#BreakingBad #BrBa #Confessions
You'll notice that Hank and Marie are now wearing the same colors, and Skyler is wearing Walt's typical beige color, reinforcing their current alliances.
its so amazing how they hide all this little signals in there.
Also, now that they’re rich, they wear beige, tan and white, much like how the Schwartz’s party was filled with beige-wearing rich people.
That wasn't quite the producers' intuition. The colors should define the two fronts. In the Breaking Bad universe, beige was worn by rich people, so to speak. You can tell from the water glasses that the whites are not quite in harmony. This was confirmed in the podcast. The Whites' glasses are far apart, while Hank's and Marie's glasses are close together. This is intended to symbolize the discord of the Whites and the solidarity of the Schraders
There’s literally a chart that shows the correlation between the colors they wear and what it connects to. Love this show even more for that detail
After everything Walt and Jesse have gone through, he is still calling him Mr White.
That came to my mind too, thats super crazy.
@@Fbitypeshit absolutely. I just find it kinda funny that he still treated his elder with some respect, though Walt didn't deserve it.
He never called him Walter once. Its cause through all the horrible shit they they still have a connection, a father/son type bond. Even though it's twisted and sad just like Walts character. I believe walt does care for his family and Jesse and nothing else, hes just so fucked in the head from everything it has changed him.
xoPanchitaxo Rewatching the show, he does call him Walter once, but it’s in a mocking way and around the start of the series.
@@mschill5575 he in the end ended Jesse's slavery
Aaron Paul won his third Emmy for this episode! Probably one of his best performances ever. And he was up against Peter Dinklage, who was nominated for Tyrion's trial episode. Insane competition, impossible to compare. But man, Breaking Bad killed almost every other show's chances when it was on air.
And the best acting of the season is still to come.
And re: the cold open, I really like how IGN put it in their review: "The greatest image in that opening moment was Uncle Jack wiping the blood off of his shoe. It was tiny and wordless and the visual metaphor of him throwing it down the toilet summed up the future of the enterprise: it will be sloppy, it will be unprofessional, it will be bloody, it will be for nothing. We are very far removed from the Gus era. All of that in three connected shots."
Emil Hofileña so true
Totally agree about the high level of competition, but I think they got the decision right. Aaron Paul was on a different level from the other nominees, and it was not simply due to him having stronger material to work with.
Beating Peter Dinklage was a big deal. Peter's performance at the trial was phenomenal. But the voters gotta pick somebody, and Aaron was also phenomenal.
Aaron Paul won the emmy for this episode. So good
@@CraigKostelecky Holy shit, that is such a difficult choice to make. But I guess they got it right
The completely looney tunes look in his eyes when he's pointing the gun at Saul is basically my favorite part of this episode
There are like three episodes in 5B Aaron could have submitted, and I think he could have won for any of them. But I understand him picking this one. He did get a lot to do.
Well deserved.
The Rabid Dog scene is his best though.
Walt's confession video is easily a top 5 scene of the whole show for me, from an outside view that story could totally be believable, and this was definitely Walt's (not Bryan Craston's) best performance
I was also sitting there with an open mouth.
when i saw that scene for the first time, my mouth was on the floor
That scene is the perfect example of how the best lies have sprinkles of the truth in them.
@@hm02fly75 right, like how walt admits he did make the bomb.
Had he lied and said hank or gus made it, it would be less believable. But telling a truth that he did make it makes it all more real.
@SpankMeSanta everything walt has done was the right thing! All hail king 👑 Heisenberg
When the only real confession in the episode is from Saul
And Todd's confession of the train robbery.
And Marie's confession to Hank about his medical bills.
Hoodoo the Clown Todd's confession was a bit altered since he failed to mention the kid he killed.
@@hoodootheclown929 didn't catch that first but damn, true
@@Fbitypeshit He does. Walt's perspective since about episode 6 is "I win, you lose." Now, so is Hank's.
What are you talking about? Walt told jr he has cancer, marie told about the insurance, todd told his uncle etc.
walts confession was one take. there is a dvd extra of the footage on youtube. brilliant acting from bryan and aaron.
Yeah, don't look that up until you've finished the show. Searching anything on TH-cam is bound to give you spoilers
John Doe they have mods
It's not Aaron. It's Ay ay ron!
@@JzeroN mods don't stop breaking bad spoilers showing up in your suggested videos.
@@sandercohen3309 ruined Hanks death for me
I want to hug Jesse during almost every episode. I knew he was going to be one of the best characters of all time when he called a barn a 'cow house'.
