#BreakingBad #BrBa #HalfMeasures - บันเทิง
This is where the show goes from "This is awesome" to "Holy shit this might be the greatest show on television."
I agree completely!!From this point onward i binge watched to the end :D
Totally agree! From now on it's a rollercoaster
I concur.
GREATEST SHOW EVER
"This is where"........"This is where"......."This is where"............every episode I swear lol.
At the end of the news report Walt is watching, the reporter says "...the city's ongoing struggle against drugs". But at the same moment she says 'drugs' Skylar says 'Walt'. So what we also hear is "the city's ongoing struggle against Walt."
These little details are what make this show so great, and I know a lot about this show. But even till this day I'm picking things up I've never noticed.
Holy everything! That's insane
I just has to make sure myself and watch back that scene, fucking incredible.
I never caught that!
👏👏👏
The Run scene is one of the greatest scenes i've ever seen, even though i know what's coming i still get chills every time, and this isn't even the finale
I just left a comment that says this same thing(chills).
HaliniSnow I see you’re profile picture which makes me respect your opinion even more.
Cimmerian Haha thanks, best character on tv in my book
@@SnowTheJamMan I'm not big on Lost, but Ben Linus is indeed the greatest character in the series.
Can’t wait until crawl space
NO MORE HALF MEASURES!
Heisenberg is here.
Nikki's so blown away she can't form complete sentences! That's what Breaking Bad will do!
@@Fbitypeshit coughs *normies* love them tho they talk to much
Best reaction so far.
Mateoffvii I had know idea how good this show is!!!!!
Patrick Parcivel I love that you used the term "shopping around" 😂
@John B Brandon's is awesome, I think his channel is def the best, watch his BrBa and BCS reaction series
Whatever man! blue, yellow, pink, 360p, just keep bringing me more episodes!!
Eduardo Millalonco 😂😂
TIGHT! TIGHT! TIGHT!
I sit around all day, I don't go premium, and you bring me MORE reactions? Brilliant...
hahaha i love that comment
lmao :DD
lmao steve's reaction when walt pulls the trigger is SUPERB! HAHA
"WWOOOOOOOAAOOOOHHH!" - Steven (2019)
*I'd buy this shirt.
He was shocked, impressed and a little bit frightened. All at the same time.
Perhaps the greatest monologue in Television history. Such a good actor. I've seen him in shows and movies probably a dozen times. But I never really appreciated how good he was until Breaking Bad. Jonathan Banks just crushed it. One of my favorite episodes in the entire series.
Joseph Axenroth Mike in general kills it every episode he’s in and is just such an amazing but overlooked character.
@@jackbrooking4754 not overlooked, there have been surveys for favorite characters and Mike is usually at the top if not even above Walt and Jesse. It's crazy he's that good of an character/actor
Austin Gilcher it’s just great that we have a lot more screen time with his character with Better Call Saul
Mike steals every scene he's in
Can’t believe he only played in 1 episode of Dexter 😔
I just realized that Gus probably orders those men to kill the kid so Jessie would go after them and get killed getting his way. Another layer to this brilliant show
Damn man
Bravo Vince
@@wr7studio hey how are you?
@@mycelia_ow fine, u?
Added by the fact that the police were alerted anonymously, too
Nikki: 😱
Steven: 😱
Jesse: 😱
23:00: reaction synchronicity achieved
Robin Melendez LMAO
This is one of the rare times a pair of reactors can make one of the best episodes of all time...even better. Nikki & Steven - Thank You
no Fernando, thank you!!!!!
And now the show goes from incredible to masterpiece.
Okay, I didn't realize we were HERE, at THIS episode. I think this is one of those that left all fans in shock, and wanting more! Let's go! Or should I say "RUN"!!
TFW you realize Mike is an amazing character.
I remembered watching this episode the night it aired and going crazy with my family in our living room. “Half Measures” aired on June 6th, 2010. Before TWD and GOT had even existed. Yeah, Breaking Bad was WAY ahead of its time...
Same!
I binged watched season 3, 4, & 5 and watched it like a movie and was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It's still fresh in my mind because I just finished it a few days ago. This show is an experience everyone should have. Best thing to grace TV screens
Agreed! They introduced me to how good this show was. im on season 5 episode 15 and im like UGHHHH, NOOOO !TOOO MUCH IS HAPPENING and its gonna blow their minds! and then i come back here, and get to watch them react to it all, knowing exactly how it ends :*(
@@igisingorsomething it was so intense. My heart was beating hard the whole time. I wish I could experience it for the 1st time all over again
W incredible show mr robot and this some of my faves ever
@@mudiametokunboh2370maybe I'll watch Mr Robot
Steven's "WHOAH" at the end is exactly why I love this channel.
