Wow! Love that. 🩵 So many amazing intentional details put into the show. I also like that the unintentional bits make for great moments, too. Like baby Holly saying “mama” was not by design. She just started calling for her mother who was off screen, and Cranston went with it. ☺️
20:09 - When Holly said "Mama" repeatedly, she was actually looking at her real mother who was just a few feet away. The director realized just how great it was that he kept it in the scene.
The great thing about the way Walt falls when Hank is shot is that it looks as though he's the one who took the bullet himself. Just through this moment alone, it shows us without telling us that this is it - Walt's line has finally been crossed. Till now, Walt has been able to justify to himself every person he's either directly killed, been responsible for their death indirectly or whose life he ruined in some way. But Hank dying is the first consequence of Walt's actions that he's genuinely incapable of accepting, and we see it beautifully yet tragically portrayed in this moment where it's as if he himself has just been shot.
Anna Gunn was phenomenal in this episode. Overlooked by Hanks death but that scene where she is running after him as he drives away. Any parent feels that!! Phenomenal.
I watched this show when it first aired back when I was single. I rewatched it again last year now having a daughter that same age as Holly. Man, this episode had me crying like a baby when she started saying mama in the bathroom and when she was crying in the fire truck. It just hits 10 times harder as a parent.
I've been around a lot of bad dudes in my wasted life. I've found that they aren't necessarily evil, but they share the same trait. They have a strict but warped moral code. If you do A, then expect B, kind of thing. A lot of the time when they get personally violent, it's because you actually hurt their feelings with your words. With these guys, your word is your deed and your deeds get you killed. It's business-like and inhuman.
I never, ever get tired of this episode. Every single actor is SO good in it, even baby Holly, LOL. That callling for "mama" and how she looks so scared and sad in the fire truck break my heart every time. 😢
this is something I noticed for the first time in this episode that I've watched countless times. when Walt asks the native man if that 's his truck. and the man looks in that direction of the truck to look at it... Idk it just made me chuckle... he had to check and see if it was his truck.
Oh wow I’ve watched this show like 5 times I never realized the Walt’s face and position is the same as Gus by the pool . Good eye ! In fact it’s the exact same, I just searched up a side by side photo , wow .
Oh I'm sure any actor would be happy you feel anything strongly towards their character, if they're a villain and you hate them, good, they did their job well.
This is basically the climax of the series, everything has lead to this moment of Hank and Gomez dying and Walter having to go on the run, while Skyler, Walt Jr. and Marie are left wondering where Hank is. It sucks that Jesse now has to be in the neo Nazi place and cook meth under the threat of Andrea and Brock will be killed if he doesn’t. It’s also cool to see Walt’s pants from the pilot again when he’s rolling the barrel of money in the desert. This episode got Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn their last Emmys for Breaking Bad, which is very deserved. Great reaction guys, hope you’re having a great day. Take care!
I never really noticed before how, when everyone else was digging for the money, and being all excited, Todd was just looking down at Hank and Walt on the ground. Along with earnestly saying, "Sorry for your loss," he really is an odd duck.
Hey, he’s trying. He’s trying his damdest to emulate the most basic human feelings and emotions that are clearly completely alien and mystifying to him.
It honestly makes me wonder where Todd could’ve ended up in his life if he wasn’t with Uncle Jack and the Neo-Nazis, and didn’t end up as an utter sociopath.
He's such an interesting character. I really wonder what his past was like, it's like he genuinely doesn't realize how evil his actions are, cruelty is just normalized for him. He was likely raised by neo nazis though so that makes sense, it's really tragic. I really do think he means it when he says things like "sorry for your loss" or "just so you know, this isn't personal". Obviously that doesn't make his actions any less despicable but it's just interesting how he seemingly doesn't have any bad intentions
Along with the bloopers that you’re planning on watching I recommend watching “Ozymandias as read by Bryan Cranston” it’s a poem that this episode is named off of and it’s a great representation to what happens to people who are in the “empire business”
I like how Walt tried to use money twice in this episode to try to weasel himself out of trouble. He tried to trade for Hank's life, and he tried to smooth things over with his family. Both times, he realized that money couldn't buy you everything. The thing he's chased after for 5 seasons and it's worthless when it really matters. Tragic.
Hank! 😭 And I feel so bad for poor Flynn. Walt, Walt, Walt… 🤦🏾♀️ All he had to do was take the job provided by Gretchen & Elliott and he would’ve _had_ medical care. Now, his egotistical actions have led to the demise of his family. But that’s what happens when you poison a kid and think that someone’s coming for you… you cowardly call in *Nazi-aid* instead of facing the threat yourself. 😂 I mean, seriously though, Walt had a gun on him. Was he really that scared of taking on Jesse himself? 🤷🏾♀️ Man, I hated seeing Gomey and Hank get taken out. At least Hank went out like a boss. 💜 Great reaction guys. Can’t believe these videos are coming to a close. 😢
