Gus saw the potential Jesse had and that Walter was blocking that potential. He gave Jesse the chance to spread his wings and wanted to remove the problem that was Walter white. He truly was a criminal genius but let his one emotional weakness get the better of him.
the whole thing with jesses loyalty and how its mentioned and showed is super cool because it just reminds me of when walter said jesse just does what he says and then i can just imagine gus just remembering that after everything jesse did because he was told to
I’ve never seen a show that does these tension/panic scenes as good as breaking bad! They could legit showcase walt making coffe in a hurry to Get to work and it would be more intense then 90% of other shows😂😂😂
N: "This episide gave me a headache" S: "This is so crazy. These last 2 episodes left me with my head spinning in circles." BB: Hold my beer 🍺 Gus Fring is supposedly the smartest guy in the show. Back in S4E4 Tio refers to him as "Grand Generalissimo" implying he was part of dictator Pinochet's military/regime in Chile. This may be why Hank couldn't find any trace of a "Gustavo Fring" in Chile before Pinochet's fall. I always suspected Fring was some high level enforcer for Pinochet, essentially a war criminal who remade his life in Mexico. Explains his Machiavellian scheming, keen survival instincts, & utter ruthlessness. 😱 🕵 💣 🚬
@@jimmackey6110 It's hard to catch on 1st watch. There are a few moments in early S4 where someone snarkily alludes to Fring's backstory/origins, primarily at the casa Cartel in Mexico. Don Eladio spares Gus for some reason...perhaps aware of who he really is as he addresses him with total hostility as "the Chilean". He practically spits the title out. And the story pointing to an identity change after Pinochet's fall...entry into Mexico and the US in the mid-80's lines up perfectly with Pinochet being investigated and brought down for human rights abuses. Gus is definitely someone hella scary. Would also explain his super long wait to get even with the cartel after his friend/lover was killed - he couldn't risk blowing his new identity/life. Less likely, but possible: Gus had to flee Chile/Pinochet because of his homosexuality (vaguely hinted at by Eladio & co.). The ultra-right wing of that regime would've killed any homosexual they got their hands on. But that doesn't explain Tio's nickname, or Don Eladio's hesitation to kill Gus. Him being part of Pinochet's govt/secret police does.
@Joe T Apparently, the viewership for this series greatly increased when Netflix dropped the first 3 seasons of Breaking Bad on their streaming service. Before then, this show was fairly niche. That's part of why it's still on Netflix, because Vince Gilligan owes a lot to them for making this popular.
When Gus heard the boy was poisoned, you see his face change. The first time watching it, you don't know if it was him or not, so knowing Gus, ur first instinct is to take it as a threat. It was actually Gus realizing that something was wrong with the picture. Walt gets fired, then suddenly Brock gets "mysteriously" poisoned, shutting down production, and getting Gus to the hospital where he isn't under surveillance. He put two, and two together, and decided not to take the only chance he gave Walter at this point. He was a smart cookie.
24:30 They even included Jane's Demise on the soundtrack of the scene. The song appeared one episode close to the Season 2 finale. And now it appears again, one episode close to the Season 4 finale.
Steven was so shook by Crawlspace he had to go shave 😂 Gus is such a professional that he thought “if I were going to kill someone like me right now how would it be?” He knew it was a perfect opportunity to get him.
You're seeing why Breaking Bad is one of the most highest rated tv shows in history. It's beyond amazing. Anyway, you're not the only one who thought Skylar was gonna get sniped. Thought it too when I first watched it. 😱🔎💣
Yeah I did too. It's brilliant how they use the small moments to support the big moments. I know that's usually the goal for most shows. But BB(and BCS) just does it so much better than anyone else.
