I love this scene because of the duality in Jesse's character: 1- It's cronologically Jesse's first appearance. 2- It's the last time we are ever gonna see Jesse.
The symbolism in this scene is absolutely genius. Kim putting her jacket hood over her head represents her not wanting to get wet from the rain. Bravo Vince, you done it again!!
I cried when Jesse asked Kim if he should Better Call Saul while Kim replied saying "Only if you are Breaking Bad". Truly on of the most moments in the history of Television!
I love the symbolism of this scene, Kim is leaving the terrible life of knowing Saul Goodman and Jesse is beginning the life. Kim's journey is over and now Jesse's begins.
seeing Jesse being all friendly, talkative, energetic and naive like that, it makes it kind of painful knowing what’s in store for him once Walt enters the picture, when Kim said “when I knew him, he was.” it felt like she was warning Jesse to not be a poor judge of character or not put to much faith in someone like Jimmy or Walt
That’s the point of all these “fan service” appearances. They use your knowledge of the future to create an eerie air of sadness over the show. That’s why it annoys me whenever any pretentious cynic tries to complain about “fan service” in this show, acting like they’re above it. The irony is they’re not even getting the point of scenes like this.
@@haydeng3541 only people who think they’re top-notch “movie and show critics” complain about fan service. Us people who actually just enjoy the shows appreciate fan service
@@haydeng3541 It’s just mindless cynicism. A hollow attempt at seeming really critically-minded and refined in taste or something. It kinda started with RedLetterMedia, who actually _are_ really insightful, thoughtful film deconstructionists. Stupid, cynical people saw their takedowns of fan service in movies and started parroting it around, blindly labeling anything and everything that could conceivably be considered fan service as “bad” or “cheap”. Shows like this do it right. In fact, BCS does it so well, I consider it insulting to even call a lot of the BB-related material “fan service” at all. There’s more to it than that.
As sad as it was, all that happened was on him and his poor choices and actions. But they made him a far better and stronger man, as we see at the end of El Camino. Of course we the viewers wish it never happened like that, but sometimes things happen to you and there's not much you can do about them happening.
This scene is perfect. Jesse is exactly the type of misunderstood underdog Kim loved to defend. We already know how badly his story goes, so in this one scene he stands in as an example of whom Kim has sacrificed helping. Maybe if she gives him the worthy advice she used to believe herself capable of giving, we don’t have half of Breaking Bad. Instead she offers a halfhearted hollow line and continues into the storm she has been facing while leaving him in the eye of it.
@@sebastianchavez1225 Right? The only potential issue I see is that Jesse really really likes MILFs, of which Kim might be one, thereby possibly complicating (or spicing up) their professional relationship.
They weren’t kidding when they said that they were gonna work Walt and Jesse into the series in intelligent ways and not just for fan service. This is such a tragically beautiful scene. A burnt out Kim is at the end of her arc and is now suffering the consequences of it all, and Jesse is about to start the same exact process as her. Two characters who ended up severely damaged because of their partners in crime. A little more extreme for Walt and Jesse than Jimmy and Kim, but the parallel is there.
Vince said himself that he made this scene just because he thought it would be cool. It literally is fanservice and nothing else. Edit: wrote this silly comment 2 years ago I'm pretty sure I just made it up sorry lads
@@kowskizury yes, you can call it that if you want but I don’t know how anyone could see it as that. It’s a brilliant parallel between these two characters who have a lot of similarities.
1:00 Rain seems to symbolize when someone chooses to stop breaking bad. It never rained on Breaking Bad. It rained when Jesse escaped and left Albuquerque in El Camino. It rained after Nacho chose to go out on his own terms. Then it rained when Kim had that final meeting with Saul.
To me the rain in this scene symbolizes emotions Jimmy is bottling up & wont express (especially now that he's deep into the Saul persona). It also rains in the episode "Pimento", right after the big argument with Chuck where he reveals he doesnt consider Jimmy a real lawyer. To me its notable that those are the only two times it rains in Albuquerque during the show (Nacho's death, the only other instance of rain, happening in Mexico)
This scene was everything. Kim ending her relationship with Saul and Jesse will start with him soon enough. Beautifully written and directed. So poignant.
@@SauliBo1 this guy and all these other people think they are top shelf critics when all they do is say the most generic stuff and obvious observations Lol.
