I think it shows how Casper wasn’t cut out for this line of work. None of the men on the job were career criminals, and he had set up a quiet, crime-free life. Most people wouldn’t have the instinct to kill or maim another, even if they were being threatened. Lalo, by contrast, dismembers a man casually. Casper was shown to be a good man, and like Werner he ended up paying for it.

Yes and no. He knew what he was doing building the lab was wrong but did it anyway. Then when he messes up at the bar, mike gave him a very specific warning. Yet, he snuck out anyway. While he maybe didn't have blood on his hands, he was in the game. His mistake is thinking his friendship with mike would make it ok, even though mike specifically told him otherwise.
@@BxMxW97 im pretty sure thats not a practical effect, im guessing they actually just filmed it multiple hundred meters away since the gun sound sounds pretty realistic and on point
They introduce the 'German Connection' into the show, it adds layers to both Gus and Mike, all whilst informing the Breaking Bad narrative. And there's something fun about it, and they take that "fun" and make it heartfelt and tragic, though no less sincere. I'm forever impressed with the writing of BCS, no TV show is its equal, currently.
Vince gilligan putting more than enough hints of berrios incident in both show especially berrios doing job inside german secret lab and gus hiring german worker to build laboratory😂
Interesting to think that Mike may have disliked Walt initially for being too similar to Werner. He may have thought that Walt being a civilian with a family would drive him to do crazy things in order to bend the rules of being a criminal. Little did he know that Walt was more a criminal than Mike could ever hope to be.
huh? Werner and Walt were barely alike at all, aside from very high aptitude in varied areas of sciences. Sure from Mike's initial research, it may have shown Walt to be a "regular old family man", but he could tell right from the get go he was too much of a loose canon independent of that. He knew there was a certain amount of delusion Walt had about his supposed rationality and professionalism
I like the idea I saw ages back that Mike only gives Walt the chance he needs to call Jesse in the S3 finale because of guilt from his experience with Werner, if not for that he may well have been less patient with him and killed him before he could warn Jesse.
I had a German guest professor from DAAD teach on campus for 2 years, and he talks like Werner so much. The exaggerated leaning forward and back, the random sound effects especially, i find really weird but also cute; the way Werner likes to pop his mouth, the "boom" of the dynamite, the snorting. He also loves to make those sound effects when teaching, its just so good
Gus : "I need someone to build an elaborate underground bunker complex in complete secrecy, who can accomplish such a thing?" *German music blares in the distance*
@@Sphyn0xsomethings are better left to the imagination. I think the Salamancas are capable of things that might be hard getting TV censors past hard as it is to believe
After Hank discovers the superlab and finding out that Madrigal and it's lawyers were connected to the death of Werner, they may have searched under the lab floor for him and found Lalo and Howard. When Kim confessed being there when Howard was murdered, it isn't too much of a stretch to at least want to search again under the lab for his body to bring closure to his widow.
It's very unlikely that the authorities would make that connection. There's nothing directly that points to the bodies being under the superlab to anyone other than those who buried Howard and Lalo. Also their body was buried under concrete, I doubt that would be easy for them to just stumble upon the two bodies.
Howard and Lalo were buried underneath the poured concrete superlab floor. No one would dig the floor up without having a compelling reason, going in, to do so.
When Gus first meets Walter the first reason he gives for not meeting him the previous day was Jesse turning up late. His choosing of German engineers is not surprising as Germans are well known for being extremely punctual and having a strong work ethic.
thought his reason for not wanting to work with Walt was because Jesse was a drug addict and he doesn't like working with them. Being late just didn't help
I couldn’t do that to my wife, to tell her I never want to see her again before I die, of course she is the last person I want beside me when my time comes, man that must have been hard for Werner, but I understand it needed to be done