Podcast Notes: End Times (#7 is hilarious) Guests: producer Diane Mercer; co-exec producer Melissa Bernstein; Aaron Paul; composer Dave Porter; co-writer Tom Shnauz 1. Vince directed this episode. There was a scene that was written where Jesse ran to Saul’s office before going to Walt’s, but it was cut before shooting. 2. Tom doesn’t believe he wrote Walt pressing the gun to his head and saying “DO IT! DO IT!”, but that it was added on set. Vince forgot it wasn’t written. Vince didn’t realize the gun left the mark on Walt’s forehead until he saw the edits! Aaron said Bryan added the grabbing of the gun & pressing it into his head & they did it in one take. 3. A Newsweek reporter was on set the day that scene was shot; it was the hardest day Vince had directed...things weren’t working, and he felt he was failing. But looking back, he freaked out over nothing - the performances were fantastic. Vince felt he didn’t know what he was doing, but the actors made the scene amazing. 4. There was another scene not shot with Jesse & Walt brainstorming at the kitchen table. Jesse is throwing out ideas for what to do to get to Gus, and it’s all stuff Walt has already tried (storm the restaurant, go to his house, etc) 5. There were actual DEA agents visiting the set the day Gomez goes to the laundry. They pointed out some mistakes & Vince adjusted while still doing some things not exactly how they’d do it bc tv reasons. 6. The dog was a NM state police dog named Sasha 😍 Handlers carry a little actual pot on them/in the car that another person will hide for the dog to find because they get disheartened when they don’t find anything. 💕 7. Aaron gets approached on the street by people asking for drugs/blue...and by people saying “what are you doing! You idiot! You’re going to get everyone killed!” And by people telling him he looks like the guy on BB. And one guy said, when he was wearing the Steve Aoki shirt (white with the silhouette of his hair & moustache) he wore in Problem Dog, “OMG! That shirt was on Breaking Bad! Do you guys watch that show? Where did you get that shirt!!?” 🤣 Aaron’s friend was like...but...do you know _him?_ and the guy was blank...so his friend said “he plays Jesse!” And the guy lost it, put his face in his hands, was SOOO embarrassed! 8. The 💣 Walt was cooking was the same kind Timothy McVeigh used at Oklahoma City 9. The hospital they film in was sold to new owners, and part of the deal was that it couldn’t be used as a hospital for a period of 5 years, so it’s been rented out to different films and tv productions 10. How does Gus know? They’re very cheeky in not answering. Vince says Gus is the smartest guy we’ve seen in the show, Walt included. Gus definitely doesn’t see Walt physically on the other rooftop.
Jessica Number 6 makes me so happy! I’m glad to hear that steps are taken to make sure dogs still feel accomplished in situations like filming fake scenes for tv or movies.
I love the way they get Walt in a green shirt to show his envy and revenge.Jesse dressed in black to show sorrow and death and Skylar In beige showing the colour in her life is draining away.
Just something to add how talented the crew on this show is/was: I read a while back that the gun spinning on the table was connected to a wire, or some sort of device to make it hit those exact spots the three times, but it got reflected in the glass surface of the table, and could be seen underneath, as it is see-through, so they CGI'ed the table completely in shots where the gun spins on it. Very impressive, looks like a real table, and like nothing changed.
Elisabeth Larsen they talked about it on the podcast, something about a dowel...I kind of faded out during that part admittedly as it was when I was walking the dogs and there were squirrels around! 😂 what you said sounds right to what made it into my brain!
Well technically if he had kept his mouth shut about Gale's notebook, Hank wouldn't have looked into it more and never would've suspected Gus in the first place.
Season 4 finale is one of the best payoffs of all time.... Underrated scene in this episode that I like and really pulled me in was the tracking shot of the dog hopping up on the washing machines at the laundry mat when Gomez is taking pictures....It's so quiet and intense and you're just in suspense as to if the dog is going to find something.
That scene between Walt and Jesse is one of the most intense scenes I have ever witness when I first saw it back in the day! Great acting from Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. A little trivia: During filming of that scene when Jesse points the gun at Walt. Bryan Cranston improvise by grabbing Aaron Paul's hand and pushing the barrel of the gun into his forehead hard which cause that mark on his forehead. It shocked everyone there and Aaron most of all hence that great and real reaction he gave, but this scene also add another layer into the overall story between Walt and Jesse's relationship arc because ultimately what is Jesse's greatest regret killing Gale, an innocent man. Now, again Jesse's at another crossroad, but with someone he knows, Walt, not only that but someone deep down he cares about. And another cool little tidbit with this scene proves Jesse is not a monster like he thinks he is or like he's been trying to convince himself he is throughout the pervious episodes. Up until this scene, now he proved to himself he's not a monster.
