@Mister Sir it’s a keen observation. Gilligian had amatuer solutions for his story lines, he should have taken a page from David chases book, this ain’t the xfiles no more son.
@@misaelv9690 They had to keep that wedge between them in there. The moment of love was when she was watching Walt say goodbye to his daughter. What an amazing show!
I think after everything Sky probably wouldn’t want to touch his hand, at that point just her letting him see his daughter was enough. Im glad they didn’t keep it, would be insincere.
@@DuyNguyen-fs3rs No. They re-shot it. In the released scene, although her hand moved, you can clearly see her arm stays straight. There's no touching. Also, her head stays strait up
Don't care what any of the "fans" say. Skyler's character was essential and sympatheticto the story and Anna Gunn deserved every single award she got for playing her.
Why are us “fans” not allowed to dislike her character? Anna did AMAZING and people should never harass her for playing a character, but the character herself? She’s annoying, petty, and selfish. A character being really annoying is harder to like than a character being evil like Walt was, because although you hate Walt you love to see him in every scene, where with skyler it can get pretty annoying. She can be very valid in the show with a lot the issues that happen, and she’s a very well written character, but I feel that people like you aren’t willing to see that her as a person has many annoying qualities, similar to Marie but Marie is more funny annoying whereas Skyler is more annoying annoying.
i can't believe how so many fans acted so hatefully towards her, and her character who was so clearly in the right given the circumstances of her situation. anna gunn seems like a wonderful person, and as time goes on i'm sure her role on the show will only be looked upon more and more favorably.
Rightfully so, hopefully! The first viewing, you kind of champion Walt's intelligence; given he's our main protagonist. On subsequent viewings, you assess all the surrounding characters more and realize just how much of an utter asshole Walt slowly becomes. As Mike rightfully acknowledges, Walt's pride and ego becomes blown up and ugly; to the point where the aggression driving him makes him really tedious, unpleasant company for others to surround themselves with. Walt believes he's ALWAYS in the right. I was rooting for Hank SO MUCH more on repeat watches.
I just found her scenes boring, not because i was into some gangster stuff but back in the days, i just wanted the action and the brain games between all the strong characters
@@ollieclixby3199 precisely this. The first time I watched Breaking Bad it was on a weekly episode basis and then a whole year of no episodes between seasons and breaks. So I hated the character Skylar. When I binged it a couple years later I hated Heisenberg. Masterpiece of a show!
@@ollieclixby3199 I really HATED Walt on 2nd watch, and disliked Skylar a lot less. Watching as an adult as opposed to as a teenager you realize how awful of a person Walt is and how he drove Skylar to do the things she did.
@@ComfortableTool86 Absolutely! You consider the mature character actions so much more; in that, you put yourself in her position and realize what hell it would have been. It's like when Walt & Jr are watching Scarface in the last season. When I was MUCH younger, I loved Tony Montana and rooted for him, however when I watch it now, I can't help but see how ugly and idiotic a character he actually is, "with his pride and his EGO"
When he just brushes her hand on the way out, i do think they should of kept that in, as a sort of wordless but mutual acknowledgement that this was the final goodbye. I thought that was so powerful.
They did you just couldn't see it. I think it would've changed viewers interpretation on how skyler felt when walt left, not that she hated him, but in fact, the opposite.
Yeah I agree, seriously too bad that was missed because you really are left with the feeling that Skylar hates him still and just barely managed to let him see his baby one last time... too bad but at least we got to see it here
@@roddydykes7053 I think it's more then that i felt that when walt told the truth she saw the man she once loved and for that moment I guess she forgave him as a wife otherwise she wouldn't let him see Holly. But things have changed now even if she forgive him it will not change anything and I think that's art you can see many things out of one frame or painting
this is how I felt when I finished season 5 last night. just wanted to give all the actors a big hug and thank them for all the great memories and for keeping me entertained for weeks during one of the darkest times in my life. watching this show regularly helped me with my depression and I'll always cherish it. I've never really been into tv series.. I have enjoyed a couple but this was the first one to really get to me emotionally.