This episode was really hard on the cast. I believe Anna Gunn (Skylar) had a difficult time recovering from the emotional trauma of filming this episode.
They really did amazing wrapping the fall of an empire into this episode. If you look back when Walt’s head hits the ground the even had a rig that made dust fly up and the ground crack to further push the statue falling vibe
I am late to the party too, just finished this episode last night & what a roller coaster of emotions. When he sped off with Holly I cried and thought oh no he will crash & then they show him so calmy taking care of her in the restroom and I am like oh okay I mean this seems so real and raw it has me tripping and poor Marie!
I think God himself oversaw the creation of the series and decided to help in the last shot by forcing the perfect stray dog to cross the road at the perfect moment.👍👍👍 I wondered if this dog was trained until one day I found out Vincent Gilligan himself denied it. Walter’s just a stray dog now. (autotranslated)
Favorite episode of the series hands down. To see everything falling apart and the loss of Hank, Skylar and Jr fighting Walt, Jr finding out, Walt loosing it all and disappearing, Jesse a meth cook slave! Just so much happens and has you on edge from start to finish. Can’t wait for Max to see the finale
9:16 - Todd literally saves BOTH Walter & Jesse in this scene. I only realized this after watching this scene about a dozen times. As creepy as he is, we should give credit where it's due.
The reason Walt said those things over the phone was because he knew the police were listening and he wanted to give her deniability by acting like she wasn’t a voluntary part of his operation
"Even the house sees more vibrant" if you contrast the scene with the knife fight there, rhe house is fully dark, as the show goes on the house gets less and less lighting to represent how "home" gets tainted on all that Walt is doing to "help them"
You guys noticed some touches that I honestly hadn’t noticed myself. But all-around, yeah, this episode was just ok another level, even by Breaking Bad standards. I honestly swear, there are times where I’m not even sure whether I should feel even a little sorry for Walt or not. Cause on one hand, he tried to save Hank from Jack, and tried to get his family free from the heat. But on the other hand, how vindictive, manipulative, and downright abusive he’s been to Skyler throughout Season 5, and Jesse throughout the show, when he was offered another way they could do things without hurting anyone, it makes it pretty hard when others like Jesse and Skyler wanted Walt to leave the drug trade. I definitely felt bad for Jesse. He was the only criminal at this point who tried to do the right thing, trying to stop Walt, specifically trying to stop him from hurting anyone else. Even before this point, even if Jesse was a loose cannon sometimes, Jesse suggested other options for Walt which would be genuinely good for Walt and his family. Earlier on in the season, Jesse suggested they take the deal to trade the methylamine for 5 million dollars so that nobody else gets hurt from their side, and so Walt could remain safe and live his life with his family. I actually just realized something else: Walter first entered the meth business and partnered up with Jesse by blackmailing him. “Either that, or I turn you in.” Now it comes full circle with Jesse actually turning Walt in. This was definitely the point of no return for anyone and everyone in the show. The moral of this episode was definitely consequence. Just a couple of more episodes left. It’s been a great journey with you guys!
Breaking Bad (and this ep.) just marked the APEX of a whole television era that just had some of the best TV shows ever like "Lost," "House MD", "Dexter", (and the golden years of TWD, Supernatural). We will NEVER see another great and simuntaneously good time like this. It was historic.
One of few imdb anything to still have a perfect 10 on its score, it is considered by many to be the pinnacle of TV. And I remember the director of the episode saying something along the lines of I'm the one that gets to @#$! the prom queen.
Yeah that phone call was on purpose to make sure that Skyler doesn't get in trouble for knowing he's trying to make it look like he threatened her to stay quiet the whole time making himself look worse and that baby Holly needs her own Emmy award
Todd is such a misunderstood sociopath. He is like Jesse except the opposite side of the emotional scale. Todd wants to do the right thing and be admired by the two main people he respects. His uncle Jack and Walt. He doesn't respect Jesse because he is emotional but Todd doesn't feel much emotion except for maybe pride. They would have killed Walt this episode if not for Todd's admiration for him. Gotta love that Opie- deadeye psycho Todd.
Glad you picked up on Walt's acting during the phone call. Getting Marie off the hook. A surprising amount of people just think he's being full evil, despite him loving his family throughout the series and crying his eyes out while saying those things
So you were ok with the totally bullshit episode where 2 planes crashed above Walt's house?😂 While overall this show was fantastic and great acting, there was some nonsense plot lines