yes he loved he so very much and didn't want anything to happen to her. Such a heartbreaking sad scene.. his wife is shown at some point when Lalo goes to visit her.. Lalo had MAJOR OCD!
This was maybe my favorite part of the whole show. It was awesome seeing the superlab being built in complete secrecy. And the characters themselves were all really great. Werner was the most likable character for me.
Probably the toughest kill for Mike. Werner wasn't one of them. He was an architect, a regular man. A family man who lived a law-abiding life for the most part. Gus brought him and charged him with the task of carrying out a victimless crime. Build me a warehouse. And in the basement, put a secret room. Werner wasn't a drug dealer, killer, criminal, or anything such as that. For Mike to have to kill someone outside of the system just to protect their secrets. I doubt he could ever really feel ok with that. He knew he had to. Werner was a liability. a talkative drunk who put Lalo on their trail. Gus wasn't going to let him live and better Mike kill him than someone else. Still. You could see even early on in the Mike/Gus arrangement that the two were effective together, but never agreed 100%. Gus was too much like the cartels. Willing to allow for outside sacrifice to be made. To hurt bystanders and the unconnected to the game. Mike had no interest in that. As far as Mike was concerned, everyone in the system made their choice and had to deal with the consequences. But those outside of it were innocent. Not to be touched or harmed. No matter the circumstance.
Oh my god how can there be so many naive fans of this show. You don't think those architects haven't built MDMA labs all over Belgium/Holland/Germany before they came to Alberqurquie. The Logistical side of Industrial Drug Manufacturing is more than just Chemists and Transport. And every part of the cog is just as aware of what they are involved in, and have chosen the life. Whether it's the crew on board a cargo ship carrying cocaine through the Pacific to get to Australia. Whether it's "Naive" chemical lab in Shenzhen making synthetic Safrole to move to Myanmar, with a blind eye by the CCP on the condition that the final product is to go to the "West". The cargo handlers at the airports who just happen to have on OMCG fully patched member as a brother in law. You get my drift. When he was saying "he was worth 20 of you", he wants being sentimental. He literally meant that henchmen are a dine a dozen. Cooks and engineers in the drug game get paid big bucks because regardless of the illegality they still need to do 4-6 year Uni degrees to learn the trade.
No. Dude knew full well him getting dragged in a hood across the world to build an underground laboratory was about seriously criminal stuff that he was involving himself in.
Totally disagree that Werner was “outside the system”. When someone from half a world away throws you under a hood to drive you somewhere secret the first time you agree to meet them about a job, you know what you are signing up for. Anyone of even average intelligence would have understood the stakes when agreeing to work for Fring, and Werner was obviously much smarter than the average person. He knew he was working with criminals, he knew what he was building would have been used for something illegal, and he knew maintaining secrecy was the number one most important part of a deal he willingly agreed to. He was not outside the system, he agreed to become part of It when he took Fring’s money, and with that money came responsibilities that he was fully aware of but did not live up to. He was a good man, but if you knowingly agree to work with criminals you can no longer feign innocence.
There are lots of German connections in the Gilliverse, aside from Werner and his crew in BCS there's the HQ of Madrigal in Germany and of course its head: Herr Schule, Ermentraut is a German name, as is Schwartz, Schrader, Acker, Schweikart, Boetticher, Kettleman and Wexler. Both shows go to Germany. Do they go to any other countries (except Mexico obvs)?
@@maxmaremmazzi4994 percentage probably higher than that. My ancestors were Scandinavian which is very close to German since the language is considered "Germanic."
@@crazyaces4042 Germanic is not German though. Even English is a Germanic language. When speaking of German ancestry, it actually refers to ancestry from what is modern day Germany, and from people who at the time identified as Germans when they emigrated to the Americas.