If I remember correctly, Breaking Bad was one of the first bingeable shows. It was a pioneer in that whole, tv is the new cinema, trend. Revisiting it through you guys has reminded me how blown away I was back when it aired. I remember feeling like I'd never experienced anything like it.
I love that we see Walt’s complexity here, that we see he really does love his family, he’s not unable to feel empathy or love, that he doesn’t only see them as extensions of himself.
im really impressed with how Steven analyzes everything he sees in every show they watch. Makes me sometimes think if he majored in film making or fine arts. 👍👍 Im actually more interested in the couple's banter before and after every episode.
@@NikkiStevenReact That's awesome! But you gotta hand it to Nikki too, it's not just Steven. Both of them are brilliant. I'm as addicted to this series as I'm to the show itself.
I've said it here before: Gus is playing that Star Trek three-level chess, everyone else is trying to bang plastic triangles into star-shaped holes on a Playskool shapes board. At least with this episode, it would seem that Walt has graduated to maybe checkers.
First time I watched this episode, I thought Gus spotted Walt cuz of the reflect of the sun on his glasses (we get a closeup just before the end of the episode) and I couldn't stop laughing!
I usually don't watch reaction videos but I find myself keep coming back to yours, love both your personalitys and your both awesome people. Keep doing what your doing 👍
@James Lucas fair enough, GoT at its peak prolly season 1-4, but still, if I have to choose, I prefer Breaking Bad 3-5 (arguably the show at its peak).
I understand what you're saying Nikki, about Walt just shutting up, but I think Gus was going to have Hank killed regardless of Walt chirping up anyway, so there's that.
_Why did I have to come here, in the end?_ _How someone could exploit this predictable move?_ That would be Fring thoughts while he walked back to his car. So smart!
😱🔍🚬💣 That's why we asked you to react to this show!! Because not only the episodes, but the seasons become more and more complicated and brilliant!!! These series are brilliant!! Etalon for students studying script writing!!!
badru1000 I love GoT passionately, and I don’t like comparing different shows,, but I’ll say BB is simply perfect. The flawlessness of the writing, performances, visuals, everything...pretty much unmatched.
To quote Bill Burr on his statement against Netflix: "That was the great thing about Breaking Bad, you had to wait a week. As opposed to now where you can watch the whole thing in a day and a half; it's like taking a great bottle of wine and shotgunning it"
Hope you guys keep the Breaking Bad train going when the series is over. There's still great stuff to watch like the Honest Trailers, the bloopers, and Bryan Cranston's Sweet 60.
The acting in this show is damn good. That scene with Walt and Jesse was just incredible. That episode went so quick but that's because everything happened so quickly. These last 2 episodes bleed into each other so much they might as well be 1 large episode. It ends so damn good though.
Loving watching you guys experience this show for the first time. I watched the show since the pilot premiered and I remember season 4 and 5 being so damn good that the week wait between each episode felt torturous. I just needed to know what happened next immediately. As much as I love shows like GoT and Walking Dead, they still haven't gotten to the point where I felt desperate for the next episode quite like Breaking Bad did.
It must stress you guys out to have to stick to your schedule instead of just clicking on the next episode 😂😂 thank you for everything you do for your fans!
Love how you guys are so into this. It reminds me of when I was watching this show for the first time and my mind was blown. This season is intense. Television at its best. 😱🕵🏾♀️💣🚬🔎
Watched the full length on Patreon but came here to like and leave the emojis. This was so good watched both reactions! I also thought surely Gus saw some kind of light reflecting off of Walt’s glasses. They kept focusing on them so much. But you never see it, I think Gus is just that smart. 😱🕵️♂️💣🚬
I find it absolutely ridiculous that my whole body was tense and I was super anxious during these last 2 episodes. I've seen this damn show before. Shit be crazy, yo!