Part of Walt's villainy is how he is able to manipulate the characters around him to believe and do what he wants and he also manipulates the audience the same way. But I think Walt has truly convinced himself up until the end that what he is doing he is doing for the good of his family. Only at the end does he except the fact that this whole time, he did it for himself.
I legit get mad at people who say they hate Skyler. She was probably one of the characters with the most dynamic struggles in the show played by one of the most talented actors in television.
@@NCProjectM Yeah death threats to Anna are so not okay but also not surprising. A lot of women stay in relationships even when they’re not in love anymore, or when they’re being treated badly, because they cling to the idea that they have this perfect family, and will not let that go at all costs. Skyler strikes me as this type of character throughout the series, from her micromanaging of the finances in the pilot episode, to her pushing Walt to do chemo when he didn’t want to, to her unwillingness to turn Walt in for her fear of Junior finding out that his father is a criminal. I think a lot of people who hold more patriarchal views were too blinded by the machismo of Heisenberg in juxtaposition to the meekness of Walter to realize that Skyler was never meant to be portrayed as a perfect or innocent character. It’s just that her desire to control and contain, while it pales in comparison to the sociopathy that splits Walt in two, reminds people of the wishy-washiness that sometimes emerges when a woman wants a divorce but won’t fully come to terms with the fact that it means the marriage is beyond repair. The writers of the show didn’t do Skyler any favors in that area by bringing up arguments between Walt and Skyler over Walt’s access to the home and the children. Thankfully most men are not sociopaths and will not rise to the level of evil criminality that Walt did, either because their moral compass is too strong or they’re not intelligent enough or simply because they live in the real world where nobody is as lucky as a TV actor. But I bet a lot of average dudes let out a lot of pent-up rage against their exes by writing awful things to Anna.
I just binged the show recently and I’ve heard forever how awful of a character she was and I was sitting there at the end of the show wondering if I missed something 😂
Notice in this take she holds his hand before he leaves and in the final cut she sort of raises her hand a bit because she wants to touch him but she restraints herself
I found the acting good but nothing special. All of these actors could be replaced and the show would still have been great. The only exception is Aaron Paul, he would have been hard to cast. We all know someone who is a little like him, yet I can't think of an actor who would be as perfect for the part, maybe Edward Norton, I don't know.
My first time watching, I thought Skyler was annoying but after watching the series over and over I realized Skyler was so grounded and right about everything, Walt was a monster. And THAT is the genius of the show, realizing you were rooting for Walt initially because his story was badass and interesting but with a closer look, you realize the hardship and struggle Skyler went through. I love this show so much. I watch it every year.
I love that Aaron showed up to peer around the corner for Anna's last scene, hidden out of sight. That's a very common thing that actors do, to watch their fellow actors at work.
I get such a weird feeling from these final moments videos. You want to do it right, that's what you're there for, but if you do it right, 30 seconds from now it's over.
The hardest part of any production of this kind is the final performance and the immediate aftermath because you build a strong family dynamic with your fellow actors and crew only for it to end and be gone all at once. That part of acting, whether in a TV show, film, or on stage is extremely tough sometimes. But the best part of being part of something like this are the memories made along the way and the final product that continues to amaze people. Everyone on this show can look back and say they were part of something amazing. Truly a blessing. God bless these guys. :)
WHY AM I CRYING?! UGH. I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW SO DAMN MUCH, I can't get enough of it! Incredible, incredible acting all throughout! I love all the actors, I love VINCE Gilligan - what a sight!
Anna played the role so well. I know she is sometimes voted as one of the less liked characters. But I think that just proves her incredible acting skills.
I'm going to film school in about 7 months, it's my absolute life goal to be a part of creating something even half as beautiful as breaking bad. What a gem of a show. Grateful to have gotten the pleasure to watch it as it was getting released
I'm getting SUPER emotional watching this because I know how much of herself Anna had to put into the role for five seasons and I just appreciate that. With all of them. Also, my mom and I watched the show together every week until the series finale, when I was in the hospital with blood clots and she had to be at home because she couldn't drive at night. So memories of the final season are emotional for me anyway.
Such a good team ethic on set. A real appreciation for the overall piece. Very cool for Aaron to come and watch Ana and Walt's final scenes together. That's how it should be.
