@ItsAPrimate Walter can blame Jesse all he wants for Hank's death. But who called Jack and his Neo-Nazi Gang in the first place? Walter always blamed others for his own actions and failures to justify his narcissistic egomania. Now his pride has costed him everything, including his family. Walter White is his own worst enemy.
Bryan Cranston pretending to be angry through tears to protect his wife and kids, knowing that he’s saying the worst and most hateful things ever and that there’s now ZERO chance of seeing his family ever again, at least in any kind of happy or positive way, is some of the absolute best acting I’ve ever seen.
Him and Walt Jr. Throughout all Breaking Bad, all of the characters have a Darkside of them. Hank despite being the hero; he has a tendency to go through punches very easily Marie is a clepto Skyler, she black mailed Ted and helped Walt with the money Jesse, he has done bad stuff (very few, but still bad things) Mike worked with Gus Saul is the criminal Lawyer Only Gomez and Walt Jr. have a clear conscious
Walter Jr. had to be forcibly removed from Dennys all you can eat breakfast buffet after going through 3 chafing dishes of scrambled eggs and bacon. He was later found with 30 stolen boxes of Raisin Bran Crunch.
@@spunkymaniac9312 he didn't really lie as much as he convinced him to let him look around really quick. cause if they did end up getting a warrant they would've been way, way more thorough. they'd have found the lab.
Anna Gunn really did her thing too. She was so in the character and the emotions that the scene where she’s running after Holly, after the director said ‘cut’ she stay kneeling down and crying. And the director goes to comfort her. I saw this on behind the scenes footage.
So true. She deserves all the praise for her acting & its sad idiot fanboys couldn't differentiate reality from fiction. The hate she received was crazy.
Shoutout to holly for killing it with the acting in this episode. The scene where she is with walt and says "mama" were actually her first words and her real mother was there on set tearing up. If you watch closely you can see Brian Cranston being moved at that exact moment but he kept going with the acting and the director decided to use this take for obvious reasons.
I feel stupid not paying more attention to the pain in his face. At first I thought he just wanted everyone to fear him & embraced the monster, but him clearing his wife makes more sense.
“I watched Jane die” I had the exact same reaction as you when I first heard that. He blamed Jesse for Hank’s death and just wanted to hurt him in the worst way possible. Meanwhile Walt literally dug Hank’s grave himself.
This is the reaction I've been waiting for since episode 1. Simply a television masterpiece, and kudos to the actors who delivered such flawless performances. Both Anna (Skyler) and Bryan (Walt) got an Emmy for this episode. Hell, even the baby is a great actress. I'm happy you finally got to see this, but sad the show is coming to an end.
No other actor couldve played Walter White. Bryan Cranston is masterful through the entire show, but especially during the phone call with Skyler in this episode. How vocally he sounds like such an evil monster, but visually you can see him crying and how heart broken he is for everything thats happened. Soooo amazing!
RJ Mitte doesn’t get enough credit. I guess it’s kind of hard to stand out with such talented cast but he really brought some emotional depth to Walt Jr. in this one. From being upset with Marie and Skyler to jumping on Walt to create a barrier between him and Skyler, he really displayed so many different emotions. He was on par with Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn during that fight scene.
I like how one reviewer called it an episode of reactions, seeing each character going through their lowest points while actors perfectly use that space to deliver some of the peak performances in the show, that's what makes this episode so emotionally devastating, and in a way, different from other ones
Fun fact: Holly saying “Mama” is unscripted. The baby’s mother was standing behind Bryan Cranston to keep the baby’s focus. You know it’s an incredible TV show and the best episode of it when even the baby improvs.
How can this episode still get me after so many years? Goosebumps, tears even when I just watch your reaction... because this is it, best episode of the best show ever! How could you keep your posture watching this? Walts phone call gets me, when he does everything to free Skyler of suspicions, the again when we see Marys reaction. And then again when Holly sits in the fire truck, full of tears and hiding...
