How the writers create such a tense episode with the audience knowing that the two leads are gonna make it out alive, I have no idea. The creators are truly masters at their craft.
because you don't know "how" they managed to do it
@@Kriae brilliant response fr fr
“I will die knowing I did everything I could for them.” Makes Mike abandoning Kaylee before he died even more painful.
pain
Fuck Walter and I mean that in the best way possible in terms of a compelling narrative with compelling characters.
Walter was pure evil towards the end
Tbh I really think Mike might have some trust fund thing for Kaylee as I am pretty sure he must've made a millions before the events of Breaking Bad while working for Gus.
@@aryanverma8344 I’m pretty sure that trust fund was what was seized by the DEA when they found the account numbers of the Madrigal employees.
Saul, during last episode: I'M A GOD IN HUMAN CLOTHING! LIGHTNING BOLTS SHOOT FROM MY FINGER TIPS!
Saul, this episode: *drinks own pee from a Davis & Main bottle*
By reading this comment i could visualise the Meme ... A Macho Cheems on the left and a Cowardly Cheems on next pic
BWWWWWHAHAHAH!!!
Zeus turned into a goose and seduced a human woman. He would totally drink his own piss. That God’s a freak.
love it. This show is just poetry
How quickly a man can be humbled.
They shot this episode in 18 days when normally they only get nine days to shoot each episode. It shows how dedicated the creators of this show really are to get the best stuff on television.
Really glad you guys mentioned the symbol's of Jimmy's life/identity being destroyed/left behind (the car, the mug, and the space blanket). One of my favorite aspects of an episode where every aspect is incredible.
Yeees. So glad Vince Gilligan's metaphores are getting through. The man is a master of his craft. And I will absolutely follow him to his next works after Better Call Saul. I think this show shows that he can absolutely find new amazing talent with actors, as every new character in this show were fantastic. And as much as it hurts to see these actors part ways, assuming this is the end for the Breaking Bad Universe, he has given me plenty of reason to expect great works of art from him in the future
me when I watched the episode: "oh no how is he going to drink now"
This episode was directed by Vince. Such a genius
@Emcee Cr Nobody's salty. It's a funny meme, but it's true, Vince is one of the best in the industry. Bravo Vince
The way Lalo says "So you're his wife...and you love him" is like he's figuring out a riddle when it's just basic human emotion is so good. He's normally so good at acting affable and friendly that in the moments where he shows his true sociopath side, its really effective
"And you're gonna brush your teeth before you kiss her" lmao. Too funny.
Once you're in, urine.
As the episode was ending, I was scrolling through the comments. Came across this one the *moment* Lola said it haha
"Bagman" is legendary. The next episode, though. _My goodness._ I have literally never been more clenched.
I am honestly a little worried if these two are going to make it through the next ep. OK.
seriously, first time seeing that, i hadn't felt like i was going to throw up watching a TV show since crawlspace. i was TERRIFIED i was about to see [CHARACTER] die.
Tell me again...
Next episode is top 10 episodes in television of all time
Losing the Suzuki Esteem was more emotional for me than the RV.
This episode is directed masterfully
That revolver they specifically shown used by the person before revealing it was mike, is the gun Mike used to kill Ziegler. Also the same gun Walt used to kill Mike. Werner Ziegler's name originated from Werner Heisenberg, full circle.
Mike can't escape German lol
Damnnn...
Every time one of you calls a plot point before it happens I think of Jeff Goldblum’s line in Jurassic Park “boy do I hate being right all the time.” Love it, top tier commentary 🤌🏻
That's not uh.. an ongoing problem. Nor should it, of course. Great insight on characters though.
Vince had stepped away from the show for a bit, partly to shoot El Camino, but this marked his return as director. He and Michelle McLaren are my favorite directors in the BB/BCS universe.
Even Thomas directs the best episodes
“The alternator’s shot. Literally.” Like Jimmy’s alternating personas with Saul.
There's countless reasons why Bagman is regarded as one of the best of the Breaking Bad universe. Nonetheless, I have to highlight the cinematography. Alongside the scenes showcasing the beautiful desolation of the New Mexico desert, and of course the visual storytelling in the action sequences, the interior sequences are stunning as well. Just look at the lighting when Kim says "I don't want you to do it". Vince Gilligan has gone on record as saying that this was the hardest episode of either series to shoot thus far. With him back in the writers room for the upcoming final season, and Rhea Seehorn promising that it's "going to be chaos", I simply cannot fathom what's going to come. For as utterly heartbroken as I am that the Breaking Bad universe will have it's final curtain call soon, it's eclipsed by how grateful I am that it exists to begin with.
