Poor Badger gets hate even when he isn't in an epi, lol
Right? Leave our boy alone.
RIVER DANCE
Lol well he is one of the best hitmen west of the Mississippi
They're (jesse etc.) all dumb, idk why she hates Brandon. He and Skinny Pete are two of the best characters.
Understandable. He was insanely annoying early in the series.
You’re only scratching the surface rn, but one of the more interesting details over the course of the series is that despite being so brilliant and detached, Walt is SO BAD at lying to Skyler.
I swear Maple was Al Capone in a prior life. Her first thought is he should kill his parents, she is talking about how to scale over the barbed wire. Every video with shows like this I feel like she goes right to what a criminal should do as the obvious next step. 🤣
She’s a genuine delinquent no doubt. 😂
LOL ooooh noooo 😭
@@MapleDivine keep up the great work! 🤣
Skylar can tell Walt is lying because he over explains when he lies.
She is still a bitch though. She was unlikeable from Episode 1.
Walt honestly coulda just said it was a second cellphone he used to buy weed, a very simple lie skylar would believe because she already knew about the weed.
There is a legit reason why we all don't drive with two feet. You have to take your foot off the accelorator to brake and take your foot off the brake to accelerate. Doing it that way makes sure you don't try to hit both at the same time like Walt Jr. did.
Also, he’d never pass a driving test that way.
That is a good reason, but I also feel like the way that originally became the reason for it was just to compensate for poor design though, or at least compensate for old mechanical limits that newer cars with computers in them should be able to properly address. They should be designed such that if you hit both, then it brakes; the accelerator should never override the brake.
@@Californ1a Conversely, building in an override of that sort is an extra component, which introduces points of failure. A simpler device is harder to break.
I thought it was more because automatic transmissions didn't initially exist for several decades, and even now aren't ubiquitous. Gotta have that clutch foot constantly active.
Telling Skyler the truth would put her in an awful situation. How does she not tell Hank?
It's hilarious how angry people got at her for smoking relative to Walt for all his crimes...
No doubt Walt has done inexcusable things but smoking while pregnant and having a high chance of giving the child birth defects is also inexcusable.
Bro read the comment above and think about it again
If she stopped at one cigarette then it's not going to be enough to have a negative effect on the fetal development. I agree that it pales in comparison to everything Walt's done to date. Even Marie's klepto behavior is minute relative to cooking/distributing a highly addictive substance. At this stage I can still excuse Walt for the murders because they were acts of self defense, but they happened because of the other really bad choices he's made.
@@jmwild1 she definitely did not stop at one. Also just don't do it. Why even risk one?
@@southeastasiandudeWe don't know whether she stopped at one. We do know in the next episode that she flushed the rest of them (normally that'd be a spoiler to mention but the ladies are quite a few episodes ahead on Patreon).
nah idk about yall but the “looks like it’s time to murder your parents” got me laughing stupid 😭😭😭
But wait, Jesse’s life gets WORSE! 😀
Jesse is absolutely the one who has it the worst through the whole entire series!! So bad!
He also grows the most.
@@Nb123022 I’d argue there’s some who got worse but not by much.
@@BrandonWestfall Who's that?
@@Nb123022 Does he though? Let's not forget Crazy 8 was gonna kill him the day after Emilio got out. And at one point he's a millionaire. And he's the only one in the game who makes it out alive. Literally everyone else dies, except Saul.
3:15 Walt is both an exceptional liar & a terrible liar
I'm pretty sure whenever his life is on the line his charisma and lying stats go through the roof. When he's lying to his wife, not so much.
@@Renoisticnot necessarily. Some times he is very good at lying to Skyler. The Gretchen situation comes to mind. The problem is Walt is often too elaborate. He's too smart for his own good. The key to a good lie is simplicity.
agreed. He's good at lying on the fly but he gets carried away and over explains.
I've been a bartender for 5 years and there is nowhere in the world that would hire you if you just knew how to make an old fashion. If you have it's because you're a hot woman lol
Hot woman.
That's not what they said. They said lie about knowing how to make all the drinks and make whatever drink that was because it's not a common one or complicated or whatever and they'll think if you know how to make that you can make anything.
@@russellward4624 we are both bartenders I think you all are missing the joke lmao 😂 but yes I have seen this happen
incel comment lol
Thats not just a smell he has to deal with. Those are chemicals he is bathing in and he would need the gas mask just to breathe.