Watching this compendium of clips reminds me of how much I enjoyed Better Call Saul. I've seen every episode at least 2-3 times, and after the series finale last year I wanted to give it 12-18 months or so and watch the entire thing again, knowing the outcomes. Very much looking forward to that.
@@EdgyPickle Earlier I had only watched Breaking Bad. I used to see a lot of goofy and funny Saul memes. I used to think that BCS would be just Saul taking some goofy cases and something like that. I finished it last week and it was just a roller coaster of emotions.
I thought the cave under Wayne Manor was used long ago by Bruce Wayne's ancestors to help slaves during the civil war. And part of it collapsed so it was forgotten and abandoned until Thomas Wayne decided to renovate it before Bruce Wayne was born
Werner was the antitheses of Walter -knew his role and seemed just happy to be there, a little too care free -had an actual career that made him an international success with a loving (functional) marriage -accepted his fate and fell on the sword to save the operation
Walt manipulates everyone around him and tho is the worst of them. Werner acts like everyone is basically a good person deep down and reasonable as well.
@@jarpt1 in some ways yes. Walt is more manipulative and Werner is more naive. But on paper they are similar and Mike seems them as similar until he put plays them with gale.
mike forgot about sandia national labs when it came to the "secret underground location" thing and how everyone in albuquerque knows sandia's got classified stuff going on by virtue of being a nuclear science place. if i met werner at that bar i'd have thought he was working there. :(
I love that they actually just went ahead and got a German to play a German. Not like so many other show (most outrageous is still The Blacklist imo, which even took aerial footage of one German city and claimed it was a different one) which don't even try. They don't even need to import the actors (like they did in this case), I'm sure there are many capable ones with native German skills in the US.
Werner spirit probably curse the lab.. After his death anything that going inside does not bring any good result neither anyone entering the lab follow them with hell.. Conaidering two bodies buried underground before completing construction is crazy
Seeing Werner and Mike build this connection for not for it to end up with Mike having to kill Werner is really sad. Hurts even more knowing that Walter eventually comes in and ruins everything including the work that went into creating the underground lab.
I mean after seeing BCS you realize that every character had it coming, especially Mike one of my favorite scenes from BCS is when mike talks to Nachos dad and how he tells them that they are all the same, it goes to show how Mike is equally as evil as the rest
Equally evil? You do have a good point, but it's more complicated than that. I think a better choice of words would be, "Mike has equal capacity/potential for being evil as the rest". That's true to human nature. As it's said, "The line between good and evil cuts through the hearts of all people."@@divine_masculine69
4:20 What was the point of all the secrecy if Gus was just going to walk out and introduce himself? Werner could just Google the name and he'd find Gus's public persona immediately.
@@BananaPhoPhilly I think you should, if you do a well crafted video about genuine mistakes in the show. That would be a great watch especially since all we hear is good things about the show
21:51 Lalo walking around in the world with his schtick reminds me of Anton Chigurh just walking around with his shotgun/bolt gun. Neither of them make any effort either to blend in with their surroundings or to be especially tactical. They just walk around like sore thumbs, inspiring fear and horror.
It's got nothing to do with love. Werner's death is definitely one of the saddest for me and was Mike's worst kill. Werner even opted to make it easier on Mike. It was simply a position he'd never been in before and he didn't realise he couldn't do it until it was getting to him so much that he decided to take the risk. As intelligent as he was, his judgement was clouded because of his emotions. Emotions often get the better of us.
Werner is a literal idiot for doing that. He knew what he got himself into and still did it. Now he left his wife he loved so much a widow all because he got dEsPeRaTe
@@KayvK No way Jose!? This is a TV show????? I didn't know. Read my comment again. Where does it say that the channel creates any of the show? It's the official Chanel of the Gilliverse if anyone thinks this is a separate production from BrBa or BCS then they are mental. I just stated, that the content they produce on here, as in, the compilations, scene grabs etc. are great.
When I was first watching, I would have honestly been equally as satisfied if Lalo had died in that scene compared to when he finally did. The whole Germany arc could have shown that he overstepped his own confidence and paid the price. Lalo was a great antagonist but he did become a bit “super villain-y” towards the end.
@BradsGonnaPlay to be fair same happens with gus in season 4. He gains omnipotence in the final acts of season 4. He straight up doesn't get in his car for no reason other then a gut feeling
