Remember a couple of episodes ago, Skyler said she wouldn’t let her kids live in a home where “hurting people and killing people is shrugged off as ‘shit happens’” Todd: *shrugs* Shit happens
LOL as if the DEA and other law enforcement are holy cows. A lot of DEA are involved in drug trafficking and pedalling. If you think about it they're failed gangsters because the real gangsters do it without a badge and state to protect them and with all the risk. They're actually cowards.
Having dated someone diagnosed with autism, I see his reaction as something she would have done. "Kid saw us? You said no one can see us" (btw this is not a dig or an attack at anyone with autism, just an observation)
@@LyleAllbritton Why do you weirdos always bring autism into this? Todd's actions were totally legit and his actions are what would've happened in 'real life;' the difference being, his partners would've praised him for his quick thinking and action and not being held back "just because he was a kid." But nah; you have to imply that autistic people are cold blooded murderers.
It’s important to remember that while supporting his family was the initial impetus for Heisenberg, it wasn’t because he was worried on their behalf. He just didn’t want his own legacy to be as somebody with nothing to leave them.
Another great reaction. Some FYI: - Getting the exact amount of Methylamine out and water in was important to keep the weight. Had Walter stopped sooner, it would be known the train was robbed at the next weigh in point. - When Walter was whistling that tune, it was "Lily of the Valley". The Lily of the Valley berries were used to poison Brock.
@@arthurscastro she isn't trying to comment; she is just saying what she thinks, and she, unfortunately, isn't the sharpest rock in the dishwasher. These channels are popular because of CUTE GIRL, not because they are intelligent.
Vince Gilligan said that Todd is a Sociopath/Psychopath. He’s capable of being nice but has no regrets for his actions. He hangs around bad people all the time and allegedly picked up traits from them.
Todd is someone who seems like he might've turned out okay if he'd ended up with an adoptive family from a young age and raised normally. When we see where he comes from, it makes a lot of sense that he is the way he is.
@@soulscyther666 Yeah as bad as he comes off he genuinely does do a lot of what he does specifically in the interest of people he cares and respects. Like I don’t think he ever has any alterier motives to the terrible actions he does other than wanting to do a good job no matter what. He follows orders and does so without any hesitation, vile enjoyment, or malice in the slightest.
Yeah...Vince Gilligan isn't a psychologist, though. For sure Todd displays amorality, which is *part* of psychopathy, but there are some scenes that seem to suggest he truly doesn't understand right and wrong - it's not that he knows something is wrong and does it anyway, it seems like he truly doesn't GET right and wrong. Like in the last scene where Jesse kills him, Todd seems truly confused why Jesse would do that in spite of everything Todd did to him. The pervasive anger, impulsivity, risk-taking, contempt towards others, and arrogance that are hallmarks of psychopathy don't really show up a ton with Todd. Tuco, on the other hand, is a much more accurate portrayal of psychopathy - he's pretty much a classic example. He knows right from wrong, he just doesn't care, and he's impulsive, violent, arrogant, and constantly angry.
True. I was already typing an "oh dear, just you wait" comment during the last reaction, but was not sure how far ahead V actual is in watching. But tbh, when I first watched the show, I had the same feeling.
Vicki: "Walt is such a good liar!" Remember all the way back in season one when Walter couldn't lie to save his life? My, how things have changed. He's made so much "progress".
Growing up in New Mexico my brother and I were constantly exploring the desert around our home sometimes going miles out. Fortunately for us the worst thing we ever saw was a group of teenagers parked in a van getting high. Later found out my older sister was among them.😂
What I love about the train heist episode was that the writers could have easily had the plan go wrong. That's how the whole show had been up to that point. but having Todd be the wildcard shows how little control they have over these situations. And everyone's reaction to Todd in the following episode is such a great way of revealing character even though we know everyone so well up to this point anyway.
