"Why would Francesca Be shredding a school schedule and why would the camera linger on it?" Holy SHIT. I could have watched the episode 70 times and would have never realised this
I know, right!? I was giddy when I saw that! I’ve gotten into the habit of zooming into every document, photo, sign, name badge, and it has paid dividends!
My mind is actually blown. How Walt managed to poison Brock is maybe THE lingering question the series leaves us with, and while fans had worked out all the pieces, the show gave us a major hint in the original episode this whole time. Incredible work spotting it!
My god, this is just masterful. The fact you are able to output something of this quality each week is commendable. Congratulations on all the new members, it is absolutely deserved!
I really like that, because Saul never met Hector (even in BCS), he calls him "Tio" because that's likely what Jesse called him, which is because that's what Tuco called him. Jesse, Saul, and Walter all just assume that's his name.
That is really funny... great point! Even Vince and the writers just called him that for the longest time because he didn't have a first name until Season 4!
Yes and apparently so did the writer of the Breaking Bad comic oddly. The comic is simply a recap of the events up to Episode5-08, so 99% of it is scenes lifted directly from the show and redrawn. However at one point they mention the victim of the explosion being "Mr. Tio Salamanca" ugh.
Now this is something I have been waiting for a long time, usually I watch these on my phone but sitting down on my computer for this one. 1 - Love that the "Face Off" name came from something so innocuous, I remember getting a false spoiler that Mike was going to be in this episode because I thought I saw him on the IMDB Banner, I ended up just being confused. I remember thinking this episode was going to be a literal face off between Mike and Walt lol 2 - I appreciate the becky scene more after seeing what Metastasis did for it, having us see it from a distance is so much more effective. 3 - Saul always has the best ideas, unintentionally or not. 4 - That woman not acting is so beautiful, an iconic moment born from something so minuscule. 5 - Gus walking to his death is such a beautiful scene. 6 - Its so cool the walking dead guys were on this, I heard they put blue meth in their show. Its like 2 friends paying tribute to each other, even if I am not a twd fan I think that's cool 7 - The next episode of TV I saw that would make me feel this way is The Wires "Middle Ground". Not sure which one of these two episodes I prefer 8 - Something I noticed when rewatching El Camino with my dad. Walter finds out Gus is dead on the radio, and Jesse finds out Walter is dead on the radio. 9 - The coffee detail is wonderful. 10 - I like to listen to black whenever I accomplish something, lol. That cut to the instrumental was superb. Shoutout to Blasonduo with that IWBTG pfp. Wonderful video. Now my most anticipated episode is Ozymandias. And yes this is the only time I have become a member
Wow, thanks! And that's appropriate because I usually sit down at my computer to respond to your detailed comments! 1. Wow, that's amazing! I think I knew it was a face off between Walt and Gus, but obviously had no idea about the double meaning! 2. Woah, I have not seen this scene in Metástasis! I must check this out NOW! 3. True! 4. 💯 It's so sweet that they brought her back for that! 5 & 6. Also 💯, and I haven't watched much of TWD. 7. Interesting... I never watched The Wire! 😳 8. Awesome! I just made a note of that for when I cover El Camino! 9. I don't know why, but I find it funny that there's always coffee. Seems a bit unrealistic at times, but also maybe it's old coffee just sitting there. 😆 10. I often forget about most of these incredible BB songs, but now as I do these videos, they seem to stick around. Thanks! Thanks as always!! I'm now saying goodbye to your gold badge that's about to change!
Just realized that both Season 4 and 5 end with Walt Rescuing jesse from captivity by shooting his kidnappers, and then having a phone call with someone that he ends with dominance. "I won." "Well.... Goodbye Lydia."
Tuco emoji would go crazy, especially the face he makes when he goes “WOOOOOOO” after beating up No-Doze. Congratulations on the record breaking amount of members!! This channel genuinely deserves all the growth it’s been getting :’)
Breaking Bad truly is one of those rare shows where looking into every little detail on screen will always eventually pay off. That's good writing for you.
I know you always get compliments about the quality of your videos, and you might be getting bored of them by now, but I can't say thank you enough on behalf of us all. You really deserve all the praise you get.❤
The "face off" effect is also a brilliant way of showing how fastidious Gus is. What could be more absurd than straightening your tie when half of your face is blown off?
I dont think walt got interrupted planting the bomb. I think he planted the bomb knowingly after hector got checked out, because he' know the place would be searced for potential threats. If he planted the bomb before, it would have been caught. So he knew he had just a short time to place it under the wheelchair.
On the breaking bad subreddit two users had a bet with eachother based on if Walt actually poisoned Brock and the loser had to drink piss. He actually did it.