As for me, I dont hate Skyler. I like her being an obstacle to Walt. The hate may be coming from her infidelity but yeah towards the end she helped Walt afterall.
I hate the hate on Skyler. Anna and Bryan’s scenes together were some of the best acting in the whole series. At first I didn’t quite get her magic, but this series is nothing without her.
I love how in every one of these Last Moments On Set videos where Aaron _isn’t_ in the scene, there’s a long, close shot of him peeking around the door 😭 It’s obviously very sweet and emotional but the visual by itself is so fucking funny.
amazing show to be a part of. I was up my friends and they said you have to watch this thing, I watched the first episode got hooked and averaged 4 episodes a day until I finished it all. I'll probably re-watch it all again next year as its been a good few years now and I forget a LOT about it, bar the key moments.
I sure Aaron Paul was crying because it was Anna Gunn's last shot on the show AND because that scene was so difficult to watch. Apparently, Vince Gilligan couldn't finish the scene without crying!!
The acting is just so real from every character and I will never tire of watching it, and even the genuine affection these people have for each other at the end of filming is obviously the reason why this will hands down never be topped and I was a sapranos junkie, Bryan Cranston and James Gandolfini are two of the finest actor’s I’ve been very fortunate to watch at their absolute best
Can’t believe that Skyler is more hated than actual terrible characters in the show. I was always so happy whenever she called out Walt on his bullshit because he annoyed tf out of me with his constant narcissism and arrogance. The hate she gets is definitely due to misogyny lmao
amazing show, as a young man fighting stage 4 lung cancer I am 26 - I was actually diagnosed the day after my 21st birthday. This show was incredible and portrayed the feeling of finding out "you have cancer" perfectly. I promise you that is how it feels to find out life changing news in a few seconds. It all becomes a blur and a million things race thru your mind at once. Thank you to the cast and crew.
Same with Hank. At first he comes across as a brash, arrogant cop. But as you got to hate Walter more and more, you (I) got to appreciate Hank. As for Jesse, I love the irony of his character reportedly supposed to be killed off in season one and ending up being the last character you see in the final season.
I remember all those years ago in my high-school, I was in a production called " fame game " which took up almost 5 months of work through out that year of school. We all got so connected with one and other and we felt like we were a family. When that came to an end it felt like a part of my life was coming to an end, a very sad but honorable time, it's a strange feeling to explain if you've never been in that environment before so I can only imagine skylers emotions on such a huge project.
That scene I think is the greatest scene in all of breaking bad and better call saul. Someone so guilty and evil holding someone so innocent and cheerful. It's heartbreaking holly will have to grow up without a father for the first few years. And it's heartbreaking that she will have Walter's legacy following her wherever she goes. And people will judge her on that
I don't think she ever got the credit for how well she played Skylar, she had been hated for so long because of this role but if anything that shows how good she played Skylar
I love how everyone is referring to Aaron Paul standing behind the scene as Jesse. The acting in this show was beyond spectacular, you felt that you were in the middle of their world. That it was real, that it did exist, and you were watching video of the actual events play out, not just another drama series on TV.
The only series that made me cry watching the final episode. Knowing I won't see them again but excited at the same time to binge watch the entire season again after 1 month :D
they hold hands for a brief second as walt begins to leave? i cant believe the angle they used for the episode hid that. skylar and walt are one of the most believable fictional couples. before all this, he was her bestfriend, lover, father of her kids, her rock and security. even after all walt did to harm their family, none of it was done to intentionally hurt the family. skylar knows that. skylar knows walt didnt mean for hanks death or any other troubles. now after all this time, even though its brief, she gets to have one last moment with the man who used to be the love of her life. when walt is gently admiring holly, you can see so much emotion in her eyes. i think if anything, skylar feels bad for walt more than anything when he leaves. she knows hes on his last legs, alone, on the run and headed off to his death by jake or cancer. just look at his body language, every word and movement is deliberate and slow. even if she wanted to rage at him or attack him, those emotions quickly melted away when she saw the state he was in.
I just watched that scene once again and I have never noticed this before but Skylars hand is making weird movement - like she wants to reach out but is ashamed of it. check it out. The video above puts a new light on the scene
Oh yeah besides the slight holding of hands but also the movement after which looks like she's thinking "should i say one last word to him." She must have clearly still loved him, even if that love was not the same. Im glad honestly.