"What kind of spoiled kid gets a dirtbike.. and he's allowed to just roam the desert?" ... Lol, tell me you're City Folk without telling me you're City Folk :P
I don't think Walter 'likes' Todd, but he recognizes his usefulness as someone he can delegate the dirty jobs to so that he can wash his hands of the consequences and continue to live with himself. So you were kind of right earlier on about Todd's role as a scapegoat, just in more of the psychological sense for Walter.
I feel like Mike was always dark. It’s just not as obvious because he has his code and his rules. But ultimately he was a fixer for a meth kingpin when we met him
I wonder if Jesse would end up like Mike if he stayed in this buisness too long. Cynical and bitter with still a tiny shred of decency left. A few moral ground rules that he would never break, no matter how jaded he may become.
No shit he was always dark; he was a literal murderer, and his stupid code and 'rules' are extremely hypocritical. In real life, someone like Mike would be despicable and a 'holier than thou' type. He kills, but he is better because of his 'code;' what a self-righteous asshat. People only like Mike because he comes off better than the people he is around, which isn't saying much.
A LOT, really the VAST majority of fans have very rose colored glasses on when they think or talk about Mike, completely forgetting that it he had his way, both Walt and Jessie would have been dead 2 seasons ago. Mike's a monster. He's no better than Walt or even Todd.
The thing with Todd is that he's a non-sadistic socio/psychopath. Meaning he has no remorse for killing others as long as it gets the job done. He doesn't take pride in it, but he doesn't feel shame or regret in it as well. In a way, he's just like hal9000 or aut-o from wall-e. Following a directive without question and do anything necessary
This is actually how the vast majority of scientists are. it is actually an extremely valuable trait to have for those that 'build' society and make contributions on a grand scale
@@richietribe9487So, I just double-checked myself and I actually got the two mixed up. Sociopaths lose control easily and are more erratic than psychopaths. So Todd indeed a psychopath.
I believe Walt’s break down in Hank’s office was mostly manipulation but importantly there was some real feeling in there. Walt can even use his genuine emotions as tools to manipulate others now.
Tons of kids around here had dirt bikes, minibikes or other mopeds when I was growing up. Kids usually bought them with the money they got from their first summer jobs. I was almost an exception for not having one. They were cheap and abundant, and gave kids an introduction to vehicles, vehicles maintenance and traffic. Overall pretty useful and educational things. The spoiled kids were taken to a dirt bike track, the rest just rode around wherever they could.
I grew up and live about 25 miles away from the site of the train heist and that kid on the motorcycle could have been any of my friends, or even myself. This episode always hit home to me.
@@LordBaldursociopathy and ASPD are the same thing aren’t they? I think he is the real definition of psychopathy because there is really no emotion in him unlike someone with only ASPD
@@andristo206 I'm not a psychologist. All I know is that is lies in a spectrum with personality disorders being the worst because... well, they're disorders. I don't know if sociopathy is the same as ASPD, but you can be a psychopath and not have a disorder. You just happen to be someone with less remorse.
Todd is an interesting case. Until now, we've seen ruthless villains who are manipulative and use others as tools, like Heisenberg and Gus Fring. Meanwhile, Todd is a deconstruction of the villain who is genuinely friendly to those who don't get in his way. Despite this, *it doesn't make him likeable.* He actually shows how an affably criminal would come off in real life: *extremely creepy,* since it's disturbing to see an overly polite guy like Todd killing children without hesitation.
I grew up in Arizona in the 70 and I actually had a jean jacket and a little XR 75 motorcycle for messing around in the huge field behind my grandpas house. I never collected spiders in jars just for the record.
@@TheDemonicPenguinthe water weight was different than the methylamine weight. The water pump was only turned on after 300G of methylamine had been pumped out. So to get the water weight exactly he needed to wait until the methylamine storage tank was full before he shut both pumps off.
@@mcfearsunI mean yea, he told Jesse he regretfully lost out on the last big opportunity for wealth and success and he didn’t mean to make that decision twice. He is greedy for not being happy with the $5000 buyout of Greymatter technologies and thus has always been greedy.