(32:50ish) Nikki says she didn’t think Hank was so smart at first. I remember reading something about how in the first season, Hank’s character was written that way. More like he was a tough guy cop, brutish, and not as sharp. Glad his character was taken in this direction. Makes for so much more tension while we wonder if he’s going to piece it together or if Walt covered his tracks enough. 💣🚬😱🕵🏾♂️
When you said that you now have a headache from watching the ending of this episode. Just know that you're not the only one. The composer who scored this episode and Vince Gilligan said that they really wanted the audience to not only understand the gravity of what was happening, but they wanted the audience to actually feel what Walt was going through. Walt was nervous, scared & ultimately feels defeated at episodes end. That score was supposed to be loud and make your ears rings, subsequently giving the person a headache. You feel sick and your head hurts just like Walt feels because he knows that he has doomed his entire family. I felt sick and had a headache after this episode also. Shit, I had a headache and felt sick just watching the reaction. Just know that sick feeling and headache was a planned idea from Vince Gilligan and the Episode's Composer, Dave Porter...
I always say it's crazy to think Vince Gilligan (the creator of the show) started out as a staff writer on the X files he's come a long way he's a brilliant writer and director
Now this was what I have been waiting for!!Been watching your reactions since season 1 episode 1...and this is what it's all about!!I remember you guys going crazy in season 1..and all I could think was...JUST WAIT!!LMAO...The wait has paid off..and boy..you sill have to see the last episode and season 5 haha!!!!!!!!!!!!
This makes me want to go back and rewatch the whole series for the 3rd time. I don't know how it's possbile but somehow I sometimes forget how good these episodes are.
Man, that build up in the end! You are a great,guys! Waiting for every episode and got so much fun and emotions with you) Actually, that thing about poisoned cigarette - today is half of the year since I quite smoking!) Moving up to season 4 Final!)
Man, I love you guys. I wish I could sit in Ghost's spot on the couch and just enjoy your reactions in real time. I'd slip up and spoil something though, so continue doing what you do.
Deathy Toto No. To each is own mate, if you prefer GOT that’s fine. Season 1-4 were a masterpiece but seasons 5-7 were definitely below par. Especially 7. And no television show or season has ever come close to season 5 of breaking bad. And i don’t think anything will. The only thing close to breaking bad in my opinion is the sopranos.
Yes, denial and also he feels better about himself being manly when he views Walt as weak, inferior, and soft...He has always enjoyed making fun of and belittling Walt.
@@ghenry4513 Let's face it. Hank enjoys making fun of & belittling everyone he's in contact with: Walt, Marie, Gomez, even Jr. sometimes. The funny thing about it is, once you realize that it's a coping mechanism for him, you kinda let him get away with it. And sometimes, he's pretty freaking funny - even when it's inappropriate. 🤭🤣
Gus survived Pinochet's Chile, he's survived the cartels, he's not going to get whacked by a high school chemistry teacher. He's lived because he's smarter than the average bear
19:13 Vince Gilligan being the big Quentin Tarantino fan that he is almost recreates a scene from Resolver Dogs. Having Pinkman (Mr. Pink) pointing a gun at Walter White (Mr. White). Except the rolls are reversed.
Preluding conversation to the 'I am the one who knocks' scene from 6 episodes ago: "Did you know this Gale Boetticher person?" "Skyler, I can't even focus. I don't-- " "Gale Boetticher. Did you know him?" "Ha. Oh, my God. What? What exactly did I say last night?" "Just enough. Did you work together? Who killed him? Was it the people you work for?" "Definitely not." "Was it somebody who-- At some point might want to do the same to you?" "I seriously doubt it."
My mind on this episode: Walt had his one chance and it failed.not because of his actions, but gus' mind is too smart. He realizes he is screwed. And the show shows this perfectly.
I am a Chilean Citizen and I can confirm we have no record of any Gustavo Fring.
Diego Bravo best comment 😂😂

Hi Diego! How's Dora?