Oh my God, I just noticed Walt briefly held Skyler's hand as he walked out of the room. 😞❤️ I don't think it was in the final cut of the episode but it might have been because of the different camera angle and his body blocked that tender moment between them. This is too gut wrenching to watch. I'm sobbing right now. So sad. What an amazing show this was. It's unrepeatable.
Irritating to some people but her reactions were real. Even the part where she asked Walt to kill Jesse, that part is clearly rationalized because of her desperate attempt to protect the family. She has no idea what killing someone would feel like, and she's basing her reactions to Walt's reaction when he killed Fring, like somehow more relieved so she thinks she would feel the same way about Jesse.
I missed it when BB was airing, didn’t even gave a tv, but binged it a few years back. Skyler is my favorite character. Then I saw all the hell Anna got for playing her. It’s f’ing insane that people got mad at an actress.
I think lots of fans had an unhealthy obsession with Walt lol. Skylar is an amazing foil for him and seeing her keep him at bay was refreshing to me. I never really sympathized with Walt after Jane’s death and I admired how Skyler held her own against his madness
UWCB That is for sure the first time I've ever heard someone say Skyler is their favorite character. It's so refreshing! I get so tired of hearing people say they hate her!
Real fact : Jesse cried more than holly in this show.

Even the best actors can’t fake that kind of sincerity. Well done, Anna.
You'd be suprised what people could fake, lol
At 0:34, I know the scene is happening on the right but I am transfixed by Aaron Paul.
Aaron and Anna shot maybe 1 or 2 scenes together. Aaron rarely with with Marie or hank and never with Walt jr
I dont rember marie ever being in the same scenes with jessie but hank and jessie did appear in alot more scenes in the final season
@@henryadams7363 Jesse and Marie did 1 at the end
I have such a deep and emotional relationship with this show and the people involved 😭❤
she's such a good actor. and having to play such a hard role to. she doesn't deserve the death threats she gotten over this character.
She played it so well that half the numbnuts in the world couldn’t see she was ACTING.
Aaron was crying looking at the last shot. And I cried with him. Such a lovely cast....
I get such a weird feeling from these final moments videos. You want to do it right, that's what you're there for, but if you do it right, 30 seconds from now it's over.
The hardest part of any production of this kind is the final performance and the immediate aftermath because you build a strong family dynamic with your fellow actors and crew only for it to end and be gone all at once. That part of acting, whether in a TV show, film, or on stage is extremely tough sometimes. But the best part of being part of something like this are the memories made along the way and the final product that continues to amaze people. Everyone on this show can look back and say they were part of something amazing. Truly a blessing. God bless these guys. :)
I don’t think Anna got enough recognition. She was phenomenal. What a talented actor.
WHY AM I CRYING?! UGH. I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW SO DAMN MUCH, I can't get enough of it! Incredible, incredible acting all throughout! I love all the actors, I love VINCE Gilligan - what a sight!
Anna played the role so well. I know she is sometimes voted as one of the less liked characters. But I think that just proves her incredible acting skills.
I'm going to film school in about 7 months, it's my absolute life goal to be a part of creating something even half as beautiful as breaking bad. What a gem of a show. Grateful to have gotten the pleasure to watch it as it was getting released
These people created indestructible, timeless television history.
Imagine shooting your final scene in one of the best shows in the history of television. Fantastic opportunity for these great performers.
It's been 8 years since the series ended, I still miss it.
Remember: if you hate a character, it just means the actor is doing a good job.
I'm getting SUPER emotional watching this because I know how much of herself Anna had to put into the role for five seasons and I just appreciate that. With all of them. Also, my mom and I watched the show together every week until the series finale, when I was in the hospital with blood clots and she had to be at home because she couldn't drive at night. So memories of the final season are emotional for me anyway.
Such a good team ethic on set. A real appreciation for the overall piece. Very cool for Aaron to come and watch Ana and Walt's final scenes together. That's how it should be.
We may hate Skyler, but Anna did her so well that she got the respect she deserves in her speech and completion :)
I feel so bad for her, honestly. She got death threats because idiots don't know what acting is.
