Maybe the book was a trophy for keeping in Walt's twisted mind. He didn't kill Gale directly but conspired and wanted him dead even before the whole scene played out. Walt seems to take something from each victim such as a preference like cutting the crust off of bread or the rhetoric you mentioned where he echoed Mike's words to Lydia.
Remember, just a few episodes back, the episode that ended with the shot of the watch Jesse got Walt for his birthday ominously sitting on his nightstand, tick, tick, ticking down, as if ticking off the seconds to Walt’s inevitable doom? Go back and take another look at that shot; the watch is actually sitting on top of that Leaves of Grass book. That’s why I said I said in the comments that I couldn’t even say (yet) why that shot was such a masterpiece, and more proof that this show is intended to be watched through more than once.
Seeing just how far Walt has gone is insane. Vince Gillian was true to his word when he wanted Walter White to go from Mr. Chips to Scarface. I also still remember watching this on TV for the first time in 2012 and right when the episode ended, realizing I had to wait a full year to see the conclusion of the season and the show as a whole was like a form of torture due to how Hank finally puts the pieces together as to who Heisenberg is, especially since Walt left that book in the bathroom. What a way to have a mid season finale and great reactions guys, I hope you’re both doing well. Take care!
When this first aired I had to wait 11 months to see the next episode. Just remember that has you stream the next episode I was on pins and needles for 11 months. 😂
Walt has always had his drinks neat until now that Mike's dead. This time with Hank he had his drink on the rocks just like Mike did. Walt continues to take on the traits of his victims, like cutting the crusts off his sandwiches the way Crazy-8 preferred.
Thee longest shit ever! Like 6 months we waited! And good for you Max for remembering that book in the bathroom. But why would Hank use their personal bathroom too?!
6:01. Here's the information on Mike's 10 men killed during this scene: 01. Dan Wachsberger; the lawyer hired by Mike to defend the other 9 men & was making drops of hazard pay money to keep their silence. Also, if you watch the behind the scenes for this episode it's revealed that Dan is talking to his own lawyer about his wife & kids before he gets stabbed. 02. Ron Forenall; Madrigal warehouse foreman who supplied chemicals to Gus' meth empire & Lydia turned over to police in Fifty-One. 03. Andrew Holt; enforcer for Gus that appeared in Problem Dog & was mentioned by Dennis in Hazard Pay. 04. Jack McGann; enforcer for Gus. 05. Isaac Conley; enforcer for Gus. 06. Harris Boivin; enforcer for Gus that was sent to kill Walt & his family in Face Off. 07. Raymond Martinez; enforcer for Gus that was sent to kill Walt & his family in Face Off. 08. Anthony Perez; enforcer for Gus that was mentioned by Dennis in Hazard Pay. 09. William Moniz; enforcer for Gus. Also, if you watch the behind the scenes for this episode it's revealed that his actor did the stunt of being thrown off the balcony & landed on a pile of cardboard boxes. 10. Dennis Markowski; manager of Gus' laundromat where the lab was in the basement that let Gomez investigate in End Times & was told by Mike his wife would get his hazard pay money. The prison killings are inspired by the baptism scene in The Godfather where the 5 rival gang leaders are killed on orders by Michael while here the 10 witnesses are killed by Jack's men on orders by Walt.
Walt is definitely the villain based on the choices he’s made. If you don’t realize that after he let Jane die (or before) then you missed the point of the whole show. You need to watch Better Call Saul now for more Mike.
Queen for a day means you can tell the cops exactly what you know/have done without fear of them using that information against you IF a deal is NOT made based on that information. So say your information is not very good but it’s still incriminating… well, it’s an agreement that the state will not use that information that you revealed against you. It’s not a formal agreement.. more like a gentlemen’s agreement. Hope this helps!
Between everyone else Walt has killed so far, or could still potentially kill, there really seems to be very little Heisenberg can’t do in terms of cutting loose ends. Walter wanted to be the new Jesse James, Scarface, and honestly? I think he might’ve very well succeeded all too well. Have to be honest, almost every scene with Walter White in Season 5 is downright unsettling. Watching the show for myself recently, I honestly don’t remember the last time I was so terrified of a villain the way I was scared of Walter White. I sometimes wonder the million dollar question. Who’s more scared of Heisenberg? Everyone in the show? Or us, the audience?
It's been a pleasure watching your reactions - intellectually and emotionally honest - looking forward to the final few episodes with you. I've seen the series a few times, but I haven't seen the Saul series and I think I'll watch it for the first time along with you when you get around to it.
Queen for a day is basically a precursor for a deal. You tell the court information you believe could be helpful to the government and they win't use it against you. Generally, if they accept it, you have to testify "truthfully." If you don't follow through or the information turns out to be bad, then they can go ahead and prosecute you or sentence you, as the case may be. If the prosecution doesn't follow through, you can file an an action to enforce the agreement.
Damn, I JUST discovered your channel, I'm hopping on THIS episode, and all I can say is GREAT reactions and analysis and now I'm torn: I want to go ahead, but I also want to start from the beginning Hahahahaha! I'm probably going to do both! PS: Love the Floyd shirt. Rock & roll, baby!:D
For me, the entire show is an indictment of law enforcement in the USA. Right under their noses, both Gus and Walt, and no one ever suspected them. And even with the evidence pointing at them still couldn't work it out. Hank never put it together: High skill set Walt suddenly got a load of money, funny behaviour car crash at laundry black eye and plenty other clues Dumb luck tipped him off
You're saying all of this because of how the story is presented, being an audience member with all the information. Most of Walt's actions don't look suspicious outside of that.
"Queen for a Day" is slang for a proffer agreement. It means that you tell the state basically all the illegal and criminal things you've ever committed under the agreement that you won't be charged for them as long as the authorities don't find out different nor you go around blurring the story in interviews or elsewhere. It was Dennis' lawyer's way of giving him a means of immunity, even though it's not technically legal immunity, and essentially looking to rat on the whole operation. That's why Dennis suffered the worse death - word got to Todd's Nazi associates that Dennis was going to be a snitch which is the worst thing you can be in jail. It's also why Keefe D, who admitted he was part of the Tupac murder, thought that his Queen for a Day proffer meant he had immunity about it, but made the mistake of doing interviews for years, changing his story, and recently having Las Vegas DP raid his house for evidence to charge him for it.
The show is going to take a full sudden turn from now on Honestly it's going to get very nasty & dark from next episodes The extent of nastiness will be unbearable & traumatic (it was for me when i watched) ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING AHEAD⚠️

