Meth still exists, but the lesser product that the Mexican are making, the one that reaches 70% purity at best. Walt got rid of all of the remaining "blue meth" producers.
The final nod that Walt and Jesse gave each other just brought tears to my eyes. Made me think of all the terrible things they (mostly Jesse) has been through
Walt deserves zero praise for rescuing Jesse it was least he could've done Let Jane die and rubbed it in Jesse's face Indirectly led to Andreas death Sold him off to slavery (unintentionally bit doesn't make a difference) Poisoned Brock Killed Mike Manipulated Jesse into helping him kill Gus Loads manipulating, gaslighting and name calling
I seriously love how parallel are Walter and Jesse, Walt its first shown as a good family man and Jesse is shown as a unmoral junkie, just to find out Jesse is the good hearted and Walter its the evil itself
Walt isn’t evil you smooth brain. Again so many of you with dead brain takes. Without Walt Jesse would have died a junkie and never become this kind hearted person. I know you’re dumb but at least see that
@@EE-yh8ms well first of all its brain dead, not dead brain, that doesn't even make sense, and secondly, i think dying as a junkie would ultimately have been a better life than what walt put him thorough, oh and also, walt gave the go-ahead to have jesse fucking killed, and he would've been was it not for todd, that instead turned it into months of enslavement and torture instead.. you fucking smooth brain
@@EE-yh8ms To add to what Dusty said, even if he had made Jesse's life better, which he didn't, that doesn't mean he's not evil. He manipulated Jesse, toar his family apart, killed a ton of people and even poisoned a child.
Walt isnt fully evil he is rather neutral and utilitarian. He does some very bad things and some very good things. Even when he let Jane die he did have a good reason for it... though it is true that his reasoning was faulty- if anybody could have given Jesse a real reason to get off the meth it would have been her. When she was sober she made him happy and was able to keep him in line without being a bitch, thus she didnt drive Jesse away as other women might. I don't think Walt realised that Jesse got her back on the drugs, he thought she was just another junkie who made Jesse worse. Its a horrible and ruthless thing to do, but, even though wrong, he did actually have Jesse's longterm physical and financial well being at heart- just not his emotional or mental. Even when he poisoned the kid, he did plan it out so that the kid wouldnt die- again, its horrible, cold and ruthless, but it isnt evil. Evil would have been to kill the kid outright to break Jesse and enjoy watching him broken- then step in to "pick up the pieces" (revelling in Jesse's pain) and manipulate Jesse into a fanatically loyal follower who would follow Walt through Hell and yet wouldnt be skinny, malnourished and meth addicted. Thats what an evil person would do. At no point does Walt show a sadistic enjoyment in inflicting pain itself- he likes power but not inflicting pain, unless, perhaps if its upon his worst enemies (which is something even usually good people enjoy occasionally). He didnt have to kill the dealers to save Jesse- in fact he stood to gain nothing at all from it. Logically, he should have kept quiet and worked for Gus with Gale. He didnt- because he cares about Jesse. Likewise, if it really was all about the power or if he really was fully evil, he did not have to make sure Skyler and Walt Jr were looked after considering that they reject him outright- with Walt Jr even lying to the police about Walt's fight with Skyler to get rid of him. Those actions are not those of an evil man- they are the actions of a ruthless and power-hungry man who also cares.
The difference between his final words to family and enemies is funny. With Hank he was pleading to set things right, with Skyler he's giving her a perfectly explained way out of the situation, with Jesse there's few words, but all the emotion. With Lydia he says "I poisoned you, you're dead, goodbye."
@@mellohi6175 Also it shows the difference in their characters, Hank accepted his fate and was telling jack to just get it over with it. Unlike Hank, Jack was blinded with ego and cowardice and tried to weasal his way out of the situation.
@@whyisblue923taken It must be hard to be this thick pal, it symbolizes Jesse being responsible for himself by driving the car. That's a true 200 IQ writing right there. You just can't comprehend Vince's genius, it's okay though;)))
@@whyisblue923taken No, this is one of the few intended symbolism in the show not the ones created by obsessed fans who think they know everything about movie making.
@@viciousinbed4271 sopranos definitely had some scenes between Tony and Carmella that are in top 3 for best acting... but overall it doesn't compare to breaking bad... this show had me at the edge of my seat the entire series.. sopranos didn't have that effect on me..
@@richletizia5462 thank you for saying this. Fuck this show. It ruined everything for me. It’s too good, I can’t put into words the emotion and happiness this series has given me. It makes me feel like this is going on as I watch it the acting is unreal. Breaking bad has no bad episodes and I stayed up for 3 days watching the damn show I was so interested . I have re watched the entire series 4 times and everytime i watch another show I think about BB ..
-When Jesse started cooking with Walt, he frequently disobeyed Walt. -When Jesse was doing drugs, he frequently disobeyed Walt. -When Jesse was with Jane, he frequently disobeyed Walt. -When Jesse was replacing Walt as Gus's cook, he frequently disobeyed Walt. -When Jesse found out Walt poisoned Brock with Lily of the Valley, he frequently disobeyed Walt.
I love the look they give each other at the end. Despite what they’ve been through Jesse knows walt is moments away from death with the cancer and the gunshot wound, their final goodbye and the way they look at each other was almost as if to say “it was a good run”
Lydia's perspective must've been terrifying. She calls Todd, expecting to hear the good news that Walt is dead, but instead she learns that Walt killed all of them AND her. For years afterwards, Walter will be known in the underworld as a legend that killed all his enemies.
@@slinkoverlord7147no Walt meets with Lydia and Todd to discuss a "ocean of methylamine" but obviously he's a liability so they're just gonna kill him. She's wondering of Walt is dead.
@@B3AROTAN i think she wanted Walt's death because she was the only viable methylamine source at that point, Todd had a crush on her too but she was as danger as Walt for a Meth operation but Walt would be useful and she not, providing the new (fake) method Walt developed to make crystal, so in a way Walt was safer than her to produce crystal since at that point DEA would be aware of methylamine use in making crystals XD
@@matheusjose3060 they just didn't trust Walt, he was a liability. He'd already demonstrated he can't be trusted after killing Gus for his personal gain.
I’d die. He was my favorite character ever since I started watching it in April. Every bad thing he want through made me want to choke (kidding, of course) a writer. I do think his fate in season five was a bit dramatic and idiotic. Random hill billy losers getting the best of Walt, Jesse, Mike, Hank, and Gomez. These are people with degrees, seasoned experience as officers and detectives, and all of them have avoided the worst harm imaginable, despite having been put into various risky situations. Even Walt has less street experience than Jesse, coupled with the bs with the cartel and Gus. Even with their little gang action, Hillbilly Todd and his cronies coming out on top, initially, is bs. Walt had been a step ahead of Gus (holds degrees, maintained a cover up business, and side hustles, all the while keeping sniffing dogs away) a good few times. Yet, he had to wait months to get revenge on Todd and the idiots?
Remember, Walt knew Jesse as a teenager, likely for several years. As a teacher, I couldn't imagine knowing one of my students from 10 years ago would end up becoming a slave for 6 months to Nazis.