@@The-Deadite I liked Breaking Bad but wasn't the biggest fan, nor did I think it was the best. I had doubts when I first heard Better Call Saul would be a spin-off show. I thought the first season was ok, and I assumed it would obscurely get canceled after three seasons, but it got better and eventually became one of the best shows ever. Many great shows peak after the 3rd or 4th season, and the final season is ok, but this show became a masterpiece as it progressed.
Something really cool that I noticed about this scene. Because of the rain, everything not under that roof seems black and white. When Kim leaves and walks into the rain, it signifies her leaving behind the fun and going into her new life without Jimmy
i think that's a reach because it is 'raining' and you can see color in the sky as she walks out. however, that is a great idea and would have been something had they done that intentionally. Sort of like the movie "Pleasantville"!
Kim doesn’t know it but her answer to Jesse’s question ultimately has a hand in sealing Saul, Jesse, and Walt’s fate. I don’t care if it was fan-service, this was a great scene.
Fan service isn’t a fundamentally bad thing, you know lol. There’s good fan service and there’s bad/lazy fan service. This was an exciting crossover moment for sure. I don’t think Kim’s words left much of any impact on Jesse, though. He wanted Saul because of Emilio.
@@BareBandSubscription I think they did tho. In this scene we are revealed that even Jesse had doubts - hiring a lawyer who airs cheesy ads on late night TV. But he knew Kim, and how he got Combo off. So he probably asked in earnest, taking her reply into full consideration. She is the one who removed that doubt - she gave an approval. Thus she was integral in pushing Saul to work for Mr.White.
@@alexanderluthor5670 Here is one person leaving the world of crime and another innocent person entering it. The contrast between their states of guilt and innocence, and knowing the end result of both characters brings a layer of tragedy. Furthermore, all the people they speak of are deceased, pfallen victim to the immoralit.z
@@alexanderluthor5670 It shows the tragedy that this kind of life entails for those who participate in it. Kim could’ve potentially helped someone like Jesse or maybe even Jesse himself had she not been so wracked up with guilt up until that point. You don’t get mentors or people to keep you from going too far off the deep end as a criminal - you only have yourself to rely on for guidance.
This was one of the most heartbreaking episodes in the whole series. I mean, the police officer behind Jeffie's taxi barely got any fish in his fish taco! How could you even call that a fish taco!? Horrifying!
What I love about this scene is that it ties Kim perfectly into BB. Even though she was never in it, this tiny scene showed us her significance in the series. If it wasn’t for her Jesse and Walt would’ve never hired Saul.
I don't know man...it was heartwarming at first, but then I was lost in thoughts. I mean...how many of such people we interact with in daily life, that has absolutely no meaning with our own life, but still has a story to tell in their own perspective. Kinda like Dark ..you know. I'm talking about the show.
This was my favorite scene from the episode. Jesse looked a lot better in the dark lol and his voice change was less noticeable with him speaking over the pouring rain so that was nice. But regardless it was just great Jesse content and it was pretty poetic that Kim was leaving Saul’s office and that world for good while Jesse was just being pulled into it all.
They shot this scene over 2 years ago. Theyve had well and enough time to do some basic deaging. The fact paul said he felt weird playing 18 at 29 in Season 1 BB should have been enough for them to put him at ease with some basic deaging. People are doing it decently on youtube with a week, and no budget.
@@spoons250 idk, I like the fact that they don’t do it. It can be a little weird sometimes like with young Jimmy but the de-aged stuff looks weird too, I prefer it normal. Either way though, at least they don’t ever recast for a younger version, I hate when shows do that.
@@spoons250 if they had applied such a deaging process there'd just be some counterpart to you writing a comment somewhere about how unnatural it looks, probably a lot more even. Just watch the show
If only they had simply made a pigeon fly right between his face and the camera at all times, and a loud car horn toot each time he begins a sentence, now THAT would have made the scene pitch perfect. Just impeccable. They were almost there with the rain and darkness tricks, but you can sort of see and hear him so it doesn't quite work...
I think it's brilliant that Kim answers Jesse's question (as to whether Saul is good) by referring not to his ability as a lawyer, but to his moral quality: "he was good." Saul and Gene are already morally bankrupt. There is no Jimmy anymore.
Saul advises Walter to kill people at least three times (that's not a lawyer's job). Gene drugs and mugs people and almost murders an old lady, isn't that moral bankruptcy? I can't imagine what it is then.
There are people who complain that this scene was not necessary. But it has a fan service that, more than accommodating the fans, is a fan service that fits well with the plot and is full of metaphors, deepening of the characters and references.
@@CoryTheNorm That’s the worst part of the scene. It makes no sense with her character and decisions, unless she’s a giant hypocrite, and that’s where they’re going with her character. Such a terrible line.
