What an eloquent counterargument. You convinced me with your points and I see the light now. Men provide, women raise the children. And god above all... Back to my cave then.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Don't care much for the content of the speech in everyday use, I meant for the scene, the situation, and Walter, it's perfect. Men and women can provide. This is not the place for that discussion 😊
Of course it is. Because Walt buys into that outdated idea of what constitutes a man. This is what triggers all his actions. The idea that Skyler and his family need to be taken care of financially before he dies. But why is that his job alone? He never even considers that Skyler can provide for the family just as well as he, if circumstances demand it.
Another thing to consider is the theme of manhood. Walt was clearly emasculated by Skylers infidelity and then Jesse goes out and steals his formula to cook on his own. That's gotta bring to mind how Grey Matter stole his ideas and made millions. Gus read Walter like a book with his "A Man Provides" speech.
Do you think the colour of his socks has some meaning as well? Or perhaps the way he holds his fork and then puts it down is an omen to the dark future that lies ahead of him!
I think you guys have to keep in mind that from Skylar's perspective, hell even Walt's perspective there's no threat of dying or being aware of axe murdering twins. The audience is the only one aware of that, so for Skylar, "It's not, tell my son my dad's a drug dealer, or let him die," it's "Let me protect my son from finding out what his dad, Walt's Jr. "hero" really is and does." If Skylar had any inclination that her family would be in direct danger, I think she would've have told Walt Jr. and gone to the cops waaaaay sooner. Anyways, just wanted to put my 2 cents on it,
thank you!!!! pretty sure we are all aware of how dangerous the drug world is... we've all seen the news and even other TV shows. they may not know exactly how much danger they are potentially in but there's gotta be an assumption that living with a meth cook is not a safe thing. and we know she looked it up online so I'm going to assume she's aware of the potential dangers. -S
And knowing this, Skylar has no excuse for her behaviors. Walt is no longer cooking. Its over. She has no idea about the danger. Its done and over with as far as walt and Skylar are aware. Yet she cheats with her boss! A known criminal. Who is currently committing the crime. Implicating Skylar. And refuses to stop. Yet Skylar is fine with that behavior. She is doing all this, not because she is so wholesome. She is doing it because Walt lied to her. She isnt even all that concerned with Jrs feelings. Look how she used him and his feelings to guilt Walt into taking treatment. If she was so concerned, she would have supported Walts decision to not fight cancer, and would have help Jr work through his feelings.
@@wordswritteninred7171 Did you watch the show? The blowback for saying something was far worse for Skylar and Hank. Listen to Saul’s speech. LOL she guilted him into treatment?? She wanted him to go because she loves him and doesn’t want any risk of him dying!
Notes from podcast: Guests: Moira Walley-Beckett [episode writer] Betsy Brandt [Marie] Skip Macdonald [episode editor] 1. This is the first time we’ve flashed back to the pilot. They had to cut things pretty heavily to make the footage they had flow for the way it was written here. 2. The strip club scene was the hardest to get past standards & practices in BB. They auditioned the dancers by having them give lapdances to Moira & another woman. Aaron Paul couldn’t remember his lines in the scene 😄 3. Walt feels like his marriage is over & his pride has taken a hit from Jesse cooking, so he’s going full steam ahead. Vince reiterates he’s on Skyler’s side. 4. Hank & Marie having issues - they’re so in love that it’s hard to watch, but for the characters it’s probably normal. Marie likes & feels comfortable with Hank being a man of few words. What’s different here is _she_ doesn’t know what to say. How do you argue with someone who agrees with you? And he’s both defensive and a raw nerve. But some part of him knows she knows how he’s feeling. Though he’s gregarious, Dean is a very sensitive actor. They’re both emotionally naked. They love the “catch the bad guy?” line, which seems like a throwaway, but “it’s so not about anything, yet it’s about everything.” 5. Más - 3x01, his answer to Gus was No Más, but now it’s Más. 6. Superlab! That wasn’t a found location, it’s an amazing set they built.
Jessica Jusr want to say that the strippers having to audition is hilarious. (but makes perfect sense) the idea of renting out entire locations for filming is fascinating to me, and I love the inside look into the process of putting a show like this together. My enjoyment stretches beyond the story. I like to know how it comes to being. Upon first viewing, it’s not easy to see things from Skyler’s point of view. As I rewatch the show, it’s easier to sympathize with the things she says and does. She doesn’t deserve so much hate.