@@goldencash4 yes, you are right. I checked scenes of that season again. I don't know how I could have forgotten it as it was very well constructed into the plot.
2:34 Aaron's acting is literally so perfect here it makes me mad. He's looking at him with hardened anger at first but then his face softens,and then he takes one last look just filled with sadness at Walt because he knows he's going to die soon. It feels impossible considering all the shit Walt put him through but I think Jesse actually forgave him in this moment. And it makes me want to cry
my heart breaks for Jesse in the final episodes, if not for the whole show. When Jesse first looks at Walt (just before Walt's nodd, so just before that timestamp) I think he's still in disbelief and on his guards for what Walt could possibly still do or tell him, but then Walt nodds in sign of peace and respect (and who knows? some degree of apologies, even if from Walt it's hard to tell), and at that very instant when the camera go back to Jesse, I also love the expression he has, I think this sign of "kindness" from Walt took him off guard, like someone who has forgotten what it is to be treated with decence and humanity, it's almost an expression of surprise, it lasts just one quick second, but I love it so much, then he's collecting himself and is gained by all that mix of emotions, with some contained anger and some acceptance for that bit of peace altogether so he nods back and seems so sad when he installs in the car, like emotionally exhausted. Jesse was always a bleeding heart I loved this character so much, Aaron Paul is a hell of an actor, as he's always believable in the way he portrays Jesse's reactions in such a range of emotions.
I think Jesse is grateful for his freedom and he knows that the destructive force that is Walter White will soon be dead and the chaos will finally end for him.
I think it was because jesse knows deep down walter cared for him, he knew he made a terrible mistake. He knew in the end hank was right, that walter did treated him like a son. That it was because of his actions that walter died. If you examine what comes after this, how jesse was hysterical driving and what he did in El Camino where he did go to alaska as walter wanted and mike suggested and started over it is evident. The only reason for this was he felt betrayed because of hank manipulating him and keeping information from him and he realized in the end he was at fault.
Even the pilot is one of the best. There are shows like peaky blinders which do get better but the 1st 2 episodes are horrible. Those who find the 1st episode boring in breaking bad, will miss a lot.
3:08 This scene was the one that made me feel truly, and utterly happy. Jesse, after 2 years of selling his mind to Walt, after 2 years of witnessing and committing deaths that he was forced into, after 2 years of being forced into everything that caused him pain. Was finally free. Lydia was gone. His kidnappers were gone. And he could live for himself.
A lot of people seem to think Walt didn't care about Jesse, as well as the other way around. It's just not true. Walt cared about Jesse, which is why he chose to save him in the end. It's obvious that Walt cared, he just cared way more about himself. Edit: (SPOILERS FOR BETTER CALL SAUL) Now there's even MORE proof of Walt caring for Jesse. During a flashback scene in the final episode of Better Call Saul, Jimmy asks Walt about regrets. For a second, Walt stares down at the watch that Jesse had previously given to Walt at his birthday.
No fucking way, Walt didn't really care at all. He blackmailed Jesse into their deal at the start, manipulated him all along, allowed Jane to die just to deny Jesse a way out and trap him further into his plan, then tried to have killed and finally gave the okay for him to be torture and enslaved and then killed by the neo-Nazis. I think Walt just lied to himself all along because he didn't have the guts to face reality, and since we saw from his POV, the audience was led to believe him. It was such a great show, I've never hated someone who didn't exist as much as him, lol
@@imcallingjapan2178 First of, Jane's death was doomed to happen. Why would Walt save Jesse at the end of the show? He had absolutely zero reason to do that. Walt very clearly cared about Jesse. He even said he was like family at one point. Not only that, but when Saul suggested killing Jesse, Walt seemed ready to kill Saul instead. This whole thing about Walt not caring is complete and total bullshit. He saves Jesse numerous times without him gaining anything from it, he payed for Jesse's rehab, and even refused to work for Gus if something were to happen to him. Walt, without question cared about Jesse. He just cared way, waaay more about himself in the end.
@@Dante-fb9ej He saved Jesse occasionally and at the end because he was lying to himself. He'd convinced himself that he had a bond with Jesse (when really he was just a bloodsucking parasite) because Walt was always lying to himself because he was too much of a coward to accept reality, just like with the scene in the school with the plane crash speech, and the deal with Graymatter. Okay, if Vince Gilligan literally said that was wrong, then I accept it's wrong but otherwise it's the explanation most makes sense, IMO
@@imcallingjapan2178 Walt had zero reason to "lie" to himself, especially at the end. He literally had nothing to lose. There's no question about him caring about Jesse, because he very clearly did. Especially after rewatching the show multiple times now, it's so very VERY obvious. Just the fact that Walt never even considered killing Jesse, shows that he cared. He was just extremely selfish, and clearly cared more about himself.
@@Dante-fb9ej Lol, WTF? You missed all the scenes I just mentioned? You can't have watched the show too closely. Walt's reason for lying to himself was that he was a weak man who couldn't face reality. Reality was that all his problems except the cancer were his own doing, his whole life was a series of disappointments that he caused and/or could have avoided, but his pride and his ego got in the way. This was spelt out directly. I think YOU are also lying to yourself now, if you don't see it.
The final look you see between Walt and Jesse is the same look family give to each other when they say goodbye for good. It's a moment where you look back at everything that has happened, and make peace and say there is nothing more to say. It's not anger. It's not sadness. It's just accepting things as they are and moving one with life separate from each other. It's an incredibly powerful scene if you are old enough to have lived that life experience. For me it's when my kid said goodbye and never wanted to have anything to do with me for the rest of our lives.
@@goshaman-sc1hf Hey, let's not be too harsh on either of them. We really don't know the circumstances or what happened between them, so let's not judge either book by its cover alright?
@@goshaman-sc1hf And how exactly do you know his son didn't try to work things out before he decided to leave? And how exactly do you know what his father did to make him feel like he had to leave and not come back? Lesson is, stop making conclusions and judgements on the complex lives of other people based on 3 internet paragraphs you read.
Nah, Jesse was very stupid at the beginning. Only part I would agree with you is when he let Jane die. Jesse had chances leave that life but he kept going and doing stupid decisions which lead to the downfall of Walter. I felt that Jesse redeemed himself in the movie when he stopped acting stupid.
@@alexxxvill69 Jesse looked up to Walt not just as a mentor but also a father. The type of father that he never had. Its unfortunate that most of their relationship was Walter manipulating Jesse, but they both had a connection. You're only seeing it from one side. What you said could literally be said about almost all the characters in the show. Everyone made stupid decision that could only end in one way. Hank, Skyler, Walt, Jesse, Mike, Jane, Lydia... They all could have backed off or even stopped what was happening but chose not to. Now yes they all had there reasons but that's the point of the show. It's called Breaking Bad for a reason.