Walt is an idiot for not keeping the pot dealing thing going. "Yea uhh you threatened to call the DEA on a student selling me pot to deal with my chemo, it helps my chemo sickness! So I bought a second phone to contact him because i didn't want him knowing anything else about me"
Easy peasy.
And then Skylar confronts Jesse again. She wasn't afraid to the first time.
@@thedarkemissaryAll he’s gotta do is lock his doors next time. Or Walt could just say he found a new weed dealer.
Walt came up with a crappy lie that anyone with half a brain could easily see through. He did a lot of talking but didn't really say anything. Cell phone alarm? Really? Who sets their phone alarm to sound exactly like a ringing phone? That seems to be a pattern emerging with Walt. Any time he lies he sure does a lot of talking about nothing.
It ain't like he planned it. He got called in the middle of the night and taken at gunpoint, remember?
He lies like George Costanza.
@MrWigglesWorth I WAS IN THE POOL!
Um... me after I saw this episode I was like, yup need to build an Alibi now
And he's acting like it was some off-handed innocuous concern when he should know how alarming a 2nd cell phone would be to Skylar, even if his innocent explanation was truthful. He doesn't approach it with any seriousness or respect, trying so hard to be casual that he sounds insane.
Not to mention he's obviously doing his "perfect husband" bit (wow great job walter cooking one or two meals for your pregnant wife and disabled son, you're the best guy ever!) as wrapping paper on his lie.
I think it’s more simple, Walter has been lying to Skylar and gaslighting her for a season and a half so far.
I laughed heartily when you suggested Jesse had no recourse but to kill his own parents. You’re understanding the world of Breaking Bad now. There are no rules.
In retrospect, Walt should have gone to Mexico with Tuco. Now, even Arianna and Maple hate him.
23:13 I never noticed that he said "Do it"
I think one can always theorize how much of an actual death wish walter has ... i mean he wanted to refuse treatment, and all that risky behaviour ... no spoilers of coursw. But I think him having some s**ci**l ideation is a driving force that makes him take all these risks.
@@mappes1 I agree. I didn't want to go into too much detail for spoiler reasons but the reason I pointed it out was because *a bit of spoiler I guess* I never noticed how early on the show he was "looking" for death. It definitely happens later on and more obvious but I didn't catch on how early
This episode is lowkey where I picked sides. Everyone who sided with the dumb "flynn" name I despised.
This part of season 2 is the toughest to watch. It's all about relationships and watching them fall apart. Confrontations with no resolutions. This is when the real Skylar hate began, because folks who kind of sympathized with Walt began to see her only as an impediment to Walt being successful at cooking meth.
This is not even Jesse's worst day yet lol
10:58 this scene is so cringe. Having been on both sides of a situation exactly like that it hurts to see.
I thought I had heard somewhere that the scene with Jesse slamming the phone he actually caught his finger in it when he slammed it, the reaction was an actual reaction and they felt it worked so they kept it.
18:30 Maple youre a genius 😂
Someone should do a tally of just how many times Maple says "like" in the course of one video. I bet the final total will be pretty high.
Skylar is definitely supposed to be annoying but you're also supposed to be like "I get it"
good assessment
Lmao I grew up on a family ranch here in Texas so yeah you can cross barb wire fairly easy once you get used to it but even then its easy to get torn up by it especially at night when you can't see the barbs or when an animal is stuck in it and you're trying to get it out and they understandably go ape shit when you try to help. The best trick is to push the different strands together by putting your hand between the barbs and pushing down with your open palm so you don't get poked by the barbs below on the other strands then throw your leg over and basically rest your crotch on top of your hands and throw your other leg over while simultaneously jumping off the fence and letting go with your hands. The easiest way is just to throw a towel or a rug over it but thats assuming you have one you're willing to ruin
I love the serious and thoughtful commentary at the end of the vid, juxtaposed with the silly user names of the Patreon members. 😂
Tuesdays are my fave! But 7 days is a long time to wait
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WALT HAS DONE FOR HIS FAMILY
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WALT HAS DONE FOR HIS FAMILY
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WALT HAS DONE FOR HIS FAMILY
Great reaction, ladies, and I enjoyed the in-depth discussion afterwards!