Hank is really interested in the Heisenberg case, but the reason he is even more interested in it in these last two episodes is because he is also scared to go to El Paso, and because he keeps standing up El Paso, his career and competence is in question with his bosses, and that's why he is working so hard on the Heisenberg case; it's because he realizes his career is in jeopardy in many ways so he must do good work on this case to show his bosses that he is still a good agent and can be successful despite being wishy washy on El Paso.
I just said the same thing and I've watched the series many times, this is the first I've realized that the only reason Hank's chasing after the blue meth is because he's scared to go to El Paso. He should be, I would be. But from the beginning of the series he acts so macho, tough and confident.. I can't help put recall the poker game in season one "You gonna man up or p*** out?" He's all posturing, no balls to back it up.
@@cassandrafoster616 Yeah, and this also puts to bed the argument from a few people who try to say "suddenly turns into sherlock holmes" (such a hyperbole, btw, and juvenile bc Hank never shows himself to be anything except above average in his smarts, but he just works hard, and also holmes wouldn't have taken forever to find out it was Walt- these people just try to poke holes in the great show usually because they think the wire and sopranos or some other hbo show is better and they're jealous that BB is considered the best show above theirs) bc Hank is fighting for his career and has no choice but to solve this case in his eyes so he really has no choice the way he sees it but to do his best. Think lots of people have been in that situation with their boss or a teacher, where they are supposed to do something, but don't do it and then try to make up for it by doing great work in some "easier" area to keep up in good standing with the teacher or boss. It's like if your boss wanted you to do something, you didn't do it, but instead you did something else good to stay on their good side.. So it is bringing out the very best in him. Underlying that is that he and Marie also have ambitions to make it to Washington DC one day so Hank wants to be a hero for Marie and move them up in the world the way they see it. He was probably always fairly smart, but his posturing was his default personality and sort of hindered his detective skills since he was more of a superficial operator (the way he arrested Mr Archilea for marijuana) but in this conundrum with El Paso, he is fighting for his future and to prove he has what it takes, including to himself and Marie. So he is giving it everything he's got.
Breaking bad is like a drug in itself. I've watched breaking bad a hundred times. I started watching it again after these two started. My mom was like okay were gonna have to turn it off I can't sleep lol
Skyler wants a divorce. Walt finally signs the divorce papers. Skyler in shock and disbelief even when she gets what she wants. But I feel sad for combo's mom. Sad scene telling hank about her son.
Yes because Walter had previously refused to give her a divorce. Also, this was the first time she had really started to think through it, and lower her flames of rage, and then he leaves. It's really good writing is what it is.
@@Paul94096 hypocritical POC Skyler started to want Walter's money (even her lawyer called her out on it), and sleeping with her criminal boss became boring, so of course she was shocked after that bag full of money was gone and she only got her signed divorce papers)
I love the framing in the dinner scene between Walt and his family. The camera places a pillar between Walt and Skyler, which represents the growing rift between them that has become a figurative wall. The camera also tends to place Walt Jr. with his father because he's always there to defend him. It's such a clever way to shoot the scene.
More people need to start remembering BB for its amazing time lapses and cinematography. Everyone keeps talking about how BCS frames a scene, even though BB has been doing creative camera angles first.
one thing I haven't seen anyone else comment on about Walt and "his formula", keep in mind Walt has residual anger issues about Gretchen and Elliot "stealing" his work from years ago. The idea of Jesse using "his formula" and cooking without him, really sets him off.
I absolutely *love* the music that plays when Walt gets introduced to the super lab. The euphoric melody and humming like he is walking through the Garden of Eden, the child-like wonder as if he's a kid exploring a candy store... the music choices and direction in this show is just perfect.
Also just a comment, I love the way you edit the video. The way you can stretch the video out with commentary and pauses from the video box. Definitely some of the best editing for reactions out there. Double thumbs up 👍👍
The music they play when Walt sees the super lab is perfect. It's like a Dorothy in Oz moment when everything goes from black and white to Technicolor.
After watching all of BCS with you and watching this again, I’m like “OMFG, Howard and Lalo are down there” Gus just walks around so casually where he knows two bodies are buried forever entombed in concrete.
Did you notice the color of Saul's tie? It's extremely important you focus on his ties and take notes on the color, design and if possible the designer of the tie.