@@spiicypotato Because she knew him way back when he literally faked evidence for court cases (some which she actively helped and planned), forged paperwork, and not to mention the Howard plan being mainly hers. Yet, somehow she thought it’d make sense to say he was good when she knew him. Which also doesn’t make sense, because she was deeply into his Saul Goodman persona in season 6. The writers clearly chose to forget about the rest of her character.
I love that they have a lot more in common with each other than they realise. - Both the companions swept up by the ego-driven, scheming main character - Both end up feeling guilty and regretting their actions in the end - Both feel they only manage to hurt those around them - Both confessed to their deeds (albeit under different circumstances and for different reasons) So hopefully (we'll see in the finale next week) they're also both the ones who got away and went on to live a good life.
@@socksfersold Even though it’s no where near the same level as Walter or Chuck, I think Jimmy still has a pretty big ego. His interactions with Howard highlights it well
I watched BB, El Camino, Better Call Saul and this was the only scene that finally made me cry. So simple yet so powerful when you know the whole story.
Jesse does look old. It is a little disorienting. Not saying for a second that it is anyone's fault. Difficult to make these things 100% accurate with the timelines and all. But you can't fault anyone for being a little taken aback.
Aaron Paul was much better in this scene than the RV scene in BCS. He seemed much more natural playing the naive Jesse and didn't seem so old with his gravelly voice
Because they wrote him differently for that scene. It's a little awkward because by season 2 he's supposed to be changed from meeting Walt again, getting beat up by Tuco, etc. Pre-BB he still has that high school punk attitude so it was easier to play it up
@@RdnFikri These episodes have been done for a month or two, I highly doubt they went back and changed it. Jesse was just in a different point in his life, being more of a punk wanna be gangster
I'm so glad that we get to see Jesse and Kim sharing a scene like this. I love the contrast between them as she's coming out of a crushing meeting with Saul in which he brushes her off like she never meant anything to him in comparison with the very positive and energetic Jesse who is only beginning his journey into Breaking Bad and then El Camino. Absolutely masterful storytelling. I've been following this show since Day 1 in 2015 and I'm so going to miss it dearly. Another stunning masterpiece by Gilligan and co. Thank you
Aaron paul looked more comfortable here than in the previous episode imo, felt more like his s5 self in the RV Here he acts how jesse should at the time, despite looking 2 decades older than who he's portraying should be
The fun thing is, imo at least, that seeing Jesse's 2008 self a bit older than he used to be doesn't bother me. Because seeing the wrinkles and details in his face give more grit. Really highlights the intensity of a crime drama. Feels that way with everyone, especially the more obvious ones like Mike and Gus. No point in trying to hide it but it still contributes.
Most likely not. Depending on how deep the case files go she may have read about Combo’s involvement and death and recalled it that way, but even then it’s unlikely she remembered anything about Jesse
"Jimmy, this is what you do... you hurt people, over, and over, and over." "In the end, you're going to hurt everyone around you... you can't help it, so stop apologizing for it and accept it... embrace it!" Chuck's words were powerful enough when he said them - all these years later, couldn't be more spot on!
Yep. Even in the future as Gene. It becomes abundantly clear, if it wasn’t already, that Jimmy cannot live a honest life. Much less a quiet and honest life. He needs the thrill and satisfaction he gets from being the con man. It’s like watching an addict.
Chuck and Jimmy are a chicken and the egg situation. Does Saul Goodman prove that Chuck was right all along and that Jimmy could never lead an honest life, OR did Chuck’s inability to accept Jimmy was trying to change (and in turn holding back Jimmy’s law career) the reason Jimmy must ultimately take short-cuts and become Saul Goodman?
Never would've expected a scene between Kim and Jesse, and I was all for it. One of my favorite scenes this entire seasons. It's so cool how a prequel can have so many nice surprises.
I love the part where Jesse says: "What is this? Some kind of breaking bad?" and Kim responds with: "It's kimbin' time". Incredible writing, never thought I would enjoy something so emotional in my life. Bravo!
4:01 love the unfinished cigarette flick because it says Jesse was more interested in talking than smoking. While Kim literally runs away, the rain is just the excuse for her to get as fast as she can away from Jimmy.
I had felt similar emotions when I had watched "Dark". I mean, think about it, a person who you do not know...is so significant in your story. And also it's like the junction of two different storylines, just like the two universes in Dark. Very eerie, but beautiful also. These feelings are what makes this show more than just another stuff to binge.