The "Lily of the Valley" reveal is still my favorite ending to a show's season ever. Dexter Season 4 ending is up there, but this Breaking Bad one just nails it. I got goosebumps just watching it here, and also typing it out. I've rewatched this show several times and I understand the slow pacing and backlash with that for people who aren't bigger fans of the show, but this reveal just makes the build up of Walt and the show in general so perfect and starts to really begin the beginning of the end.
thank god you picked up on the Apparat Germany reference! when i opened the video i thought "OH NO A GERMANY REFERENCE I DIDNT MENTION" but im super hyped that you did xD and dark is one of my favourite shows of all time!
just finished watching and wow, this is easily one of my favourite videos you’ve made, the fact that you’re able to keep this level of quality on a weekly upload schedule is incredibly impressive, that combined with how much you interact with your fanbase makes me certain that you’ll be a gigantic channel one day
Thanks so much, Zaylic! Honestly, this stretch of 4 episodes was really tough with the combo of self-applied pressure, vacation, sickness, etc. And even though I’m now behind on next week’s video, I’m hopeful to get back into a more normal rhythm! These comments really help!
Absolute masterpiece of a video, this is beyond perfect and the shock I felt reading 56 WAS INSANE I cannot wait to see Season 5, however I understand if you need to take like a week off after this one! Phenomenal job, I'm so happy to say I've been here since the beginning of this series, and the amount of supporters you have is incredible and well deserved! Keep going, man!
Thanks so much, Blok Vader! I'm also happy you've been here, as one of the earliest and most consistent fans of the channel! I *think* S5E1 will arrive on time, which will hopefully end the crunch I've been experiencing for the last month!
It's true this is the first channel I've become a member of - your videos are extremely well put together, entertaining and I've never seen such in depth behind the scenes info about this show. Your editing is truly top tier. Super glad to be able to support you!
Can clearly see the effort, time, and passion put into these videos. (For example, looking to see if ricin is mentioned at all in house. Where do you go to find information like that?) Nothing better than waking up Sunday to see a new episode broken down. “This is art, Mr White!”
Thank you so much! (For the House thing I saw reports from others, but then also scanned the episodes to double check. Especially ones like “Poison” in S1!)
They made Jesse way too stupid and oblivious in this episode imo. It's sad how easily Jesse gets manipulated by Walt, especially in this episode. Jesse has it all figured out, but for the wrong reasons: He knew Walter poisoned Brook, but because Walter said _"no, it was actually Gus",_ Jesse is just like _"oh okay, I guess you right."_ But then, and this is the worst part for me, when Jesse figures out that it was in fact NOT Gus who poisoned Brook, he doesn't immediately go back to assuming it was Walt. Everything Walt said to Jesse, was relying on the fact that Gus poisoned Brook, so it should have immediately set off a ton of red flags at least. Maybe Jesse just is that dumb, idk. So stay in school y'all, don't become a dropout like Jesse lol.
Well the doctors said that it was a plant that Brock must have gotten into. He doesn't know that Walt has that plant in his backyard, and Walt feigns ignorance as to what the plant is or what it can do. Completely believable that Jesse would think it's all been a misunderstanding, and that's why he clarifies that Gus "had to go".
Right, I think that the fact that it wasn't ricin threw Jesse off. Plus, he had a LOT going on that day (including getting tased and kidnapped) so I'd forgive him for not thinking of everything!
your videos always make me appreciate the show even more. the detail about the school schedules is amazing. no average viewer would catch this and he still chose to put it in with no hint towards it whatsoever. sneaky
Great video and great pronunciation of my name, hahaha. 10/10! Btw yes, this is the only channel I have ever been a member of, u definitely deserve it!
Wow, shoutout to Lorenza Anaya. I already loved the happy little old lady, but knowing that was genuine has made my day. Bless her heart. Great work, as always!
the episode everyone was waiting for even more than crawl space looking forward to watching a 20 minute video of yours and especially the season 5 breakdowns
I've been watching this hidden details series ever since the Pilot edition, but only now did I decide to become a channel member. I'm so glad I got my cameo on the channel in this episode as it was definitely the best yet
I watched this before getting dressed. I am still mad Vince didn't win an EMMY for his hard work directing this masterpiece of an episode. You did a masterful job breaking it all down. I always found it funny Jesse mentioned "House" being where he learned about Ricin since he doesn't seem like someone watching House every week. Plus House is about a genius who is a pain in the ass much like Walt. Vince using his mom for a cameo so that Walt would be sure a bomb isn't in his house is so dark.
19:39 In my case (and im sure many others) you are correct, i never considered becoming a member for any other youtuber, until i ran into your series, every video is so high quality that i just had to show my support, also face off is my favorite episode so i just had to become a member for that
I discovered this series about a week ago and have binge-watched my way up to date. It’s just as entertaining and compelling as the actual show was! As somebody who works in TV production I also want you to know how much I appreciate the effort that’s gone into the graphics.