The amazing thing about Walt's confession is that his story is flawless. Everything he says about Hank is realistically plausible based on their interactions together and Hank's job, even down to the accident in the car when Hank was taking him on ride alongs to the laundry and Pollos Hermanos because Hank was doing it off the books and on his own, lol.
@@rumham7466 bro its in 2008 . the text messages arnt traceable .
There’s actually one flaw, which makes his entire “confession” fall apart. Who in The DEA would believe Hank was working with Gus when Hank was telling his superiors Gus is the guy they’re looking for? Who in the dea woukd believe Hank was working with Gus, when Hank brought in for an interrogation?
@@josephsarto689 Except Walt "confessed" to making a bomb "for hank" so he could blow up Gus. So perhaps he could say hank was trying to bring his competition down legally and finally gave up and blew him up.
No one in law enforcement would buy that either. If Hank was involved I. Illegal activity, he would bring down Gus in an illegal way. He wouldn’t be bringing in Gus for questioning. Hank wouldn’t risk Gus flipping on him for a deal with the prosecution
@@josephsarto689 The fact that Hank's BinL was the man he was chasing for over a year was enough to sink him. Hank says so himself. This would ruin his reputation in the news/public, either way.
This is my confession, i`m addicted to Breaking Bad reaction by Nikki & Steven :p
please do more reaction
The episode is called ‘’confessions’’ because this episode is full of confessions. Marie confession about the bills, walts ‘’confession’’ to hank, saul’s confession to jesse and walt’s confession to junior. The show is just pure poetry! Its amazing. This show is just as good as GoT If even better
It's better then GoT, atleast for me, cuz u can see that happening in real life.
The second choice for the title was "Annoying Waiters"
you forgot Todds confession to his clique about the train heist
Its by far better than GoT because of the miserable last 2(3) seasons.
O
This has some of the best writing in tv history right here
I don’t normally watch reaction videos, but with you guys, it’s a real discussion and opinion. Great stuff.
Marc Duval thanks Marc!!!
Fun fact, Nikki & Steven:
You are now exactly 5 episodes away from the endings of TWO of the greatest tv-shows ever
Some Guy I’m dying for them to watch Battlestar Galactica. It’s a jaw dropping, unexpected masterpiece too.
@@rebeccaodonnell6252 Same here, unfortunately the distributor has been very very aggressive in filing copyright takedowns against anyone doing BSG reactions. Really the only way to do them is through Patreon, full reactions with no included video from the series. :-/
Some shows you can react to, others... other series are owned by a bunch of aggressive dicks.
Some Guy that’s scary!!!!
ianwestc That’s why I can’t find reactions to it! Awww. It took my friend a year of nagging to get me to watch it. I despised the original from the 70’s. I finally agreed just to shut her up. Saw the pilot and went out the next day to buy the rest. I binge watched the entire series in two weeks!
@@rebeccaodonnell6252 Could've done with a better ending though...
My confession: I'm glad you guys didn't watch this show before the reaction era.
🤥😲🚬⛽
Well now you finally know.... Hank is HEISENBERG.. Everything fits, Hank even matches the description all the way down to his bald head. (WHAT is more believeable: a mild mannered high school chemistry teacher being a drug lord or a very high level DEA Agent with decades of experience in the Drug World? It all makes sooo much sense). LOL
26:50 - "I NEED TO WATCH MORE!" That's what we all said after watching this episode, lol.
🤥😲🚬⛽
The look on Marie's face when she realized Hank's surgery and rehab was paid for by Walts drug money.
John Ross that’s a game changer. Wow!!!
I remember that spoof video the week this came out. "Hank and Marie watch Miley Cyrus at the VMAs".
I remember "Hank and Marie watch the Dexter finale"
Aaron Paul BREAKS my heart as Jesse. I've seen BB 3X & he still brings me to tears.
Love how the writer(s) subvert everything they built thru S1-4; everyone understands & sympathizes w/ WW at first. Want him to get away with it. Over 5 seasons we slowly wake up to a monster; realizing w/ horror that we've cheered for the villain. Vince Gilligan (writer/creator) says he wants the audience to question their judgement. Writer(s) keep raising stakes & tightening dread every episode but it never feels unbelievable.
George R. R. Martin, the author of the GoT books, once said in his blog: “Walter White is a bigger monster than anyone in Westeros.”
hows that possible when GoT has Cercei, the Mountain and Ramsay?