Jesse has lots of balls for not killing Walt. With all Walt put him through, he knew he was gonna die anyway because of his gunshot wound and cancer. That's bravery right there
2:25-2:50 will always be my favorite moment of the show. After all these two men had been through together and after all they’ve both lost, their love and respect for each other was clear despite neither of them saying a word.
it was definitely not LOVE imo. it was just acceptance for the events that happened. After all the betrayal and suffering, there's no way they don't hate each other. They both know their time together is up for good though, so might as well show one last moment of "respect"
@@gieldecloet7987 Considering the stuff Walt had done to Jesse love was lost between them. It was the acceptance at the inevitable, that Walt was about to die and Jesse was free.
2:26 when Jesse sees Walt he is completely in the dark. But when we see Walt half of his face is in the light showing that there is a little good in him. Although what he did to Jesse is completely unforgivable
He still saved Jesse from Jack’s crew. Not to mention, Jesse is still relatively young. He has a second shot at life. Walt could have just wiped them all out.
@Thomas Shelby he thought they partnered up with Jesse, to cook and sell the meth. When he mentioned it to Jack he wanted Jesse to join them so they could all get taken out together. But when he saw what they did to him he decided to save him by tackling him to the ground. I don't think Walt planed to survive his machine gun or save Jesse up untill the moment he saw what they did to him.
@@MappingEagle it’s possible Jesse could’ve ended up in that situation or worse, regardless. He was reckless, miscalculated and a dope fiend. There’s a large grey area.
@juicero, he's the same size as he was in all of season 5. He was clean off meth at that point. He was skinnier in the earlier episodes from being an addict.
@@CosmicSpaceBaby To be fair we do see Todd give him a toothbrush in El Camino. Todd is actually pretty nice guy, except for the part where he kills you in cold blood and apathy.
I remember reading that the creators regretted "giving" them all perfect teeth, that it was the one thing they thought took viewers out of experience, in retrospect.
2:30 the nods they exchange are everything to me. walt’s eyes and gestures are accepting everything - the hate, the blame, the departure, the end - and jesse is shaking like he knows he can finally get away from it all. seeing as his obsessive teacher controlled & ruined his life, i think the hope exciting jesse is that walt is letting him go. i gotta get over this show
@c m he was asking for him to be killed, saw them spare him and drag him away in chains. You're an idiot. Why do you think Walter went to the Neo Nazis? To rescue Jesse. He obviously didn't think they were going to be hanging out and knocking back beers, and he saw Todd say he'd be "useful" for cooking. "I swear I feel like some people just don't have the brain capacity to watch breaking bad."
@@justaguy2231 Seems like your IQ is even lower considering how you ignore the obvious. Jesse was ruining his life way before he met Walter. Hell, even after they started cooking and doing well, he still did stupid shit that endangered them. Hell, things were going pretty smooth with Gus and until Jesse fucked up(it was justified but still). Walter fucked up his relationship with Gus just to save Jesse even though he could have just let him die. I'm not saying Walter didn't his make life miserable and but Jesse being a unstable junkie mess himself played a part. It's a very sub-room temperature IQ take to say that Walter was the root cause of his problems when he was always causing problems for himself just that by later times Walter started being a bigger problem. It's like most of you people forget most of the show.
Finally, Jesse escapes enslavement and certain death, after all the pain, horror, tragedy and madness he'd been through, free of Walt and the drug trade and able to drive off somewhere and start a new life, to finally be happy. And then AMC's The Walking Dead happens.
@@imcallingjapan2178 I don’t know what you’re talking about. Breaking Bad, Malcolm in the Middle and The Walking Dead are all canonically in the same universe
Also, the fact that Jesse was the reason she's still alive until that moment. I was so relieved knowing the ricin that was hidden for so long was the thing that caused her death.
They’ve been saving each other’s lives since the beginning of the show, that last stare Jesse gave to Walt for me was like a “you’re an asshole, but thank you, Mr White”.
Despite what Walt did to him, Jesse likely would've died at an early age if it weren't for him. The scene where Walt saves Jesse from a crack-den really made me tear up, it felt so real.
I feel like there was a little bit of amusement at the sheer absurdity of Walt being the one who saved him, after all that. Like “eff you, I wanted to hate you and now I’m forced to always be grateful.”
I still can't tell if that was the gaze of "You're free to go now, you're all grown up Jesse" or "We had a good run". The script is a bit less sympathetic though, it goes on about how Jesse still held hatred in his heart for Walt, but the screen version says the opposite.
@@heckyeah8292 Man I've watched this show like 3 times, seen every bit of BCS , seen El Camino and still come back to these scene snippets. I don't know, this show is so incredibly good that I can't seem to let it go. I wonder how I'll watch it once I have kids some day. It would hit way different probably.

Somewhere deep inside his heart, Jesse had a soft corner for Walt. Inspite of everything he went through bcos of Walt. He struggled with this emotion through out, till the end.
@@jancarlosmanon4556 idk man, Brock being poisoned, Jane dying and litteraly being handed out to neo Nazis which causes Andrea to die kinda seems like Walter's fault here

@@jancarlosmanon4556 Jesse litteraly broke up with Andrea so that she would be safe, but that didn't change anything since Walt decided to kill him with the neo Nazis, and the neo Nazis killed andrea, therefore it is still Walt's fault
@@xomi9722 no, lol you need to read that again, they killed Andrea because of Jesse, if Jesse wouldn't have been so emotional he wouldn't have allied with hank and talk thing with Walt
with everything that happened in this series, is crazy and kind of warming to think that Walt gave his life to save Jessie and allow him to start over again.
It was his own way of redeeming himself. He had nothing to lose at this point. His family would have the money, were clear of any involvement with him, and he only had weeks to live at this point anyway. It was one final act to try and make up for all the hell he'd caused everyone. In the end, he took out some of the most evil fuckers around (Hector, Gus, Jack, Jack's gang) and freed Jesse. Not a bad way to go out.
@@Dorelaxen you also forgot how he gave the coordinates to the location of Hank and his partner’s (forgot his name) bodies. So even skyler’s sister would have clarity on Hank’s death.
Originally I think Vince wanted him to kill himself and Jesse, but he decided against it and wrote that part in where Walt looks at Jesse with grief written on his face, as he realizes what Jesse had been through.
@@Dorelaxen That's a bold claim. Walt was billions of times more evil than Gus could ever muster out. He literally destroyed the meth supply chain because of his own ego. Gus was clean.
0:34 The relief in Jesse's mind when he sees Walt has a likely mortal wound and doesn't have to relive the Gale trauma of directly killing someone, especially someone with sporadic emotional attachment
2:25 This shot gave me flashbacks of a dorky Milquetoast highschool teacher standing in a driveway at night asking _"maybe we can partner up"_ but now completely immersed in darkness. Goddamn this show was good.
Jesse's scream of jubilation as he drives away always make me well up.. throughout the show he hated life and wanted to be dead numerous times.. finally he appreciates life and his freeesom which he thought was gone forever. Beautiful arc and masterful acting
Bullshit. Any number of people could have killed him were he not the protagonist. He's not as smart as he is lucky, and people arbitrarily decide not to shoot him repeatedly.