YEAAAAH !!! I just got into your series last week, binging from the beginning. I was so sad that there wasn't anything for Face Off yet but here we are!!! thank you for the content you make!!!
random unrelated thought: i wonder if the kids who sprayed Heisenberg on the wall checked out the crawl space. maybe there were a couple spare bills down there for them to score? editing is superb in this one, we're getting really close to the end really fast!
Been watching a for about a year and I’ve gotta say these videos are some of the most impressive I’ve ever seen. It must be a federal crime that your channel is as small as it is but holy moly the member count definitely makes up for it. I’m glad to support your page, watching Breaking Bad last year for the first time was a big contributor to my sobriety and watching your videos every week has been super entertaining. You put so much work into these and it most certainly shows. Bravo!
Commenting to boost engagement. Ever since I tuned in around the time the Hermanos analysis came out, I've been hooked; I even went and watched all the previous episodes. It's so interesting seeing how much effort went into this show... and series. I think it would be a treat for your fans if they got a Behind The Scenes video once you finish up Season 5, though that'd probably only be available for members. Keep doing what you're doing, fantastic work!
Thanks for the boost! I did record myself making the Cornered video, so I plan to release a Behind The Scenes at some point (yes, members-only at first but eventually public if people like it). I just have had zero time to put that video together! Thanks again!
I always took Hector's "good-bye" look as him laughing. I'm no expert on disabilities, or even what Hector is or isn't able to do. But the smug look could be his last moment of levity (laughing) before setting the explosion.
Yeah, to me I feel like I see him at peace or almost nostalgic, then amused, then determined/angry. By “goodbye to us,” I meant that it looks like he looks right into the camera! Thanks for becoming a member!
Thanks so much for these awesome videos. Made me start my 6th rewatch of the show lol. One detail i noticed: Walt shoots the henchman in the lab with 3 shots. "Pop pop pop - Three shots" just as he and Jessy discussed when they first planned to get rid of Tuco. Walt uses only one shot on the drug dealers erlier, but he only finished them off after running them over with his car though.
I think the “don’t you think I knew how much” is him coping with it and justifying it to Jessie. “I could do no wrong, I’m a chemist Jessie, because this it means I can never overdose a child” He was certain Jessie was already lighting money on fire.
True, I'm sure he was not sincere. I'm thinking that maybe Jesse could remember his reaction here as another reason to not believe Walt (not that he needs any more reasons)!
You make such amazing content, this being my first and only membership is a badge of honor! It makes me so happy to see this channel flooded with new members! We all appreciate your hard work, king. Thanks for keeping us all entertained! Stay healthy, stay hydrated, and know that we're rooting for you! I can't wait for more ❤
Thanks!! I'll keep going until we run out of episodes! And then onto Better Call Saul! Plus, I still have tons of one-off Breaking Bad video ideas I want to do at some point!
3:08 The two hitmen here sent by Gus (Harris Boivin and Raymond Martinez) were later two of the ten prison inmates who were murdered by Jack Welker's gang on Walter's orders in Gliding Over All.
10:16 I completely agree, the song works perfectly as a final confrontation with Hector from Gus' POV, but also as a final confrontation of Walt (by proxy) and Gus, especially on a rewatch
Incredible! Looking forward to going back and rewatching these from ep 1 just like the show. Im sure your watcher-sub-member ratio is significantly higher than most and its well earned!
While I love Ozymandias, this has to be my favourite. I remember watching it on Netflix at midnight, right after End Times. The bewildering Gus's "survival" of the pipe bomb, the somber track that plays after Walt won, signifying the proper goodbye Gus needed, and especially The Lily of the Valley at the end... Pure cinema.
This episode is awe inspiring. Ever since I first saw it I've always wanted to eventually make something half as good as it! And most of what I've learnt about cinematography and filmmaking I got from breaking bad...and, well....these videos! Not only are they fun but they make me appreciate all the little details in this show... and why its so dang good. Thanks!
First off, thank you SO much for the comment explaining how to become a member! (If I knew how little it would cost me, I would have joined a LONG time ago 😂). Secondly.....I have listened to the official Breaking Bad podcast; I have watched all the "Inside Episode" TH-cam videos; I have read numerous episode reviews across multiple seasons. Why? Because I love discovering things I didn't know. That is why I love your channel and your videos. I don't know if you heard about the meaning behind the class schedule being shredded in Saul's office somewhere or if you noticed it yourself, but I have never heard this particular scene explanation before today (and I should have noticed it myself, I mean it makes sense). Your videos are informative, humorous, and so well made. I'm beyond proud to be an official channel member!