What lightning?
Jimmy finally gets reception on the phone only to hear Howard asking about the job
29:35 Fun Fact: There was a real stunt person in that car
At 36:08 Lola asks "Who?" (were the men in the desert that were robbing Saul). Lola was talking and missed the man at the stash house (9:44) who picked up a phone and made a call after the Salamanca twins left with the $7 million. Inside job.
Even if she didn't miss the phone call, it's so easy to just forget about it. I certainly did ony first watch. Didn't think about it until it was brought up next episode.
They are constantly talking over important plot points and funny dialog
@@One_Eleven111yeah I love these two but they should at least pause the video while talking instead of talking over dialogues.
S2E7 - Jimmy taking the piss out of Davis and Main.
S5E8 - Jimmy taking the Piss out of Davis and Main.
Not sure if anyone noticed, but one of the twins dropped a bundle of cash in the vault scene, kind of like how he drops the bullet in "One Minute" that Hank uses to blow his head off.
He's the clumsy one lol
Holy shit this writers
Holy shit I never realized that the reason Jimmy turned down the space blanket was because of Chuck. Great insight.
It makes the final moment where he dons the space blanket to finally get the guy chasing them killed is even more meaningful. Saul is who he is, and as powerful as he is, because of Chuck.
This episode was so good. Season 5 keeps getting better each episode. God the detailing they do in storytelling is just insane.
vince peter you're on fucking drugs" lmaoo
While the Esteem wasn’t as memorable or significant as The RV, it served its role well and will be missed. Hail Fellow Well Met 😢
The Esteem getting destroyed always hurts me as my mom owns one.. But their analogy on it is so true.
The symbolism of Jimmy's death there with the cab was just like crawl space of Walt.
Weird how iconic & character defining the vehicles of BB & BCS have been. Jimmy's Esteem with the mismatched door, contrasted with Saul's "LWYRUP" white Cadillac, Jesse's flashy bouncing Monte Carlo lowrider with the license plate referencing his meth-cooking nickname, soon replaced with the anonymous compact shitbox with peeling weatherstripping in an early sign of Jesse smartening up & growing as a character, Walt's Pontiac Aztec, eventually replaced with the Chrysler 300 SRT-8 in a late sign of him giving into greed & corruption and maybe starting to get a little stupid, as even Gus's boring 12 year old Volvo is the perfect example of him "hiding in plain sight" that Walter ultimately fails to live up to with his Chrysler.
better call saul just get better and better ... like breaking bad every season better than previous! cant wait season 6 it will blow people mind Vince Gilligan is a genius , best tv show of all time Breaking Bad , best Spin of of all time Better Call Saul , that season 6 Tony Dalton says that out of control what this guys wrot
'Chicanery' (the famous courtroom ep in which Chuck loses to Kim and Jimmy) aired on the 8th of May 2017, and it was my favourite episode for nearly three years. I never ever thought they'd be able to top that one. Then, on the 6th of April 2020, this one happened.
The next one is even better
I’m really excited to see how they finish off the final season
"It's apple juice, it's apple juice..." Lmao... :-)
This is so the best episode of the series in my opinion. It's been great so far before this, and the next couple episodes are great as well. But this one with Mike and Jimmy walking back is just pure gold, not to mention the awesome Kim and Lalo scenes.
I have waited for this episode since the series started 😁
Not seen the episode yet, just enjoying the discussion at the start. However I disagree with Milena saying Saul wasn't that bad of a guy in BB. Sure he drew the line with Walt and the ricin stuff about Brock; but everything else was fair game for him. He was still happy tampering evidence, money laundering, helping setup drug labs, and putting ideas in Walt's head about murder. That's all pretty dark stuff, and I think that's what we might see him do with the cab driver from ABQ in the black and white segments; that murder might be the final line he crosses to become overwhelmingly corrupt.
i feel like people always forget that one of the first things Saul suggest to Walter is to murder Badger lol
I agree: Saul was barely a sweet and noble victim in BrBa. He suggested sending Hank to Belize, giving Jesse the Old Yeller treatment, capitalised on the plane crash...