I loved that shot. When Jesse looks back at Walt and he is shrouded in darkness. Such a symbolic scene which makes you realize the full transformation of Walter White, to the nightmare he became in the end.
Throughout the whole show Walt had given Jesse orders, trying to convince him that they were all in his best interest. And at the very end Walt has to beg Jesse, to which Jesse tells him to do his own dirty work for once.
3 ปีที่แล้ว +10
@It Be Like That Sometimes Oh no, he's got an addiction, stone him! Jesse's Parents were Karens incarnate (irregardless of their gender) that genuiney believed an addict could recover by becoming homeless. Fuck Mr and Mrs Pinkman, they can go to hell for all I care
Walt really has no need to beg here. Hell, he never planned on Jesse killing him. For all he knew, Jesse was partnering with Todd and intended to likely kill him. From what I see, it felt more like Walter mistakenly thought that letting Jesse kill him for putting him through this mess would give Jesse some peace or closure. He was gonna die either way.
The face Jesse makes as he's driving away, realizing it's finally over... That's exactly the face I make after finally getting out of a toxic relationship that goes on for several years. No regrets to this day!
I know this scene is utterly amazing but can we talk about 2:29 ? the way of how the show puts us through Jesse's perspective to seeing Walter one last time, only seeing a shadow with not even his face being recognised. Appearance of someone he trusted and all that remains is a husk belonging to a monster.
No matter how much you hate Walt because he ruined everyone's life he came across, @ 2:32 your heart just clutches. This is what exactly I call 'playing with audiences' emotions' cuz you hate it that u feel bad for such a sociopath. Great show
2:30 That last little silent nod of good bye, respect, thank you and maybe even some forgiveness to each other is more powerful than a million words. These guys are easily 2 of the most talented actors on the planet!
A happy ending in a twisted way Jesse gets revenge on Todd and escapes and Walt manages to provide for his kids financially and die in the last place he could ever feel content - a meth Lab.
2:21 I just got goosebumps remembering this was the same scene with Jesse by a car and Walt asking to partner up with him.... Maybe jesse was remembering this is it all started...
The final look they give each other is perfect. When Walt nods it's like he's saying "Yeah, this time it's really over. You can go." and Jessie responds with gratefulness.
“Jesse, there is a strategy I know that we, we could use to reach 100% purity. One batch. Just. One, and you’ll never hear from me again.” They do so and it ends there.
Aaron Paul is seriously underrated , throughout the whole serious I actually understood the character and how he portrayed the character and emotion , very talented actor
@@zoxyy.1x try pausing at the frame, teary eyed, scarred, looks like he is sad and still kinda in fear, its like he kinda expects something else to go wrong again, but he respects walt thats for sure
Walt's final interactions: Hank: Desperately begs him to do what he says Saul: Belittles him and tries to threaten him Skylar: Finally admits the truth Jesse: Asks him to kill him and then silently nods him off Lydia: Tells her straight up that she's gonna die by his hand
Jesse gets into the car and drives away fast feeling relieved from all the chaos finally...but just before hitting the fence BOOM...the episode ends with Walt smirking.
The weird thing is, her nerves probably are what did her in. If she'd gone to the hospital right away after Walt dropped that bomb on her, the ricin probably wouldn't have done enough damage to her to kill her. But she probably dithered for a while.
@@katherineberger6329Nah, it’s far too late. Even if she rushed, it was for too late. Poison already had plenty of time to do its thing, the rest is just time before imminent death.
The acting by Aaron Paul as he’s driving away was simply incredible. Have to imagine just about every human emotion running through Jesse Pinkman’s mind all at once in that moment. Beautiful yet chilling at the same time.
One thing I noticed...Jesse was called out to meet Walt in the middle of a cook. As Walt died, he tapped the needle but didn't change anything, showing Walt that Jesse had finally applied himself.
As crazy as it would be.. because jesse hates him at this point. But at 2:37 i wish jesse walked up and gave a hug. Or a handshake.. something to validate what the journey led up too.
Aaron Paul’s acting at 3:08 is absolutely perfect, it gives me chills every time. It’s insane how many emotions from everything that’s happened he shows in just 5 seconds, I was hoping they wouldn’t show any more of that in El Camino
This scene is very powerful. Jesse had it the worst from heisenberg’s manipulation, but for the first time, he makes his own decision against him and stands his ground, but after they have a stare of respect before he leaves, knowing that Walt still truly cared for him all this time. Just Brilliant.
In the first season, it's Jesse who knows his way around the meth business and Walt who seems to not fit in well to the world of drug dealing. As the show progresses, it slowly becomes Walt who is a dangerous man in the business and Jesse who isn't able to handle what the drug ring throws at him. I love it
@@jancarlosmanon4556Yeah. This show has many what ifs, and one of them is Jesse’s psychological issues affecting the outcomes. Jesse could have walked away multiple times, with loads of money, especially considering he grew to like Mike that told him to look out for himself. Yet he goes doing all sort of crazy stuff. Sure, Walt’s dishonesty doesn’t help, but what’s done is done. He was in the game, and knew that it’s not smooth and sailing, but suddenly decides to act psycho because the game wasn’t played nice without deaths. No wonder Gus wanted to kill him aside of him being a junkie.
@@jancarlosmanon4556 The manifestation of the surprised Pikachu face is Jesse in that regard. He was literally the piece that got him and Walt screwed over in S5. Hank wouldn’t be able to continue his case and would begrudgingly have to settle down, more so his superiors said to drop Mike and the Fring case as a whole since there is no more blue on the streets. More importantly, Hank would still be alive. Andrea would be alive since there’s no reason for Jack’s gang to kill her. Walt would have died and left the lofty 80 million for his family without estranging them. All of that had Jesse walked away with the money in a fresh start with therapy along the way. This show makes one go on for a while lol. It’s like I said; filled with loads of what ifs.
@@MikeCobweb yeah and he was also a rat, in that world you cant just go to the police when things arent going your way, that is what realized in the movie el camino, he shouldnt have allied with hank
3:25 I've just got it Walt have all three symbolic layers of his clothes; Green-the first one, the shirt he started with The blue one is the clothes he was wearing while get used to his new life And the white coat is the clothes he weared while lost all. The same with his look: his face is something middle between his face appearance in first episodes, and his "common look" while he became Heisenberg. Deep inside, he's still "green", still Walt, but outside he acts like Heisenberg, while he's done already with it all
It's worth noting the creators both thought Jesse got away and lived happily ever after. I don't think we needed El Comino, but I'm glad we got confirmation of this.
I think it’s really cool that Skyler and Jesse, the most involved survivors of Walter’s shenanigans, are more concerned with getting him to accept his responsibility. What’s cooler is that Walt did accept that he was Heisenberg in the end, for better AND for worse. Although he had to lose everything for the lies to stop, this phase of his made for the best goodbyes, in my opinion.
Ironically, Walt did a better job of destroying the meth business than the whole DEA.
Because he was actually inside of it
If Walt had been inside the DEA, America would be completely run over by drug lords or the cartel.