Once again, you knocked it out of the park. A few fun facts: when walt is rolling the barrel, he walks by his pants from episode 1 when they went flying off the rv. Love it. The taking holly scene was so emotional for Anna Gunn that they had to bring a therapist on set for her.
There are no words for how much l love this episode. I think I've memorized like 80% of the dialog at this point, LOL. An absolute masterpiece, start to finish.
This show is so phenomenal on every level and this episode just shows why. It’s absolutely incredible, on a level unlike anything I can think of. Pure perfection.
12:12 "Please Todd please let him go" I felt so bad when you got to this point. Every major villian in this show was a kind of evil. Tuco is straight up violent, Gus is calculating but still had some humanity by restricting using kids. Todd is the worst kind of evil; the kind that can carry out an evil act and remain apathetic regardless of who's the victim. So release Jesse? No man, he'll do whatever he wants/needs of him. Just brace yourself for the coming episodes regarding Jesse and Todd; enjoy buddy :)
Granite state is very underrated since it’s sandwiched between ozymandias and felina but to me it’s a great episode as well this stretch of 3 you can argue is the best of the show or final 3 of season 4
A lot of small details in this episode too. The shot with the phone and knife is incredible. And when Walt falls when he sees Hank killed, his head hits the ground and the earth literally cracks under his head, partially in reference to the “Ozymandias” poem the title was based on. Cranston did an excellent reading of the poem, it would be dope to see you react to that
Fun fact: The great Sir Anthony Hopkins AKA Hannibal Lecter in Silence of The Lambs who is a 2 time Academy Award Winner stated that Bryan Cranston’s acting in Breaking Bad is the greatest acting he’s ever seen.
Walter showed the last of his humanity here trying his hardest to save Hank. This episode hits so hard because even if you are rooting for Walter Hank is such a good character that you don't want him to die and you know that it can't be avoided. Walter giving the go ahead for Jesse to be tortured and then revealing that he let Jane die just to twist the knife is pretty much some of the most evil he does because he blames Jesse for Hanks death because he isn't ready to blame himself. Now he truly did loose his family and his empire both things he cared about. All he has left his his legacy and a barrel of money. Even though Tode is a nice guy he is still loyal to his uncels crew and isn't going to let Jesse go. If you think that being kept as a meth slave is better than dying the I guess he helped out that much.
Every since Walt and Jesse got involved with Tuco in S1 and then season after season, I've always knew it would come to a point where things would go so bad that everyone would get hurt, including Walter's family, but I hoped it wouldn't come to that. This episode delivers it bluntly and that's why it's the best episode in the series to me. (Crawl Space came close in that matter but Walter managed to defuse the situation and preserve Jesse and his family)
There's a very emotional behind the scenes clip of Anna Gunn (Skyler) breaking down on the scene in the street, and Rian Johnson (the director) consoling her. Greatest episode of TV. Period.
He's a great director, he just made awful decisions with the story for Last Jedi & Disney gave him way too much freedom with the story. Especially for a trilogy than he didn't start
You wanna talk about crazy changes from the early parts of the show? You remember that guy Tuco beat to death in the junkyard? That was supposed to be Jesse. The original season 1 finale was Jesse's death. Mike? He only exists because Bob Odenkirk (Saul) couldn't make it to film the season 2 finale, so they needed someone to show up for him. Gus? Didn't exist. Giancarlo Esposito's script didn't even give him a name, he was just "Chicken store manager". Giancarlo decided to linger in the background and stare at Walt like he knew something, and it was so captivating that the writers made him into a character.
Well the last one is slightly exaggerated, Giancarlo was cast as a minor villain I believe but played the part so well they gave him more to do in the few episodes he was in at the end of season 2, and he strong armed and negotiated his way into a "series regular" cast member position in season 3 when they only planed to have him in a few episodes at most. The rest is television history
@@TAG152gaming Not according to the man himself. According to Giancarlo, they wanted him to be a guest in 1, maybe 2 episodes, as "the manager of a chicken place". That was it.