As far as I know Walt doesn't kill, mutilate for fun and rape people so bit of a nonsense quote
@Gui Porto I dunno., I would say that the depth of evil that some characters in GoT have gone to is more extreme than that of any TV series character. At least Walt wrestles a little with his conscience before he does bad shit. GoT villains , however, give no whatsoever fux about anything.
@@dantesilvermine5160 "Walt doesn't kill?" have you missed THE ENTIRE SHOW?
@@dantesilvermine5160 also, yes Walter White is a monster. The devil himself. Worse the most anyone else in Westeros.
I was pumped to see steven pick up on the huell pick pocket realization scene, my first watch through it slipped me
Just once, I wish Jessie and Walter could've gone go-karting together.
Walt is 100% a bad guy... but he’s the best
Luke Pratapas he really is an amazing character
you cant be a meth dealer with a heart of gold lmao. they woud be dead in the pilot episode. The day he cooked his first batch he was officially a bad guy
Luke Pratapas i love him i would even love him more if he killed brock so i can see those ppl crying like brock is the fucking main character ppl hating walt for poisoning him where we really dont give a shit about that fucking kid, also i would love him more if ruined hank and meree with that tape so i can truly see walter in his fully danger form
@Honk Honk Now this is complete bullshit. I don't usually reply to such old comments, but Jesus, this actually set me back...
Cooking Meth doesn't make you a bad person, wow!! Yes, Gail was a bad guy, and so was Jesse. Why? Because they were committing a crime while being fully aware of it. They are criminals. They are ruining many addicts lives. Jesse tried selling meth to the support group, and he isn't a bad guy? I don't think you can get that point, because for you, only and only Walt is a monster in this whole show, and everyone else is an angel down on earth. Jesus Christ! So I think you should say hello to some meth manufacturers, and spend some good time with them, because they aren't bad guys, but sadly everyone thinks they are monsters, right?
And about poisoning Brock, when a guy like Gus has you tazed, and takes you to a desert with a black bag over your head while threatening your family, you expect a person like Walt not to act?? It was necessary for his and his family's safety. He didn't want to poison a child, he had to. Was that morally sound decision? No. Would people actually do that if they are in Walt's shoes? I bet more than 90% of the people who say that "Walt is the worst, monster and blah blah" would do that without even a second thought.
@Honk Honk I agree with most of the things, still I don't agree with Jesse and Gale not being bad guys. They actively participated in expansion of a drug empire. Gale was a genius, he could have had any other job with ease. But no, his passion for cooking meth and making easy money made him stay in the business. BCS actually sheds a light on his character a little bit more, but let's not talk about that. Jesse could have turned his life around after having enough money to do so, but he still accepted Walt's offer to replace Gale. They might have a good heart, but that doesn't mean they are not bad people. They are, however, better than Walt, Gus, Cartel members, etc obviously, but definitely not from the eyes of a normal person, or they eyes of law. That makes them bad people. Even Mike and Hank are bad upto certain aspect. Mike followed Gus and killed many people, many more than Walt. Hank was a very racist man, who treats every drug addict like a scumbag, and has little to no regard for other people's life (Jesse) as long as he gets what he wants (catching Walt).
1. What an episode, just amazing
2. So many confessions from multiple characters
3. Happy 4/20
It's 21/4 here in Australia
Happy 4/20 to you too Drew, glad to hear the youngsters are getting out to celebrate today
@@saulgoodman612 Trouble with the law? Better Call Saul!
It's chilling to think that Skyler actually helped Walt film his "confession". She's (almost) as bad as Walt!
And I'm just now recalling way back when Skyler scripted the story for Walt when they were going to tell Hank and Marie the gambling story. Man! This show!
And boom. There's what nobody says! Agree 💯
Now that Walt is no longer in the business, Skyler is desperately trying to cling to the small glimmer of light that they can be a normal family again. If Walt goes to prison, Skyler would be imprisoned too if the feds found out she was an accomplice. She needs the family together.
It's so sad that the first time I watched the show I just flat hated Skylar. I couldn't stand her. I was screaming at her, "just drown!" When she went into the pool.
It's a real shame because she is such a beautifully complex character. She is somehow still strong even when she is utterly at the mercy of Heisenberg. I think I maybe pity her and sympathize with her more than most now.
Skyler's only want is to have her family back. Part of it might be not wanting to go to jail, but she's done so much to hold the family together and even accepted Walt back after what's he's done. The real losers were the children and Hank and Marie. The luck they had being related to the Whites...