Guys, I NEED to ask this, I've wanted to ask, since GoT: do you ever just want to say screw this, and bingewatch five episodes, and just like... go change clothes, so it looks like it's different days, or you know? 😁 Perhaps a silly question, but with an ending like this I would just ... !!! Next!
Elisabeth Larsen maybe, but I don’t think this is the case. They film at night because they said their daughters are asleep. And if they watch 5 episodes, it would be extremely late. Also, Steven and Nikki have a normal job in the morning too so that’s probably not the case with them
Walt and Jesse made 1.2mill working 4 days in the desert making 96ish lbs of meth. Gus has Walt on lockdown for 3 months and has him making 200 lbs a batch..... xD Walt is getting RIPPED on this deal lol
Great discussion in the beginning! I love how you see different perspectives of each character and are honest on why you feel the way you feel about their actions. There are so many layers of gray in this show so it’s so awesome that you guys acknowledge all of that. Well done! Can’t wait for more 🥂🧿🧿🚌🖊
Did you guys pay attention to cinematography during that dinner scene? It was basically representing Walt being outcasted from his family, was hoping you guys would mention it lol. Think you guys were caught in the fact of how cute Walt’s baby is haha! Sometimes Breaking Bad tells its story in much more subtle ways rather than a piece of dialogue to explain it to the audience
My grandparents had heated floors in their vacation home. Yeah its a waste of energy, but its the best way to take a shower! Loved the reaction as always.
Note the framing of the shot when Walt gets to hold Holly, shot from outside with the sliding door frame creating a barrier between Walt and Skyler! So good.
I don't know how you guys can watch these so far apart. Most people I know binge watch the entire show inside a week. Actor Anthony Hopkins famously binged the entire show once he discovered it. My own sister binged it in three days.
@@OG_Fernando Why shaking your head? Nothing wrong with not having to wait. Wait a minute, are you one of those, "When I was young we had to wait two years in between episodes! We didn't have color either! You kids today are spoiled!"
@@OG_Fernando Interesting. I'm the opposite. It's easier for me to keep the flow of the narrative in memory when watched consecutively. Long waits make me forget things, even with recaps.
@@HobiesGarageBBQ I'm also more incline to get distracted by my phone, etc. while binge watching a show. Yet if I had to wait all week for a single episode...the chances I pick up my phone are 0 to none.
I am really having a ball watching for the first time along with you. Since I am in Georgia, I always watch that day's episode in the morning and then catch your reaction at lunch time. Three a week is a really good pace for me, too. Keep up the great work on this great show.
@@adamromero lol... Nikki asked for them at the end of the video. Well, she asked for the 2 stars to represent the stripper pasties, I added the boobs for flair. 😉
Your next shirt definitely needs to be a BrBa shirt, and it should say “Dude, their time lapses are so awesommmmmme.” Because I laugh every time you say it in every episode, Steven. 🤣
I like the 180's we had in the past couple episodes: - One minute, Gus says "you can't trust junkies" and the next minute he says "Do the deal" with Jesse. - One minute, Walt is praising Jesse in his car, and the next he's telling him he's embarrassed by Jesse's product - After repeatedly saying he's gonna take the Albuquerque job, Hank finally says he won't - After telling Gus several times that he's done cooking meth, Walt decides to start cooking again - After telling Skyler he will never sign the divorce papers, Walt signs them.
17:35 This scene is so well shot. The pillar in between them shows Jr being on his mum's side before going to his dad's, and shows the separation of the two.
Right after Marie said that to Skyler, Skyler went to sleep with Ted. Hypocritical POC Skyler started to want Walter's money and sleeping with her criminal boss became boring)
Nikki and Steven, there is a wiki fandom site that has every single breaking bad episode title meaning. Just type in “breaking bad episode meanings” and it’s all right there 👍
Nikki & Steven React oh no problem... but on the site it doesn’t show any spoilers unless you scroll down to the episode you haven’t seen. I’m currently on season 4 and haven’t had anything spoiled on that site. Only tells you things that have happened in the episode. But if you want to be extra safe that’s fine 👌
When the sister was talking about facing death changing a person, Skylar suddenly realized facing death in the form of cancer had dramatically changed Walter.