Aww, thank you so much! I’ve gotten into the habit of zooming into every document, sign, name badge, photo, … and it has paid off! I usually just expect to find mistakes, though!
@@betterwatchtv It's why your videos are an absolute must-watch for any BB/BCS fan! I will be spreading the word to those I know who watch both. Speaking of spreading the word, I have already started -- and in quite an unusual way. I work as a para in the special education ERR (Extdended Resource Room) at one of our middle schools here in Kuna, Idaho. Our teacher has a daily white board question for students and staff to answer and this past week we had "Whatcha Watchin' Wednesday -- Who Is Your Favorite TH-camr?" Of course I chose Better Watch TV. After explaining what the channel is all about, not only did our other para tell me she would check out your channel, but the next day one of my students asked me to write it down because he was telling his mom about it and it turns out she is a huge BB fan! (I tried to attach a photo of the white board but I guess TH-cam doesn't allow that).
@@betterwatchtv FYI my original reply to your reply isn't showing so I am posting it again--if it was removed for not being allowed, I apologize in advance. I work as a para in the special education Extended Resource Room (ERR) at my local middle school. Our teacher has a different white board question each day for both students and staff to answer, and this last week we had "Whatcha Watchin' Wednesday -- Who Is Your Favorite TH-camr?". I chose Better Watch TV. After explaining what your channel videos cover, not only did our other para tell me she would check out your channel, but one of my students asked me to write it down because he told his mom and she is a huge BB fan! Just doing my part to help spread the word 🤣 (I tried to attach a picture of the white board, but I guess that's not an option)
Wow, that is so incredibly awesome! Thank you so much for doing that! Yeah, I wish TH-cam made it easy to share photos. I believe a feature like that is coming soon. If you want, you could email it to betterwatchtv@gmail.com and maybe I’ll include it in the next video if that’s okay!
I like how you include the ending songs, such as "Black" in this episode, and others like "Catch yer own Train" and "Waitin' around to die" Most of the songs used in breaking bad are PERFECTLY added and have become most of my favorite songs of all time! Keep up the great quality and great work on these videos, you're the ONLY tv show commentator i can stand 😂
Oh wow, thank you for the huge compliment! Yeah, I continue to be amazed by the eclectic mix of sometimes-obscure songs that are perfect for the moments in the show!
I really wish it had ended here, not only because I love Walter and didn't want him to die, but also because it felt a bit like the nazis came out of nowhere, but I guess when the big fish dies another takes it place
I’m with you on not being super into the whole Uncle Jack’s gang thing, although I do love so much of S5 with the Hank dynamic and so many of the later episodes!
if i could i would have joined 6 months ago, i love the quality of videos and im impressed how you can keep outdoing yourself every week. I've been watching since around s2, kudos
I've been enjoying watching these alongside my current rewatch, but I just overtook you, so now I'll be waiting for your new videos every week 😅 love the videos!
I think the scene of Hank ignoring his family's pleas to put his own well-being over his duty as a DEA agent is foreshadowing his eventual death. Also, I find it weird that Hector does not have access to a spanish-speaking nurse. One would think that his family - prior to their untimely end - would have ensured he'd have access to that.
@@betterwatchtv Yes, that's probably right. Although a nurse spelling the alphabet in spanish, together with the visual aid, would still have been understandable to the audience I recon.
14:20 The destruction of the meth lab is easily one of my favorite scenes in the series. The music gives you a sense of urgency, while the scene delivers one of the last blows to Gus's Empire. Chills.
"Why would Francesca Be shredding a school schedule and why would the camera linger on it?"
Holy SHIT. I could have watched the episode 70 times and would have never realised this
I know, right!? I was giddy when I saw that! I’ve gotten into the habit of zooming into every document, photo, sign, name badge, and it has paid dividends!

Thanks, Mikey!
Same! This is my favorite show. I 've watched it many, many times and I have never noticed this detail.
@@smolidk7981 when he dropped that detail at the end i was SO SHOCKED DUDE😭😭
The shot of Walter's face when he says "I won" is probably my favorite in the whole show.
It's iconic! And thanks for 6 months! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mine is when that girl's butt cheeks are hanging out at Jesse's apartment.
Gotta love how after an entire season of trolling Walt, Tyrus is killed by Walts bomb without him even being it's intended target
Haha, great point! 💥
Tyrus was always a second thought
Sorry, Tyrus!
fuck tyrus. (victor is far superior)
Walter bringing the bomb into the hospital and sitting with it like an old lady never makes me not laugh
Hahaha!
My god, this is just masterful. The fact you are able to output something of this quality each week is commendable. Congratulations on all the new members, it is absolutely deserved!