He served the country very well😂
Lol, because with law enforcement, you need evidence, witnesses to jail somebody or to execute him, basically dea plays by the rules, but walt dont
Meth still exists, but the lesser product that the Mexican are making, the one that reaches 70% purity at best. Walt got rid of all of the remaining "blue meth" producers.
Imagine if your best bar stories started with, " I had this high school chem teacher...".

The final nod that Walt and Jesse gave each other just brought tears to my eyes. Made me think of all the terrible things they (mostly Jesse) has been through
Just a final moment to let the fans know
That they had buried the hatchet in this moment and were at peace going their separate ways
Made me smile. Good to know Walt did right by Jesse for his final act.
And Jesse looks at him with a hint of sadness like "shouldn't have had to be this way bro.." and then gets in the car. Heartbreaking final episode
At least Walt did one final act of atonement for Jesse by saving him. But this scene just shows the damage walt has caused.
Walt deserves zero praise for rescuing Jesse it was least he could've done
Let Jane die and rubbed it in Jesse's face
Indirectly led to Andreas death
Sold him off to slavery (unintentionally bit doesn't make a difference)
Poisoned Brock
Killed Mike
Manipulated Jesse into helping him kill Gus
Loads manipulating, gaslighting and name calling
Jesse's first words to Walt
-you want to cook crystal meth?
Jesse's last words to Walt
-then do it yourself.
@george chapelle “you want to cook crystal meth?” Is the last words he says to Walt in the first scene he was with Walt. So still poetic justice.
I’m pretty sure Jesses first word were something more like “yo, can I go to the bathroom?”

I seriously love how parallel are Walter and Jesse, Walt its first shown as a good family man and Jesse is shown as a unmoral junkie, just to find out Jesse is the good hearted and Walter its the evil itself
Walt isn’t evil you smooth brain. Again so many of you with dead brain takes. Without Walt Jesse would have died a junkie and never become this kind hearted person. I know you’re dumb but at least see that
@@EE-yh8ms well first of all its brain dead, not dead brain, that doesn't even make sense, and secondly, i think dying as a junkie would ultimately have been a better life than what walt put him thorough, oh and also, walt gave the go-ahead to have jesse fucking killed, and he would've been was it not for todd, that instead turned it into months of enslavement and torture instead.. you fucking smooth brain
@green1490 why thank you my good sir
@@EE-yh8ms To add to what Dusty said, even if he had made Jesse's life better, which he didn't, that doesn't mean he's not evil. He manipulated Jesse, toar his family apart, killed a ton of people and even poisoned a child.
Walt isnt fully evil he is rather neutral and utilitarian. He does some very bad things and some very good things. Even when he let Jane die he did have a good reason for it... though it is true that his reasoning was faulty- if anybody could have given Jesse a real reason to get off the meth it would have been her. When she was sober she made him happy and was able to keep him in line without being a bitch, thus she didnt drive Jesse away as other women might. I don't think Walt realised that Jesse got her back on the drugs, he thought she was just another junkie who made Jesse worse. Its a horrible and ruthless thing to do, but, even though wrong, he did actually have Jesse's longterm physical and financial well being at heart- just not his emotional or mental. Even when he poisoned the kid, he did plan it out so that the kid wouldnt die- again, its horrible, cold and ruthless, but it isnt evil. Evil would have been to kill the kid outright to break Jesse and enjoy watching him broken- then step in to "pick up the pieces" (revelling in Jesse's pain) and manipulate Jesse into a fanatically loyal follower who would follow Walt through Hell and yet wouldnt be skinny, malnourished and meth addicted. Thats what an evil person would do. At no point does Walt show a sadistic enjoyment in inflicting pain itself- he likes power but not inflicting pain, unless, perhaps if its upon his worst enemies (which is something even usually good people enjoy occasionally). He didnt have to kill the dealers to save Jesse- in fact he stood to gain nothing at all from it. Logically, he should have kept quiet and worked for Gus with Gale. He didnt- because he cares about Jesse. Likewise, if it really was all about the power or if he really was fully evil, he did not have to make sure Skyler and Walt Jr were looked after considering that they reject him outright- with Walt Jr even lying to the police about Walt's fight with Skyler to get rid of him. Those actions are not those of an evil man- they are the actions of a ruthless and power-hungry man who also cares.
The difference between his final words to family and enemies is funny.
With Hank he was pleading to set things right, with Skyler he's giving her a perfectly explained way out of the situation, with Jesse there's few words, but all the emotion.
With Lydia he says "I poisoned you, you're dead, goodbye."
With Jack he didn't even say anything
Just shot him mid-phrase
@@isaacpianos5208 pure anger and rage.
@@mellohi6175 Also it shows the difference in their characters, Hank accepted his fate and was telling jack to just get it over with it. Unlike Hank, Jack was blinded with ego and cowardice and tried to weasal his way out of the situation.

Thi is not game of thrones
you seem so optimistic my friend
I’d die. He was my favorite character ever since I started watching it in April. Every bad thing he want through made me want to choke (kidding, of course) a writer. I do think his fate in season five was a bit dramatic and idiotic. Random hill billy losers getting the best of Walt, Jesse, Mike, Hank, and Gomez. These are people with degrees, seasoned experience as officers and detectives, and all of them have avoided the worst harm imaginable, despite having been put into various risky situations. Even Walt has less street experience than Jesse, coupled with the bs with the cartel and Gus. Even with their little gang action, Hillbilly Todd and his cronies coming out on top, initially, is bs. Walt had been a step ahead of Gus (holds degrees, maintained a cover up business, and side hustles, all the while keeping sniffing dogs away) a good few times. Yet, he had to wait months to get revenge on Todd and the idiots?
Fucked up
Omg that would be twisted. Jesse needed a somewhat happy ending and that would’ve been too much too handle for the viewers.
Remember, Walt knew Jesse as a teenager, likely for several years. As a teacher, I couldn't imagine knowing one of my students from 10 years ago would end up becoming a slave for 6 months to Nazis.

The moment when he scream for his freedom is so goddamn perfect.
"freedom"
@@Michael-dt2ln Yes
“Scream”
I had that feeling once. To be free.
“Perfect”
2:34 Aaron's acting is literally so perfect here it makes me mad. He's looking at him with hardened anger at first but then his face softens,and then he takes one last look just filled with sadness at Walt because he knows he's going to die soon. It feels impossible considering all the shit Walt put him through but I think Jesse actually forgave him in this moment. And it makes me want to cry
my heart breaks for Jesse in the final episodes, if not for the whole show. When Jesse first looks at Walt (just before Walt's nodd, so just before that timestamp) I think he's still in disbelief and on his guards for what Walt could possibly still do or tell him, but then Walt nodds in sign of peace and respect (and who knows? some degree of apologies, even if from Walt it's hard to tell), and at that very instant when the camera go back to Jesse, I also love the expression he has, I think this sign of "kindness" from Walt took him off guard, like someone who has forgotten what it is to be treated with decence and humanity, it's almost an expression of surprise, it lasts just one quick second, but I love it so much, then he's collecting himself and is gained by all that mix of emotions, with some contained anger and some acceptance for that bit of peace altogether so he nods back and seems so sad when he installs in the car, like emotionally exhausted. Jesse was always a bleeding heart I loved this character so much, Aaron Paul is a hell of an actor, as he's always believable in the way he portrays Jesse's reactions in such a range of emotions.