@@blazedonakayak5294 Not really. Gus was forced to somewhere he didn’t plan on going to see Jesse, the person closest to Walter in the middle of having just ordered Walter be executed on sight. He thought Walt was involved with setting up the issue to get Gus in the open and he was right.
From how Casper kept demanding answers, I interpreted it as Casper being afraid that Lalo was associated with Gus, and you do not dare to kill Gus's men when you're living at his mercy.
@@blazedonakayak5294 There's a difference between mysterious/coincidental things like Gus's gut feeling (pun intended w Lalo's gut-feeling moment) and straight up getting away with obvious things. Gus did waht he did and things happened the way they did. In this case, it's two people actively looking at and responding to each other with direct, immediate consequences.
Werner is the reason Walt and Jesse have a super lab in BB. Sad they had to kill him for being a big mouth. Even sadder that it was Mike that had to kill him.
Werner spirit do curse the lab.. Tha lab itself have a very dark and evil energy considering all things going inside the lab/product made/people whoever enter.. All is hell
Breaking Bad ruined Better Call Saul for me. Werner was so likable that I figured he’d be the Gail of the show and Mike would be forced to kill him in some heartbreaking way, and boy did they deliver!
Poor Werner. A genius level engineer who was sadly had no self and situational awareness whatsoever. That’s always the case, where someone is brilliant in their vocation, but sorely lacking in others. The poor guy couldn’t see he was in the company of evil men. And his childlike view of the world almost got six innocent men and his own wife disappeared.
4:14 Werner says that a project like this can have many things going wrong. Yet he completed the project almost flawlessly. Instead he brought his own demise upon himself by not remaining discrete, something far more basic than the engineering he planned
i love how even his first response i basically "what a shitshow" you can still tell werner likes the challenge he's being presented with and is genuinely excited to start solving it
Casper chose a half measure, when he should have gone all the way. Axe the ripcage, call the cops about a crazy person with a gun. You were chopping wood, Mexican with an illegal gun in a german forest. They would have let him go with no questions.
I can't stop thinking about how great it would be if Tony Dalton plays a detective in a crime movie or series, like True Detective or something like that.
People have said that Werner & Walter are quite alike and (I'm surely looking way too deep into this) what makes it even more interesting is the fact that Walter's name is also Heisenberg and the first name of the real physicist was Werner.
Werner complaining about the car ride, chugging water noisily, and complaining about Dramamine not helping: foreshadowing how much high maintenance he’s gonna become. Brilliant writing & performance.
Werner's end (one of the saddest deaths I've seen on a TV show) had to happen, I mean, we are talking Breaking Bad's essence. There ain't no happy endings to most of characters in this universe. But, scene at 6:30 really gets me because Mike is such a standup guy, he was a man of his word. He warned him, and didn't matter cause Werner would seek escape either way. And finally when Mike's gotta put him down, dude such chills and sadness, this tv series are a piece of work ⭐
This is so german. Explain the plan to the customer even though it doesn't interest him and he doesn't understand it anyway. Then constantly say its difficult but execute it perfectly according to the plan.
I’ve worked with these kind of guys on a number of big international construction projects. Nice guys, really want to make the project work, always want to find a solution.
I genuinely would love to talk to people (or descendants of people) who lived in Germany during that time, or otherwise had some deep insight on where the population was at culturally back then.@@nonyabizz3533
The through line of Mike's character is precise two way communication -- making consequences very very clear and then asking for feedback that the message is received.
Werner was clearly the wrong guy to hire for that project. He was too careless, too aloof, did not take the seriousness of the situation even nearly enough into consideration, and in the end acted like an absolute, total, utter fool for no reason whatsoever. The character of Mike should have seen that from a mile away, just from the bar incident alone, and gotten rid of him right at this point. Allowing him to continue was a huge, huge mistake that he should have not done.
Werner seeing the pain in Mike's eyes and deciding to make his job easier by opting to turn around and walk away instead of crying, begging & pleading is one of the most selfless actions in the entire series. He asked once "is there no other way?" and took the answer like a man.
He probably couldve swung him if he tried
Nah, you cant do that with Mike.
Me I'll zigzag sprint as far as I can.
Which makes him more of a contrast opposite to Walt.
Which made Kai getting cold-cocked all the more appropriate and all the more satisfying. Shame about Werner, though.

