@The Horny Vegan's Little Brother for real though, it’s regulated and completely legal! I have a feeling Walter could still get pretty cutthroat as a businessman. I would watch that.
@The Horny Vegan's Little Brother I’m glad to finally meet someone who has also thought this idea out far enough. I do feel that this would be Walters biggest roadblock to freedom. He would have to make an extremely compelling case in order to win Gus’s approval. He would additionally have to ensure that the new cooks would be able to carry out the blue sky recipe to a tee. Remember this isn’t primarily about money for Gus, its about revenge. So Gus is highly motivated to fulfill his plot against Don Eladio. He would either give Walter carte blanche to start his coffee business, or use that as a reward for Walt if he finishes his work as a meth cook. So, here’s a question- do you think Walt would make coffee under the Los Pollos Hermanos brand, or would He set off on a completely new business venture with Gale?
Actor David Costabile seems to be the kind of guy who's not far from the character he plays in BB, I don't think he'd have much trouble learning that song!
I think you missed the point, gale was walt and jessies replacement, if had gale learned what walt had to teach then fring would have no reason to keep walt or jessie alive. its not as petty as who the assistant is
@@asdfasdf3989 Haha yeah, freshman year too and it led me to becoming more well known/ popular lol. I always liked the elements since I was a kid and science generally, and although not as much now I still enjoy chemistry
@@iwatchwithnoads7480 gus killed Victor to make a point that no matter how loyal anyone is, even if they fall slightly out of line he will not hesitate in executing them (he tried to cook a batch by himself without permission (and also failing to save Gale))
Imagine the feeling going through walt’s head when they’re laughing at Gale. His innocence being exploited and how Walt was single handedly responsible for his demise. Putting Jesse through intense trauma
I haven't watched the show, but watched hella clips so I know what's going on. That expression on Walt's face shows guilt sure but I think he's also angry. At that point by what Hank is saying, Gale has been framed as Heisenberg and now the Heisenberg name is being laughed at. For someone as petty as Walt who's this far into this drug world bc of the feeling of power it gives him, I think him seeing it being ridiculed like that pissed him off more than anything.
David Costabile is such a terrific actor. He has incredible range. He can go from a flamboyant, comedic, eccentric guy to a serious/dark guy and sells it well.
You hate him for having a willing criminal meth cook killed? One who definitely knew Walt was going to be killed and that's why he was going to replace him? Okay sweetie.
He didnt need to die but Gus showed Walt his hand, made it pretty obvious that Gale was gonna use Walt's method. If Gus had been more careful and patient, they could have ambushed Walt when he least expected it.
@@jomarico1770 Gale said it best himself - he's a libertarian. Libertarians like him and me believe that if people want something, they'll find a way to get it. Either they can have a clean, safe product or a dirty product. No amount of laws will change this, the US government tried that with alcohol and people still drunk under prohibition. The US tried during the war on drugs, and people still smoke weed.
@@c.j.8263 I'm not a libertarian, but agree that prohibition is a laughable policy in reducing use. Don't think that's the goal at this point, though. Sorta like when they refer to corporate entities as "Too Big to Fail." the DEA alone is like that let alone everything else on the legitimate side of the drug trade.
I felt so called out with Gales scenes... singing "the elements" and random Italian songs, the meek geekiness, my fucking apartment looks just like his. Its nice to see that people like him and aren't just annoyed lmao 🙃
If only Walt had continued to work with Gale, he could've made huge amounts of money without the risk of getting caught, he could've given that money to his family and died peacefully
Like Mike said "if you’d known your place, we’d all be fine right now!" 😑 Walters enormous ego took away everything. Walt never gave his family security. He lost everything.
Yeah but stupid Jesse had to blew everything when he tried to kill the drug dealers that worked for Gus. It was only a 3 months cook and then everyone could live relatively very well with Walt having enough money for the family, Gus working peacefully on killing the salamancas, Saul continuing his lawyer stuff, and even Jesse could have enough money to start a new life.
As much of a loveable goof Gale is in Better call Saul and Breaking Bad, he was in a dirty, dirty business......he had it coming. You play with fire, you get burned.
@@xxczerxx he just doesn't see the "big deal" in *anything* BCS shows that he's been working on perfecting meth formula for Gus long before Walt came into play. *HE* wanted to be Gus's cook, cartel's supplier and he knew taking over would mean Walt's death
It wasn’t about loyalty imo. Walt was a narcissist, and Gale was his equal. He had an innate need to feel superior to those around him, and he just couldn’t do that with someone as educated and brilliant as Gale, whereas he easily could with Jesse.
@@themagpie_1 Well obviously that played a huge part in his decision to ultimately kill Gale. But I was referring to why, despite clearly having much more in common with Gale, Walt actually preferred working with Jesse.
@@themagpie_1 Gus wasn't originally going to kill Walt. He only wanted to do that after Walt started making trouble. Originally Walt was supposed to cook for Gus about 3 months or so, in which time Gale would have learned Walt's cooking and Walt would have made more than enough money for his family,
@@Acheron93 Gale definitely wasn't Walt's equal. Gale's meth only reached around 96%. He was in third place right behind Jesse who was at 96.3% at his best and Walt's normal purity of 99.1%.