When hank looks up after he just realized gives me chills every single time

I love the "Crystal Blue Persuasion" montage. They really did an excellent job with the music in this show.

Great catch!
Never even noticed that before, wow. This season is just full of dread and I love it
Imagine getting that ending, and finding out the next episode was almost a year away.

so creepy how walt inherits parts of his victim’s personality’s what a sicko
Saul does it too.
I think the scene at the end where they're happy by the pool is one of the only times you see Marie not wearing purple
Which, in itself, is unsettling.
"I don't imagine he's going to be constipated after that", ROFL........awesome line. Also love the floyd shirt.
Whatever else you feel about Lydia, she's really good at keeping herself useful.
wow the busted towel dispenser is a meaning for walter cant change.
I wish they would have added a "plunk" at the very end for when Hank finds out. Would have been perfect comedic timing.
the acting in this show
so good
When this first aired I had to wait 11 months to see the next episode. Just remember that has you stream the next episode I was on pins and needles for 11 months. 😂
Walt has always had his drinks neat until now that Mike's dead. This time with Hank he had his drink on the rocks just like Mike did. Walt continues to take on the traits of his victims, like cutting the crusts off his sandwiches the way Crazy-8 preferred.
I have been waiting on this one. Walt wasn't the Idiot, hell I am sure he never thought Hank would ever pick up the book while using the bathroom. 🤪😝🤣
Was just thinking about the next reaction and you upload, this is the second time I feel like I summoned a video into existence 😂
Thee longest shit ever! Like 6 months we waited! And good for you Max for remembering that book in the bathroom. But why would Hank use their personal bathroom too?!

*Imagine waiting an entire year for the next episode! Lmao what a time*
got off work late and im cracking a beer to this episode !
That OH $#!+ MOMENT!
We had to wait a year for the second half of the season after that ending when it aired.
CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION . . . Ah, haaaaaaaaa 😎😎😎
Bad News: No more Mike Ehrmantraut from now on
Good News: He will be back in Prequel Better Call Saul with even more detailed background story of him
That’s a spoiler. Why would you do that dude?
this is the moment hank became a constipated mineral
Walt is definitely the villain based on the choices he’s made. If you don’t realize that after he let Jane die (or before) then you missed the point of the whole show.
You need to watch Better Call Saul now for more Mike.
This show has the most epic cliffhangers that are just casual, quiet and almost silent
I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction to these final eight.
Queen for a day means you can tell the cops exactly what you know/have done without fear of them using that information against you IF a deal is NOT made based on that information.

Thanks for this, came to the comments looking for the answer.
Thank you!
sounds like Brittany like in prison lol.

Queen for a day means you talk today and get a great deal.
It means you won't get prosecuted later for the crimes you divulge to authorities now.
Thank you!
It's been a pleasure watching your reactions - intellectually and emotionally honest - looking forward to the final few episodes with you. I've seen the series a few times, but I haven't seen the Saul series and I think I'll watch it for the first time along with you when you get around to it.
Congratulations! You're on the begging of the end
More subscribers every episode! Onward and upward!

Yo Jeremy nice haircut and trim my guy, looks great, gotta take off the hat and let everybody see the hair one of these days lol
Oh man, we in the end game now

Hank never put it together:
High skill set
Walt suddenly got a load of money, funny behaviour
car crash at laundry
black eye
and plenty other clues
Dumb luck tipped him off

@@blossom357 Skyler was suspicious right from the start

Max is the only BB reactor I've seen who comments on the book just as Hank enters the bathroom.
16:53 lol about 2 minutes
Must miss scene where Mike was in trunk thought he was left outside
Anyone who remainsTeamWalt after this is UTTER FILTH
#teamHeisenberg
i know scarface was a big inspiration for this show but blood in blood out had a very similar prison scene.
Looking clean boss
oh. nice haircut. :)
one minute I hate Walt. the next minute I'm ruting for him. such great writing and acting. best show ever.
It always kind of baffled me that Skylar couldn't count the money by the little band wrapped around each bundle. 😛😛🤪🤪😏😏🤣🤣
The show is going to take a full sudden turn from now on
Honestly
it's going to get very nasty & dark from next episodes
The extent of nastiness will be unbearable & traumatic (it was for me when i watched)
⚠️TRIGGER WARNING AHEAD⚠️
Let's go
Only 8 more episodes!!!
Hilarious 😂
let's goooo
Good reaction guys! Can’t wait for the next! Ps. Do you have an Instagram? 👀