That was the last thing I expected.
IMHO 2 of the most chilling lines in BB come in this episode:
"No more half measures."
"Run." 🏃
How many actors can fill a single word with so much portent & menace? 🙌 Brian Cranston 🙌 Shittin' pants: engaged 😲🍔🔫
At first i have doubts when they picked this show after GoT because of the slow buildup of the 1st & 2nd seasons...i remember saying that it's all gonna pickup starting in season 3...it's all gonna be insane from here on out
@@robertselagon4277 Really? I always felt BB was fast-paced from the start! GOT has a lot more character exposition & development to get thru, though these are mixed brilliantly with action/mystery to keep things interesting.
IMHO BB is the most consistently excellent series ever made. There are no weak seasons, episodes, or wasted plot threads. It begins and ends perfectly, totally satisfying. And the tension keeps rising, even when that seems an impossibility. Start to finish, BB is tight, tight, tight! Happy to find the rewatch leaves me as breathless and filled with suspense as the original broadcast did.
well i guess maybe i haven't done a rewatch since its conclusion years ago and probably remembered the moderately pacing of the 1st 2 seasons...not saying they're bad at all but compared from seasons 3-5, they're pressure cooker IMO
Season 4 for me cemented BB as one of 3 GOAT series...from episode 1 till the finale, the'yre masterpieces
Your reactions at the end gave me goosebumps, Walt is a badass.
walt???? a badass???????? i mean sure he’s good at killing people but he’s kind of an asshole, an awful person. not really a badass
.....no he's a badass @@threedeemelodies
MFMaximusStudios no, he kinda sucks
@@threedeemelodies No he's a badass
ShaneOfThrones he is like, the most infuriating and evil character ever. he is not a badass, he’s a coward
Podcast notes: Half Measures
Guests: Producer Melissa Bernstein; Bryan Cranston
1. Half Measures - pretty obvious, but it’s a reference to Mike’s story about doing things halfway
2. Walt tried his best to save Jesse...and despite the episode title, he goes full measure at the end of the episode
3. Transitional season for Walt - he needs to embrace who he’s become & be the criminal in order to survive. Bryan sees Walt telling Gus he knows what he did & he would’ve done the same re: Hank as acknowledging the transition he’s making. He’s being honest with himself. Vince’s take is that Walt is going by “keep your friends close & enemies closer” - he knows he can’t lie to Gus, so he’s telling a very canny master chess player he knows what’s going on & he (Walt) isn’t a threat. (Again, Vince loves the debate about what’s happening)
4. Walt on Gus’ right hand side - this is the first time anyone has sat beside Gus.
5. In the cold open, a car pulled up to Wendy (Julie Minesci) before it was supposed to, & Vince was annoyed...but someone told him it wasn’t one of theirs! It was just a person looking to pick up a sex worker! So someone got on the bullhorn to tell Julie it wasn’t their car & not to get in! She told the person “it’s not what you think - I’m an actress!”
6. How they shot the car assault scene - one pass with nothing, just the background...second pass with the stuntman driving car & nothing there but a bag on the ground for it to roll over...third pass the two actors standing on their mark, turning heads quickly, then jerking their bodies as though they’ve been hit (many takes for this as it’s hard to do!)...all combined, then at one point, when we see the actor go over & under the car, the actors are computer generated. (30-40% chance of a stunt person getting seriously injured, so they went with CG as they didn’t want anyone hurt)
7. Where does Walt go from here? Hmmmm? Walt seems to have taken Mike’s advice about no half measure to heart, but certainly not as Mike meant it. Walt is looking one step at a time at this point...all very immediate. He can’t think down the road. In most tv shows, you know what your character is going to do & can guess what’s coming, but even Bryan can’t guess at Walt & BB.
8. Walt finally realizes that Mike works for Gus, not for Saul
Jessica omg did that really happened with the actress?!?
Craig Kostelecky haha! I need to hire you as my agent! 😉 I’ll give you 15% of that doubled salary 😁
BAT/HACK/ SLASH/ NICK it did! And it wasn’t until she was talking to the driver that they realized it and had to try to get her attention before she got in!