He’s also an accomplice to countless other crimes as well, I feel like Saul in BB was basically the veterinarian from BCS. Sure his main income was from his law knowledge, but he’s also a connected guy, need a guy to threaten Ted? Better call Saul, need a guy to go to jail in your place, better call Saul, need a hitman, better call Saul!
@@basstian the last one is not that bad
@@vincentw3566 Well... that's being a bit of an ambulance chaser, which is not quite the same as coldly suggesting murdering a friend or (in-law) relative, so I guess I agree.
have been looking forward to your reaction to this episode since the very beginning and you didn't disappoint! this is one of my favorite episodes of TV of all time. the symbolism ALONG WITH and not in spite of the level of action is superb. the esteem, the cup, the space blanket, the piss in the davis and main bottle. mike's speech, kim's meeting with lalo, jimmy's PTSD. it's a perfect episode. ... and i had a feeling you guys would get teary-eyed watching it too haha.
RIP Esteem! A true hero of the show!
Someone clearly spilled grape jelly in their car at the beginning; it was nice of those guys to help clean it up.
This is my favorite episode in the whole show. It seems heavily inspired by the classic Sopranos episode, "Pine Barrens" where Chris and Paulie are lost in the woods during the winter and have to find their way back home. Like you said, it's similar to the Breaking Bad episode, "4 Days Out" where Walt and Jesse are stuck in the dessert. Only difference is they had an RV at least to rest in. Saul and Mike are hitch hiking the whole way back with two 125 pound bags. This episode essentially cements the relationship between Saul and Mike.
one of my favorite little lines in this episode is lalo's "you'll meet my cousins. you'll like them, they're good boys!" what kind of psychopath calls the twins "good boys" and means it?
I don't know why, but for some reason the Lalo/Kim scene is easily one of my favorite scenes in the show. Something about how Lalo says "and you...? looove him..." is super charming. It shows that Lalo likes to solve a puzzle, and until that very moment he didn't understand what was going on, but after that moment he realized that she was there out of love which made Lalo smile because such a thing is rare to encounter in his line of work.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Goodman"
Oooooooh boy
Y’all are really good at analyzing episodes. I learn more stuff from watching ur reactions.
Feels like this have been coming out one after another..!! Can't believe you're about to catch up, love this episodes so much.
Omg im so invested in this rn
The space blanket left such an impression on me. When Mike put it on, my mind immediately went there and Saul looking at Mike in disgust when he put it on was so good. This was literally on par with the better episodes on Breaking Bad and that's the first time I felt like that. Best episode yet. It's funny, I watched Breaking Bad long, long before these girls but I'm watching BCS now. I watched it yeaaaars ago but never finished it but I'm absolutely confident this is beyond what I watched because I would definitely have remembered this one
“And you’re gonna brush your teeth before you kiss her” lol
This is an awesome episode. Especially the ending when the truck tumbling
I was so caught off guard by this upload, it's been a day after the usual for a couple episodes now
" And you're gonna brush your teeth before you kiss her." 🤣
I've been waiting for this one.
AMIGO DEL CARTEL, dejavú Breaking Bad, en su primera aparición con Walter y Jesse
Alguien que habla español XD.
When they pushed the car in the ditch I got reminded of the RV episode of bb 3x6 in both of these episode it felt like a character was dying 😔
I love that you get so emotional watching BCS (or any show for that matter). Can't wait for next season so we can all suffer together watching this masterpiece of a series.
i love your reactions
Idk about u guys, but when i realized Jimmy's pee was in the bottle that said "Davis and Main" i lost it lmaoo i laughed so hard
That was definitely on purpose lmao
Lola: I hate when Mike starts killiing.
Also Lola: Let's kill him and take his car.
I'm glad your pumping out better call soul episodes faster
Such a great episode!!😊
It’s just something bout these episode stranded in the desert that I love. 4 days out was my favourite episode from BB and this is one of my favourites too
13:16 famous last words 💀
21:41 - how the f You guessed that xD
"imagine it's kim" (saving jimmy) haha.
Only two episodes left 🥺. Well until season 6 comes out 😁. What a ride 🎢
We will all be reacting in sync every night, so excited
I cannot wait to see your reaction for the next episode.
I can't even imagine hiking through a burning desert in business apparel.