I really love to read comments at the clips of BCS/BB.
These prove how wonderful the shows are that they have such brilliant and smart audience.
To be completely honest most of them are slightly autistic. The correct word would be savants. I was a contractor and I've met some of those same people. They're great at what they do but they can be a bit dry to hang around
Werner's end was one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the whole series
He deserved it, though. He lied after being given a really huge chance.
Yes and no. He knew what he was doing building the lab was wrong but did it anyway. Then when he messes up at the bar, mike gave him a very specific warning. Yet, he snuck out anyway. While he maybe didn't have blood on his hands, he was in the game. His mistake is thinking his friendship with mike would make it ok, even though mike specifically told him otherwise.
it also felt forced. Guy was making millions and had to leave after multiple times being told not too. This was the weakest season of the series imo.

They introduce the 'German Connection' into the show, it adds layers to both Gus and Mike, all whilst informing the Breaking Bad narrative. And there's something fun about it, and they take that "fun" and make it heartfelt and tragic, though no less sincere.

Interesting to think that Mike may have disliked Walt initially for being too similar to Werner. He may have thought that Walt being a civilian with a family would drive him to do crazy things in order to bend the rules of being a criminal. Little did he know that Walt was more a criminal than Mike could ever hope to be.
Werner was way more likeable than Walt. Similar in a superficial way, but personality wise I don’t think so
huh? Werner and Walt were barely alike at all, aside from very high aptitude in varied areas of sciences. Sure from Mike's initial research, it may have shown Walt to be a "regular old family man", but he could tell right from the get go he was too much of a loose canon independent of that. He knew there was a certain amount of delusion Walt had about his supposed rationality and professionalism
They were both smart, that's about where their similarities end.
I like the idea I saw ages back that Mike only gives Walt the chance he needs to call Jesse in the S3 finale because of guilt from his experience with Werner, if not for that he may well have been less patient with him and killed him before he could warn Jesse.
@@disappointedoptimist255nah mike only let walt call him to get his location
I had a German guest professor from DAAD teach on campus for 2 years, and he talks like Werner so much. The exaggerated leaning forward and back, the random sound effects especially, i find really weird but also cute; the way Werner likes to pop his mouth, the "boom" of the dynamite, the snorting. He also loves to make those sound effects when teaching, its just so good

"Was für 'ne Scheiß... ehm... difficult!" Is one of the most german reaction ever 😂
After Hank discovers the superlab and finding out that Madrigal and it's lawyers were connected to the death of Werner, they may have searched under the lab floor for him and found Lalo and Howard. When Kim confessed being there when Howard was murdered, it isn't too much of a stretch to at least want to search again under the lab for his body to bring closure to his widow.
It's very unlikely that the authorities would make that connection. There's nothing directly that points to the bodies being under the superlab to anyone other than those who buried Howard and Lalo. Also their body was buried under concrete, I doubt that would be easy for them to just stumble upon the two bodies.
Howard and Lalo were buried underneath the poured concrete superlab floor. No one would dig the floor up without having a compelling reason, going in, to do so.
When Gus first meets Walter the first reason he gives for not meeting him the previous day was Jesse turning up late. His choosing of German engineers is not surprising as Germans are well known for being extremely punctual and having a strong work ethic.
Maybe Gus didn't know that germans like to get drunk, exactly like Werner did in the bar. They aren't completely reliable 🍺🍻
thought his reason for not wanting to work with Walt was because Jesse was a drug addict and he doesn't like working with them. Being late just didn't help
I couldn’t do that to my wife, to tell her I never want to see her again before I die, of course she is the last person I want beside me when my time comes, man that must have been hard for Werner, but I understand it needed to be done
yes he loved he so very much and didn't want anything to happen to her. Such a heartbreaking sad scene.. his wife is shown at some point when Lalo goes to visit her.. Lalo had MAJOR OCD!
also by the show revealing her we know she is truly safe whereas we can't be sure. So Werner didn't go through all of that stuff in vain.