Thanks for checking haha
Man Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are amazing, can't praise them enough
And Giancarlo Esposito!
@@daffy8995 And always actors on this show
Yes, it's a phenomenal ensemble.
Gus didn’t tear Walt and Jesse apart. Gus “sees things in people”...he saw Walt’s ego and Jesse’s loyalty and situated himself accordingly.
Edgar Anolin I get a different vibe.
Gus saw the potential Jesse had and that Walter was blocking that potential. He gave Jesse the chance to spread his wings and wanted to remove the problem that was Walter white. He truly was a criminal genius but let his one emotional weakness get the better of him.
You are completely on point. absolutely.

Im actually more interested in the couple's banter before and after every episode.
Czars Salad I was a broadcast journalism major in college and did study a lot of film/tv.
@@NikkiStevenReact that's it 😊❤👍
@@NikkiStevenReact That's awesome! But you gotta hand it to Nikki too, it's not just Steven. Both of them are brilliant. I'm as addicted to this series as I'm to the show itself.
I've said it here before: Gus is playing that Star Trek three-level chess, everyone else is trying to bang plastic triangles into star-shaped holes on a Playskool shapes board. At least with this episode, it would seem that Walt has graduated to maybe checkers.
First time I watched this episode, I thought Gus spotted Walt cuz of the reflect of the sun on his glasses (we get a closeup just before the end of the episode) and I couldn't stop laughing!
I usually don't watch reaction videos but I find myself keep coming back to yours, love both your personalitys and your both awesome people. Keep doing what your doing 👍
Gus is a genius, honestly.
Game of thrones is the best show ever.
Walter: stay out of my terrritory.
@James Lucas fair enough, GoT at its peak prolly season 1-4, but still, if I have to choose, I prefer Breaking Bad 3-5 (arguably the show at its peak).
@James Lucas far superior? You’re a joke
you love the visuals and cinematography in this show much, you HAVE to watch better call saul when you're done.
I agree. I think the visuals and cinematography are even better in BCS :)
I understand what you're saying Nikki, about Walt just shutting up, but I think Gus was going to have Hank killed regardless of Walt chirping up anyway, so there's that.
Nikki, I love your nail polish! That color looks awesome on you!
_Why did I have to come here, in the end?_
_How someone could exploit this predictable move?_
That would be Fring thoughts while he walked back to his car. So smart!
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean you are wrong. Tensions are high, Gus is next level paranoid.
😱🔍🚬💣 That's why we asked you to react to this show!! Because not only the episodes, but the seasons become more and more complicated and brilliant!!! These series are brilliant!! Etalon for students studying script writing!!!
One of the best written shows ever! Nikki, I love your reactions, I go from laughing to crying watching you!!
Now I can see why Game of Thrones couldn't compete with this back on the day ....
Because GoT is much better
badru1000 I love GoT passionately, and I don’t like comparing different shows,, but I’ll say BB is simply perfect. The flawlessness of the writing, performances, visuals, everything...pretty much unmatched.
Daenerys Targaryen ha lol no its not
There is many shows better than got even if i love got . got is clearly not as good as some other show
@@camhealy7899 It is accept that.
I am one of gus' guys. I had to bug your house. I had to, for the family.
Where my mind was at the end of this episode? I did not have time to think. I just watched the next episode on Netflix as fast as humanly possible.
Daxter Morgan Me too lol
To quote Bill Burr on his statement against Netflix: "That was the great thing about Breaking Bad, you had to wait a week. As opposed to now where you can watch the whole thing in a day and a half; it's like taking a great bottle of wine and shotgunning it"
It’s Saturday and I wish it was Tuesday. Smh what have y’all done to me?
😆
I can't wait until they see Thursday.
Hope you guys keep the Breaking Bad train going when the series is over. There's still great stuff to watch like the Honest Trailers, the bloopers, and Bryan Cranston's Sweet 60.
Random comment: I love you guys.
Gus's Spidey Sense was tingling 😊
Awesome video, as always. Thank you
😱💣🚬🔎🔍
The acting in this show is damn good. That scene with Walt and Jesse was just incredible.