@@Frostbite08 Wow that's fascinating! I wonder why Walt and Jesse were at Los Pollos originally, since in the final show they are there because Saul set them up to meet with Gus and buy the 42 pounds all at once. Maybe the writers originally planned to have "the chicken man" reject them because Jesse was late and high
@@TAG152gaming They were still there for that reason, it just would have been some new character they were trying to meet. They basically merged that character into Gus.
I love the next episode so much. Other people call it “the calm before the storm” but I call it “the bringing of the storm”, and in the best way. I know you will appreciate the way they can sway your emotions from an episode like this to feeling another kind of way in just one episode. Brilliant stuff.
Nothing can overcome Ozymandias. It's the best. But in my Top 10 Gilliverse Episodes. There are things like Bagman, Winner, Bad Choice Road and Saul ****.
Better Call Saul has crazy moments throughout the final season, but I don't think there's any episodes that are just 1 emotional bombshell after another for the whole episode like Ozymandias.
@@TAG152gaming Rock and Hard Place was such a crazy episode in BCS, from the very beginning. Also Plan and Execution is most memorable. Episodes are just perfect, they heavily connected to everything that storyplot was developing whole time, and how this is executed in my opinion was really good. I can agree, Ozymandias is way more emotional and probably still the best, but damn BCS is also good.
I remember Walt asking his mechanic when he sold his car for 50 dollars "name 1 thing in the world that is not negotiable?" Lol he really thought he could make a deal with people like Jack and Todd
This was the most perfect series that ever existed. I don't have words to express what I felt watching this episode. The date of the cycle is there, or what we see later is a fantastic conclusion, we can wait, but at the same time for the representation of all that is fatal to those who enter the path of evil, of traffic, of drugs and for those who They also surround us, such as police, family, children, innocent, random etc. R.I.P. Hank.
When walt is rolling his barrel in the desert the imagery of the shot and framing always reminds of a dung beetle rolling their big ball of dung as they walk and at this point walt essentially is a dung beetle who threw everything meaningful in his life away for that one precious ball of waste.
Walt definitely knew the cops were on the line and went out of his way to take credit for everything solely and say what he could to make it clear to the cops that Skylar wasn’t involved
Episode is named after a poem AMC used to hype up the 2nd half of the final season, read by Bryan Cranston over shots of New Mexico. Basically about a once great and terrifying King whose remaining sculpture is nearly entirely gone, eroded by the sands of time. Pretty stellar commercial, that made the year between feel that much longer.
I'm not a Walt apologist, but I do 100% believe that in that phone call he was trying to help Skyler. He knew that the cops were listening in and purposefully made it seem like he forced her to be involved to take the heat off of her and the family. This is a fantastic episode.
Holy shit, ive been waiting for this since episode 1. It feels like it has been forever, im a little sad to have it end but excited for whats to come🎉🎉 you bring me much joy and thank you for that
11:49 funny you mention those couple of words. The director of this episode, Rian Johnson, actually wrote and directed the mystery film with those words as its title.
Watching this the first time I thought they gonna kill jesse and after seeing that walt was looking at him I paused the episode and I startet to cry I love this series so much
Walter always told himself he did it for his family but now it has negatively effected his family, Hank is dead, and he has a small portion of his money left... wow
What a piece of art this is. Rian Johnson did a fantastic job directing it too (when he found out his name came up in the director's rotation for Ozymandius, he told all the other directors "I get to f the prom queen) 😂
17:10 FYI child who played Holly was calling her actual mother, who stayed few feet behind from Bryan Cranston. That was not supposed to happen and everyone wanted to take a break. But Bryan did not break character and played along.
Yea but Walt has been rationalizing his actions and finding ways to blame anyone and everyone but himself for the fallout of his own actions and choices for 5 straight seasons now. We see what happens when he can't find a way to put the blame on someone else after the plane crash, when he knows it's all his fault and he has a meltdown in the school gym in front everyone, trying desperately to convince everyone it's not that bad and they should move on, when really he's trying to convince himself.
Its not just about Hank. Its about Jesse's betrayal. Walt has spoken of Jesse's loyalty before and like trump, Walt's narcissism needs Jesse's loyalty.