It ALL fits - - - Hank ran Crazy-8 as his "informant" (street man/dealer/enforcer) , he showed Walt an actve crime scene/drug lab (teaching Walt how to cook), he arrested the school janitor Hugo Archilleya to cover up his theft of school supplies to start his drug empire (and to scare Walt by showing his power to arrest ANYONE), Hank was there when Tortuga's head was found on the turtle but Hank was conveniently NOT in the area for the explosion (inside knowledge of the Cartel's plan?), he killed Tuco (competition), Hank hounded Jessie and beat him badly to keep him "in line" and he destroyed Jessie's mobile drug lab (competition), Hank went psycho on Mike by surveilling his every move and siezing his money TWICE (to stop Mike from starting a competing drug empire? and to keep Mike silent)... OMG it ALL points to one conclusion - Hank is HEISENBRERG
9:30 I didn't click until watched this reaction. The reason Todd shot that kid was so that NO ONE EVER knew about it. Now he is here telling the whole story in a public place.
Todd is so many levels of naive stupid evil...Jesse, my man forever, I wish Mike could have seen it.
I know rightttt!! Same here for some reason as soon as it started for some reason it clicked for the first time that Todd telling his uncle and his friend completely contradicts his whole explanation for killing the kid
I wonder how people rewatch this series over and over again. It’s magnificent in every single aspect but I am honestly left so emotionally exhausted that I don’t think I could go though this again. It also made me realized that not everyone could become a reactor. I don’t think I could allow myself be so raw and open for everyone to see online and also some fans are crazy aggressive. So kudos to you ✊🏼
Aaron Paul won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in this episode.
As someone who discovered you two by accident on a TWD compilation, I have to say it's like finding a diamond in the rough. Now to watch you review a show I've seen so many times I've lost count, gives me great joy. It's the best feeling to re-watch it when you two legit don't know what's coming. What I would give to be able to binge this show with fresh eyes. Keep up the great reactions.
Podcast Notes: Confessions
this podcast was in 2 parts & i am splitting into 2 comments
Part 1 Guests: writer Tom Schnauz, exec producer Michelle MacLaren, Anna Gunn (Skyler), Betsy Brandt (Marie) co-exec producer Melissa Bernstein
1. Was it planned for all the stuff Walt there back at Hank would be used that way? No, but they did know when Walt paid for Hank’s medical treatment that it would come back to haunt Hank, that he was taking drug $. they didn’t know how. If you know too early what you want to happen, you’re robbing yourself of the process of writing & exploring story. The video confession was Vince’s idea; it took a while for him to convince the other writers.
2. When they wrote the first 8 of season 5, they didn’t know how it would end. They didn’t know how the cold open with Walt with hair would end up paying off. It was walking a tightrope to set themselves up like that as they wouldn’t figure it all out until the next year when they wrote the 2nd half.
3. The dvd was the nuclear option - they hoped not to have to use it. Skyler wasn’t really for it. They think she agreed to help make it _if_ he would be willing to take one more approach at reasoning with them.
4. Bryan playing Walt acting was amazing to watch - they did 4 takes of the video, all one shot each, and used the fourth. The full confession is on TH-cam (Nikki & Steven, don’t watch until you’re done with the series of course!)
5. The thing Skyler does with the water-happened organically in Anna’s performance, not written.
6. That scene was the hardest day for Betsy - she broke up talking about it. After they finished shooting, she broke down crying and asked Bryan for a hug. She was thinking of how Marie went from being on his side in the intervention scene to telling him to kill himself. It physically hurt her. Then, watching the video, she feels _so_ guilty for taking the money
7. Anna feels that Skyler at this point is so lost & has fallen so far she’s already damned, she’s already lost herself, and she knows it.
8. Everyone basically broke down crying at this point, because of the emotion of that & because the actors are done shooting this show they love. This is an awesome podcast episode
Part 2 Guest: Aaron Paul (just him & Kelley Dixon, no Vince)
1. Kelley felt she needed a portion with Aaron because he was so important this episode, so she recorded with him a couple months after recording the earlier part
2. Bryan & Aaron read episode scripts while looking over each other’s shoulders and saying OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS???