We should appreciate her skills even more, if you hate a character it means the actor/actress did their job
@@ugolattanzio9152 I agree. It still doesn't mean you should hate a person for the character though.
As for me, I dont hate Skyler. I like her being an obstacle to Walt. The hate may be coming from her infidelity but yeah towards the end she helped Walt afterall.
@@miromaynigo If you take a moment and actually think, then yes.
Aaron really loves the show, he cried like us when we watch that scene
1:34 The look on Bryan's face
Anna Gunn's last moments on screen of signifies her, leaving the set of breaking bad. Well done,Vince!
I hate the hate on Skyler. Anna and Bryan’s scenes together were some of the best acting in the whole series. At first I didn’t quite get her magic, but this series is nothing without her.
Exactly. I agree 100%. Skyler was fundamental to the show
At least Holly didn’t get overly emotional.
0:57 Gaele is alive!
I love how in every one of these Last Moments On Set videos where Aaron _isn’t_ in the scene, there’s a long, close shot of him peeking around the door 😭 It’s obviously very sweet and emotional but the visual by itself is so fucking funny.
Aaron hold his tears back watching is such a Jessie thing to do.
I still want to watch it again after watching all the seasons three times :) I love this show, what a masterpiece.
They seem like such a genuine cast
Seeing the love that went into this and the bonds forged in creating it adds a whole new depth to it
i never knew that walt held skylars hand for the last time as he walked out:(
Brilliantly casted show, every single one of them
amazing show to be a part of.
I was up my friends and they said you have to watch this thing, I watched the first episode got hooked and averaged 4 episodes a day until I finished it all.
I'll probably re-watch it all again next year as its been a good few years now and I forget a LOT about it, bar the key moments.
I sure Aaron Paul was crying because it was Anna Gunn's last shot on the show AND because that scene was so difficult to watch. Apparently, Vince Gilligan couldn't finish the scene without crying!!
0:23 He put his head on her shoulder 😍😍 I found it very cute.
The acting is just so real from every character and I will never tire of watching it, and even the genuine affection these people have for each other at the end of filming is obviously the reason why this will hands down never be topped and I was a sapranos junkie, Bryan Cranston and James Gandolfini are two of the finest actor’s I’ve been very fortunate to watch at their absolute best
cannot believe I watch this series in 2021, late asf
Ive never heard of ACTUALLY leaving a job with love; usually there are threats of lawsuits, insults, and tears for all the WRONG reasons
Can’t believe that Skyler is more hated than actual terrible characters in the show. I was always so happy whenever she called out Walt on his bullshit because he annoyed tf out of me with his constant narcissism and arrogance. The hate she gets is definitely due to misogyny lmao
amazing show, as a young man fighting stage 4 lung cancer I am 26 - I was actually diagnosed the day after my 21st birthday. This show was incredible and portrayed the feeling of finding out "you have cancer" perfectly. I promise you that is how it feels to find out life changing news in a few seconds. It all becomes a blur and a million things race thru your mind at once. Thank you to the cast and crew.
How are you feeling now? I wish the best for you and hope you have beaten/or will beat cancer.
I'm sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you, and I hope you'll fight through it
hated her so much first time i watched the show, as I rewatched she sorta became one of my fav characters. such badass acting
Same with Hank. At first he comes across as a brash, arrogant cop. But as you got to hate Walter more and more, you (I) got to appreciate Hank. As for Jesse, I love the irony of his character reportedly supposed to be killed off in season one and ending up being the last character you see in the final season.
I remember all those years ago in my high-school, I was in a production called " fame game " which took up almost 5 months of work through out that year of school. We all got so connected with one and other and we felt like we were a family.
When that came to an end it felt like a part of my life was coming to an end, a very sad but honorable time, it's a strange feeling to explain if you've never been in that environment before so I can only imagine skylers emotions on such a huge project.
I’m just waiting for Jesse to come out from around the corner yelling “YO YO YO BITCH”
That scene I think is the greatest scene in all of breaking bad and better call saul. Someone so guilty and evil holding someone so innocent and cheerful.
It's heartbreaking holly will have to grow up without a father for the first few years. And it's heartbreaking that she will have Walter's legacy following her wherever she goes. And people will judge her on that
The acting in this show feels so natural and clean.