These last few episodes are truly some of the best in TV history, everyone's acting is top notch and every episode is incredible! There's very little that can compare to the ending parts of this series.
Been waiting for this one! Hope your hearts doing alright! You can see Walt’s khaki pants from episode one while Walt is rolling the barrel through the desert! Also, man does Anna Gunn do such an EXTRAORDINARY job breaking down after Walt takes Holly. The entire cast gives some of, if not their best performances of the entire series.
@@vendimi9547 Very respectable opinion. But for me,Saul gone is the best episode I've ever seen (yes,even better than Ozymandias),I mean, it's still stuck in my head like 7 months after it aired,and probably will be for the next ten years or so lol
The most perfect episode of the most perfect show. Truly unbelievably masterful television. Someone sold their soul to make this TV show as good as it was.
Great video, man. Definitely my favorite episodes of the series. There are several actors here who displayed master-level performances... Brian especially. That scene where he calls Skylar and incriminates himself in order to protect her is just... absolutely heart-wrenching. You can *see* him acting tough and trying to be mean while his sorrow is bubbling just under the surface and bleeding through. Despite all of this, I still don't see Walt as an evil person. At least, no more evil than any of the other characters. He's just... a walking tragedy. A man too smart for his own good, who never gives up and lets his ego get in the way. He still does what he thinks is right... but you know what they say... "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
🔥🔥🔥 The acting performances alone between walt & skyler, junior & marie.....🔥🔥🔥I thought Jessie was a gonner when walt told on him hiding underneath the car. Primate you deserve a🍺 after all that.
I was lucky enough to watch this live when it originally aired. All the plot payoffs and the sheer escalation... To call it mind-blowing would be an understatement.
At this point in the episode (10:16 in this vid) Walt rolls his barrel of money past a dusty pair of pants lying in the sand. That’s the pair of pants we see flying from the first shot of the series… how the mighty Heisenberg has fallen

@ItsAPrimate
Walter can blame Jesse all he wants for Hank's death. But who called Jack and his Neo-Nazi Gang in the first place? Walter always blamed others for his own actions and failures to justify his narcissistic egomania. Now his pride has costed him everything, including his family. Walter White is his own worst enemy.
@@davidcase8635why did he have to call the nazi’s? Because Jesse snitched. Had Jesse not have joined hank, nothing would have happened
Last episode: "This can't get any worse."

It's stunning
On my first watch I was so mad at Walt but then I realized it was for the good
It's his ego. Even there he couldn't admit that things didn't go like he wanted and that he failed
This is why I love Bryan Cranston. He's fucking phenomenal.
@@onniruusunen9444 Not everything is about Walts ego. He obviously wanted to obsolve skyler from the blame for his actions
As Gomez's actor once said "Steve Gomez was the only character on Breaking Bad who never broke bad." R.I.P. Steve Gomez.
Him and Walt Jr.
Throughout all Breaking Bad, all of the characters have a Darkside of them.
Hank despite being the hero; he has a tendency to go through punches very easily
Marie is a clepto
Skyler, she black mailed Ted and helped Walt with the money
Jesse, he has done bad stuff (very few, but still bad things)
Mike worked with Gus
Saul is the criminal Lawyer
Only Gomez and Walt Jr. have a clear conscious

Oh Sweet Summer Child.

She won the Emmy for this episode, too.
she was the MVP of this show tbh

bravo vince he imparted his ethereal wisdom upon the child
Insane
Bullshit I can’t find info about that anywhere.
I know the mother was on set, but I've never heard it was the first words.
Walter did bail Skyler out during the phonecall on purpose. Good catch, not everyone realises it
i picked up on it the first time i don't know why others didn't get that
@@deluxereissue Sure. But it’s more fun to get it in their reaction, than for them to realise it after, when they read it in the comments
I feel stupid not paying more attention to the pain in his face. At first I thought he just wanted everyone to fear him & embraced the monster, but him clearing his wife makes more sense.