Jessica omg 😂😂😂😂
Also, Aaron Paul has a 'No Half Measures' tattoo that he got when BB wrapped. Cranston has the BB Logo tattooed inside his finger. A gift from Cranston once they wrapped the series.
My favourite note is the one about Walt sitting at Gus' right hand side
What about Walt Jr.'s driving test?? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha :) These questions need answers!!!
Not gonna lie. Id let Nikki watch my proverbial kids 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Mike's monologue was truly amazing and this whole episode is fantastic.
Coeaxe how’s that for a full measure mike
I have never been prouder of Jesse than at the moment he says no to Gus ❤️😭 It really took balls to stand up for the kids knowing he was one command away from being dead.
Super funny that Steven mentioned the windshield cause it goes through some shit again this ep 😂
Can’t wait for you guys to see the next one. It’s only up from here!
That was so awesome. Especially because nobody else except Jesse seem to care about the child there. Mad respect for Jesse!
Side fact some guy pulled up to the actress looking for her services didn't know they were filming breaking bad
Walt killed so Jesse would not. Sacrifice. I freaking love that Walt alone kept Jesse from getting blood on his hands. It only looked easy for him because he'd made up his mind. He is not all bad.
Walter is moving mountains to keep Jesse alive, he's shouldering the responsibility for their deaths because he knows it would be the end of Jesse. No more half measures ..
This will be a fun week
Murder Burgers. Lolololol
I was looking for this comment hahaha
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Steven react like that whenever Walt shot that dude with no hesitation! Lmao😂😂 that was so priceless!
😮🍔🔫
Oh and of course Nicky with the “what about Walt Jrs drivers test?!” Lmaoooooooooooo!!
one of the most shocking things I've ever seen in a show or movie... I did not expect Walt to do that. - S
Nikki & Steven React...bro.. you and Nikki are about to experience many many many more of those reactions!! 😂😂😂
I know right I thought ‘she is the only person worried about walt jr’s driving test lol
One of the best Breaking Bad moments.
🤥🍔🔫 The parallel between Mike's story and the half-measure of the meeting between Jessie, Gus, Walt, and the dealers was incredible.
@@Fbitypeshit - Jesse, the latter.
@@ghenry4513 Mike may have meant it to be about Jessie, but Walt sees Jessie as the victim in this scenario, not the aggressor. That's why he tried a diplomatic approach to fix the problem, but this action actually turned out to be the half-measure when the dealers killed Tomas. I'm sure Mike's view of the situation would change if he knew the whole story, given his empathy toward victims (especially children). He's a good Pop-pop. 😁
I love the fact that you guys thought "Well, Walt Jr. can't use the car for the driving test NOW can he?"
😮 🍔 🔫
By the way, I couldn't help but laugh when Nikki said "What about Junior's driving test?" after Walt hit those two dudes with his car 😂
In the podcast (spoilers for Jessica's comment next episode): Vince tells a story about how an early considered teaser for Full Measure was an undercarriage shot of Walt's car with the one dude's glasses bouncing up and down, while Jr and the driving test admin are talking about the results of the test and the damage on the car.
@@MagnusvonYoshi Haha woah, that would've been a sick shot to be honest.
Steven's WHOA!!! when Walt shoots the guy is the most perfectly nerdy, Joey Lawrence sounding thing I've ever heard. Haha, I love it so much
s03e06 - "Nikki: spending next two seasons into the jail?", s03e12 - "Nikki: spending next two seasons running away from Gus?" --- hehehe
Walt's actions at the end are like a calculated chess move: he knows Gus has been itching to murder Jesse for a while know, and if Jesse had killed his men he would have been finished. Walt did it instead, betting on "the respect I have for this man" that Gus mentioned earlier, hoping it can shield him. But it's a thin hope of survival against absolute annihilation.
I always knew that the entirety of season 4 was a chess match, but I never realized this scene was kind of like that too. Interesting stuff.
Been waiting for this one.
Me too, been refreshing like crazy
And I'm waiting even more for future seasons/episodes.
I clearly remember watching this episode, being blown away obviously and reading the next episode title 'full' measure' and thinking - wtf wasn't THAT full ?
Walt knew that Jessie was a gentle soul and won't live with himself if he killed those dudes. He actually saved him there.
Walt took Mike's advise and went full blown Heisenberg - No Half Measures. 😮 🍔 🔫
Walt's car should have gotten a supporting emmy nomination somewhere in the shows run.