Vic has such funny lines. First she says that a war with China will be the next Breaking Bad arc. And in the Gremlins reaction, she called Rand Peltzer a breeder 😂
34:16 It is at this moment we realise.. no matter what.. even without cancer he was waiting to explode and go down this road.. Heisenberg is his destiny waiting to happen all along ! Cancer was just a catalyst.. any such catalyst would have turned him the exact same.
The genius of this episode was how they lull you into a fun heist episode, then BAM! They hit you with the horrible consequences of this dirty business. Kind of brilliant.
Many kids in the western US get dirt bikes or three wheelers. Therre's a lot of land out here that isn't privately owned, which means it's public land and can be used for any non-commercial purpose. Meaning you can't graze cattle on it or plant crops, but you could film on it. We lived in the suburbs, but there was a huge field that ran along the river that was all public land. We'd get home from school (at age 14 or so), and ride three-wheelers all over it for hours every night. Sometimes a parent would come with us, but usually not. This was mid-80's. We even rode them to school on the last day of Jr. high. We had to go on the surface streets for a few minutes to do it, but no one called the cops on us. Once we got there, we gave teachers rides back through the "clay gullies" behind the school.
Walt is basically the devil on Jesses shoulder toward the end, when hes trying to convince him to stay. "Dont sell out.. You could make hundreds of millions if you stay..." Then trying to reminisce on the 'good times' together.
While Walt definitely didn't care about the child death as much as he should, he still doesn't like Todd, but it's true that killing Todd or firing him wasn't going to work out, both him and Mike were being pragmatic.
Walt is only tough when he has a guarantee of safety. When Mike has the gun to his head, he KNOWS Jesse won’t let Mike do anything. In other situations, he crumbles like a paper man.
Yeah I think at this point most people feel for Skylar, at least I did. Even if I didn’t love her at the beginning, she really doesn’t deserve any of this. Walt’s a monster
"What kind of spoiled child gets a dirt bike" Madam, you live in an age where children are given whole-ass computers at very young ages, what do you mean lol
How is bugging the DEA office a new low even for Walt, lol?? That's like the least horrible thing he's ever done. If anything, its just reckless. He could get caught by doing it.
“What kind of spoiled child gets a dirt bike?” … *raises hand* My whole family is into dirt bikes. I would ride with my dad since very young. I got a small one of my own at 8, about the same size as the one shown here.
Todd is a really odd and interesting character. He's a really terrible human being, and yet he's so polite and well-mannered that you believe that if he'd grown up in a different situation, he might've turned out okay. As it is....
Todd is nowhere near Micah. Micah was a sadistic monster who manipulated everyone he could for his own personal gains. With Todd, he has the mind of basically a kid with no regrets for his actions. He never takes pleasure in crime, he just does it. Everything he does is to please someone else. Todd fits nobody in Red Dead.
Walt using Lydia to get methylamine and arguing with Mike to go for P2P cook or even defending Todd is Walt being greedy. But I think when Walt was holding then at the heist it was his perfectionism - if weight was off because of incomplete pumping, someone would have noticed.
People like to really deep dive into why people hate skylar but I really think its as simple as walt is the vast majority of the entertainment the show revolves around him in the meth business and skylar is a big obstacle in that in a way that isn't really entertaining vs hank also being an obstacle but in a way that is very entertaining
about spiders... same feeling i thought i was the only weirdo that was more scared over spiders than tarantulas...which also freak me out but at a less extent
I love the writing. Little gems and all. I just noticed for the first time ever the significance of Mike saying at the beginning "There are two kinds of jobs. The ones you get away with. And the ones who leave witnesses." That poor tarantula saw everything. And they let IT live. Screw Tod
It's amazing the level of hatred this chick has for Walt. Mike, Skyler, Hank, and Jesse are angels as far as she's concerned, but Walt alone is the devil. Every character on this show other than the kids is a scumbag.
Fun fact - hydrochloric acid is readily available by the gallon at Lowes! It's commonly used to balance the pH of swimming pools. So getting a bunch would be easy! The real issue is that you can't actually make bodies 'disappear' in acid like you see in the show.