@@crazyaces4042 and yet Lalo was able to not only find her but charm her,...almost to bed. Scary to think how that could've ended.

This was maybe my favorite part of the whole show. It was awesome seeing the superlab being built in complete secrecy. And the characters themselves were all really great. Werner was the most likable character for me.
Probably the toughest kill for Mike. Werner wasn't one of them. He was an architect, a regular man. A family man who lived a law-abiding life for the most part. Gus brought him and charged him with the task of carrying out a victimless crime. Build me a warehouse. And in the basement, put a secret room. Werner wasn't a drug dealer, killer, criminal, or anything such as that.
For Mike to have to kill someone outside of the system just to protect their secrets. I doubt he could ever really feel ok with that. He knew he had to. Werner was a liability. a talkative drunk who put Lalo on their trail. Gus wasn't going to let him live and better Mike kill him than someone else.
Still. You could see even early on in the Mike/Gus arrangement that the two were effective together, but never agreed 100%. Gus was too much like the cartels. Willing to allow for outside sacrifice to be made. To hurt bystanders and the unconnected to the game. Mike had no interest in that. As far as Mike was concerned, everyone in the system made their choice and had to deal with the consequences. But those outside of it were innocent. Not to be touched or harmed. No matter the circumstance.
Oh my god how can there be so many naive fans of this show.
You don't think those architects haven't built MDMA labs all over Belgium/Holland/Germany before they came to Alberqurquie.
The Logistical side of Industrial Drug Manufacturing is more than just Chemists and Transport. And every part of the cog is just as aware of what they are involved in, and have chosen the life.
Whether it's the crew on board a cargo ship carrying cocaine through the Pacific to get to Australia. Whether it's "Naive" chemical lab in Shenzhen making synthetic Safrole to move to Myanmar, with a blind eye by the CCP on the condition that the final product is to go to the "West".
The cargo handlers at the airports who just happen to have on OMCG fully patched member as a brother in law.
You get my drift. When he was saying "he was worth 20 of you", he wants being sentimental. He literally meant that henchmen are a dine a dozen. Cooks and engineers in the drug game get paid big bucks because regardless of the illegality they still need to do 4-6 year Uni degrees to learn the trade.
No. Dude knew full well him getting dragged in a hood across the world to build an underground laboratory was about seriously criminal stuff that he was involving himself in.
Totally disagree that Werner was “outside the system”. When someone from half a world away throws you under a hood to drive you somewhere secret the first time you agree to meet them about a job, you know what you are signing up for. Anyone of even average intelligence would have understood the stakes when agreeing to work for Fring, and Werner was obviously much smarter than the average person. He knew he was working with criminals, he knew what he was building would have been used for something illegal, and he knew maintaining secrecy was the number one most important part of a deal he willingly agreed to. He was not outside the system, he agreed to become part of It when he took Fring’s money, and with that money came responsibilities that he was fully aware of but did not live up to. He was a good man, but if you knowingly agree to work with criminals you can no longer feign innocence.
There are lots of German connections in the Gilliverse, aside from Werner and his crew in BCS there's the HQ of Madrigal in Germany and of course its head: Herr Schule, Ermentraut is a German name, as is Schwartz, Schrader, Acker, Schweikart, Boetticher, Kettleman and Wexler. Both shows go to Germany. Do they go to any other countries (except Mexico obvs)?
and of course Walter White choosing the name Heisenberg in Breaking Bad

Lot of sad arcs in this series but this was the saddest. Werner just didn't belong in that kind of life.
I love that they actually just went ahead and got a German to play a German. Not like so many other show (most outrageous is still The Blacklist imo, which even took aerial footage of one German city and claimed it was a different one) which don't even try.