Thanks so much, 8BallPaul!
I'm suddenly craving donuts
glaze
I can't wait for Better Watch TV to 'Say My Name' (pun included)
Oooo! Now you've got me thinking about how I should incorporate that for the Say My Name episode! Thanks!
I really like that, because Saul never met Hector (even in BCS), he calls him "Tio" because that's likely what Jesse called him, which is because that's what Tuco called him. Jesse, Saul, and Walter all just assume that's his name.
That is really funny... great point! Even Vince and the writers just called him that for the longest time because he didn't have a first name until Season 4!
She’s seeing some guy named Hermano
Yes and apparently so did the writer of the Breaking Bad comic oddly.
The comic is simply a recap of the events up to Episode5-08, so 99% of it is scenes lifted directly from the show and redrawn. However at one point they mention the victim of the explosion being "Mr. Tio Salamanca" ugh.
Hermano's gonna get his ass kicked...
Rest in peace, Mark Margolis. You'll always be missed, but never forgotten.
💯! RIP.
Don't forget Tyrone and John Carlos Española.

Just realized that both Season 4 and 5 end with Walt Rescuing jesse from captivity by shooting his kidnappers, and then having a phone call with someone that he ends with dominance.
"I won."
"Well.... Goodbye Lydia."
🤯🤯🤯 I'm going to need to remember that for the Felina video! Thanks!!
Gus hated Hector so much that he refused to die in the same room as him
Hahaha, I can see that!

But then, and this is the worst part for me, when Jesse figures out that it was in fact NOT Gus who poisoned Brook, he doesn't immediately go back to assuming it was Walt.
Everything Walt said to Jesse, was relying on the fact that Gus poisoned Brook, so it should have immediately set off a ton of red flags at least.
Maybe Jesse just is that dumb, idk. So stay in school y'all, don't become a dropout like Jesse lol.
Well the doctors said that it was a plant that Brock must have gotten into. He doesn't know that Walt has that plant in his backyard, and Walt feigns ignorance as to what the plant is or what it can do. Completely believable that Jesse would think it's all been a misunderstanding, and that's why he clarifies that Gus "had to go".
Right, I think that the fact that it wasn't ricin threw Jesse off. Plus, he had a LOT going on that day (including getting tased and kidnapped) so I'd forgive him for not thinking of everything!
your videos always make me appreciate the show even more. the detail about the school schedules is amazing. no average viewer would catch this and he still chose to put it in with no hint towards it whatsoever. sneaky
Thanks! Indeed. I now have a habit of zooming in on every document, sign, badge, photo, etc. and it pays off!
Saul told the cops Auf Wiedersehen, another Germany mention!
Yeah, I didn't think to count speaking in German!
Great video and great pronunciation of my name, hahaha. 10/10! Btw yes, this is the only channel I have ever been a member of, u definitely deserve it!
Well thanks for explaining the pronunciation so clearly! And thanks again!
Awesome video for the awesome episode! Can't wait for Season 5
🎉🎉🎉 Thanks!
Wow, shoutout to Lorenza Anaya. I already loved the happy little old lady, but knowing that was genuine has made my day. Bless her heart.
Great work, as always!
Thank you, and I agree about Lorenza!
8:28 I meant to say, “Hector’s first appearance WITH GUS!” Thanks, tuča!
Every week you impress me with these videos. I hope to see you at a 6 month membership. Keep up the amazing work you do ❤
Thanks, Kennedy! I hope so, too! ❤️
as predicted: this episode was the banger of all bangers.
Also "Goodbye" by apparat is literally like an epic song
Thanks and I agree 💯 about Goodbye! But also, Black has really gotten stuck in my head the last week! 🎵
the episode everyone was waiting for even more than crawl space
looking forward to watching a 20 minute video of yours and especially the season 5 breakdowns
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you! Season 5 is going to be fun!
I've been watching this hidden details series ever since the Pilot edition, but only now did I decide to become a channel member.
I'm so glad I got my cameo on the channel in this episode as it was definitely the best yet
Thanks so much for being here from the start… and becoming a member! 🙏
I watched this before getting dressed. I am still mad Vince didn't win an EMMY for his hard work directing this masterpiece of an episode. You did a masterful job breaking it all down. I always found it funny Jesse mentioned "House" being where he learned about Ricin since he doesn't seem like someone watching House every week. Plus House is about a genius who is a pain in the ass much like Walt. Vince using his mom for a cameo so that Walt would be sure a bomb isn't in his house is so dark.
Haha, I agree with all that. And thanks, Tony!
@@betterwatchtv Jesse calling those two cops "A Couple of dicks" twice is one of the funniest things in the show
Season 4 is honestly the best season
I’ve always felt 5b (if you allow splitting 5), but I’ll reevaluate as I cover those episodes! I think it’s very close for me!