“You’re a piece of shit Mr. White… but thank you”
I thought it was gratitude
I think Jesse is grateful for his freedom and he knows that the destructive force that is Walter White will soon be dead and the chaos will finally end for him.
I think it was because jesse knows deep down walter cared for him, he knew he made a terrible mistake. He knew in the end hank was right, that walter did treated him like a son. That it was because of his actions that walter died. If you examine what comes after this, how jesse was hysterical driving and what he did in El Camino where he did go to alaska as walter wanted and mike suggested and started over it is evident. The only reason for this was he felt betrayed because of hank manipulating him and keeping information from him and he realized in the end he was at fault.
I feel bad for the people who got bored after the first episode.... This is a masterpiece.
I saw the first episode and I knew that series would be epic, I remember I binge watched the whole series in 10 days
Even the pilot is one of the best. There are shows like peaky blinders which do get better but the 1st 2 episodes are horrible. Those who find the 1st episode boring in breaking bad, will miss a lot.

And at the same time sheer panic and fear. That was really well portrayed in El Camino.

This scene was the one that made me feel truly, and utterly happy.

Forced? He forged his own path, the guy that gives you a new life told him that, and I totally agree.
@@jpdr7081 dude, jesse was never the driver of his life until he was in alaska
A lot of people seem to think Walt didn't care about Jesse, as well as the other way around. It's just not true. Walt cared about Jesse, which is why he chose to save him in the end. It's obvious that Walt cared, he just cared way more about himself.
Edit: (SPOILERS FOR BETTER CALL SAUL)
Now there's even MORE proof of Walt caring for Jesse. During a flashback scene in the final episode of Better Call Saul, Jimmy asks Walt about regrets. For a second, Walt stares down at the watch that Jesse had previously given to Walt at his birthday.
No fucking way, Walt didn't really care at all. He blackmailed Jesse into their deal at the start, manipulated him all along, allowed Jane to die just to deny Jesse a way out and trap him further into his plan, then tried to have killed and finally gave the okay for him to be torture and enslaved and then killed by the neo-Nazis. I think Walt just lied to himself all along because he didn't have the guts to face reality, and since we saw from his POV, the audience was led to believe him. It was such a great show, I've never hated someone who didn't exist as much as him, lol
@@imcallingjapan2178 First of, Jane's death was doomed to happen. Why would Walt save Jesse at the end of the show? He had absolutely zero reason to do that. Walt very clearly cared about Jesse. He even said he was like family at one point. Not only that, but when Saul suggested killing Jesse, Walt seemed ready to kill Saul instead.
This whole thing about Walt not caring is complete and total bullshit. He saves Jesse numerous times without him gaining anything from it, he payed for Jesse's rehab, and even refused to work for Gus if something were to happen to him. Walt, without question cared about Jesse. He just cared way, waaay more about himself in the end.
@@Dante-fb9ej He saved Jesse occasionally and at the end because he was lying to himself. He'd convinced himself that he had a bond with Jesse (when really he was just a bloodsucking parasite) because Walt was always lying to himself because he was too much of a coward to accept reality, just like with the scene in the school with the plane crash speech, and the deal with Graymatter. Okay, if Vince Gilligan literally said that was wrong, then I accept it's wrong but otherwise it's the explanation most makes sense, IMO
@@imcallingjapan2178 Walt had zero reason to "lie" to himself, especially at the end. He literally had nothing to lose. There's no question about him caring about Jesse, because he very clearly did. Especially after rewatching the show multiple times now, it's so very VERY obvious. Just the fact that Walt never even considered killing Jesse, shows that he cared. He was just extremely selfish, and clearly cared more about himself.
@@Dante-fb9ej Lol, WTF? You missed all the scenes I just mentioned? You can't have watched the show too closely. Walt's reason for lying to himself was that he was a weak man who couldn't face reality. Reality was that all his problems except the cancer were his own doing, his whole life was a series of disappointments that he caused and/or could have avoided, but his pride and his ego got in the way. This was spelt out directly. I think YOU are also lying to yourself now, if you don't see it.
The final look you see between Walt and Jesse is the same look family give to each other when they say goodbye for good. It's a moment where you look back at everything that has happened, and make peace and say there is nothing more to say. It's not anger. It's not sadness. It's just accepting things as they are and moving one with life separate from each other. It's an incredibly powerful scene if you are old enough to have lived that life experience. For me it's when my kid said goodbye and never wanted to have anything to do with me for the rest of our lives.

Despite what Walt did to him, Jesse likely would've died at an early age if it weren't for him. The scene where Walt saves Jesse from a crack-den really made me tear up, it felt so real.
True and if they didnt stick to each other in some way they wpuldnt survive this
I feel like there was a little bit of amusement at the sheer absurdity of Walt being the one who saved him, after all that. Like “eff you, I wanted to hate you and now I’m forced to always be grateful.”
It's......i hate you so much, but you took a bullet for me and helped me be free......we are oddly even
3:18 this transition gives me chills
why, i don’t like it, it kinda wanted to here jesse scream for like 5 more seconds

I swear that last eye contact they share got me. This show gave me weird feelings for 3 weeks after I finished it.
Me too😑
I still can't tell if that was the gaze of "You're free to go now, you're all grown up Jesse" or "We had a good run".
The script is a bit less sympathetic though, it goes on about how Jesse still held hatred in his heart for Walt, but the screen version says the opposite.
I dream of it like every night
@@JohnfromCro7 Right? Crazy how they suck us in to their fictional world
@@heckyeah8292 Man I've watched this show like 3 times, seen every bit of BCS , seen El Camino and still come back to these scene snippets. I don't know, this show is so incredibly good that I can't seem to let it go. I wonder how I'll watch it once I have kids some day. It would hit way different probably.
“It's Walt. How are you feeling? Kind of under the weather, like you've got the flu? That would be the covid-19 I gave you, I coughed into that Stevia crap you're always putting in your tea.”

I was making a joke about how having kids or grandkids during the pandemic is the most dangerous thing ever. Still, even if most cases aren't lethal there is still a chance for sequels and cardiorespiratory problems so yeah be careful arouns that viral shit.
You know a show’s a masterpiece when you couldn’t change or think of any better ending for all the characters. This will be the greatest show of all time till I die period.
mikes is questionable
Hank should have lived a long life surrounded by his minerals.
@@andrewaigalew instead he was buried surrounded by minerals
@@andrewaigalew there is an edit where he survives through the power of minerals
Somewhere deep inside his heart, Jesse had a soft corner for Walt. Inspite of everything he went through bcos of Walt. He struggled with this emotion through out, till the end.