I remember when I was watching the show first time, I waited him to be revealed as a "not so innocent after all" kind of character, you knoe that kind of twist. But no, it never happened.
His death made me audibly cry like it hit me really hard because he's just a really nice loveable goofball and one of the only fully likeable characters and seeing him be killed by someone else for a reason that wasnt Gales fault was really heartbreaking
Honestly I think that was the message that the series was trying to show how naive, idealistic, nonviolent people are ruthlessly killed because of the stakes of the business. If you listen to his little “there’s crime and then there’s *crime*” speech, he has (arguably) admirable aims in the drug business. The problem is the people in the drug business don’t share his morals, and are willing to step on anyone in their way. Like Walt said, “it’s either him or us”.
Walt had no plans on replacing Gale before Jesse threatened to expose him and vowed to make Hank's life miserable. Getting Jesse onboard was primarily a way to get him to drop those ideas. Walt also didn't seem to have any problem with just working for Gus, finishing their "contract" and not cause any trouble (to be 'submissive', if you will) before this happened. It's also doubtful that Gus had any plans on killing Walt before this. Things started to spiral out of control once Jesse took issue with Gus's dealers using kids (not that anyone can blame him for this, of course) and Walt chose to protect Jesse rather than remaining subservient to Gus.
3:07 that's a sound argument for a drug manufacturer to keep his conscience clean, but it does have one fatal flaw: consenting adults who get hooked on drugs are consenting adults no longer. Addiction eliminates consent. A person may engage in consumption of narcotics a time or two recreationally without getting hooked, sure, but once addiction sets in, they will eventually reach a point where they will do anything to get the next dose, be it theft, robbery or even murder, and that is when they become dangerous to people other than themselves. Narcotics are illegal for precisely that reason, and drug dealers, who capitalize on addiction, are therefore criminals with addicts themselves as their victims. No amount of libertarianism can change that.
The thing is, there's a third middle option, but it only exists when the product is legal such as with alcohol and cigarettes. Regulation. A product can be regulated where only certain people have incentive to buy them. Alcohol is famous for this - how many depictions have there been of an adult purchasing beer for kids? That can happen because alcohol is only semi-legal. When the government made alcohol illegal, it became unregulated just like drugs. Everyone of all ages could drink and become addicted, and there was little control over it.
i love re watching this show and seeing everywhere walt went wrong, so many golden opportunities but that wouldnt have been fun for him, he knew he was going to die soon and wanted to play the game before going, he was done with the clinical lifestyle and liked a bit of chaos, it made him feel alive when he feels like a dead man walking.
In an alternate universe, Gale went to become Gus's main cook. Walt and Jessie retired and lived happily without anybody knowing about their meth business.
That song at the start - our school chemistry teacher sang that as he played piano at his last day of school. He’d deliberately make a mistake just so he could say shit or fuck just to make us laugh and to annoy the headmaster. Bearing in mind, this was in 1990 and our school was very small, 300 pupils, and in the Scottish highlands where most teachers were very prudish, church types. Made me smile to hear this again!
Let's face it, Hank's big mistake was sharing way too much police business with Walt, allowing him access to his office and taking him on work-related errands. Ultimately, it just goes to show that you really don't know a person, even the one with whom you break bread!
this was even more shocking when hank's superior mentioned having dinner with gus and he brought seabass. he said that you dont know a person or something like that
I really think the character might be on the spectrum. Like, a genuine portrayal of someone with autism and a high IQ who’s put work in to socialize. It would explain the way his memory locks in songs, his awkwardness, the off kilter way he interacts with his co workers and friends (would go towards explaining why a guy that smart has found a job like this, a lot of underemployment in autistic adults comes down to not being able to work corporate drama). How genuinely excited he gets about the stuff he loves. And that his logic system has rationalized around the obvious morality of cooking meth is bad. If that’s what’s going on, it’s one of the best portrayal of someone in the spectrum I’ve seen
It's good writing to make the character they have to kill in order to survive as sympathetic as gale. Makes their moral suffering that much stronger than killing some random douche. It's important that we get to know gale, to realize his kind nature and adorable quirks for the murder to mean something. Otherwise you're like "duh, it's them or him, of course they chose themselves".
00:10 is one of the biggest shockers I ever had watching BCS and BB! Gus actually genuinely smiled! What the fuck guys lol is this the first and only time gus truly smile in the two series?
Walter initially felt guilty as he couldn’t bear to look at Gale being innocent and likable guy in the video. That feeling definitely changed. when Hank said Gale was Albuquerque’s public enemy number one. His stare definitely changed to that of resentment and contempt towards Gale triggered by his inflated ego. The subtle facial expression of this scene showcased the brilliance of Cranston’s acting.
pretty sure if Walter would've stopped being in contact with Jesse and he just gave his recipe to gus working with gale, Jesse would've been killed and gus would've finished the deal with Walter without killing him, cuz he is a man of word. but of course, it's a tv show it needed more action than that
Gale had such an endearing presence to him. I could never be mean to that guy, looks like he was such a good neighbour too. But then also... he willingly and quite happily worked for Gus. The type of guy you'd least expect to. Guess everyone has a dark side.