Ph. D. Chemist here. It’s not hydrochloric acid; it’s hydrofluoric acid. Hydrochloric acid wouldn’t dissolve any of that. Hydrofluoric acid will dissolve metal, rocks, and bones though. I don’t think it would do anything to rubber tires though. I’ve always said the least realistic aspect of this show would be a high school chemistry lab having a supply of hydrofluoric acid. I work at a university and we don’t even have a supply of hydrofluoric acid. Far too dangerous.
18:23 "He's getting greedy." No, not in this case. The problem is that the water and methylamine have different densities, so they calculated how late they needed to start adding water so its added weight when they were finished emptying the methylamine would equal the weight of the methylamine they had taken -- but if they now stop early, the train will be underweight and the weighing station will notice they've been robbed.
38:50 this part always made me laugh, you could snap cable ties like that so easily if you just keep spinning around and twist them they would eventually stretch and snap. He has all the time in the world and goes the electric route lol
Todds logic was solid from his dumbass point of view right up until you realize that the train was already gone by the time the kid pulled up all he saw was 3 old dudes with a hose under some random bridge he wouldn't have known they were up to no good the tanks were buried. Plus lets say the kid scoots off to tell his mom he was 3 dudes with a hose in the desert she'd just go oh thats nice sweetie and give him a juice box or something
@@DamienLance That's exactly what a psychopath is, they feel nothing. Sociopaths on the other hand actually can feel some remorse, it's very little, but it's there.
Yes, Todd is a psychopath. And the brilliance of Breaking Bad is that whenever Walter gets more evil and the audience may turn against him, they introduce somebody even more evil to keep you on Walter's side.
I find it funny that you think Walt is being greedy and focusing on himself - he’s not. When you said that, he was in the middle of replacing the missing methylamine with water, which saves all their butts from being caught later.
I dont know if you know this, but the actor who plays Mike, Jonathan Banks, does the voice for Commissioner Gordon in the Batman: Arkham Knight video game
Little spiders vs tarantulas is so real. The little ones are scary because they’re so fast and you can’t always see where they are. Tarantulas are just big slow guys
I sort of sympathize with Walt. I'm not sure what I'd do if I lost billions in net worth because I sold some stock too early for chump change. Millions in losses might be survivable (though still hard to forgive one's self) but billions can literally drive a person crazy and desperate to regain that lost wealth by whatever means imaginable.

The song Walt was whistling was "Lily of the Valley" by Johnny Cash, the same flower he used to poison Brock
Johnny Cash? It's an old Christian hymn written by William Charles Fry in the 19th century.
Google wins again!
Here's what I don't get, why did Walt tell Saul to have Huel lift the ricin cigarette from Jessie if he poisoned Brock with lily of the valley?
@@DaneelGiskard-f8d Because he needed Jesse to believe that Gus had taken the ricin from him and poisoned Brock. That was the whole point of the plan.

@@c0smo263 But he fixed the spelling, so it's all good (though you can just edit the original post to fix things like that).
When Walter is whistling in "buyout" the song he's whistling is called Lily of the Valley
Fun fact: the song Walt was whistling is called "Lilly of the Valley", like the plant he poisoned Brock with
Todd's just built different. Can't reason with someone like him or his ilk. Jesse Plemons is great at playing him.
“What kind of spoiled child gets a dirt bike?”
Bruh lots of kids get dirt bikes. They’re not that expensive
I love Todd, he's such a freak. His face never really changes expression no matter what he's doing 😂
Walt is basically the devil on Jesses shoulder toward the end, when hes trying to convince him to stay. "Dont sell out.. You could make hundreds of millions if you stay..." Then trying to reminisce on the 'good times' together.
While Walt definitely didn't care about the child death as much as he should, he still doesn't like Todd, but it's true that killing Todd or firing him wasn't going to work out, both him and Mike were being pragmatic.