56 DETAILS⁉️ Absolutely amazing as always 💯
Thank you, Blue Dragon Player!
how significant is it that the word "run" is over Gus' left shoulder when he answers the phone at 9:29? 🤣 great episode as always!!
No idea! An interesting thought…
2nd! Can't wait to watch when I'm home. Hope you start feeling better soon.
Thanks, MrCookiez!! I'm going to bed now!
19:39 In my case (and im sure many others) you are correct, i never considered becoming a member for any other youtuber, until i ran into your series, every video is so high quality that i just had to show my support, also face off is my favorite episode so i just had to become a member for that
Thanks so much for the kind words, and for joining! 🙏
lol in 6 months the 6 month membership page will be sky high. Hopefully he cover BCS after Breaking Bad
It might be the longest song ever recorded! Thanks for joining! Yes, I am indeed going to be doing BCS next!
@@betterwatchtvbest TH-camr on this platform. Engaging content, replies to the viewers and acknowledges the member’s patronage. Bravo
Aww, thanks! I try!
I discovered this series about a week ago and have binge-watched my way up to date. It’s just as entertaining and compelling as the actual show was! As somebody who works in TV production I also want you to know how much I appreciate the effort that’s gone into the graphics.
Oh wow, thanks so much for the kind words!
This channel is criminally underrated.
Thanks for saying that! The growth is accelerating, though! At what point does it become just rated or overrated?
@@betterwatchtv 1 million subscribers at least
Okay, wow! I hope you're right!
This is the only channel I wait the whole week to see a video from. Thank you for your dedication man!
Well thank you for your loyalty!!
Retroactively it feels weird that Saul just mentions a Salamanca without a flinch
Good point!
Right? We were told that we would see BB differently after the end of BCS and they were right!
💯
You have outdone yourself. Each video gets better than the last!
Thank you!!
will you analyze all bcs after you finish breaking bad?
Yes!!
the episode i've been waiting for the whole time. its finally here!
Me too, actually! 💥
oh my god the music when Gus was walking towards the nursing home makes my eyes tear up on every rewatch... Such a good scene.
Right!? Literally goosebumps every single time! Which was pretty ridiculous as I kept watching the scene while editing this video!
YEAAAAH !!!
I just got into your series last week, binging from the beginning. I was so sad that there wasn't anything for Face Off yet but here we are!!! thank you for the content you make!!!
Woo-hoo! Thanks for being here! 💥
I’m so glad you were happy yo make this one this episode is so good usually my Sundays aren’t the best but you make it better see you in season 5 :)
Woo-hoo! Thank you, and I'll see you in Season 5!
random unrelated thought: i wonder if the kids who sprayed Heisenberg on the wall checked out the crawl space. maybe there were a couple spare bills down there for them to score?
editing is superb in this one, we're getting really close to the end really fast!
Ha! Interesting thought! Maybe the police already cleared it out?
Been watching a for about a year and I’ve gotta say these videos are some of the most impressive I’ve ever seen. It must be a federal crime that your channel is as small as it is but holy moly the member count definitely makes up for it. I’m glad to support your page, watching Breaking Bad last year for the first time was a big contributor to my sobriety and watching your videos every week has been super entertaining. You put so much work into these and it most certainly shows. Bravo!
Thank you! That’s amazing… thanks for sharing!
Commenting to boost engagement. Ever since I tuned in around the time the Hermanos analysis came out, I've been hooked; I even went and watched all the previous episodes. It's so interesting seeing how much effort went into this show... and series. I think it would be a treat for your fans if they got a Behind The Scenes video once you finish up Season 5, though that'd probably only be available for members.
Keep doing what you're doing, fantastic work!
Thanks for the boost! I did record myself making the Cornered video, so I plan to release a Behind The Scenes at some point (yes, members-only at first but eventually public if people like it). I just have had zero time to put that video together! Thanks again!
I always took Hector's "good-bye" look as him laughing.
I'm no expert on disabilities, or even what Hector is or isn't able to do. But the smug look could be his last moment of levity (laughing) before setting the explosion.
Yeah, to me I feel like I see him at peace or almost nostalgic, then amused, then determined/angry. By “goodbye to us,” I meant that it looks like he looks right into the camera! Thanks for becoming a member!
Best review I've seen on this amazing channel yet. Thank you, Better Watch TV. 👍🏼
Aww, thank you!
Thanks so much for these awesome videos. Made me start my 6th rewatch of the show lol. One detail i noticed: Walt shoots the henchman in the lab with 3 shots. "Pop pop pop - Three shots" just as he and Jessy discussed when they first planned to get rid of Tuco. Walt uses only one shot on the drug dealers erlier, but he only finished them off after running them over with his car though.