38:29 I mean what do you want him to do? Tell his wife he’s cooking meth?
loved the after ep discussion
Love your analysis! On my first watch of this series a few years back (2014 or so) I don't think I cared about any of Skyler's annoying traits in season 1. So her moment of partial catharsis (the couch scene toward the end of this episode) felt even more deserved, in my mind. But I'm glad that people who critiqued her prior to that point can also feel that.
But then, at the end of the episode, Skyler decides to break bad herself. Man, what a let down! And that's not the last time in the series she breaks bad.
my thing about skyler as well is that it's not a diss to the show to not like a character who was designed to be unlikable. their hate of skyler early on was a testament to how well the show was written and how well skyler was acted.
Skyler smoking is definitely not her breaking bad moment any more than Walt smoking pot was...
it' not the smoking, it's the smoking while very pregnant. walt wasn't going to negatively effect their baby with his weed
@@Diegesisyup!
@@DiegesisUnlikable characters is a fine line. I really struggle with this show because watching Jesse is annoying 100% of the time, which prevents me enjoying so many of the scenes. Every unlikeable character potentially alienates a viewer.
Are you guys planning to watch the Breaking Bad movie El Camino when you finish the series?
Yes
Walt is such a bad liar. What Walt should have done is set his cell phone alarm to remind him to take his medication. Let this happen conspicuously in front of Skylar. This lets Skylar make the leap that Walt's cell phone alarm was what she heard the night Walt disappeared. In this way, the idea that Skylar mistook Walt's alarm for the ring on Walt's cell phone originates with Skylar and not some lame ass lie from Walter.
If he had thought of the cell phone alarm excuse when she asked about it the first time, he might have slipped by with it.
23:21 I thought the door opening by itself was in the actual room behind them for a second
I think it's also possible that Skyler has just accepted the box that she has been put in by circumstance but the box isn't _her_ per se. Your assessment of her is spot on though.
You might not know who Boz Scaggs is, but you've probably heard his music. Blues rock, jazz rock, soft rock. He played with Steve Miller early on.
@@deepermind4884 I didn't say they would know, I said they probably have heard his music without knowing. Reading comprehension, get some.
If he tells her and she does nothing, she is an accomplice
She already is. He is paying their bills with drug money. If he gets caught, the government would likely seize their house...
This episode set out to do exactly what it meant to.
As viewers, you were behind walter doing the shady things and cooking meth' because he was doing it for the right reasons.
This totally turns the viewers against him.
You see from those close to him start to turn and hate him.
However, it is us as the viewers who really know what he's been upto and why, so we are more justified to dispise him.
Yet walter is still going to die from cancer and leave a family behind.
When Walter and Jesse come to blows and then settle.
That's just what guys tend to do.
Clears the air.
@12:45 How did the girls not laugh at "Not cool." One of my favorite lines in the show
He should have said he got a second phone to score ganja with, as alternative medicine for his cancer.
She would be implicated . She goes to her brother for everything .
He cant tell her.
Skyler freaked out over weed, I think Walter admitting he makes and sells meth isn't gonna go over very well.
18:45 Maple that sounds … oddly specific
Why didn't Jesse just stay with Wendy for a while?
Fuck. This show is so good.
I feel like S1 Skylar is an obnoxious Karen, but S2 and after I think she's actually one of the most complicated and sympathetic characters on the show, even when she's "breaking bad" herself. Also, Anna Gunn is an amazing actress.
Dude! Not my parents
Arianna ... mingya!
Disingenuous* 6:42
Well that’s embarrassing…. hahhaahhah Talking is hard
I see the Skyler hate is already flooding the comments, and we're so early in season 2 still! It was so bad, Anna Gunn got actual death threats because of her performance. I don't get it, the vitriol is so horrendously toxic.
That is so sad 🥲
The fact that some people are so dumb that they can’t tell the difference between a character and the actress who plays that character is frightening.
@@gwenjackson8583 truly. Also don’t read the comments on most of these reactions then because those people have no shame apparently 🤦🏽♀️
Nothing wrong with hating a character in a show just because some lunatics go after the actress
The homeless man calls Jesse captian america as a nod to Peter Fonda's character in "Easy Rider."
Not every man* can pull off a lie just because they are a man, unless you are taller than 5'9 because anything less than that and people won't believe you or respect you which is also why women are treated so shitty
And of course Walter White is the protagonist and the villian of the show
18:50 Doesn't work. Believe, I tried.