Because of Walt? Jesse got himself in most problems in breaking bad
@@jancarlosmanon4556 idk man, Brock being poisoned, Jane dying and litteraly being handed out to neo Nazis which causes Andrea to die kinda seems like Walter's fault here
@@xomi9722 Walt poisoned Brock and of course he could have saved Jane but Andrea is on Jesse, how can you blame Walt for Andrea? It was Jesse that allied with the man that almost killed him
@@jancarlosmanon4556 Jesse litteraly broke up with Andrea so that she would be safe, but that didn't change anything since Walt decided to kill him with the neo Nazis, and the neo Nazis killed andrea, therefore it is still Walt's fault
@@xomi9722 no, lol you need to read that again, they killed Andrea because of Jesse, if Jesse wouldn't have been so emotional he wouldn't have allied with hank and talk thing with Walt
with everything that happened in this series, is crazy and kind of warming to think that Walt gave his life to save Jessie and allow him to start over again.
It was his own way of redeeming himself. He had nothing to lose at this point. His family would have the money, were clear of any involvement with him, and he only had weeks to live at this point anyway. It was one final act to try and make up for all the hell he'd caused everyone. In the end, he took out some of the most evil fuckers around (Hector, Gus, Jack, Jack's gang) and freed Jesse. Not a bad way to go out.
@@Dorelaxen you also forgot how he gave the coordinates to the location of Hank and his partner’s (forgot his name) bodies. So even skyler’s sister would have clarity on Hank’s death.
Originally I think Vince wanted him to kill himself and Jesse, but he decided against it and wrote that part in where Walt looks at Jesse with grief written on his face, as he realizes what Jesse had been through.
@@Dorelaxen That's a bold claim. Walt was billions of times more evil than Gus could ever muster out. He literally destroyed the meth supply chain because of his own ego. Gus was clean.
Walt really had no reason to live at this point. He was alone and didn't have long to live anyway.
0:34 The relief in Jesse's mind when he sees Walt has a likely mortal wound and doesn't have to relive the Gale trauma of directly killing someone, especially someone with sporadic emotional attachment
2:00 the moment Lydia realizes she's dead - priceless!
The best part of the entire show. I want a separate series that is 36 hours long just to see her miserable life as she dies.

This shot gave me flashbacks of a dorky Milquetoast highschool teacher standing in a driveway at night asking _"maybe we can partner up"_ but now completely immersed in darkness. Goddamn this show was good.
Some of the best, if not the best episodic writing ever made, period.
Hands down the most badass piece of fiction I’ve ever enjoyed.
This and The Wire. Dont make me pick because I rewatch both every year from start to finish.
That's not what episodic means lol
Not the best cap (ozymandiaz) but the best ending ever! So far!
.*
And then Jesse went on to driving cars for a living in the Need for Speed movie.
Lol. Crying his way to the finish line
Shhh. That never happened.
@@V-for-Vendetta01 yes it did
@@billybob-fw3vr I'm saying that movie was so bad that we don't have to talk about it.
@@V-for-Vendetta01 it was ok .
The movie is most known for pete's death tho
Jesse's scream of jubilation as he drives away always make me well up.. throughout the show he hated life and wanted to be dead numerous times.. finally he appreciates life and his freeesom which he thought was gone forever. Beautiful arc and masterful acting
When you realize the only person who could kill Walt was himself
Badass
He won. That’s the legend of Heisenberg.
You know, he is the danger.
Bullshit. Any number of people could have killed him were he not the protagonist. He's not as smart as he is lucky, and people arbitrarily decide not to shoot him repeatedly.
@@cr820 and all those people who had the chance to kill him are dead. They died first meaning walt won
3:09 When you clear all your engineering backlogs in the final sem, because it was online
Lucky you
I loved that shot. When Jesse looks back at Walt and he is shrouded in darkness. Such a symbolic scene which makes you realize the full transformation of Walter White, to the nightmare he became in the end.
Throughout the whole show Walt had given Jesse orders, trying to convince him that they were all in his best interest. And at the very end Walt has to beg Jesse, to which Jesse tells him to do his own dirty work for once.
@It Be Like That Sometimes Oh no, he's got an addiction, stone him! Jesse's Parents were Karens incarnate (irregardless of their gender) that genuiney believed an addict could recover by becoming homeless. Fuck Mr and Mrs Pinkman, they can go to hell for all I care
Walt really has no need to beg here. Hell, he never planned on Jesse killing him. For all he knew, Jesse was partnering with Todd and intended to likely kill him. From what I see, it felt more like Walter mistakenly thought that letting Jesse kill him for putting him through this mess would give Jesse some peace or closure. He was gonna die either way.
The face Jesse makes as he's driving away, realizing it's finally over...
That's exactly the face I make after finally getting out of a toxic relationship that goes on for several years. No regrets to this day!
Glad to hear that man. It's definitely a good feeling. Hope you find someone much better!
Still stuck, hi 👋
@@thehammurabichode7994 U ok?
Hope you get out of it as safely as possible! ❤️
I know that feeling and I can understand it. Enjoy your life and the moment to the fullest now !
3:09 How I felt quitting my job
1:18 Todd's Ringtone wtf😂😂😂😂
Bro was obsessed
Jesse had to go through absolute Hell before the end. It makes his "getting out" soooo much sweeter and meaningful.
I know this scene is utterly amazing but can we talk about 2:29 ?
the way of how the show puts us through Jesse's perspective to
seeing Walter one last time, only seeing a shadow with not even
his face being recognised. Appearance of someone he trusted
and all that remains is a husk belonging to a monster.
No matter how much you hate Walt because he ruined everyone's life he came across, @ 2:32 your heart just clutches. This is what exactly I call 'playing with audiences' emotions' cuz you hate it that u feel bad for such a sociopath. Great show
walt isnt a sociopath. he just has a very high ego and sense of pride
3:09 how you feel when you drive past a police car and your car is full of drugs but they don't pull you over
Should I be concerned
FBI Open up!!!
How i feel every time I pass a cop with my tags.
Hol up
NOT RELATABLE :(
2:30
That last little silent nod of good bye, respect, thank you and maybe even some forgiveness to each other is more powerful than a million words.
These guys are easily 2 of the most talented actors on the planet!
A lot of amazing tv shows/series will do this thing were they end it terribly for seemingly no reason. Breaking Bad's ending it literally perfect
@george chapelle I mean terribly as in the ending sucks ass
A happy ending in a twisted way Jesse gets revenge on Todd and escapes and Walt manages to provide for his kids financially and die in the last place he could ever feel content - a meth Lab.
2:21 I just got goosebumps remembering this was the same scene with Jesse by a car and Walt asking to partner up with him....
Maybe jesse was remembering this is it all started...
The final look they give each other is perfect. When Walt nods it's like he's saying "Yeah, this time it's really over. You can go." and Jessie responds with gratefulness.
“Jesse, there is a strategy I know that we, we could use to reach 100% purity. One batch. Just. One, and you’ll never hear from me again.” They do so and it ends there.