Right after Marie said that to Skyler, Skyler went to sleep with Ted. Hypocritical POC Skyler started to want Walter's money and sleeping with her criminal boss became boring)
But the main reason Skyler stepped out on the relationship is because Walt refused to respect her decision. So she really did it to sh** the bed so he'd leave it. That's at least somewhat justifiable.
I got to say, I like Stevens attempt at an epic eye roll...but Nikki takes the cake with that hilarious use of "Yo!", yo. You guys are fun. Thanks for the joy I get from rewatching these with you guys.
@@bettygreenhansen There are 5 seasons... You might be confused because of the mid-season finale. Few people call it season 5A and 5B, but Vince Gilligan and everyone else just say season 5.
You guys understand and notice so many things as you watch. It will be hard to watch any other reaction channels of people who don't notice a majority of things lol.
I'm at a time of the year where I'm catching up on lots of movies I've missed through NF and rentals....I've watched some popular films of the last couple of years as well as some older ones from the 60s and 70s....and while they have their share of merits and qualities, I can't help but think of how unfulfilling they are compared to a masterpiece like Breaking Bad....Usually, I'll analyze the movie I just watched a little, discuss it, but then before I go to bed, I turn Breaking Bad on again just to get back to the truly great stuff. Story is really important to filmmaking, and many films these days have great cinematography (so does Breaking Bad), but are lacking in any depth or moral that lasts with you after you watch it.
@Drake Lang - Thanks for the recommendation. Ill queue that one.... I saw Black Panther, Roma, Blade Runner, "It" and a few others....Most are well-made productions, but they don't have any "classic" quality that would stick with and make you want to watch it again.
@@ghenry4513 IMO BB employed the TAS ingredients that aren't used enough. Tension, Anticipation and Suspense. Many stories don't call for a lot of it, and that's okay too. But unfortunately some series and movies *could* use it and there are places to build it, but for some reason TAS isn't used. With BB it's like Vince said, "I'm going to OD my viewers on TAS."
Gus stopped/delayed/paused the Green Light on Walt, otherwise Tuco's cousins would have already slaughtered him. Walt working for Gus is probably the only thing keeping him alive at this point, the question is "Will Tuco's cousins go off the leash and violate Gus's authority?"... Shylar has second thoughts just in time to find Walt has left the house and their marriage. That's timing for you.
There was a scene in season 2, where Jesse goes back and pays what he owes to the guy, and then pays the guy to keep his RV there. It is also where he bought his current POS car.
@@ayylmao1658 If you pretty much make it live as soon as it's done uploading, yes. YT Takes time to process the different qualities. If you get ahead and have it uploaded early and scheduled to go live at a certain time, all the qualities will be there when it goes live.
Idk if you guys see comments on videos this old, but I would highly recommend you react to the show The Shield. That's where I learned the term green light. You think this show is crazy lol. It's also inspired by real events. But I'm loving watching y'all's journey through this! Can't wait to check out what you've got going on now.
*bubbly champagne flute, ☆☆ , R.V., pen* "It's better than dying!" lol I agree! BTW...I like your interpretation of "Greenlight" better than mine. Gus just challenged, then turned around & stroked Walt's ego. Great reaction! 28:53 Nikki so funny. :-) ♡
This episode made it clear to me that Walt is completely aware of his ego but still has absolutely no control it. rather it controls him and he's along for the ride. Made the rest of the series more interesting imo.
In episode 0205 "Breakage," Jesse returned to Clovis to pay for the storage balance and for damages (to the gate and porta potty) because "his word was his bond". He then negotiated an indefinite RV storage at the salvage yard for $500 a week (and bought that station wagon and moved next door to Jessica Jones, yada yada yada). 🥂✭✭🚌🖊️
🍾💫💫🚙 I hardly ever get mad at Jesse cause like Steve said he's always getting shitted on. The only thing that has gone right for him is when he got his house back and yes the rv is back at the pound. He paid the guy off and said " I told you I was good for it." Lol sorry I have it memorized. I don't think skyler was planning on spending the money I think it made her realize that maybe walt cooking isn't such a bad thing especially when you see the actual cash infront of you. With the Ted situation I'm not condoning it but think of it this way: you don't want to sleep with your husband and he refuses too divorce you or leave the house and all your doing is arguing 99% of the time you also I'd imagine get sexually frustrated. And how they were able to get hank to find out about the RV makes my mind blown. Every single scene almost has a significant meaning. It's not just a filler or at least for me anyway.