That back shot of Jesse feels like the last time we're ever gonna see him on screen. Glad he got his epilogue in El Camino and happy he got to be a part of this in a meaningful way. Hope Walter gets the same treatment next week. Loved Bryan's cameo in El Camino but i dont want the last time we ever see Walter White be him driving the RV in the desert.
I'm going through some tough time right now, and this scene just kind of relaxes me and makes me want to watch it again and again for some reasons. I guess it has to do with all the nostalgia I have for these two shows, but I also feel me watching this scene is like Kim smoking that cigarette outside Saul's office, not sure what to do but can't quite keep the mind unoccupied. Better share a cigarette with a stranger and watch the rainfall than nothing.
I think it's fair to comment on Aaron Paul's clear aging while also acknowledging it was bound to happen and it doesn't derail the show as a whole. Having said that, give credit to Paul...he's doing his best with it. Acting-wise, he nails early BB Jesse perfectly in this scene.
I hope we get a sequel series starring Aaron Paul and following Jesse and his adventures in Alaska. I’d like to imagine he meets some blonde woman who happens to look a lot like Lauren Paul, Aaron Paul’s real-life wife.
I mean, I know everyone is joking around here… but it really is an incredible scene. Kim being the bridge that FINALLY completes the gap between the two shows. Kim is done… and Jesse is about to go for the wildest (and most tragic) ride of his entire life.
Great job by Aaon Paul here. He noticeably portrays the "goofier" version of Jesse from seasons 1-3 of BB. Even though he has more recently played the more serious Jesse from seasons 4-5/El Camino.
Did you all catch how Kim opened the door when leaving Saul's office, signifying her having to push an obstacle away from her just to get away from Jimmy? Writing is next level
I loved seeing this scene so much when I saw it for the first time!! So awesome! Living in the Phoenix area I can relate to Jesse at 1:20 because so many people say that when it rains here even though we usually have monsoons in July lol.
It could just be me but I think this is the only time we see it raining in Albuquerque in the entire Breaking Bad Universe. Solidifying the name of the episode: Waterworks. Bc if so, that’s amazing
Sometimes I forget that BCS is connected to Breaking Bad because it seems so different, but in the best way. This scene was like seeing two worlds collide. I never knew I wanted to see Jesse talk to Kim, yet this scene works so well! My favorite character from each show
though she didnt outright say it, one could say she accidentally put her “thumb on the scale” so to speak. Jesse wanted some assurances with saul, and she said he was good when she knew him. that was enough for Jesse to be satisified. If its one thing the writers love to show, is that small actions have huge consequences in the BCS/BrBa World. You can argue that it was Kims final words to Jesse, that gave him the final push to hire Saul.
Eh. It was much moreso that Saul got Emilio off different charges twice. Jesse specifically mentions this in BB, I’m pretty sure, and he most definitely never mentions any recommendations made by any random blonde lawyer women.
@@BareBandSubscription Yeah people keep saying this and I'm not buying it. Him getting Emilio off was what made him go back when Badger got caught, I don't think this scene was trying to imply Kim had anything to do with Walt and Jesse approaching him later.
@@Tribrachidiumheraldicum I think people are trying to give the scene more purpose than it actually has. It’s only real use, aside from being a cool crossover moment, is to establish Kim’s feelings about what Jimmy had become at that point. That’s really it as far as I can tell.
Something interesting in the last shot, 3:57 Jesse's side has a lot of raining falling while Kim's side is clear. Nice symbolism there, one has clearer skies ahead while the other is filled with chaos. I'm going to miss Sole Footman once this show ends.
the only full scene at least. A couple montages in BCS feature parts with rain: the Something Stupid one, and the one where Kim has the colored post-it notes on the window.
2 deuteragonists who weren’t meant to be as important to BB/BCS as they ended up being. Jesse was supposed to die at the end of season 1 and Vince/Peter didn’t know what to do with Kim as they were writing the first season
Kim and Jesse. Both got partners who got carried away too much in this criminal game. To the point they got their lives messed up leaving them traumatized. But both break free from that life in the end. Kindred spirits just talking to each other.
Seeing Kim and Jesse smoke together was too surreal to be true, what an episode
bravo vince
Not my Kimmy, couldn't be precious Kimmy
Two timelines, finally connected. That's what it felt like. Pretty goddamn cool.
You know that Jesse respected her here, he never called her a bitch.
Kim handing off that cigarette to Jesse is like her handing off the torch to become the deuteragonist who gets disillusioned over time.