“I watched Jane die” I had the exact same reaction as you when I first heard that. He blamed Jesse for Hank’s death and just wanted to hurt him in the worst way possible. Meanwhile Walt literally dug Hank’s grave himself.
Man I never realized that. Walter dug Hank's grave with his own hands, crazy.
Waiting for this episode the past week has felt like an eternity
came here to say the same thing! so ready for this one
Had my phone next to me waiting for this noti
This is the reaction I've been waiting for since episode 1. Simply a television masterpiece, and kudos to the actors who delivered such flawless performances. Both Anna (Skyler) and Bryan (Walt) got an Emmy for this episode. Hell, even the baby is a great actress. I'm happy you finally got to see this, but sad the show is coming to an end.
No other actor couldve played Walter White. Bryan Cranston is masterful through the entire show, but especially during the phone call with Skyler in this episode. How vocally he sounds like such an evil monster, but visually you can see him crying and how heart broken he is for everything thats happened. Soooo amazing!
This episode was an acting masterclass from everyone. Walt, Jesse, Skylar, Hank, Junior, even Holly all had iconic performances.
RJ Mitte doesn’t get enough credit. I guess it’s kind of hard to stand out with such talented cast but he really brought some emotional depth to Walt Jr. in this one. From being upset with Marie and Skyler to jumping on Walt to create a barrier between him and Skyler, he really displayed so many different emotions. He was on par with Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn during that fight scene.
I had breakfast with him and we talked about these scenes. Incredible stuff.
This is when breakfast stopped hitting the same for Walt Jr
11:47 funny that you mentioned this. The director of this episode Rian Johnson also directed Knives Out
We’ve been watching Poker Face, which he also directed. It’s a really good show. Very entertaining.
Still the greatest ever episode of TV 10 years later. I highly doubt it'll ever be topped
There’s a video of Bryan Cranston reading the poem “Ozymandias” for the AMC preview for this episode. It’s pretty cool!
I like how one reviewer called it an episode of reactions, seeing each character going through their lowest points while actors perfectly use that space to deliver some of the peak performances in the show, that's what makes this episode so emotionally devastating, and in a way, different from other ones
RIP Hank. The actual hero of the story.

Granite state is very underrated since it’s sandwiched between ozymandias and felina but to me it’s a great episode as well this stretch of 3 you can argue is the best of the show or final 3 of season 4
@@JohnSmith-wh2obid say these trio of episodes are probably both one of the best episodes to ever come out of any series, ever.
I met a traveller from an antique land who said:
“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert…”

Todd is not a nice guy lol he is just very polite 😂
“Even tho Todd is a nice guy” ☠️☠️☠️
I think all of us were waiting for you to get to this episode! This is the true climax to the whole saga.
Ozymandias is a poem written by Percy Shelley. The wife was Mary Shelley who wrote “Frankenstein”.
The most surprising part of this masterpiece of an episode was Jr breaking up the fight and calling the police. He did so good!
Every since Walt and Jesse got involved with Tuco in S1 and then season after season, I've always knew it would come to a point where things would go so bad that everyone would get hurt, including Walter's family, but I hoped it wouldn't come to that. This episode delivers it bluntly and that's why it's the best episode in the series to me.
(Crawl Space came close in that matter but Walter managed to defuse the situation and preserve Jesse and his family)
I was so worried in that living room scene that Walt Jr would accidentally get hurt or killed.
There's a very emotional behind the scenes clip of Anna Gunn (Skyler) breaking down on the scene in the street, and Rian Johnson (the director) consoling her. Greatest episode of TV. Period.
Details you realized after seeing BB twice. Flashback Skyler talking about Holly using the same knife she will use to cut Walt’s hand.
I find it hilarious that the same man that directed this masterpiece of a TV episode... also directed The Last Jedi 💀
I mean he did a phenomenal job directing the last jedi, not a great job writing it though
And everything else he's directed has also been excellent. Last Jedi was really the one exception.
He's a great director, he just made awful decisions with the story for Last Jedi & Disney gave him way too much freedom with the story. Especially for a trilogy than he didn't start
The greatest episode of the show… and one of the greatest episodes in all of television. Not many episodes are in the same league as Ozymandias.