Mike was able to buy them that house earlier on in the series. It's something. At least that's what I remind myself of so I don't get too sad :(
My top 2 episode of this show, my fav line:
"I have people waiting for me." - Mike
Plz the next one has to be in 1080p :(
*best episode of the series*
I want to see their reactions to tue bew aot episode. The best so far
next one will be the best of all time
Mike says his people will never know what he does. They are protected. Jimmy told his people what he does. Presumably they are now not protected. Also both the Salamanca AND Fring will know.
*Great episode.*
I'm sooooo extremely happy you guys realized that Mike did EVERYTHING for his family, for Walter to fucked his plans.... all the things that Mike did, gone. Worth nothing.
He got her that beautiful house and a car and plenty of cash over the next 5 years before Walt flips out.
I understand that Walt killed Mike. But how did he mess up his money? In the Gus case, Walter was just acting in self defense of Jesse, Hank, and his whole family on multiple occasions. Most of Walter's moves against Gus were to protect somebody else. Then, when Mike lost his money the 2nd time, it was because he trusted a non-Saul lawyer, which got caught and snitched on Mike, he failed to vet that guy. You could say he never had an opportunity to make that money back because of Walt sure, but he didn't mess everything up. Also I may be wrong but I think Jesse would send money to their family at the end of El Camino but maybe that was just Brock idk.
@@b.ballooon9225 If you think that Walter did any of the things that he did to protect anyone other than himself you and I understood the show differently. It wasn't until the very very veeeery end that he realized he did everything because he wanted to, because he liked it. And you are wrong, Jesse sent Brock a letter. To this day we don't know what ended up happening with Kaylee and her mom. All we know is that the feds grabbed that money.
@@gerardfonz Thank goodness for that
@Emcee Cr idk why people keep saying that when it was stated that Jesse wanted to take care of Brock
Lol I can't believe you didn't realize it's gonna be Mike
omg that jacket, or hoodie - fuckin amazing
15:32 now all I can think of is Kim with a sniper lool
10:10 Lalo: "You're NOBODY"
😳
Nobody should get an Emmy right now. He managed to portray Saul and Lalo at the same time. Incredible.
Well, at least Mike tried. Now his grandchild has an opportunity to try without help. I'm sorry it took me this long to see your orange crush shoes.
I love your videos but why are they sometimes only 720p (like this one)?
Can someone make the highlight with time stamp like in AOT reaction, it will be so usefull
I remember in the Avatar desert episode Lola said that she would drink her own pee
It's a story about two people out in the world. How far will they go and still trust each other? I hope you two could survive a trip through the desert.
Mike's granddaughter took the money Jesse left her! So it was not for nothing, Mike got his justice!
Jesse never left it to her; Saul talked him out of it by explaining (quite correctly) that with the Feds keeping such a close eye, there's no way they could possibly get the money to her or her mother without the Feds seizing it. All of Jesse's money was seized by the Feds after he had his mental breakdown and tried to give it all away by tossing it out his car window. In El Camino he manages to end up with all of Todd's share of the 12 million of Walt's fortune that the Neo-Nazis stole from Walt, but he needed a good chunk of that to pay Ed The Disappearer to get him to Alaska, and if there's any left over that he wants to give away, his first priority would probably be to try to get it to Brock.
Kim is the final boss right????? No one is saying it…..
28:20 Yeah pretty much
Next episode is a 11/10, and the one after that
Notice the colour of their lights. Jimmy's colour this entire series has been "gold" because he's about "just making money" and Mike's colour is "green" because that was Walt's colour.
7000000 dollars would weigh 70 kilos or 154 pounds. Impossible for anyone but a literal strong man competitor to carry over a long distance.
i always laugh when people make fun of Jimmy about this.... like go ahead... carry that shit on your own, no carry that shit in a dessert... obviously jimmy wanted to take the easy way out as he usually does but in this case who the fuck wouldn't?
26:05 how is it possible there is no reception? :D theyre in a desert. when i was in america, I had no reception in MOST OF AMERICA. Only in big cities :D
"What is this episode? Are they good?"
AOT 4×19 now!!!!
Been waiting for your aot reaction since it dropped aaa
me too
me too
O próximo episódio é tão bom quanto esse
iii ala outro br
Just a lonely Saul…..slowly dying…..