Thank you! Yeah, I missed the three shots thing, but that’s a good callout!
I think the “don’t you think I knew how much” is him coping with it and justifying it to Jessie. “I could do no wrong, I’m a chemist Jessie, because this it means I can never overdose a child”
He was certain Jessie was already lighting money on fire.
True, I'm sure he was not sincere. I'm thinking that maybe Jesse could remember his reaction here as another reason to not believe Walt (not that he needs any more reasons)!
You make such amazing content, this being my first and only membership is a badge of honor! It makes me so happy to see this channel flooded with new members! We all appreciate your hard work, king.
Thanks for keeping us all entertained! Stay healthy, stay hydrated, and know that we're rooting for you! I can't wait for more ❤
Wow, thank you, and thanks for becoming a member! That’s good advice… I’ll follow the doctor’s orders!
love starting off my sunday mornings with better watch tv.... please never stop doing these!!!! theyre incredible!!!!
Thanks!! I'll keep going until we run out of episodes! And then onto Better Call Saul! Plus, I still have tons of one-off Breaking Bad video ideas I want to do at some point!
I cant wait to see your breakdowns of season 5, im so obsessed with this show and your videos!
Thanks so much!
Had no idea this was potentially the end point of the series. The change in tone and story pacing in season 5 makes so much more sense now!
Yes!
3:08 The two hitmen here sent by Gus (Harris Boivin and Raymond Martinez) were later two of the ten prison inmates who were murdered by Jack Welker's gang on Walter's orders in Gliding Over All.
Oh, sweet, thanks! I knew about Chris and was planning to look into the others when I got to that point!
Realising that Better Watch TV breakdowns arent forever brings a tear to my eye
Aww! There’s still all of Better Call Saul after this!
@@betterwatchtv so hyped about that! 🤘🏼
🎉🎉🎉 Thanks!
the best episode of the show! Finally I've been wating for this one! great video once again!
🎉🎉🎉 Thanks!
10:16 I completely agree, the song works perfectly as a final confrontation with Hector from Gus' POV, but also as a final confrontation of Walt (by proxy) and Gus, especially on a rewatch
YES!
It felt like yesterday when you uploaded the season 1 finale. Glad to see your channel growing everyday.
I know, right!? Thanks so much!
Incredible! Looking forward to going back and rewatching these from ep 1 just like the show.
Im sure your watcher-sub-member ratio is significantly higher than most and its well earned!
Thanks so much, Jiggy Calzone, and thanks for joining!
While I love Ozymandias, this has to be my favourite.
I remember watching it on Netflix at midnight, right after End Times. The bewildering Gus's "survival" of the pipe bomb, the somber track that plays after Walt won, signifying the proper goodbye Gus needed, and especially The Lily of the Valley at the end... Pure cinema.
So awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Dude you could make me watch this episode a million times I would never see the school schedule detail. YOU ARE THE BEST WATCH TV❤❤❤
Thanks so much, and thanks for becoming a member
This episode is awe inspiring. Ever since I first saw it I've always wanted to eventually make something half as good as it! And most of what I've learnt about cinematography and filmmaking I got from breaking bad...and, well....these videos! Not only are they fun but they make me appreciate all the little details in this show... and why its so dang good. Thanks!
That’s awesome, and thank you! 🙏 Breaking Bad seems to serve as a great masterclass in a number of dimensions!
I'm so happy I get to be immortalized by turning into a six-month member on Faceoff. Keep up the great videos man!
🙏 Thanks so much for your continued support!
First off, thank you SO much for the comment explaining how to become a member! (If I knew how little it would cost me, I would have joined a LONG time ago 😂).
Secondly.....I have listened to the official Breaking Bad podcast; I have watched all the "Inside Episode" TH-cam videos; I have read numerous episode reviews across multiple seasons. Why? Because I love discovering things I didn't know. That is why I love your channel and your videos. I don't know if you heard about the meaning behind the class schedule being shredded in Saul's office somewhere or if you noticed it yourself, but I have never heard this particular scene explanation before today (and I should have noticed it myself, I mean it makes sense). Your videos are informative, humorous, and so well made. I'm beyond proud to be an official channel member!
Aww, thank you so much! I’ve gotten into the habit of zooming into every document, sign, name badge, photo, … and it has paid off! I usually just expect to find mistakes, though!
@@betterwatchtv It's why your videos are an absolute must-watch for any BB/BCS fan! I will be spreading the word to those I know who watch both.