Oh mam, i totally forgot about Wendy the nob gobbler intro. LMAO
Walt realized that going to Gus because of Jesse's problem ended up being a half measure that got Tomas killed.
One of the best endings ever! Iconic scene 👌
That ending was LIT
It's so fun to watch because they are already speechless and horrified. They hear it all the time but truly have no idea what they are in for at all. This was an outstanding episode but the greatest ones are to come including the greatest single episode in TV history.
I think the actor who plays Jessie, Aaron Paul, has a real life tattoo that says no half measures
That’s amazing
Walt protected Jesse, he saved his life. That was honorable. Tomas was doomed before Walt ever came into the picture. If it wasn’t meth , it would some other drug he would be mixed up with.
“What about Walt, Jr’s driving test?”
Most random question after this episode I’ve heard yet. I love these two.
OMG I have been *waiting to see this REACTION!!!!!* We all *told* you this show was on steroids and increasingly gets more suspenseful. See? We warned you...
Lmao, on steroids, so true!! And yet, as intense as the season 3 finale is, it still gets ROIDED UP more every season!
YEEESSSS, I've been waiting for their reaction to this one, too. And even more so for "Full Measures."
@@editorjared Yeah I know. I think I watched about 80% of Full Measures with my mouth hanging open.
Probably the only show that gets better with every season. Except Fly. I hated Fly.
Dirty Sanchez lol yeah Fly is a polarizing episode.
Man its like watching that scene all over again! I forgot how crazy that scene was. This show is amazing!
@Edison Trent hahah, that's awesome. Just goes to show even more how captivating this show is!
360p squad. Who else was waiting on their page all morning psyched to watch the reaction to this episode?
It's 6PM here in Denmark, crazy that it's morning for most of y'all 😊
Elisabeth Larsen That is crazy.
@PR Highlights that's the whole point, tho, we know that, 360p squad means we are here watching it so early that it is only in 360p. We are fully aware.
Jeez bro lol
😮🍔🔫
Hank finds out that having Marie around really comes in handy. ✊
😂😂😂😂
🤣
Well played sir.
Skyler also came in "handy" for Walt on his birthday. 😉
I think Gus told them to kill the boy so Jessie would retaliate and they could kill him and Gus would have Walt to himself. But Gus didn’t count on Walt loving Jessie.
Oh lordy lordy this is a huge twist for the show and I love it so much. Those last couple minutes are intense as hell. And Mike's speech to Walt about half measures is another one of my favorite monologues from this show. Praise be to Jonathan Banks. And Jesse standing up (literally) to Gus is also one of those great chilling moments. So much about this episode that is crazy.
“I’m disappointed in you Jesse.” Dude, a child just died and he blamed himself. He’s trying his best.😩
Steven your intuition is on point again!! Walt showed up to "save" the day!! And if you thought this episode was insane, just wait....😮🍔🔫😰
As often & correctly as he calls various series' plot points, Steven should be writing for TV
Thank you Robin!!!! Not much of a writer but I'd be down to be some kind of advisor... Ha!!!! I do have a scary movie idea I need written.
The way Walt executes that guy with the dreadlocks... Holy shit. Almost no hesitation.
There's something really wholesome about seeing Nikki lose her shit while watching this show
I remember being equally blown away by the ending. I knew Walt was capable of certain things before. But this was a whole new level for the character.
Walt:
How’s that for a full measure mike?
Walt: "Run"
Jesse: "What the Hell, man?! I was just gonna give them my gun! We were gonna go to Taco Cabeza and like, bury the hatchet, yo!"
Oh.....jesse here hold my gun and I'll run
You could say Walt shooting the dealer was a "Mercy Kill".
"Walt's gonna show up..."
Yeah. Yeah, he is... lmao
You guys’ reactions are my favorite on TH-cam. I’ve never even liked reaction channels until I found you guys. You actually make me feel like I’m watching this show for the first time again. Thank you.
22:58 I could watch that all day. Stevens reaction kills me every time.
I've seen that last scene 3 times, and it still kick starts my heart into overdrive. Good reaction!
You guys are really fun to watch with! I feel like I'm back in 2010 watching for the first time again, having my siblings and some friends over in silent attentiveness punctuated with instances of surprised gasps and exasperated responses. You guys keep having fun.