That episode went so quick but that's because everything happened so quickly. These last 2 episodes bleed into each other so much they might as well be 1 large episode. It ends so damn good though.
Loving watching you guys experience this show for the first time.
I watched the show since the pilot premiered and I remember season 4 and 5 being so damn good that the week wait between each episode felt torturous. I just needed to know what happened next immediately. As much as I love shows like GoT and Walking Dead, they still haven't gotten to the point where I felt desperate for the next episode quite like Breaking Bad did.
20:33 I was always fascinated by the dent made by the barrel on Walt's head. 😱🕵️♂️💣🚬
atom Apparently that was improvised by Bryan. It wasn’t written for the gun to be pressed to his head, it was something that happened in the moment.
It must stress you guys out to have to stick to your schedule instead of just clicking on the next episode 😂😂 thank you for everything you do for your fans!
Love how you guys are so into this. It reminds me of when I was watching this show for the first time and my mind was blown. This season is intense. Television at its best. 😱🕵🏾♀️💣🚬🔎
Yo Mr. White! It’s only 360p. We need to cook this a bit longer.
HD must be respected!
*Tight, tight, tight, yeah!*
Oh, 360p, 480p, 720p, whatever, man! Just keep bringing me that!
@@alinadornieden8411 what about 1080p?????
I wish you guys did the last 2 back to back, I cant wait till next week for the next one, man
Watched the full length on Patreon but came here to like and leave the emojis. This was so good watched both reactions! I also thought surely Gus saw some kind of light reflecting off of Walt’s glasses. They kept focusing on them so much. But you never see it, I think Gus is just that smart. 😱🕵️♂️💣🚬
I find it absolutely ridiculous that my whole body was tense and I was super anxious during these last 2 episodes. I've seen this damn show before. Shit be crazy, yo!
DAMN! That knock @18:25 was so loud it made me jump to check my door
"...knowledge is knowledge!" - LOL! 😁
MY BOYS NIKKI AND STEVEN 360P SQUADDD
(32:50ish) Nikki says she didn’t think Hank was so smart at first. I remember reading something about how in the first season, Hank’s character was written that way. More like he was a tough guy cop, brutish, and not as sharp. Glad his character was taken in this direction. Makes for so much more tension while we wonder if he’s going to piece it together or if Walt covered his tracks enough.
💣🚬😱🕵🏾♂️
When you said that you now have a headache from watching the ending of this episode. Just know that you're not the only one. The composer who scored this episode and Vince Gilligan said that they really wanted the audience to not only understand the gravity of what was happening, but they wanted the audience to actually feel what Walt was going through. Walt was nervous, scared & ultimately feels defeated at episodes end. That score was supposed to be loud and make your ears rings, subsequently giving the person a headache. You feel sick and your head hurts just like Walt feels because he knows that he has doomed his entire family. I felt sick and had a headache after this episode also. Shit, I had a headache and felt sick just watching the reaction. Just know that sick feeling and headache was a planned idea from Vince Gilligan and the Episode's Composer, Dave Porter...
I always say it's crazy to think Vince Gilligan (the creator of the show) started out as a staff writer on the X files he's come a long way he's a brilliant writer and director
Now this was what I have been waiting for!!Been watching your reactions since season 1 episode 1...and this is what it's all about!!I remember you guys going crazy in season 1..and all I could think was...JUST WAIT!!LMAO...The wait has paid off..and boy..you sill have to see the last episode and season 5 haha!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've never wanted you to get to the next episode more than now!! Hurry! 😁👍
Goddamn, this thumbnail is probably the best you've had yet. It almost looks like a movie poster.
Jeremy thank you. Glad you like it. I put a lot of time into the thumbnails so I very much appreciate the comment.
@@NikkiStevenReact Keep up the great work!
Watching this makes me see so much I missed the first time!
crazy most intense episodes you've ever seen... Episode 13 says... hold my beer...
Can't wait for you guys to get to season 5 it's the most epic season ever
This makes me want to go back and rewatch the whole series for the 3rd time. I don't know how it's possbile but somehow I sometimes forget how good these episodes are.