"HAVE SOME GODDAMN FAITH SON ! "
@@OutCast907 Try... a little... goddamn *F A I T H*

“Just one last cook and we’ll be picking mangoes in Belize!”
What about the cops that show up
Aaron Paul is seriously underrated , throughout the whole serious I actually understood the character and how he portrayed the character and emotion , very talented actor
1:52 Walt talking about Ricin in front of Jesse
Raw
Jesse’s double take. 2:44 is so haunting
how
@@zoxyy.1x try pausing at the frame, teary eyed, scarred, looks like he is sad and still kinda in fear, its like he kinda expects something else to go wrong again, but he respects walt thats for sure
Walt's final interactions:
Hank: Desperately begs him to do what he says
Saul: Belittles him and tries to threaten him
Skylar: Finally admits the truth
Jesse: Asks him to kill him and then silently nods him off
Lydia: Tells her straight up that she's gonna die by his hand
Jesse gets into the car and drives away fast feeling relieved from all the chaos finally...but just before hitting the fence BOOM...the episode ends with Walt smirking.
Eso hubiese sido muy oscuro
2:05 DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD ha ha !
The look on Lydia’s face when she realizes she’s screwed and Walt sealed her fate is fucking priceless. 😂
The weird thing is, her nerves probably are what did her in. If she'd gone to the hospital right away after Walt dropped that bomb on her, the ricin probably wouldn't have done enough damage to her to kill her. But she probably dithered for a while.
@@katherineberger6329Nah, it’s far too late. Even if she rushed, it was for too late. Poison already had plenty of time to do its thing, the rest is just time before imminent death.
"Then do it yourself"....this sentence marks the freedom of jesse
That moment between Walt and jesse right at the end. One of the greatest moments in history
It's just amazing how we can just see that Walt has been getting more evil in this show and Jesse has been getting less evil and more good-hearted.
Jesse was never evil, just irresponsible
The goodbyes between Jesse and Walt (barely nodding the head) is one of the saddest moments in the series.
"Say the word!"
"Nothing happens until you say it!"
"Jesse we need to cook"
*sewers
The acting by Aaron Paul as he’s driving away was simply incredible. Have to imagine just about every human emotion running through Jesse Pinkman’s mind all at once in that moment. Beautiful yet chilling at the same time.
hope the dude got awards or something
0:58 just got TWD flashbacks about what alpha would sing to lydia
One thing I noticed...Jesse was called out to meet Walt in the middle of a cook. As Walt died, he tapped the needle but didn't change anything, showing Walt that Jesse had finally applied himself.
As crazy as it would be.. because jesse hates him at this point. But at 2:37 i wish jesse walked up and gave a hug. Or a handshake.. something to validate what the journey led up too.
That’s what this entire attempt was by Walt. He went back to save Jesse. Any other sort of gesture would’ve been unnecessary
The eye to eye contact and nod is and was enough.. at least you got that!
That would be not as subtle and great as it is. The last eye contact says it all.
Magnificent show.
This is why fans don’t write the show
Someone once said " Who knows by glances does not need a thousand words "
Aaron Paul is so flippin good. Terrific acting. Obviously same for Cranston.
That subtle nod between Jesse and Walt in the final scene is just so bittersweet. Reminds me off the first time they meet during the ride along.
Aaron Paul’s acting at 3:08 is absolutely perfect, it gives me chills every time. It’s insane how many emotions from everything that’s happened he shows in just 5 seconds, I was hoping they wouldn’t show any more of that in El Camino
This scene is very powerful. Jesse had it the worst from heisenberg’s manipulation, but for the first time, he makes his own decision against him and stands his ground, but after they have a stare of respect before he leaves, knowing that Walt still truly cared for him all this time. Just Brilliant.
0:27: I think Walter should have said it like this: "I don't want this. I deserve this."
In the first season, it's Jesse who knows his way around the meth business and Walt who seems to not fit in well to the world of drug dealing. As the show progresses, it slowly becomes Walt who is a dangerous man in the business and Jesse who isn't able to handle what the drug ring throws at him. I love it
dude, Jesse got screwed with by literally every single person
Especially by himself
@@jancarlosmanon4556Yeah. This show has many what ifs, and one of them is Jesse’s psychological issues affecting the outcomes. Jesse could have walked away multiple times, with loads of money, especially considering he grew to like Mike that told him to look out for himself. Yet he goes doing all sort of crazy stuff. Sure, Walt’s dishonesty doesn’t help, but what’s done is done. He was in the game, and knew that it’s not smooth and sailing, but suddenly decides to act psycho because the game wasn’t played nice without deaths. No wonder Gus wanted to kill him aside of him being a junkie.
@@MikeCobweb he was selling meth way before Walt and got emotional too easily when reality of the meth life hit him
@@jancarlosmanon4556 The manifestation of the surprised Pikachu face is Jesse in that regard.
He was literally the piece that got him and Walt screwed over in S5. Hank wouldn’t be able to continue his case and would begrudgingly have to settle down, more so his superiors said to drop Mike and the Fring case as a whole since there is no more blue on the streets. More importantly, Hank would still be alive. Andrea would be alive since there’s no reason for Jack’s gang to kill her. Walt would have died and left the lofty 80 million for his family without estranging them. All of that had Jesse walked away with the money in a fresh start with therapy along the way.
This show makes one go on for a while lol. It’s like I said; filled with loads of what ifs.
@@MikeCobweb yeah and he was also a rat, in that world you cant just go to the police when things arent going your way, that is what realized in the movie el camino, he shouldnt have allied with hank
3:25
I've just got it Walt have all three symbolic layers of his clothes;
Green-the first one, the shirt he started with
The blue one is the clothes he was wearing while get used to his new life
And the white coat is the clothes he weared while lost all.
The same with his look: his face is something middle between his face appearance in first episodes, and his "common look" while he became Heisenberg.
Deep inside, he's still "green", still Walt, but outside he acts like Heisenberg, while he's done already with it all
I had never caught that! Old walt is dying the old walt that wore the green shirt. All thats left is heisenberg and his lab.
3:02 who else got heartbroken by this scene
me
Jesse made a little stop at Los Pollos Hermanos between this and El Camino.
Not for Gus, or drugs, or money....
Just the Chicken. Jesse needs the chicken
It's worth noting the creators both thought Jesse got away and lived happily ever after. I don't think we needed El Comino, but I'm glad we got confirmation of this.
After all these years, the acting still get me goosebump
every damn time
I like to think Jesse‘s nod to Walt was a “I can never forgive you for what you did, but thank you for saving me and giving me a chance”
Scenes like this just make me want to rewatch the entire show
When Jesse drove away it felt like saying goodbye to an old friend that I’ll never see again 😢
I think it’s really cool that Skyler and Jesse, the most involved survivors of Walter’s shenanigans, are more concerned with getting him to accept his responsibility. What’s cooler is that Walt did accept that he was Heisenberg in the end, for better AND for worse. Although he had to lose everything for the lies to stop, this phase of his made for the best goodbyes, in my opinion.