Also important is the scene in which Hank is speaking with Condom's mom. Did you notice the home address on 1915??? If you add the 1+9 you get 10. Now flip the 15 and you'll have 51. 1051 @ 1+0 = 1 (5 x 1 = 5) = 50,000 subscribers

The "a man provides" speech Gus gives Walter in the lab is so, so good, I think. Brilliant acting!
And it is also a form of toxic masculinity. "A man provides", what a load of outdated horseshit.

Yeah it's Gus that's playing Walt here.
Daffy how the hell did Gus know about Walt’s whole provider ego
@@hunterlee3353 The fact that Walt was willing to do something highly illegal just to provide for his family was enough evidence, I think.

That's gotta bring to mind how Grey Matter stole his ideas and made millions. Gus read Walter like a book with his "A Man Provides" speech.
17:36 I love this metaphoric shot that Walt is separated from the rest of his family by window frame.

The music they play when Walt sees the super lab is perfect. It's like a Dorothy in Oz moment when everything goes from black and white to Technicolor.
OMG Nikki and I said the same thing at the same time... HE JUST GOT THAT WINDOW FIXED!
After watching all of BCS with you and watching this again, I’m like “OMFG, Howard and Lalo are down there” Gus just walks around so casually where he knows two bodies are buried forever entombed in concrete.
Did you notice the color of Saul's tie? It's extremely important you focus on his ties and take notes on the color, design and if possible the designer of the tie.
Guys, I NEED to ask this, I've wanted to ask, since GoT: do you ever just want to say screw this, and bingewatch five episodes, and just like... go change clothes, so it looks like it's different days, or you know? 😁 Perhaps a silly question, but with an ending like this I would just ... !!! Next!
Elisabeth Larsen maybe, but I don’t think this is the case. They film at night because they said their daughters are asleep. And if they watch 5 episodes, it would be extremely late. Also, Steven and Nikki have a normal job in the morning too so that’s probably not the case with them
@@kermitthefrog4362 Aaah, yes, of course, thank you for pointing that out! ❤️
Elisabeth Larsen but maybe the weekends...
@@Fbitypeshit hahaha are you serious?
@@Fbitypeshit I brought up GoT because I have been wanting to ask the question since they reacted to that show, all the way up until now 😊
49,918 at the time of me writing this....you guys better get ready to celebrate the 50K Stikker mark! Big accomplishment.
thanks James!!! we will be doing a live stream to celebrate this weekend
Walt and Jesse made 1.2mill working 4 days in the desert making 96ish lbs of meth. Gus has Walt on lockdown for 3 months and has him making 200 lbs a batch..... xD Walt is getting RIPPED on this deal lol
Yes, but in theory Gus also provides a risk-free work enviroment.
In theory. In practice he's using Walt and didcarding him.
Stevens eye roll had me dying laughing 😂😂
29:19 - Nikki cracked herself up!
Great discussion in the beginning! I love how you see different perspectives of each character and are honest on why you feel the way you feel about their actions. There are so many layers of gray in this show so it’s so awesome that you guys acknowledge all of that. Well done! Can’t wait for more 🥂🧿🧿🚌🖊
Did you guys pay attention to cinematography during that dinner scene? It was basically representing Walt being outcasted from his family, was hoping you guys would mention it lol. Think you guys were caught in the fact of how cute Walt’s baby is haha! Sometimes Breaking Bad tells its story in much more subtle ways rather than a piece of dialogue to explain it to the audience
"Your killing me smalls"
🍾🌟🌟🚎🖊 don't have a flute, but Jesse ordered a bottle so there we go. Another great reaction yo! Church.
My grandparents had heated floors in their vacation home. Yeah its a waste of energy, but its the best way to take a shower! Loved the reaction as always.
Walter's poor windshield - always catching hell. 🥂⭐⭐🚍🖊
Had surgery a few days ago! Watching you guys, makes it all feel better😊😊😊
glad we can provide you with some relief... hope everything went well.
Pretty sure there hasnt been a single timelapse where steven didnt mention how awesome their timelapses are lol
i'm a sucker for beautiful cinematography.
I love it when I’ve totally forgotten what happens in an episode and get to experience it again with y’all! 🥂🌟🌟🚐🖊
21:28 Skyler can't say she wasn't warned what her family had coming to it if she didn't get out when she had the chance.