3. This is the episode where it was 5°F while they filmed in the desert
4. You’ll see Aaron & Bryan & Bob have their hands shoved in their pockets bc they have like 5 hand warmers in each pocket
5. Aaron feels the hug was just another way for Walt to toy with him. His first reaction was to be even more terrified of him. They played it many different ways
6. Aaron sees how Bob Odenkirk has grown as a dramatic actor over his role...he went up to Aaron after their fight scene & said (out of breath) “I gotta tell you, this is the highlight of my career”
7. Aaron was sooo happy Jesse figured out about Brock. He’s been waiting and hoping for that
Drake Lang 💕
It always happens when there’s one I’m particularly excited about! 😂

I was always ride or die with Heisnberg, no matter what. I love a good Villian.
Jesse says “Just tell me you need this!” And listen for that same line again later in the last episode!!!
There's nothing more heart warming than watching Steven get pumped up
when the series was over Sir Anthony Hopkins wrote a fan letter stating it was the best acting he had ever seen by everyone on the show , ,
I love how, even when he's holding someone at gunpoint and trying to find and kill him, Jesse still sees Walt as his old schoolteacher and calls him "that asshole MISTER WHITE"
🤥😯 🚬 ⛽️
Breaking Bad is a piece of art.
Jamie Capucci breaking bad is a drug
Amogus
Guys, when the show was on AMC, Walt was celebrated as a hero. So much, that Anna Gunn was getting death threats. Great reaction guys
If you watch closely you can see Huel take the bag from Jesse when he leaves Saul's office. He really is good at pick pocketing 😆
His size plays to his advantage because no one in the world would ever expect the morbidly obese man to be the slick one. Huel Babineaux is Saul's right hand man for good reason.
@@ItsDefOver9000 he can also bump into people on "accident" to get close, because of his size no one really pays attention to it. imo
These last 8 eps get better with each Ep! Love you two❤️
Awesome reactions!
Nikki looks just very shocked.
Steven looks also shocked but smiles at the same time like "Hehe. Something bad is happening." :-D
I think the hug that Walt gave Jesse was genuine he did still care for him as a nephew and it made him sad that Jesse thought he would even kill him
Walt himself directly never killed anybody that he didn't consider a criminal
@ABreathOfReason no, walt killed mike because walt needed to kill mike's guys in prison but mike wouldn't give the go ahead. So if walt killed the guys then Mike would come after walt so like always walt did what he had to do.
And Todd killing sharp happened so fast there's nothing walt could have done, it wasn't his fault.
@ABreathOfReason yeah I know he said he could have gotten the names from lidia, what I said was mike was against the killing of his guys so walt couldn't do it with him alive. Of course walt apologized because hes a good guy and didnt want to kill him but like I said he had to do it. Just like Mike wanted to kill him after killing guss, the same reason Mike got so pissed off and punched Walter in the face that day at the bar for even suggesting it.
But you still bring it up like you're using it to make a point. Why bring it up at all? Just cause he didnt have the same reaction as jesse doesn't mean walt wanted it to happen or didn't feel bad about it afterwards.
@ABreathOfReason stowing Mike's gun away is not him reacting. Nor was he expecting to have to defend himself from Mike or else he wouldn't have left the gun in his car. He fully planned on killing Mike if he didn't give up the names and he left the gun in the car because Mike has already down Walt how good he is at spotting a gun. He didn't want Mike to see it coming. It just so happens Mike pissed him off before he did it.
@Drake Lang ego had nothing to do with it. He needed mike out of the way to take out his guys in prison. Walt doesnt kill without a good reason.
@Drake Lang I'm just saying Walt is just a focused individual ,who initially started cooking meth to provide for his family,but his real reason was his regret of walking out of a company that is later worth billions,and he never wants to make the same mistake twice.But he doesn't go out of his way to kill,he avoids it as much as possible.He obviously knew what doses of lily of the valley would be just enough to hospitalize , yet not kill Brock.
The last season of this show is the best final season ever made PERIOD.. I give you..THE GOAT
Team Walter White forever. Without his genius and brilliance there is no show. Period
22:00 I have always felt as if that when Walts hugging Jesse there.. thats just him, not Heisenberg. You can tell by the expression on his face when hugging him.. he went there with bad intentions, but in that moment he was genuinely sorry for doing what he felt he had to here..
I doubt he went there with bad intentions, he’s always cared for Jesse. Thought the whole show he’s considered him a son or nephew.
@@David_saseki i watched jane die
@@mahadbahad9895 yea watched him die, but why did he go there in the first place.