I actually found a copy of this Peter Shilling album on LP after I saw "Breaking Bad" the first time through, but totally without any of this Gale stuff in mind. It's a pretty cool song actually. Plays on classic FM or AM radio here and there.
anyone noticed how gale looks like walter in the finale? same fucked up hair, same unkempt beard, same jacket, and a really similar shirt. literally everything looks similar.
I was most sad about Gale when the props crew did a BTS and explained that the coffeemaker wasn’t a real thing. Otherwise I would’ve raided a lab supply store to make my own.
I always felt bad for Gale. Despite his being a narcotics manufacturer I always thought he was rational and likable. He didn't deserve what happened to him.
There was a certain nobility to him and his attitude that people were going to chase drugs regardless and at least he wasn't making poison. People would get what they paid for with him.
Check out the new Salamanca family intro: th-cam.com/video/xazJ2zN_roo/w-d-xo.html

It's kind of hard to fault Gale morally, given that meth is literally legally prescribed by psychiatrists as desoxyn.
The song Gale covers at 5:50 is a classic german song called "Peter Schilling - Major Tom"

Such a really nice guy, didn't deserved his demise
oh
didn't expect to see you here,
i agree he didn't deserve to die
at most maybe couple years in prison
Walter initially felt guilty as he couldn’t bear to look at Gale being innocent and likable guy in the video. That feeling definitely changed. when Hank said Gale was Albuquerque’s public enemy number one. His stare definitely changed to that of resentment and contempt towards Gale triggered by his inflated ego. The subtle facial expression of this scene showcased the brilliance of Cranston’s acting.
I really wanted to punch hank when he made fun of gale
“Yes. I am a nerd.” Always loved his delivery there.
pretty sure if Walter would've stopped being in contact with Jesse and he just gave his recipe to gus working with gale, Jesse would've been killed and gus would've finished the deal with Walter without killing him, cuz he is a man of word. but of course, it's a tv show it needed more action than that
I love to think that Gale lived longer than he did, the poor lad.
One of my favorite characters by far
4:08 my favorite part
Gale had such an endearing presence to him. I could never be mean to that guy, looks like he was such a good neighbour too.
But then also... he willingly and quite happily worked for Gus. The type of guy you'd least expect to. Guess everyone has a dark side.
Damn remind me to never pass Gale the aux cord
This is the moment Gale Boetticher became Daniel Hardman
I think Gale and Tuco would get along very well.
Too funny. Imagine Tuco reciting poetry 😸!!
I actually found a copy of this Peter Shilling album on LP after I saw "Breaking Bad" the first time through, but totally without any of this Gale stuff in mind. It's a pretty cool song actually. Plays on classic FM or AM radio here and there.
Gale and Chuck would have made up a top notch singing duet
Shortly after BB, Gale went on to become Daniel Hardman attorney at law
Imagine they both abandoned gus, ran away, started a coffee business and lived happily ever after
Walt knew he must remove gale as soon as he realized he can replace him.
ahhh gale we all love you you are one of a kind buddy
This is my unadulterated favorite part of the series.
Walt can't even properly look Gale in the eye when he was getting rid of him for Jessie
All jokes aside. Gale got a pretty good voice. 🤣
Jesse wasn't a killer. He was a kind kid. But he was also a criminal and meth dealer and manufacturer.
anyone noticed how gale looks like walter in the finale? same fucked up hair, same unkempt beard, same jacket, and a really similar shirt. literally everything looks similar.
The music video makes sense. Wow.
Gale: Hi
Also Gale, with a gun in his face: How can I help u?
Is Gale going to appear in BCS?
I was most sad about Gale when the props crew did a BTS and explained that the coffeemaker wasn’t a real thing. Otherwise I would’ve raided a lab supply store to make my own.
I'm sure you can make one. 😆
@@jaymorgan8013 in the video I saw the props guy admitted it’s not real. There is no perfect coffee machine
I wanna see the future they enter the violent and competitive world of the coffee cartels
Jesse a nice guy pretending to be bad
Gale a nice guy just being a nice guy
That last song was psychedelic stuff!
I just realized i am a combination of walt, Jesse, and gale
They ran that “gale singing” bit into the ground.
Pretty sure it’s the extended version in this video
The most evil thing Jesse did is killing Gale and didn’t letting him drink his tea
Gale's karaoke had the energy of a medieval bard covering a modern pop song at the same speed 😂
I always felt bad for Gale. Despite his being a narcotics manufacturer I always thought he was rational and likable. He didn't deserve what happened to him.
There was a certain nobility to him and his attitude that people were going to chase drugs regardless and at least he wasn't making poison. People would get what they paid for with him.
Lovely character. Really liked this guy.
He was in the Wire.
He was? I watched the wire but don’t remember him, do you mind reminding me of what his role was
Walt could have worked with Gale in the lab and Jesse could’ve worked for Mike in the field