Jesse suffers so much throughout this series. I forgot how brutal this ep was for him and it's all downhill from here
Nah!
Boz Gags is the lead of Steve Miller Band
it's crazy how easy you think it is to become a bartender lol
We are both bartenders 😂
I mean, after 10 years in the industry you kind of see it all. I have 100% seen people lie about their experience and get hired. They usually get fired if its high volume but still.
@@ariannaw6858 Maybe I just live in a weird area because all the bartenders I've talked to say it's extremely competitive
@@MapleDivine I'm not a bartender so maybe I have the wrong impression completely. Bartenders I know locally say you can't even start as a bartender but maybe it's just the bars I'm going to
👀 Eva Mendez got nothing on Arianna.
👍🏾
Chad. Did you make it clear to the girls that you were trading trauma for money?
I just wanna watch good shows. most good shows make you feel something
@@Diegesis True. I was trying to make a joke but your comment is as real for you as it is for me. I will keep watching and shit commenting. TX.
I found myself sticking up for Mr. White a lot this reaction lol ... I think I might have some issues. "OH shut up". When she said that I was like, hey hey he has done a lot so far
Same. I had to pause the reaction and watch it later lol
Aaron Paul top 10 crier of all time
Her smoking is why "flynn" has cereal hallpass!
not sure those correlate
It's honestly so refreshing to see women reacting to Skyler and the marriage issues. The amount of hate this character got when the show was airing was unreal. Sure, she's a square, but I think Skyler just hits a bit different for us women :)

Chocolate chip pancakes are garbage Blueberry Crew represent
Blueberries are for plebs. Raspberry/blackberry or throw them in the trash. 😂
I love blueberry pancakes but they are so hard to do correctly.
Honestly I’ll take any of the options!
Can’t wait for them to hate skylar like the rest of us
that started in like episode 2. maybe even 1
Am i the only one that thinks eating cake for breakfast is kinda ridiculous.
I'm glad you guys are coming around to Skylar. She didn't deserve the hate you any most people gave her.
She'll get worse
I think they have a good view on both if them. Skylar and marie are both kinda karens (not full blown, but a bit), but i like how they see it all in the context of this dysfunctional relationship she has with walt (even before the diagnosis). And that two people (can) make a dysfunctional or unhappy marriage, not just one.
I mean at least walt was clearly unhappy and depressed with his life, but skylar either did not care or not notice (i think the latter). That is also a bit telling about her.
However, skylar is not the worst ever or sonething. And anna gunn did a fantastic job. Also, walt is the one going from doormat to kingpin in a second. Of course that creates ripples with skylar (and rightfully so)
They should have just had Skyler's stress response be to beat Walter Jr. Because I've never seen people so ready to excuse child abuse vis a vis smoking in the third trimester. Then you could happily say that it doesn't matter that she did something horrible because she's not even strong enough to leave a bruise. Or a bruise that lasts for more than 2 days. It's not doing any harm if it happens just once. That's silly.
Doing nothing all day really stressed out skyler
Question: if you feel like your wife or husband hiding something from you. What would you feel? What would you do? Would you go back your own bad habits for example? Isn’t that a sign of weakness of will? Or something evil reveals from the deep of your heart?
Wow, you really don’t allow for humans to have a moment of weakness. We will learn Skylar smoked a total of 3.5 cigarettes and threw away the rest. It’s completely reasonable behavior.
I didnt give my opinion if you able to understand what you read. It was a question! @@maxducoudray
I think peoples initial response would be feelings of betrayal and then likely anger. I think if this had been the first time Skylar thought he was hiding something she would have let it go like in prior episodes. Except Walt has a tendency to yell and be an aggressor so they end up meeting each other pretty low. So I can see how her betrayal confusion and anger led her to lapse into a bad habit probably out of spite somewhat. Personally I have a tinge of perfectionism and the need to prove to be better that I’m aware of at this current time in my life so generally not how I would handle those feelings if it were me! But the way they’re acting is very human for two people who are possibly not going to be compatible in the future if it continues. I think people are complex they just need a way to work together ❤️
Thanks for the respond. Lets see how it goes on the future@@MapleDivine
Skylar smoking while pregnant was indefensible. And you have to wonder if its her fault for Walter Jr's condition.
I never thought about that, interesting.