@@mahadbahad9895 her
No he doesn't give a shit about him and never did. Ppl that think Walt actually loves Jesse have issues
At minute 19:00 Hank realizes he's screwed because Walt paid his medical bill. Also, I realize that Nikki and Steve forgot that Hank did not know Walt paid his medical bills.
Hail Vince Gilligan, Great Piece of Writing and great Preformance by Cast.
When you guys are done with the final episode, you should rewatch the pilot, and react again. It's incredible to remind yourself of how he used to be, especially when the final product is so fresh in your mind.
That's a really good idea. Season 1 and season 5 literally feel like completely different shows.
Huell is a god tier pick pocketer. Nobody suspects a massive dude to have the hands of a stealthy thief.
Walt is not a villain. He's an antihero. You don't have to agree morally with anything Walt does. HOWEVER you as the audience need to understand WHY Walt does what he does. Understanding his reasoning for his actions is what generates sympathy for the character and why you care and remain invested in his story.
He's not a "bad guy" per se. There is no good or bad, the world isn't black and white and doesn't conform to such simplistic labels. The whole world since the dawn of man has been nothing but shades of gray. The whole point of storytelling is to put you the audience member into the character's shoes and into their point of view. And for us to realize that perhaps if we were placed in the same extreme situations, we more than likely would act the same way as the characters do.
He is a villain and you're a psycho
I don't think most people are suggesting that Walt is a good guy lol. They just don't hate him every step of the way.
Actually, this isn't necessarily true. There are still far too many Walt Apologists who outright excuse his actions as being "for the family," and outright despise Skylar for "getting in his way." It's absolutely nuts.
@@roseofthegarden_ I'm sure that's true but I think this comment section is mostly in agreement that Walt is not the good guy in this story but many love him regardless.
@@roseofthegarden_ walt is a good guy
right, wish people would really recognize that walt isn't some heartless monster. twisted individual but he isn't heartless, things aren't so black and white. if walt was really like how so many see him, this show wouldn't exist, the conflict would be easily dealt with because he'd have no love for anyone, what about family? what about hank and Jessie? that'd be his mindset.
The video Walter gave Hank CEMENTED him in my mind as an epic villain. That was some Joker shit. It takes me back when Walt lied to Jessie about poisoning the kid. Last season he is lying and thinks of the perfect lie, and as he does he falls to the ground laughing maniacally. He's like a full on villain.
I'm in the hospital and have been looking forward to this episode review. You guys are the highlight of my day today lol. Great episode!
Walt loved Jessie. He worked him over because he is just addicted to manipulating but he cared for Jessie like a son. Jessie still called him Mr White out of teacher/ father figure. Their relationship is twisted but it is definitely like family.
This is the third time I watch the series and it reassures me that every season is even greater than the previous one. The twist and turns of the fifth season specially the last 8 episodes just leave me nuts every time I rewatch them. And I agree...every episode rises the climax a bit more. All the time I was trying to fix that cold opening in the story and I always discovered me wrong with my predictions.
Thanks for the reaction videos they are great. You are strong people if you are able to watch season 5 one by one, the first time I watched it I had to start next episode many times after just finishing the previous ;)
Aaron Paul in season 5 gave one of the best performances on tv ever.
The reason Todd was telling the train robbery story (minus the part about him murdering the boy) was that they were on their way back to New Mexico from wiping out Declan's crew and taking the methylamine, which you can see them driving away from the restaurant with.
Vince Gilligan who was a writer for this show and Better Call Saul was also a writer and producer for the Xfiles.
BMWfan86 Vince was much more than a writer lmao he basically created the show
Vince Gilligan is the mastermind behind breaking bad
How did you fail to mention that Bryan Cranston was in one episode of The X-Files, called "Drive", and Vince Gilligan wrote that episode too. It's because of Bryan Cranston's performance in The X-Files that Vince knew he would be perfect in Breaking Bad.
Aaron Paul was also in a episode
@@Tom8683-r2b Yep. Bryan Cranston's episode was definitely the standout between the two, though.
There are three confessions that I can count in this episode.
Todd's confession about that train heist (omitting the part where he murdered the child at the end), Walt's fake confession framing Hank, and finally Saul's confession that he is partially responsible for poisoning Brock. What's interesting as well is what ISN'T confessed in this episode. Walt still will not take responsibility for the death of Mike, and he still will not admit to manipulating Jesse.
And that hug at the end... Fans can debate whether or not the hug was genuine or not, but I don't think it matters. However sincere Walt may be feeling, however he may try with all his might to fix things, it's too fucking late. I think that also speaks to his ego, that he thinks he can just walk away from everything and face no consequences for the hell he has wrought.