Note the framing of the shot when Walt gets to hold Holly, shot from outside with the sliding door frame creating a barrier between Walt and Skyler! So good.
The RV is at Clovis garage
I don't know how you guys can watch these so far apart. Most people I know binge watch the entire show inside a week. Actor Anthony Hopkins famously binged the entire show once he discovered it. My own sister binged it in three days.
While some of us waited a full week to watch a single episode...How times have changed...smh.
@@OG_Fernando Why shaking your head? Nothing wrong with not having to wait. Wait a minute, are you one of those, "When I was young we had to wait two years in between episodes! We didn't have color either! You kids today are spoiled!"
@@HobiesGarageBBQ I was being sarcastic in a truthful sort of way. In my personal experiences, I capture less information when binge watching a show.
@@OG_Fernando Interesting. I'm the opposite. It's easier for me to keep the flow of the narrative in memory when watched consecutively. Long waits make me forget things, even with recaps.
@@HobiesGarageBBQ I'm also more incline to get distracted by my phone, etc. while binge watching a show. Yet if I had to wait all week for a single episode...the chances I pick up my phone are 0 to none.
I am really having a ball watching for the first time along with you. Since I am in Georgia, I always watch that day's episode in the morning and then catch your reaction at lunch time. Three a week is a really good pace for me, too. Keep up the great work on this great show.
I laughed at Nikki's look of awe when she seen the super lab, lol.🖋 (⭐Y⭐) 🚙
are those boobs with stars on em?
@@adamromero lol... Nikki asked for them at the end of the video. Well, she asked for the 2 stars to represent the stripper pasties, I added the boobs for flair. 😉
@@george8873 oh ok, thats what I get for reading comments first.
well done George, well done!!!!
@@NikkiStevenReact Thank you, thank you very much. 😀
🥂⭐️⭐️🚐🖋
Nikki: ooo, a secret hideaway.
Steven: what is this going to be, some sort of super meth lab?
Me: yes, yes it is
Nice cameo from Howard and Lalo in the lab 👌👌
Your next shirt definitely needs to be a BrBa shirt, and it should say “Dude, their time lapses are so awesommmmmme.” Because I laugh every time you say it in every episode, Steven. 🤣
Yeah, Walt is smart, he has a f**king Noble Prize
I like the 180's we had in the past couple episodes:
- One minute, Gus says "you can't trust junkies" and the next minute he says "Do the deal" with Jesse.
- One minute, Walt is praising Jesse in his car, and the next he's telling him he's embarrassed by Jesse's product
- After repeatedly saying he's gonna take the Albuquerque job, Hank finally says he won't
- After telling Gus several times that he's done cooking meth, Walt decides to start cooking again
- After telling Skyler he will never sign the divorce papers, Walt signs them.
seriously... how are we supposed to keep all these story lines in order? Ha!!!! - S
17:35
This scene is so well shot. The pillar in between them shows Jr being on his mum's side before going to his dad's, and shows the separation of the two.
I’ve watched BB at least 15 times and still love the show so much and I check TH-cam every day to see if you guys post these reactions! Love em
The lab scene hits different now knowing Lalo and Howard is there 😱
Marie’s comment about facing death changing someone was the reason skylar’s opinion softened thinking about Walt
Right after Marie said that to Skyler, Skyler went to sleep with Ted. Hypocritical POC Skyler started to want Walter's money and sleeping with her criminal boss became boring)
“Look at Gus with that motivational speech.”
Lol what? That was a threat.
Threats can be a means for motivation
i personally got zero indication that Gus was threatening him. -S
Nikki & Steven React
That’s fine Steve. Wasn’t jabbing at you brother.
But leave my boy Jesse alone!! Lol
all good... didn't get the vibe you were jabbing at me. I would love to see Jesse success at live but he's struggling right now.
Hank the peeping Tom hahaha
29:52 "definitely don't want to write that on anything" ironic given how Hank figures it out
Nikki and Steven, there is a wiki fandom site that has every single breaking bad episode title meaning. Just type in “breaking bad episode meanings” and it’s all right there 👍
i think we will save this till we are all caught up just to avoid any possible spoilers but thank you... this seems awesome!!!!