Man, that build up in the end! You are a great,guys! Waiting for every episode and got so much fun and emotions with you) Actually, that thing about poisoned cigarette - today is half of the year since I quite smoking!) Moving up to season 4 Final!)
Man, I love you guys. I wish I could sit in Ghost's spot on the couch and just enjoy your reactions in real time. I'd slip up and spoil something though, so continue doing what you do.
This is just incredible. Best show ever.
ye, 2nd only to GoT
Deathy Toto No. To each is own mate, if you prefer GOT that’s fine. Season 1-4 were a masterpiece but seasons 5-7 were definitely below par. Especially 7. And no television show or season has ever come close to season 5 of breaking bad. And i don’t think anything will. The only thing close to breaking bad in my opinion is the sopranos.
Glasgow Rangers 1872 Yeah if GoT didn’t have that drop in quality in the later seasons, it would probably be #1
Ken Valdivia Just have to see how it ends.
Glasgow Rangers 1872 Hopefully on a high note
You gotta think tho.. it’s easy for Walt to be completely off Hanks radar cause he’s known Walt for years. He’s always been squeaky clean to hank
Yes, denial and also he feels better about himself being manly when he views Walt as weak, inferior, and soft...He has always enjoyed making fun of and belittling Walt.
@@ghenry4513 Let's face it. Hank enjoys making fun of & belittling everyone he's in contact with: Walt, Marie, Gomez, even Jr. sometimes. The funny thing about it is, once you realize that it's a coping mechanism for him, you kinda let him get away with it. And sometimes, he's pretty freaking funny - even when it's inappropriate. 🤭🤣
g henry I do not think he sees Walt as weak and inferior. That’s quite harsh.
Gus survived Pinochet's Chile, he's survived the cartels, he's not going to get whacked by a high school chemistry teacher. He's lived because he's smarter than the average bear
You know when shit gets real when Nikki leans closer to the TV. 😂😂
I love that Dave Porter gave us a "Terminator" feel with the music at the end. Just awesome.
😱 🕵 💣🚬
And this is why people said you needed to squeeze in the finale 😂 You will be going nuts until Tuesday.
I'm laughing so much at all of Steven's different facial expressions XD
I see it now! When Walt was spinning the gun, and it pointed away from him, it pointed to the Lily of the Valley!
19:13 Vince Gilligan being the big Quentin Tarantino fan that he is almost recreates a scene from Resolver Dogs. Having Pinkman (Mr. Pink) pointing a gun at Walter White (Mr. White). Except the rolls are reversed.
This episode is so stressful. Underrated moment: Walt trying to fake casual in what he thinks might be his last phone call with Hank.
Preluding conversation to the 'I am the one who knocks' scene from 6 episodes ago:
"Did you know this Gale Boetticher person?"
"Skyler, I can't even focus. I don't-- "
"Gale Boetticher. Did you know him?"
"Ha. Oh, my God. What? What exactly did I say last night?"
"Just enough. Did you work together? Who killed him? Was it the people you work for?"
"Definitely not."
"Was it somebody who-- At some point might want to do the same to you?"
"I seriously doubt it."
Walt's gun eventually points at the flower pot. He remembers the raisin at that momment.
- "Anyone know what time it is?"
- "Yo, I think it's emoji time."
- "For real?"
- "Church!"
😱🕵️♂️💣🚬
29:56 ....holy crap Nikki! A Spy vs Spy reference???! You guys are awesome!
My mind on this episode: Walt had his one chance and it failed.not because of his actions, but gus' mind is too smart. He realizes he is screwed. And the show shows this perfectly.
When nikki smiles it literally brightens my day
@gary jones church
I didn't blink during this episode either 😅
Love your reactions
Gus is very cool.
The revolver spinning scene was awesome
Hello my one month old self, we meet again
Breaking Bad is such a lovely show!
Loving these vids guys
Gus propably saw the reflection of walt´s sunglasses
you can see Steven's heart cracking when Walt is saying goodbye to Holly