Fun fact: If you replace "Hank" with "Heisenberg" (if that's how you spell it) in the confession, it still fits perfectly. And summarizes the entire plot up to this point perfectly. Good writing on Vince Gilligan's part.
I tear up everytime I see that scene with Walt and Jesse in the desert. Its so heartbreaking. Such phenomenal acting also by Aaron Paul
When a reaction gets you so fired up and ready to start your day!! This reaction made the episode so much better to watch. love you guys!!
"I need to watch more!" ~ Nikki Same here. 🤥 😮 🚬 ⛽
Jessy needs so much love and hug in this episode. What an actor
Regarding the scene with Jesse in the desert, I think at this point Walt can't even tell himself when he's manipulating someone. Like it's become so natural to him, and he only sees it when he sees how scared Jesse is of him.
Well guys, gotta tell you that HUG was real.😭
Watching this tape again is crazy! I forget how good it was and believable!
The hug was genuine. Walt really does care about Jesse, in many ways more than his own son.
Also, Jesse making the connection between the weed and the ricin doesn’t make sense because the toxicology report showed no ricin in Brock’s system. There is still no evidence linking Walt to poisoning Brock.
Just wanted to say I absolutely love your new podcast! And you guys should be super proud that within literally a minute of you uploading your reactions you get about 2000 views! Great editing great reactions and great reactors! You deserve it ♡
At least huel got to keep the weed after that stressful situation 😂
I supported Walt 100%
?????????? that’s not good
Walt is such a good guy.... always doing right by his family
Patrick Bateman ha!!!
You should watch Better Call Saul after this. It's a little slower, less intense, but still a master class in television. The interpersonal character drama is some of the best ever put to the screen.
The writing, cinematography, and the acting on this show are on another level.
27:32 i like hpw nikki is acting like shes the one who figured out what was going on with jesse when she had no idea 😂
14:44 nice office space reference lol!
Walt confesses his crimes: "Once I brought a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel..."
🤥😮🚬⛽
The episode posted on 420 had to be the one where Hule takes away the weed...wtf Hule?😂 Happy 420!😁😉😂
He crashed the car too save hank ... Gus wanted to kill him. If they showed up their ... Gus would of had him killed
Okay, Walt stans REALLY need to stop pretending everything Walt has done was to protect his family. If Walt had drive him to the Laundry mat he would have been caught, plain and simple. It wasn't about Gus. It was about Walt preserving his own life.
It just happened in this episode, Walt was trying to manipulate Jesse into leaving town and framing it as " just trying to help you Jesse" and luckily Jesse has become smart enough to see through it now and call him out on it. It may have started out being about his family but now its always about Walt and Walt first. Stop pretending he's this crusader fighting for his family. It's Walt first.
You really think at the high of season 4, Walt was driving thinking "omg Hank, what's going to happen hank if I show up with him, omg Hank, or no my brother hank." you really think that's what the great mass murderer Hisenberg was thinking? The Mas was seconds away from his drug empire slipping away and everything he's worked for crumbling. It's wasn't about Hank, it was about him.
@@Paul94096 Dude, I see you fucking everywhere in these reaction videos doing nothing but shitting on Walt. Like, you never contribute anything meaningful to the discussions.
Find something better to do with your time.
@@Jeremy-jm3fe Yea, those people don't understand nuance. A lot of Walt hate is overblown and simplistic.
@@Paul94096 No one is pretending EVERYTHING Walt did, was for his family, at a certain point it turned to being only about him building an empire. The difference here is, he still tried to protect his family from being killed when shit went down. He did actually save Jesse and Hank a couple times, hell, Hank wasn't even technically family to him anymore and he still did what he could to save him. If he was as evil as people say he was, he would have had no problem with Jesse or Hank being dealt with a while ago. Walt is HORRIBLE but those really close to him, I feel, he really does care for. It was also a gradual build up for him to becoming this type of evil, where he thinks not even for a second before killing people now. That's what makes the show so good, both are true. Kinda like split personality except he can just choose when he switches it on.
Did you know Walts confession was a one take? Gosh i love bryan cranstons action so much!
Edit: 23:43 look closely, what happend there.. :D
It's on TH-cam, it was a Bluray bonus. Was over 6 minutes.
Also note when Saul left the room to get a bag for the money, it was an excuse to quietly order Huell to lift the marijuana off Jesse.