I love marie. She's a ruthlessly good person
uhmmm.... What?
Marie is a Ride or Die.
@@bradleewalsh8995he’s very clearly being sarcastic here
@@thehardyfan9908 brainlet
unless she's stealing LOL
the craziest part is that walter dug hanks grave
I remember Walt asking his mechanic when he sold his car for 50 dollars "name 1 thing in the world that is not negotiable?" Lol he really thought he could make a deal with people like Jack and Todd
Yep. He gets a lot of credit for being smart, while his stupidity destroyed his family.
@@tb5124Just like Mike told Saul, Walt is an amateur and to stay far away from him.
This was the most perfect series that ever existed. I don't have words to express what I felt watching this episode. The date of the cycle is there, or what we see later is a fantastic conclusion, we can wait, but at the same time for the representation of all that is fatal to those who enter the path of evil, of traffic, of drugs and for those who They also surround us, such as police, family, children, innocent, random etc. R.I.P. Hank.
I 100% agree, best episode ever made on any show. It is what makes the reactions to breaking bad so captivating.
"i have a slither of hope that Todd is maybe gonna let Jesse go after that" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
20:45 damn those triceps
Walter jr had to process 5 seasons in one episode, he gotta be feeling terrible
When walt is rolling his barrel in the desert the imagery of the shot and framing always reminds of a dung beetle rolling their big ball of dung as they walk and at this point walt essentially is a dung beetle who threw everything meaningful in his life away for that one precious ball of waste.
Walt definitely knew the cops were on the line and went out of his way to take credit for everything solely and say what he could to make it clear to the cops that Skylar wasn’t involved
Episode is named after a poem AMC used to hype up the 2nd half of the final season, read by Bryan Cranston over shots of New Mexico. Basically about a once great and terrifying King whose remaining sculpture is nearly entirely gone, eroded by the sands of time. Pretty stellar commercial, that made the year between feel that much longer.
Jesse is basically their slave, todd is indeed a psychopath
I'm not a Walt apologist, but I do 100% believe that in that phone call he was trying to help Skyler. He knew that the cops were listening in and purposefully made it seem like he forced her to be involved to take the heat off of her and the family. This is a fantastic episode.
Holy shit, ive been waiting for this since episode 1. It feels like it has been forever, im a little sad to have it end but excited for whats to come🎉🎉 you bring me much joy and thank you for that
Jesse's reaction after Walt says he watched Jane die is Oscar worthy 💔 like his soul was ripped off
11:49
funny you mention those couple of words.
The director of this episode, Rian Johnson, actually wrote and directed the mystery film with those words as its title.
Watching this the first time I thought they gonna kill jesse and after seeing that walt was looking at him I paused the episode and I startet to cry I love this series so much
The scene when walt rolls his barrel he goes past a pair of pants. I like to think those are the same ones from the first ever episode opening.
Walter always told himself he did it for his family but now it has negatively effected his family, Hank is dead, and he has a small portion of his money left... wow
They should let this guy direct some Star Wars stuff. He knows what he’s doing.
Lol 😂
Soon it’s time for “Better Call Saul”.
Dread it
Run from it
This episode still arrives
Inevitable
What a piece of art this is. Rian Johnson did a fantastic job directing it too (when he found out his name came up in the director's rotation for Ozymandius, he told all the other directors "I get to f the prom queen) 😂
17:10
FYI child who played Holly was calling her actual mother, who stayed few feet behind from Bryan Cranston.
That was not supposed to happen and everyone wanted to take a break.
But Bryan did not break character and played along.
Best episode in Television history.
Walt would be very unserious to blame Jessie for Hanks death when almost every bad thing that happened to Hank INCLUDING his death, is Walt’s fault.
Yea but Walt has been rationalizing his actions and finding ways to blame anyone and everyone but himself for the fallout of his own actions and choices for 5 straight seasons now. We see what happens when he can't find a way to put the blame on someone else after the plane crash, when he knows it's all his fault and he has a meltdown in the school gym in front everyone, trying desperately to convince everyone it's not that bad and they should move on, when really he's trying to convince himself.