I thought the same thing! I always wondered if that was gonna be revealed later on 🤔
Yeah, its been well-established that smoking, drinking, and drug use all potentially cause cerebral palsy among other conditions. The show never revisited the topic unfortunately.
Yes, she accidentally gave Jr. a birth defect, now with full knowledge, she is trying to do the same again as a punishment to Walt.
They probably didn't go further because everyone hated her already.
People always defends Skyler's behavior in this period of the show by asserting that her long-time relationship with Walt has given her enough insight to be suspicious of him, even without any real evidence of wrongdoing. Fair enough, but I then come back to the earlier episodes. Where was that keen insight that told her Walt was sad, miserable and repressed, that he felt unappreciated and that he was wasting his life and his potential? Her idea of making his 50th birthday special was to demand he confront his boss so he can leave work early (at his second job of the day), in order to be home for a surprise party he was not enjoying, at which an outside observer might actually think Hank was the guest of honor, since he had as many coworkers present as Walt did, and then finish it off with the least sexy sexual favor ever, which includes mocking his lack of arousal while giving him less than half her attention, refusing his attempt to induce a greater degree of intimacy, and pausing to glare at him when he expresses an interest in doing something other than the chores she has planned.
Either Skyler's wifely intuition is bullshit, or more likely, the source of her distress was not concern or worry over Walt's well-being, fidelity or good behavior, rather she is upset because Walt is slipping the leash she has had him on for nearly two decades.
This should be top comment on every video regarding Skyler and exactly why everyone hates her
Thats walter whites thing, hes an unbearably cringingly bad liar
Tbf, he's only been doing it a month. He hasn't had a lot of practice.
He is an inconsistent liar. At times he is quite good at it... The pot lie to Skyler for example.
30:00 risking the babies health is a pretty awful/selfish thing to do. Kinda feel like y’all let her off easy.
crazy that smoking and drinking while pregnant is legal
Why Walt wouldn’t just divorce. Fuck the family thing.
Walt only has 2 things he's proud of; his family and his skill.
At some point the ends stop justifying the means.
The ends never justify the means...
depends on the means. if the ends is have clean dishes then the means of put the dishes in the washer are worth it
And here is where most of the audience started to dislike Walt's family. Not straight up but......Skylar and Jnr kinda suck😂awesome acting though.
Junior just wants breakfast. What did he do worth of hate?
@@havok6280 😅 just meant that they kinda started being unlikable from this point on and Skylar more than Jnr ofcourse.
Skyler sucks. That is all.
Only if you miss the entire point of the show. "Why won't she just let him be dishonest and sell meth?" lol
You must've missed the later seasons where her moral compass conveniently swings. Smoke it up Skyler.. Eat that food that's bad for your baby purposefully.. And hey Ted. What's up. It doesn't excuse Walt's behavior. Walt sucks at times too and makes bad decisions for his marriage.@@BH-wh2vo
@@BH-wh2voshe treats him like a child from the start, she does not deserve the vitriol she gets though
@@BH-wh2vo It's more like, "Why doesn't she try to understand her husband?"
Throughout all of season 1 and 2 you see little effort from Skylar to understand anything about her husband. She only ever reacts to his actions. She never tries to understand why he makes them. That's why he lies to her.
No... She gives hand jobs... Rewatch the first episode...
Women : My feelings , my weird hormons , my body , my drama , i want this , i want that , me me me me me me me !!!! While they have a House , children , a confortable Life , eat good etc etc
Walter has cáncer , traying to make Money for his wife and family before die as a dog , rinsking his Life everyday with criminals , fighting the quimiotherapy second effects every day , scared everyday for his family etc etc etc
But this girls defend his crazy wife , She feels this , She feels that , everything is empty feelings ,but Any facts there ... They even don't speak about Walter feelings ...

I hear you but to be fair the second cell phone thing would make anyone extremely upset
Learn to spell before you go on a schizo rant again buddy
Man, I forgot how bad the Skylar hate got from weirdos when this show was airing. Nice little trip down memory lane here.
The reason people hate Skylar so much is because she has always acted so high and mighty, but this episode specifically shows her worst traits. The smoking showed:
1. She is the reason why the last baby miscarried, she blamed morning sickness pills but she smoked while pregnant and REFUSED to accept that she could be to blame
2. She is the reason for Walt's lung cancer, and when he got sick she refused again to even think she could have been the issue: instead she blamed the chemicals Walt worked with years ago.