Its so fucking crazy, they even put in a tiny wrinkle sound effect so you know thats what happened.
shit i watched the show like 2 times and never saw that happening
@@Clemente-rr7uh me neither
I’ve watched this show six times and it somehow still amazes me how this show manages to get better and better with each episode
🤥😯🚬⛽️
I always thought Dean Norris was overlooked on the last season acting wise. Cranston and Paul were so good, but Dean held his own
Wow, I can't believe Hank would do all of that... he seemed like such a nice, ordinary fellow.
Dude Walter manipulated Walt Jr. He just ascended to a whole another level on the evil scale
That's what did it? Not the poisoning of children, murder of dozens, threatening to ruin his brother in laws life but getting Walt Jr to stay in the house lol
I think it's just on an emotional level this was probably the worst thing Walt did at this point. He manipulated his own flesh and blood, his loving son who sees his father as the greatest guy and a hero. And he used what would work best, his own cancer.
It's a dickhead move but it's really not even a speck on the other atrocities he has done. The emotional impact in Skylar, Hank and Marie alone is worse than this imo.
What makes it worse to me is that this guy is his son. Hank and Marie are just relatives by marriage, and Skyler, well she's sort of a willing accomplice (or has been) and needs to protect herself too. She made her own choices, such as laundering Walt's money.
@@Fbitypeshit She had no other choice, her family would have been ruined, possibly lost her kids or gone to jail.
I will keep supporting Walt. This is a protective measure. Like how do people really hate on Walt? I feel like Jane and Gale are the only areas that Walt handled unnecessarily. Everything else has been protective measures of Skyler and his family. He’s not trying to incriminate Hank, but he’s leaving Hank with the decision to incriminate himself. Rather merciful if you ask me when considering the guy you believe to be so evil and selfish.
I don’t understand how you guys don’t think Walt is a good guy just trying to look out for his family. This all started for them, and he also really cares for Jesse. He’s not always working him because he actually don’t have a bond with Jesse.
being responsible for poisoning a kid, not showing sympathy for the deaths he's caused, etc. It may all be for his family, but all these things he's done are pretty horrific. I don't think the average good guy does stuff like what Walt does to protect their family.
People who said Breaking Bad is a bad show to react to must not have ever seen the show. Great reaction. 😮🚬⛽🤥
Or people who have the attention spans of lemmings, or who are immature youngsters who only like comic book type shows.
They are just plain Stupid..
People said that?
@@willigagbob8243 That's what Steven said in this video, lol. Plus I remember people saying that in the community section when Steven & Nikki were deciding which show to watch.
Omg, after they finish this I'm going to do a full N&S BrBa season 1-5 marathon
Same
You'd be better off rewatching the actual episodes. The reaction edits leave out many of the nuances and context.
@@Jeremy-jm3fe Just join them on patreon for FULL Episode reactions:)
@@Jeremy-jm3fe actually, I prefer watching the 10 min cuts, who dafuq have time to watch 5 seasons 50 min each episode 🤔
@@henrique-3d If this is a joke, it's a really bad one.
I’m convinced that Anyone who says Walt isn’t the bad guy at this point in the story are either trolling or are extremely scary individuals irl. I love your reaction videos to this show!
Perfect timing. Let's go Yo!
I appreciate the writers tying back the money spent on Hank’s recovery. That was too good. I had forgotten about that money. And I doubt the writers anticipated that early on in the series that that could eventually be used as a weapon against Hank should Walt’s secret be outed. Just another one of a gazillion reasons why this show is just perfect!
Most people can relate to the good guy. This show let's you relate to the bad guy. No one is truly good or bad, just shades of grey.
P.S. gotta break the episodes left into 2 parts to get the picture. Gets really intense...
I had forgotten that Jesse's realisation happened in this episode, wow. From the moment he begins to realise what Saul and Huell did with the ricin, through to the final moments as he pours the gasoline in his rage, my heart is in my throat - every time I see it, even in this reaction. Just wow.
Team walt baby
Breaking Bad at this point out did Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. I lived in Albuquerque for 9 years, I remember season 2 because they filmed at my art school!
It's cool Nikki & Steven, i'm french and i like to see your videos , you understand all subtilities , i'm happy to see this ! :) , good chanel !
Also fun fact, George R Martin of Game of thrones after this season said this is no one in Westeros who is more of a monster than Walter White. That from the guy who created Cersi, Joffrey, Ramsey and the Night King is truly saying something lmao
Who cares!