I could watch these behind the scenes videos forever
That’s really nice of you to say! : )
Still the best series in the world. Simply the best. And I will never forget Heisenberg!!!
I don't think she ever got the credit for how well she played Skylar, she had been hated for so long because of this role but if anything that shows how good she played Skylar
I love how everyone is referring to Aaron Paul standing behind the scene as Jesse. The acting in this show was beyond spectacular, you felt that you were in the middle of their world. That it was real, that it did exist, and you were watching video of the actual events play out, not just another drama series on TV.
The only series that made me cry watching the final episode. Knowing I won't see them again but excited at the same time to binge watch the entire season again after 1 month :D
they hold hands for a brief second as walt begins to leave? i cant believe the angle they used for the episode hid that. skylar and walt are one of the most believable fictional couples. before all this, he was her bestfriend, lover, father of her kids, her rock and security. even after all walt did to harm their family, none of it was done to intentionally hurt the family. skylar knows that. skylar knows walt didnt mean for hanks death or any other troubles. now after all this time, even though its brief, she gets to have one last moment with the man who used to be the love of her life. when walt is gently admiring holly, you can see so much emotion in her eyes. i think if anything, skylar feels bad for walt more than anything when he leaves. she knows hes on his last legs, alone, on the run and headed off to his death by jake or cancer. just look at his body language, every word and movement is deliberate and slow. even if she wanted to rage at him or attack him, those emotions quickly melted away when she saw the state he was in.
i like how in most of these ‘final scenes’ aaron paul is just standing in the nearest doorway taking in the moment lmao
Nothing but respect for Anna Gunn 🔥
Jesse escaped slavery to spy on Walt
I just watched that scene once again and I have never noticed this before but Skylars hand is making weird movement - like she wants to reach out but is ashamed of it. check it out. The video above puts a new light on the scene
Oh yeah besides the slight holding of hands but also the movement after which looks like she's thinking "should i say one last word to him." She must have clearly still loved him, even if that love was not the same. Im glad honestly.
Only a great actress can make me simultaneously hate and love their character at the same time ❤️
1:54 the creepy Holly stunt doll....yikes
The finished product is indicative of how much of their heart and soul all involved poured into this show. Bravi!
I like to say "check the gate" just randomly in my life to sound cool
For me it's "Hold the door!"
She's such a amazing actress that people really hate the character she plays
The show actually did a pretty good job on telling you to stop rooting walt. It's just many viewers didn't want to admit it.
That scene was just heartbreaking. They knew they would never see each other again.
Oh my God, I just noticed Walt briefly held Skyler's hand as he walked out of the room. 😞❤️ I don't think it was in the final cut of the episode but it might have been because of the different camera angle and his body blocked that tender moment between them. This is too gut wrenching to watch. I'm sobbing right now. So sad. What an amazing show this was. It's unrepeatable.
Anna’s acting was superb on this show
we all hated skylar due to walts manipulation and the fact that anna gunn is an insanely good actress
Irritating to some people but her reactions were real. Even the part where she asked Walt to kill Jesse, that part is clearly rationalized because of her desperate attempt to protect the family. She has no idea what killing someone would feel like, and she's basing her reactions to Walt's reaction when he killed Fring, like somehow more relieved so she thinks she would feel the same way about Jesse.
I'm genuinely surprised she didn't appear in Better Call Saul
I missed it when BB was airing, didn’t even gave a tv, but binged it a few years back. Skyler is my favorite character. Then I saw all the hell Anna got for playing her. It’s f’ing insane that people got mad at an actress.
Dude I know! I love Skyler and it’s crazy that she got so much hate! I get why, she’s foiling Walt’s plans, but he’s not doing good things!
I think lots of fans had an unhealthy obsession with Walt lol. Skylar is an amazing foil for him and seeing her keep him at bay was refreshing to me. I never really sympathized with Walt after Jane’s death and I admired how Skyler held her own against his madness
UWCB That is for sure the first time I've ever heard someone say Skyler is their favorite character. It's so refreshing! I get so tired of hearing people say they hate her!
This show was so powerful. I have never seen another show as good as this one