Nikki & Steven React oh no problem... but on the site it doesn’t show any spoilers unless you scroll down to the episode you haven’t seen. I’m currently on season 4 and haven’t had anything spoiled on that site. Only tells you things that have happened in the episode. But if you want to be extra safe that’s fine 👌
When the sister was talking about facing death changing a person, Skylar suddenly realized facing death in the form of cancer had dramatically changed Walter.
Right after Marie said that to Skyler, Skyler went to sleep with Ted. Hypocritical POC Skyler started to want Walter's money and sleeping with her criminal boss became boring)
Doakes was definitely suspicious of Dexter all along, but he was the only one and Dexter ended up being able to use it against him eventually.
🥂⭐️⭐️🚃🖊 Love the opening to this episode. Looks like they had an epic night out. R.I.P Combo
Congrats on the 50k subscribers. Much love from Toronto Canada! Love watching your reaction videos :)
"There's only one solution..."
I agree. They _have_ to kiss.
🍸🌟🌟🚐✒ Nikki is wearing purple, that's Marie's favorite color...
I like how he low key called people who would let Jane die savage 😂
But the main reason Skyler stepped out on the relationship is because Walt refused to respect her decision. So she really did it to sh** the bed so he'd leave it. That's at least somewhat justifiable.
But as soon as Walter left and signed divorce papers she didn't turn in divorce papers and munipulated Walter to come back to the family
Skyler is a selfish idiot
WHEN HANK FOUND THE PIC OF JESSE AND COMBO I SAID AUDIBLY “jesse fucking pinkman” RIGHT BEFORE STEVEN SAID THE SAME THING 😂😂
congrats on hitting 50,000 subscribers 🎉 🎉 🎉
Congrats on reaching 50k subscribers!
I got to say, I like Stevens attempt at an epic eye roll...but Nikki takes the cake with that hilarious use of "Yo!", yo. You guys are fun. Thanks for the joy I get from rewatching these with you guys.
Seing BB after a long time... must say it's fantastic on so many levels.
The only problem with these videos is there isn't 3 per day! Great work, I'm caught up!
whoa!!!! i almost passed out at the thought of 3 a day
Nikki & Steven React I’m already up to BrBa S6E2-again, for the ???th time!!!
Awesome show.
Love your reactions.
❤️💜❤️
@@bettygreenhansen There are 5 seasons...
You might be confused because of the mid-season finale. Few people call it season 5A and 5B, but Vince Gilligan and everyone else just say season 5.
Yeah, 50,000 and growing. You guys are pleasing the people on a grand scale.
Congrats on 50K Yo!!!
Yayyy congratulations on 50K. :)
Congratulations on 50k subscribers!! 😁
You guys understand and notice so many things as you watch. It will be hard to watch any other reaction channels of people who don't notice a majority of things lol.
Yeah normally nicky rolls with her eyes when steven says YO but this time she said YO 😂
I'm at a time of the year where I'm catching up on lots of movies I've missed through NF and rentals....I've watched some popular films of the last couple of years as well as some older ones from the 60s and 70s....and while they have their share of merits and qualities, I can't help but think of how unfulfilling they are compared to a masterpiece like Breaking Bad....Usually, I'll analyze the movie I just watched a little, discuss it, but then before I go to bed, I turn Breaking Bad on again just to get back to the truly great stuff. Story is really important to filmmaking, and many films these days have great cinematography (so does Breaking Bad), but are lacking in any depth or moral that lasts with you after you watch it.
@Drake Lang - Thanks for the recommendation. Ill queue that one....
I saw Black Panther, Roma, Blade Runner, "It" and a few others....Most are well-made productions, but they don't have any "classic" quality that would stick with and make you want to watch it again.
@@ghenry4513 IMO BB employed the TAS ingredients that aren't used enough. Tension, Anticipation and Suspense. Many stories don't call for a lot of it, and that's okay too. But unfortunately some series and movies *could* use it and there are places to build it, but for some reason TAS isn't used.
With BB it's like Vince said, "I'm going to OD my viewers on TAS."