Walt running over those guys and telling Jesse, “run” sticks out in my mind as one of the defining breaking bad moments
The writing in this show is so terrific. When Walt says "run" at the end, it's just perfect. Just about every other show would have had a wordy dialogue thrown in there that was just unnecessary. Breaking Bad is like David Gilmore on guitar. Every note is intentional and there is nothing unnecessary thrown in there.
"Murder burgers" 😄 man this episode is so amazing...I LOVE that scene in the motel where Jesse is talking to Wendy...the lighting is absolutely beautiful and the music! Then the half measures speech from Mike and then the end, THE END!!! I'm obsessed with that music now, it plays again at the end but even more intensely. I think it's my 2nd favorite ending of any episode (after "Crawlspace"). Just wow.
I hate reaction videos but honestly i love following you as you watch breaking bad. Its my favorite show of all time and its fun "rewatching" it again this way, especially with your pre & post commentary.
Aaron Paul won an Emmy for this episode 😊
One of my favorite episodes! The train doesn’t slow down from here! Btw, “murder burgers” had me dying. Good stuff, Steve!
Best reaction to this episode hands down!!! “Heisenberg’s... RUN!!!!!”
This show is still so amazing after all these years! I started binge watching again thanks to your reactions and am currently on season 5 lol
I seriously wish I could just binge this show with you two. So many good episodes like this!
😁😁😁 Me, grinning my ass off all through this episode waiting for you to get to the end. Then laughing my ass off at your reaction! 🤣🤣🤣
When Walt drove in and messed up those guys y’all reaction is one of if not my favorite reaction to any scene ever😂😂
Murder burgers HAHAHA! Dont know why but I actually laughed out loud at that.
One of the most awesome moments of the show!!!:D
Nikki, your reaction at the end was a joy to watch! I remember when I first watched this and I called my friend who got me into the show and just made the same noises that you did.
I never thought I would actually like this show before, but now I’ve rewatched the series up to 13 times, and I’ve also rewatched Better Call Saul 5 times, and I just can’t express how much I love this show. It’s just too good.
"Jesse, you need to wake up from this nightmare!"
Not the words I would have used, seeing how a character took that advice in Hill House 1x09. >_>
When Jesse took that hit of blue sky, I feel like it represents how addicting the show is about to get for the viewers. Masterpiece
Love how fast you guys are breezing through this series.
Might need a vacation when we are done. GoT and BrBa will be wrapping up the same month I believe.
Im so happy yall are legit opening these all with "yo".
I just got off work and walked through the cold soaked and saw this....and the Yo was fuckin perfect.
This is the first episode I've REALLY been looking forward to. I don't know why people have started doing a bunch of BB reacts but I wanted these when I finished watching it and that was only about a year ago.
Even Steven looked surprise by the noise that came out of his own mouth when Walt shot the guy 😂
The entire last scene of this episode from the moment Jesse raises his gun gives me chills every time I see it. (Run!)
Oh, and I could listen to Mike tell stories all night.
I love that Lucas spider is sitting behind you. My grand kids love him and they are teenagers. Hell, I love him. He is adorable.
I am rewatching with you guys and it's fun because it's been years since I've seen it and I remember certain things but forget how it all unfolds. I remember there was a scene with the 2 drug dealers getting hit by the car but the whole scene inside Gus' trailer was like it was completely new to me today and forgot about how game changing the ending with "run" was. I know what happens in the next episode but after that it's almost like season 4 is going to be completely new for me. I can't even recall the story line in my head right now so I'm pumped.
I think after Game of Thrones ends I'm going to completely separate myself from the show for years and rewatch at a later time. Problem is I'm so obsessed with GoT that I don't think I'll ever "forget" like I have with Breaking Bad. This is fun!
my sweet summer children, what do you know of fear?
I’ve been waiting for this episode so long. I knew y’all weren’t ready
i was laughed so hard at your reactions at the end lmaoooooo
love u guys so much!
I remembered there was a reaction today, but when I the thumbnail I realized what episode it was and liked the video immediately
“Walt just fucking pulled that shit without hesitation “ HAHAHAHA
The absolute best cliff hanger ever I was blown away by that ending when saw it live
i started this show when you guys did and i stay a couple episodes ahead so i can watch your reaction when you post and whenever something happens to a kid or animal my first thought is "oh no Nikki is going to hate that"
i also had the same reaction at the end as you guys
Hahaha. Jesse started walking up and I was like oooooh shit! This is THIS episode!!! This show was so amazing. Best show on television.