Its not just about Hank. Its about Jesse's betrayal. Walt has spoken of Jesse's loyalty before and like trump, Walt's narcissism needs Jesse's loyalty.
These last few episodes are truly some of the best in TV history, everyone's acting is top notch and every episode is incredible! There's very little that can compare to the ending parts of this series.
20:49 "This...was hands down...the most...insane... episode of television..."
primate is impressed.
deservedly so.
Been waiting for this reaction since you started the show, think I had like a mental breakdown after I watched this episode for the first time lmao
Been waiting for this one! Hope your hearts doing alright! You can see Walt’s khaki pants from episode one while Walt is rolling the barrel through the desert!
Also, man does Anna Gunn do such an EXTRAORDINARY job breaking down after Walt takes Holly. The entire cast gives some of, if not their best performances of the entire series.
There's a magazine back then when this episode dropped that stampped this episode the most important hour of television in TV history
litrally the most brutal hour of television of my life, felt like getting punched in the gut once a minute... 10/10 best episode
This is the moment in the series where I started liking Walt again. He gets hit with a major reality check after Hank’s death.
I've seen this show multiple times and I still have the same shock and emotional pains from this episode!!! AMAZING REACTION!!!!!!
11:46 Damn, Primate accidentally referred Knives Out (a Rian Johnson masterpiece) while watching another Rian Johnson masterpiece 😂
😂
@@ItsAPrimatee
Points.
The great Heinseberg and his empire; has fallen.
Just like Ozymandias
this and the finale of bcs are 2 of the best episode of tv ever made
I cannot WAIT for him to see better call saul.
I think plan and execution is even better than those 2 episodes
@@vendimi9547true but i like to block the ending of that ep from my memory
@@vendimi9547 Very respectable opinion. But for me,Saul gone is the best episode I've ever seen (yes,even better than Ozymandias),I mean, it's still stuck in my head like 7 months after it aired,and probably will be for the next ten years or so lol
Episode 15 doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Especially the last 2 minutes. Chills every time.
The most perfect episode of the most perfect show. Truly unbelievably masterful television. Someone sold their soul to make this TV show as good as it was.
Great video, man. Definitely my favorite episodes of the series. There are several actors here who displayed master-level performances... Brian especially. That scene where he calls Skylar and incriminates himself in order to protect her is just... absolutely heart-wrenching. You can *see* him acting tough and trying to be mean while his sorrow is bubbling just under the surface and bleeding through.
Despite all of this, I still don't see Walt as an evil person. At least, no more evil than any of the other characters. He's just... a walking tragedy. A man too smart for his own good, who never gives up and lets his ego get in the way. He still does what he thinks is right... but you know what they say... "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
For better or worse, this is the episode that got Rian Johnson the job directing The Last Jedi.
Shoutout to Rian Johnson for some great directing and shot choices. So much meaning in the scenes.
Back then he still had a soul.
Perfect episode from start to finish , just a masterpiece
IT'S HERE. PEAK TV IS FINALLY HERE
🔥🔥🔥 The acting performances alone between walt & skyler, junior & marie.....🔥🔥🔥I thought Jessie was a gonner when walt told on him hiding underneath the car. Primate you deserve a🍺 after all that.
The last 4 episodes of this final season are the 4 best hours of television ever made imo
I was lucky enough to watch this live when it originally aired. All the plot payoffs and the sheer escalation... To call it mind-blowing would be an understatement.
These last 3 episodes of the season are god tier television
At this point in the episode (10:16 in this vid) Walt rolls his barrel of money past a dusty pair of pants lying in the sand. That’s the pair of pants we see flying from the first shot of the series… how the mighty Heisenberg has fallen
Congratulations you reached the peak of Television.
When he was rolling the barrel you can see his pants right from the first scene of the show. These details man
Walt 100% knew the police were listening thats why he did what he did