16th variation of “awesome or dope” time lapses!! 😂
Gus stopped/delayed/paused the Green Light on Walt, otherwise Tuco's cousins would have already slaughtered him. Walt working for Gus is probably the only thing keeping him alive at this point, the question is "Will Tuco's cousins go off the leash and violate Gus's authority?"... Shylar has second thoughts just in time to find Walt has left the house and their marriage. That's timing for you.
just wanted to say, thanks for the frequency of the BB uploads.
you're battering through this at a fair lick & i for one, am very enjoy, yo. 😎👊
23:00 that's the reason Sal got his own show :D
The RV is at that junkyard right? If I remember correctly. Where he fell through the port a potty
There was a scene in season 2, where Jesse goes back and pays what he owes to the guy, and then pays the guy to keep his RV there. It is also where he bought his current POS car.
"Dopest dope I ever smoked!" 😂
Saturday will be a good one
I love Dexter
360p Squad!
damn you beat me
im here tho lol.
This is the first time I’ve been so early, is it always like this?
@@ayylmao1658 youtube takes a while to process
@@ayylmao1658 If you pretty much make it live as soon as it's done uploading, yes. YT Takes time to process the different qualities. If you get ahead and have it uploaded early and scheduled to go live at a certain time, all the qualities will be there when it goes live.
Idk if you guys see comments on videos this old, but I would highly recommend you react to the show The Shield. That's where I learned the term green light. You think this show is crazy lol. It's also inspired by real events. But I'm loving watching y'all's journey through this! Can't wait to check out what you've got going on now.
That intro was creative as hell. Love it.
Guys, I’m pretty sure Jesse bought his parents house, not his aunt’s house that he used to live in.🥂⭐️⭐️🚌🖊
Well with "Green light" I think it means how Gus gave the Green Light to make the deal with Jessie.
I wondered why they called him "Combo" pretty cool it was named after some pretzel snacks that I love also.
Please react to Outlander.Iits gooood.
*bubbly champagne flute, ☆☆ , R.V., pen*
"It's better than dying!" lol I agree!
BTW...I like your interpretation of "Greenlight" better than mine.
Gus just challenged, then turned around & stroked Walt's ego.
Great reaction! 28:53 Nikki so funny. :-) ♡
This episode made it clear to me that Walt is completely aware of his ego but still has absolutely no control it. rather it controls him and he's along for the ride. Made the rest of the series more interesting imo.
Walts PRIDE is not just a recurring character, it's a MAIN character.
I woke up this morning and thought, "Why the 'Stikkers'?" Shouldn't it be 'Stikki', or as I'd like to say it, the 'Dostikki'?
The next episode is amazing.
Green Light just means you've got the ok to do something.
18:20 "Death changes a person." I think Skyler just realized that.
Am I the only one who saw the giant machine move in the laundry and think of Lex Luthor in his underground lair?
In episode 0205 "Breakage," Jesse returned to Clovis to pay for the storage balance and for damages (to the gate and porta potty) because "his word was his bond". He then negotiated an indefinite RV storage at the salvage yard for $500 a week (and bought that station wagon and moved next door to Jessica Jones, yada yada yada). 🥂✭✭🚌🖊️
🍾💫💫🚙 I hardly ever get mad at Jesse cause like Steve said he's always getting shitted on. The only thing that has gone right for him is when he got his house back and yes the rv is back at the pound. He paid the guy off and said " I told you I was good for it." Lol sorry I have it memorized.
I don't think skyler was planning on spending the money I think it made her realize that maybe walt cooking isn't such a bad thing especially when you see the actual cash infront of you.
With the Ted situation I'm not condoning it but think of it this way: you don't want to sleep with your husband and he refuses too divorce you or leave the house and all your doing is arguing 99% of the time you also I'd imagine get sexually frustrated.
And how they were able to get hank to find out about the RV makes my mind blown. Every single scene almost has a significant meaning. It's not just a filler or at least for me anyway.
@gary jones shows gives you a way out for awhile from the drama lol
Have you guys watched The Wire? I think you would like it.
Is this Drake???
we have not seen it yet!!
@@NikkiStevenReact I really think you will like it. The writing is next to none.
Also important is the scene in which Hank is speaking with Condom's mom. Did you notice the home address on 1915??? If you add the 1+9 you get 10. Now flip the 15 and you'll have 51.
1051 @ 1+0 = 1 (5 x 1 = 5) = 50,000 subscribers
Dean Norris did an excellent job of portraying Hank ... I really never liked him due to the roles he had before but I think he nailed Hank perfectly
Walt and Skyler don't know about the twins & how much danger they're in, so that is not a factor in their decisions so far.