Sounds like hormonal thinking to me which is no thinking, no control, no discipline
It's got nothing to do with love. Werner's death is definitely one of the saddest for me and was Mike's worst kill. Werner even opted to make it easier on Mike. It was simply a position he'd never been in before and he didn't realise he couldn't do it until it was getting to him so much that he decided to take the risk. As intelligent as he was, his judgement was clouded because of his emotions. Emotions often get the better of us.

I still can't buy Casper letting his guard down after the crazy man with a gun is doing/saying insane things.
When I was first watching, I would have honestly been equally as satisfied if Lalo had died in that scene compared to when he finally did. The whole Germany arc could have shown that he overstepped his own confidence and paid the price. Lalo was a great antagonist but he did become a bit “super villain-y” towards the end.

From how Casper kept demanding answers, I interpreted it as Casper being afraid that Lalo was associated with Gus, and you do not dare to kill Gus's men when you're living at his mercy.
@@blazedonakayak5294 There's a difference between mysterious/coincidental things like Gus's gut feeling (pun intended w Lalo's gut-feeling moment) and straight up getting away with obvious things.

In this case, it's two people actively looking at and responding to each other with direct, immediate consequences.

They skipped a lot. This could have been an hour long video easily

Breaking Bad ruined Better Call Saul for me. Werner was so likable that I figured he’d be the Gail of the show and Mike would be forced to kill him in some heartbreaking way, and boy did they deliver!
I really enjoy this character, he is so underrated!
Poor Werner. A genius level engineer who was sadly had no self and situational awareness whatsoever. That’s always the case, where someone is brilliant in their vocation, but sorely lacking in others. The poor guy couldn’t see he was in the company of evil men. And his childlike view of the world almost got six innocent men and his own wife disappeared.
Lalo standing there with the axe, you know Casper was in a few more pieces before the conversation ended.
I love how they casted real Germans for this and those got advised to randomly say german expressions like "Scheiße".
Some of the most intelligent people on the earth still do stupid things.
4:14 Werner says that a project like this can have many things going wrong. Yet he completed the project almost flawlessly. Instead he brought his own demise upon himself by not remaining discrete, something far more basic than the engineering he planned
i love how even his first response i basically "what a shitshow" you can still tell werner likes the challenge he's being presented with and is genuinely excited to start solving it
One of my favorite plot lines in all of BB / BCS. Ty
Casper chose a half measure, when he should have gone all the way.
Axe the ripcage, call the cops about a crazy person with a gun. You were chopping wood, Mexican with an illegal gun in a german forest. They would have let him go with no questions.
Werner's death in BCS hit me about the same way as Gale's death in BB, two wise men gone too soon.

People have said that Werner & Walter are quite alike and (I'm surely looking way too deep into this) what makes it even more interesting is the fact that Walter's name is also Heisenberg and the first name of the real physicist was Werner.

Szia!
Werner complaining about the car ride, chugging water noisily, and complaining about Dramamine not helping: foreshadowing how much high maintenance he’s gonna become.

Werner's end (one of the saddest deaths I've seen on a TV show) had to happen, I mean, we are talking Breaking Bad's essence. There ain't no happy endings to most of characters in this universe. But, scene at 6:30 really gets me because Mike is such a standup guy, he was a man of his word. He warned him, and didn't matter cause Werner would seek escape either way. And finally when Mike's gotta put him down, dude such chills and sadness, this tv series are a piece of work ⭐
