, but he had to keep making more which eventually lead to the Jesse and Gus problem
@@thepowerofsand6180 which is why i said him “doing it for the family” only had some truth to it
I think it was true at first but the show does a really good job of showing how it subtly changed from being to provide for his family to satiate his own ego and get the recognition for his abilities he thinks he deserves.
I would he came in to the business for his family but he stayed for himself
It was always true at first. He did in fact do it for the family, he was given a death sentence and had to find a way to make money quick.
It changed once he realized how powerful it made him. It's understandable given how much his own family belittled him in the first few episodes of the show, but it was his own decisions that led him there.
The moment Walt finally became honest and told Skylar why he did what he did, she trusted him enough to see the child.

For me, this was the most emotional scene in the whole show. When Walt says goodbye to Holly, the tragedy of a father saying goodbye to his little girl - who he knows will grow up without him and may not even remember him - never fails to make me cry.
Anna Gunn’s acting is truly incredible. Shame that you don’t see her in many roles today
yea she made millions off this show what she need to go act on anything else for?
@@dukecitiplaya_2671 Bc she’s good at it
@@dukecitiplaya_2671 because most normal people like to do things they love to fill their life with enjoyment
I'm pretty sure she's got offered to play many roles but she didn't accept it
@@damarwarsihanto1218 That is correct. She mentioned in an interview for Esquire that she preffered to spend time with her family after BB was all done.
She is absolutely brilliant in this scene. She says a thousand things with no words after Walt says "I did it for me."
Right. You can completely tell what she was thinking, despite the face change being so subtle.
cant believe there was a time when people said anna gunn was a bad actress
Humanity didnt deserve this show. Truly a masterpiece.
And not only did we get it, we were later blessed with Better Call Saul
@@SamsarasArt And as a big fan of BB I somehow maybe enjoyed BCS a little bit more.
We were lucky that this show existed in our lifetime.
Speak for yourself. I deserve this show 😌
So much catharsis in this scene. Walt finally being honest with himself and with Skylar. Both of them feeing that small connection they still have through their children. So much regret and sadness, yet so much resolved at the same time.
"I was... really... I was alive". - Yeah Skyler, that would have been your job to keep your husband happy and "alive".
Walt cared so much about Hank, he killed each one of them.
I like to think revenge for ASAC SCHRADER as well as stealing *Walt's* millions, Flynn being a cripple, and the rightful imprisonment of Jesse.
That was pretty obvious, he offered all of his money that he earned to spare Hank's life.
I feel sorry for anyone who had to witness Hank and Steve getting unburied from the desert after so long. Marie would be *devastated*
@@thanosforever And they are aware of that you asshole, but they can imagine the scenario of people in the show seeing the corpses of people they knew and trusted being dug up from a shallow grave.
The horror slowly creeping into her expression and pouring out when Walter tells her that those are the coordinates for Hank and Steve's bodies was well acted. A lot of Anna Gunn's acting is done with her eyes. In the early part of the series, she has a lot of concern and curiosity in her eyes, but she starts to act more stoic as she realizes she can't change the situation. Gunn keeps the emotion held back in her eyes and keeps Skyler's stoicism until it just breaks.
2:12 No, you were the best 💊🧪🌡❄️
1:41 respect to vince gilligan to hide the detail in every moment
In this scene how brilliantly he shows they broke apart...
That's some Bing Joon Ho shit right there!
Everyone talking about Bryan Cranston's performance here (which is phenomenal and well-deserved), but can we talk about Anna Gunn for a moment? You could tell Skyler is both deeply disgusted and yet still has a shrivel of feeling for Walt. Amazing performance, definitely deserving of the Emmy.
I literally don’t see anyone talking about Bryan’s. It’s legit only Anna
@@user-rx9ne3dr6h Anna's performance here wasn't that good.
@@thisguy976 Finally someone who understands something here. Great acting bc of cryring and looking angry wow what great acting
@@aydinoxy2784 That’s literally the least of what she’s doing. You’re delusional
@@aydinoxy2784 Watch the show again in a few years when you're older, you'll understand more
I’m happy people are now having a re evaluation of the Skyler hatred. She is not as bad as people make her out to be at all.
I think a lot of the people who hated skylar never actually watched the show lol,,,, they just knew from memes that she didn’t like what Walt was doing
If you hate skyler, you’re probably under 16 years old and your opinion isnt worth much anyways.
@c m no she is not bad, not the bad skyler haters think she is.
@c m saying this whole Marie is stealing your shoes? Lmfao
@c m u don't get it lol
Always amazes me how his right eye is out of the line, what a great performance
2:20.
What do you think it means?
@@humayoonrashdi249 This definitely means that so called Walter Hartwell White from the breaking bad series, in fact, did have his right eye out of line during conversation with Skylar in season 5 episode 16 "Felina". What a great storytelling. Bravo Vince
@@dontwatch i mean what does it signify
@@humayoonrashdi249 it signifies that his eyes are fucked up
@@humayoonrashdi249 it’s a joke
The moment he said goodbye to his daughter I remember crying. He loved his family unconditionally. I wasn't just crying because he knew what his fate would be. I was crying because I knew that the series was ending and nothing would ever match Breaking Bad again in my lifetime
Agree. Breaking Bad is not just a show, it’s an experience
truth is he didnt do it for himself, he was lying when said that or ppl convinced him
@@fuki999 yeah he friggin offered his entire stash of money for hanks life. He loved his family unconditionally, thats why its so hard to hate walt despite all the terrible things he did.
He genuinely loved and cared about his family and Jesse on the same level. Full blooded monsters arent capable of loving the way Walt did.
that shot at 1:40 is so good.
You just felt like smashing your keyboard. Average Internet personality. That was the most basic, normal shot possible. Stfu.
True.. a wall between them yup
Her acceptance at 3:46 says it all. She still hates him, but she knows it didn't have to be like this, that he could've had better circumstances and just messed up bad
1:45 this is so evocative.. beautiful shot.