Speaking of spreading the word, I have already started -- and in quite an unusual way. I work as a para in the special education ERR (Extdended Resource Room) at one of our middle schools here in Kuna, Idaho. Our teacher has a daily white board question for students and staff to answer and this past week we had "Whatcha Watchin' Wednesday -- Who Is Your Favorite TH-camr?" Of course I chose Better Watch TV. After explaining what the channel is all about, not only did our other para tell me she would check out your channel, but the next day one of my students asked me to write it down because he was telling his mom about it and it turns out she is a huge BB fan! (I tried to attach a photo of the white board but I guess TH-cam doesn't allow that).
@@betterwatchtv FYI my original reply to your reply isn't showing so I am posting it again--if it was removed for not being allowed, I apologize in advance.
I work as a para in the special education Extended Resource Room (ERR) at my local middle school. Our teacher has a different white board question each day for both students and staff to answer, and this last week we had "Whatcha Watchin' Wednesday -- Who Is Your Favorite TH-camr?". I chose Better Watch TV. After explaining what your channel videos cover, not only did our other para tell me she would check out your channel, but one of my students asked me to write it down because he told his mom and she is a huge BB fan! Just doing my part to help spread the word 🤣 (I tried to attach a picture of the white board, but I guess that's not an option)
Wow, that is so incredibly awesome! Thank you so much for doing that! Yeah, I wish TH-cam made it easy to share photos. I believe a feature like that is coming soon. If you want, you could email it to betterwatchtv@gmail.com and maybe I’ll include it in the next video if that’s okay!
I like how you include the ending songs, such as "Black" in this episode, and others like "Catch yer own Train" and "Waitin' around to die" Most of the songs used in breaking bad are PERFECTLY added and have become most of my favorite songs of all time! Keep up the great quality and great work on these videos, you're the ONLY tv show commentator i can stand 😂
Oh wow, thank you for the huge compliment! Yeah, I continue to be amazed by the eclectic mix of sometimes-obscure songs that are perfect for the moments in the show!
i've been waiting all day long for this, it was about time!! Your videos are addictive and i need moooore!
Thanks, Renato! I aim to produce the purest, most chemically-sound product on the market anywhere.
I really wish it had ended here, not only because I love Walter and didn't want him to die, but also because it felt a bit like the nazis came out of nowhere, but I guess when the big fish dies another takes it place
I’m with you on not being super into the whole Uncle Jack’s gang thing, although I do love so much of S5 with the Hank dynamic and so many of the later episodes!
Oooh... I've been waiting for this 😊
Me too! 💥
Awesome seeing you come so far to this point! Always love seeing your videos as a Sunday treat, that being said, can't wait for S5!! ❤❤
Thanks for being along for the ride!!
Great Channel! I randomly stubbled across it and watched nearly every episode in 2 days.
That's awesome... thank you! Your actions help more people to discover it as well!
if i could i would have joined 6 months ago, i love the quality of videos and im impressed how you can keep outdoing yourself every week. I've been watching since around s2, kudos
I thank you for your support in watching, commenting, and hopefully liking and subscribing! Those truly help the channel grow! 🙏
i literally just binged this entire playlist in 2 days and the next day THIS DROPS and i have cookies and milk rn god is on my side today
Nice!!! Chocolate chip cookies?
56 facts and 20 minutes long. Every minute of this series is a gift
🙏🙏🙏 Thank you!
There should be a counter for every time Walters says “Gus”.
Haha, I guess I’m a bit late for that!
I've been enjoying watching these alongside my current rewatch, but I just overtook you, so now I'll be waiting for your new videos every week 😅 love the videos!
Nice! It was bound to happen, as it's hard to only watch one a week! Thanks!!
Heck yea! I was waiting for this one!!!
Me too! 🛎️🛎️🛎️💥
We come such a long way from season one. I hope you make season five count before the end. 🤧
I'm going to try!
I think the scene of Hank ignoring his family's pleas to put his own well-being over his duty as a DEA agent is foreshadowing his eventual death.
Also, I find it weird that Hector does not have access to a spanish-speaking nurse. One would think that his family - prior to their untimely end - would have ensured he'd have access to that.
Ooo, interesting point about Hank! And great point about Hector… I’m guessing it was just for the audience’s benefit!
@@betterwatchtv Yes, that's probably right. Although a nurse spelling the alphabet in spanish, together with the visual aid, would still have been understandable to the audience I recon.
the moment we have ALL been waiting for
🛎️🛎️🛎️💥
14:20 The destruction of the meth lab is easily one of my favorite scenes in the series. The music gives you a sense of urgency, while the scene delivers one of the last blows to Gus's Empire. Chills.
Absolutely! Such a great song... It's amazing that there are three of them, and all three enhance their scenes so much!
@@betterwatchtv Bravo, Vince!
I mean, what else can you expect from the co-writer of Fallacies?