My favorite Easter egg is the chess board in the firehouse. It show the White king in a checkmate situation.
Amazing, I never noticed that detail! The list of missed opportunities on this show is very very short indeed...
I never noticed that! God, I love this show
Wow! Love that. 🩵 So many amazing intentional details put into the show. I also like that the unintentional bits make for great moments, too. Like baby Holly saying “mama” was not by design. She just started calling for her mother who was off screen, and Cranston went with it. ☺️
Its not checkmate, but close. White king has a few moves left, just like Walt.
where u see chess board?
20:09 - When Holly said "Mama" repeatedly, she was actually looking at her real mother who was just a few feet away. The director realized just how great it was that he kept it in the scene.
Hmm... Bravo Vince?
“What’s wrong with you? We’re family” 💔 Breaking Bad is about pain, suffering 😢 Anna Gunn and Betsy Brandt are incredible actresses
It's unbelievable how good it is the acting
Literally everybody on screen puts on an amazing performance
The way I cackled at "not even the baby wants to hang out with you". 🤣🤣

Fun fact: the actor who plays uncle Jack and his right hand man, not Tod, both made appearances as Dharma employees in Lost.
It would be cool to see them react to Lost, if they haven't seen it already.
For me personally i think this is the best chapter of the series.
Anna Gunn was phenomenal in this episode. Overlooked by Hanks death but that scene where she is running after him as he drives away. Any parent feels that!! Phenomenal.

She was. I watched a BTS, and it was actually really difficult for her to shoot.
"This is one quiet neighborhood...nobody ever comes out to see what's going on." LOL!...I thought the same thing.
Fun fact this is the only episode in television history to be given a 10 on imdb

Best hour of TV...ever. I still get clammy hands watching it unfold and yet; more to come!
The way I see Todd is he is wearing a human suit. He says things he thinks human beings would say. Because he just isn't one.
I never, ever get tired of this episode. Every single actor is SO good in it, even baby Holly, LOL. That callling for "mama" and how she looks so scared and sad in the fire truck break my heart every time. 😢
Anna Gunn's 2nd Emmy, Bryan Cranston's 4th (Aaron Paul's 3rd was for "Confessions").
this is something I noticed for the first time in this episode that I've watched countless times. when Walt asks the native man if that 's his truck. and the man looks in that direction of the truck to look at it... Idk it just made me chuckle... he had to check and see if it was his truck.
This ep is nuts! Dean Norris was my favorite performer

@@jakandratchet9930 I think, he was a natural born psychopath.

I have enjoyed reliving this series through your eyes. I’m sad it’s coming to an end. Can’t wait for “Better Call Saul”
I never noticed how you can almost misheard Walt as saying, "Were a family" when he's saying "We're a family."
Hank! 😭 And I feel so bad for poor Flynn.

I havnt seen this far into the show since it aired originally I completely forgot how insanely sad it gets especially for the family and for jesse
Yep, it’s true, we all said it: this is the best episode of the entire series. …We never said it would be a particularly fun watch.
Arguably the greatest episode in television history and I would make the argument it's one of the greatest acting in the history of cinema.
Agree but I would never tell that to someone who hasn’t watched the show just before they watched it.
@@davesilver5493 why, all I'm saying it's worth watching, I haven't said what happened, just that it's greatness at a high level
@@christopherking4932 it was said in the video by Jeremy. You did good.

The first scene of this episode (the flashback to the RV) is actually the last scene they filmed for breaking bad.
The most intense episode in the series
Only 2 episodes left! Hard to believe it's almost over. I'm really looking forward to the finale. As bittersweet as it is 😅 great reaction guys!
You guys are on a roll with the uploads! 👍

its crazy how much people suffered because of walter think of all the overdosed homeless people he is truly the devil incarnation.

Here we goooooooooooo
Just finished watching this Episode for the first time today and came across you guys. I was surprised this was uploaded two weeks ago 🙌🏼
The beginning of the end......
Breaking bad has the makings of a varsity crime drama
*Instant click*
I cry every time I see the fight between souled and Walt and when he takes the baby from her
Oh shit!
10:54 - Walter takes on the characteristics of everyone he kills. He's inherited Hank's ability to roll barrels.
One of few imdb anything to still have a perfect 10 on its score, it is considered by many to be the pinnacle of TV. And I remember the director of the episode saying something along the lines of I'm the one that gets to @#$! the prom queen.
You look so much younger than 90, Mr. Nelson. 🙂
Walt ruined so many lives
Jr wanted to be called Flynn back around season 2 when Skyler kept going out and Flynn just wanted to be called that and have his own “Identity”
Yeah that phone call was on purpose to make sure that Skyler doesn't get in trouble for knowing he's trying to make it look like he threatened her to stay quiet the whole time making himself look worse and that baby Holly needs her own Emmy award
The slow pan to Jesse under the car all the broken glass looks like the blue meth they cook it’s a genius shot

I have to be Frank.

Sucks that Jesse's plan got Hank & Gomey killed. Should have stuck with wearing the wire.
Its pretty ironic too since Jesse also said that the exact opposite of whatever you think is gonna happen, happens with Walt
Skyker as bad like walter.
The 2 best characters their cold bodies being thrown in a deep hole in the desert. Same with two certain characters in better call Saul. Shame.
Skyler is the worst character in breaking bad
nothing but suffering after this not one happy moment.
i felt so bad when gomie died for some reason my soul left me for a second
I hate skyler
This episode is where the series lost me. There’s NO WAY Jack would let Walt live much less give him a barrel of money no matter what Todd thinks.
What reason does Jack have to kill Walt?