30:00 Mike’s deadpan and blunt sarcasm is just brilliant 😂😂
Walt is only tough when he has a guarantee of safety. When Mike has the gun to his head, he KNOWS Jesse won’t let Mike do anything. In other situations, he crumbles like a paper man.
Yeah I think at this point most people feel for Skylar, at least I did. Even if I didn’t love her at the beginning, she really doesn’t deserve any of this. Walt’s a monster
Ok pseudo moralist
But did you see the veggie bacon ?????? 😡😡😡😡😡
"What kind of spoiled child gets a dirt bike" Madam, you live in an age where children are given whole-ass computers at very young ages, what do you mean lol
How is bugging the DEA office a new low even for Walt, lol?? That's like the least horrible thing he's ever done. If anything, its just reckless. He could get caught by doing it.
At last: we have come to the beginning of the end......starting with the next two episodes! Can't wait!
Todd is a verifiable psychopath😂
“What kind of spoiled child gets a dirt bike?” … *raises hand*
My whole family is into dirt bikes. I would ride with my dad since very young. I got a small one of my own at 8, about the same size as the one shown here.
Todd is a really odd and interesting character. He's a really terrible human being, and yet he's so polite and well-mannered that you believe that if he'd grown up in a different situation, he might've turned out okay. As it is....
Walt becomes a lot like Gustavo fring after the episode“face off”. Dealing with his employees and having the final say.
I still remember how shocked I was when I first saw Todd shoot the kid. I just sat there, stunned for a few minutes.
This is like Red Dead 2. Walt is Dutch, Mike is Arthur, Jesse is John, and Todd is Micah.
Todd is nowhere near Micah. Micah was a sadistic monster who manipulated everyone he could for his own personal gains. With Todd, he has the mind of basically a kid with no regrets for his actions. He never takes pleasure in crime, he just does it. Everything he does is to please someone else.
Todd fits nobody in Red Dead.
Todd shooting is one of the biggest surprises I’ve seen on screen. Loved your comment on the war with china being the next arc 👏
Todd really did that...
I love the heat refference, because in the opening scene of that movie they pull of a heist, kill all the witnesses, and still get caught lol.
what tod did was keeping the direction walt gave, no one can know about this robery but us, tod did his job ,no lose ends.
i just can't wait to watch your reaction on the next ep. It's insane. Every ep is a masterpiece from this point, for real
Todd is... devoid of moral, and that makes him the most frightening character in Breaking Bad.
One of the top 10 episodes of the show. Fraking Todd is just the worst.
Walt using Lydia to get methylamine and arguing with Mike to go for P2P cook or even defending Todd is Walt being greedy. But I think when Walt was holding then at the heist it was his perfectionism - if weight was off because of incomplete pumping, someone would have noticed.
People like to really deep dive into why people hate skylar but I really think its as simple as walt is the vast majority of the entertainment the show revolves around him in the meth business and skylar is a big obstacle in that in a way that isn't really entertaining vs hank also being an obstacle but in a way that is very entertaining
about spiders... same feeling i thought i was the only weirdo that was more scared over spiders than tarantulas...which also freak me out but at a less extent
They're all disgusting creatures
I love the writing. Little gems and all. I just noticed for the first time ever the significance of Mike saying at the beginning "There are two kinds of jobs. The ones you get away with. And the ones who leave witnesses."
That poor tarantula saw everything. And they let IT live. Screw Tod
It's amazing the level of hatred this chick has for Walt. Mike, Skyler, Hank, and Jesse are angels as far as she's concerned, but Walt alone is the devil. Every character on this show other than the kids is a scumbag.
Breaking Bad is one of the several
best TV shows that I've ever seen.
💖📺📺📺💖
Fun fact - hydrochloric acid is readily available by the gallon at Lowes! It's commonly used to balance the pH of swimming pools. So getting a bunch would be easy! The real issue is that you can't actually make bodies 'disappear' in acid like you see in the show.