DON'T! FUCK! WITH! MIKE! 😆 I liked when Milena said what if it's Kim shooting the bad guys? 😂 Yeah I can just see Kim in her suit and heels walking toward Jimmy with a sniper gun. Gee Kim, didn't know this side of you 😆. This video was brought to you by Piss. You in the middle of the desert and have no water? There's only one thing that can save you: Your own Piss. Not Apple Juice, you're own Piss. Urine need it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love you Milena and Lola.
Honestly, after mulitple rewatches, I can safely say BCS > BB. Also, I would love it if you watch The Sopranos.
Judge better call saul after season 6.
brace yourself for the last 2 episodes ladies
My only issue with this episode is how did Mike get to the desert? He must have driven, thus he must have a car.
So, why didn't Mike take Jimmy back to HIS car? How explanation is that Mike was worried for some reason to go back to his car.
Mike drove a pick-up truck, and it sustained damage in the shootout, so they took Saul's car (until it conked out, too).
Also, there’s a scene where Mike opens the gas cap since he most likely placed a tracker to track Jimmy (think back when Mike was getting tracked in Season 3).
This is the only thing that Kim has done that I think was just stupid. And it just so happens to be the most important thing ever.
I love this episode but I have never understood how the writers expected us to buy the fact that Mike took out all these guys. I mean there was about 60 seconds that elapsed from the time they stopped Jimmy and then decided to kill them. How is it possible that Mike was following them in his car (far enough away that they hadn’t noticed him), then saw that they had stopped Jimmy, and then got up to higher ground, unpacked his sniper rifle, and then started shooting people… All in about 60 seconds. I mean cmon guys.
It's already been established (well..., at least heavily implied in the scene where he goes shopping for sniper rifles from the gun dealer that will later sell Walt his snub nose 38) that Mike was a sniper in Vietnam. And while not yet explicitly mentioned on the show, Vince Gilligan has claimed that Mike's backstory was that he was actually Special Forces. I'd think if anyone could do what we saw in the ep it was an ex Special Forces vet with lots of real-world combat experience. (BTW, this would also mean that Mike probably had a history of coldly & dispassionately killing people long before he was even a corrupt cop getting vengeance on his son's murder, suggesting that the real reason he was so hesitant to accept hitman jobs from Nacho or Gus is that he knows how easy it would be for him to slip back into that mindset and become the contented Button Man/Fixer we meet in Breaking Bad.
@@briangonigal3974 that’s just an answer about Mike being a good sniper. That is not really the issue. The problem is that there is no realistic way he could have got to a position to be taking a shot in the 60seconds after Jimmy was stopped. I know everyone loves to defend every single thing that the writers do in this show as being meticulous/flawless - but that is just not the case here. It’s unrealistic.
After all of the trouble Lalo was causing Gus even from behind bars, Gus needed Lalo gone. Lalo loose is bad for Gus, so Gus also needed Lalo out of the US, as Gus cannot touch him in the US without starting a war with the cartel bosses.
Gus knows that the first thing Lalo will do is skip town and dip back to Mexico. Good.
Fleeing the US after being bailed out forfeits bail money.
The cartel would have to send someone new to oversee Salamanca family operations, unfortunately there's not many left, and deciding who would take time. Lalo would have to approve them, and the only other I know of would be a teen right now, the one Jessie shoots later in BB.
Gus also knows the amount of bail and how much it will hurt the Salamancas to be responsible for using that much cartel money to bail Lalo out. Also good for Gus.
So, Gus sent Mike to watch over the money exchange. If anything went bad, it would be on Gus, as it is in his territory. Seeing as how Jimmy was followed and attacked immediately after the hand off, and the phone call earlier, it suggests to me that the attackers could even be sent by the cartel to pop Jimmy, steal the money, and frame Gus, thereby destroying his reputation. The cartel would recover the seven million, and pretend they know nothing of killing Jimmy. Lalo would still be in jail, except now it would fall to Gus to make up the money the cartel "lost" out of his own pocket, to get Lalo out of jail for not ensuring everything went smoothly. Gus did not fall for it.
The Salamancas are nominally the ones in charge of that area due to family relations. Gus is subservient to them, in Don Eladio's eyes, as Gus's operation is less profitable. As shown a few times, Gus can outdo them occasionally, but really needs the lab running to make it an everyday occurrence, and then the Salamancas will be the underdogs with Gus in charge.
RIP Esteem
i want friends like them, bruh sad