Ph. D. Chemist here. It’s not hydrochloric acid; it’s hydrofluoric acid. Hydrochloric acid wouldn’t dissolve any of that. Hydrofluoric acid will dissolve metal, rocks, and bones though. I don’t think it would do anything to rubber tires though.
I’ve always said the least realistic aspect of this show would be a high school chemistry lab having a supply of hydrofluoric acid. I work at a university and we don’t even have a supply of hydrofluoric acid. Far too dangerous.
18:23 "He's getting greedy." No, not in this case. The problem is that the water and methylamine have different densities, so they calculated how late they needed to start adding water so its added weight when they were finished emptying the methylamine would equal the weight of the methylamine they had taken -- but if they now stop early, the train will be underweight and the weighing station will notice they've been robbed.
38:50 this part always made me laugh, you could snap cable ties like that so easily if you just keep spinning around and twist them they would eventually stretch and snap. He has all the time in the world and goes the electric route lol
Todds logic was solid from his dumbass point of view right up until you realize that the train was already gone by the time the kid pulled up all he saw was 3 old dudes with a hose under some random bridge he wouldn't have known they were up to no good the tanks were buried. Plus lets say the kid scoots off to tell his mom he was 3 dudes with a hose in the desert she'd just go oh thats nice sweetie and give him a juice box or something
All that time during the train heist, V worried they were going to screw Todd over.
Beware working with sociopaths.
Todd is a pure psychopath. He resembles one very well in this show. He is actually more scarier than the other villains in this show, in my opinion.
I feel like it's more sociopathic, like he isn't taking enjoyment out of killing a child, he sees it as nothing.
@@DamienLance That's exactly what a psychopath is, they feel nothing. Sociopaths on the other hand actually can feel some remorse, it's very little, but it's there.
What sort of maniac strokes a Tarantula.
What shocked me to the same level at the same of the kid’s death, was when Walt started to whistle while he was dissolving the kid’s body.
Walts stare at 6:16 is wild.
Yes, Todd is a psychopath. And the brilliance of Breaking Bad is that whenever Walter gets more evil and the audience may turn against him, they introduce somebody even more evil to keep you on Walter's side.
I find it funny that you think Walt is being greedy and focusing on himself - he’s not. When you said that, he was in the middle of replacing the missing methylamine with water, which saves all their butts from being caught later.
Yeah... Todd is a sociopath with no soul. And the scary thing is there are people like that irl
Well... everyone has a soul, technically.
The use of the train whistle at the start is so clever in terms of foreshadowing
I dont know if you know this, but the actor who plays Mike, Jonathan Banks, does the voice for Commissioner Gordon in the Batman: Arkham Knight video game
Little spiders vs tarantulas is so real. The little ones are scary because they’re so fast and you can’t always see where they are. Tarantulas are just big slow guys
I sort of sympathize with Walt. I'm not sure what I'd do if I lost billions in net worth because I sold some stock too early for chump change. Millions in losses might be survivable (though still hard to forgive one's self) but billions can literally drive a person crazy and desperate to regain that lost wealth by whatever means imaginable.
When I saw this the first time, I was fine. Seeing how it affected Vicky though, I got a little choked up. Dammit, Todd! 😅
I have to give credit where credit is due, your english has become remarkably better. I am not an active watcher, but I think I watched some of your videos earlier, like a year ago or something, and you had the russian accent, but now I can´t tell you are russian or Ukranian or whatever. So good on you, for being able to speak such clear english.
"She has all the leverage." I can't with this anymore. I've tried to ignore everything else up to this point but I've finally been broken.
I love seeing people reactions and questions when n they think it’s ’unrealistic’ when this explains explains exactly how this world works and how they think, it’s crazy, but very very real
Oh, Sweet Summer Child. To think Todd might be the victim here...
29:00 Walt, turning off the TV reminds me of the shooting.
it's always when i'm about to go somewhere she posts😭
Right? Im rushing home I told my boss I threw up. Going 60 in a 35
You joke about the baby and an Oscar, but the baby does have an Oscar-worthy performance later.