Fan service isn’t a fundamentally bad thing, you know lol. There’s good fan service and there’s bad/lazy fan service. This was an exciting crossover moment for sure. I don’t think Kim’s words left much of any impact on Jesse, though. He wanted Saul because of Emilio.
@@BareBandSubscription that was the point, her reply is futile
@@BareBandSubscription I think they did tho. In this scene we are revealed that even Jesse had doubts - hiring a lawyer who airs cheesy ads on late night TV. But he knew Kim, and how he got Combo off. So he probably asked in earnest, taking her reply into full consideration.
She is the one who removed that doubt - she gave an approval. Thus she was integral in pushing Saul to work for Mr.White.
@@DekuStickGamer also the results speak for themself, I’m sure after the second time Saul got Emilio off, he knew he was the guy
"When I knew him he was" ~ THIS LINE HURT BADLY
This was more than just fan service. This was symbolism at its finest.
also seems like it'd be a great bridge if you watched BCS and then BB
@@alexanderluthor5670 Here is one person leaving the world of crime and another innocent person entering it. The contrast between their states of guilt and innocence, and knowing the end result of both characters brings a layer of tragedy. Furthermore, all the people they speak of are deceased, pfallen victim to the immoralit.z
@@alexanderluthor5670 we don't see rain in kim's side because she is leaving the game, but in jesse is the opposite because he is getting in.
@@alexanderluthor5670 It shows the tragedy that this kind of life entails for those who participate in it. Kim could’ve potentially helped someone like Jesse or maybe even Jesse himself had she not been so wracked up with guilt up until that point. You don’t get mentors or people to keep you from going too far off the deep end as a criminal - you only have yourself to rely on for guidance.
@@alexanderluthor5670 they both stayed under the awning to keep dry. This is brilliant symbolism for not wanting to get wet.
Incredible symbolism. Kim leaving the building signifies her leaving the building. Bravo Vince
Omg I never thought of that 🤯🤯🤯
These comments are the real quality.
Weak
Ironically the one of very few times this is relevant, since Vince actually headed this entire episode, lol.
This is the moment you understood the symbolism
This is the moment when bad broke
This was one of the most heartbreaking episodes in the whole series. I mean, the police officer behind Jeffie's taxi barely got any fish in his fish taco! How could you even call that a fish taco!? Horrifying!
I forgot about that!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The things smaller than the end of his thumb!
That cop deserves a spin-off series called “How can you even call that a fish taco”
Jeff crashing into the car was a visual representation of that fish taco. Bravo Vince
What I love about this scene is that it ties Kim perfectly into BB. Even though she was never in it, this tiny scene showed us her significance in the series. If it wasn’t for her Jesse and Walt would’ve never hired Saul.
Love Vince bringing back the pan-to-a-character-hidden-behind-a-pillar shot from Felina
Huh
Skylar..
@@selfmade7806
Lmfao “huh,” he says…
@@selfmade7806 the scene of Skylar and Walt in the kitchen of the last episode of BB
Eh - that was the one part I did not like. Too much of an on-the-nose homage to the BB finale.
This scene felt like food for my soul.
You're "Soul" good man?
I don't know man...it was heartwarming at first, but then I was lost in thoughts. I mean...how many of such people we interact with in daily life, that has absolutely no meaning with our own life, but still has a story to tell in their own perspective.
Kinda like Dark ..you know. I'm talking about the show.
It made you think deeply about both shows and both Kim and Jesse's life this scene. I felt quite sad watching this scene.
This was my favorite scene from the episode. Jesse looked a lot better in the dark lol and his voice change was less noticeable with him speaking over the pouring rain so that was nice. But regardless it was just great Jesse content and it was pretty poetic that Kim was leaving Saul’s office and that world for good while Jesse was just being pulled into it all.
They shot this scene over 2 years ago. Theyve had well and enough time to do some basic deaging. The fact paul said he felt weird playing 18 at 29 in Season 1 BB should have been enough for them to put him at ease with some basic deaging. People are doing it decently on youtube with a week, and no budget.
@@spoons250 idk, I like the fact that they don’t do it. It can be a little weird sometimes like with young Jimmy but the de-aged stuff looks weird too, I prefer it normal. Either way though, at least they don’t ever recast for a younger version, I hate when shows do that.
@@spoons250 if they had applied such a deaging process there'd just be some counterpart to you writing a comment somewhere about how unnatural it looks, probably a lot more even. Just watch the show
@@spoons250 deaging stuff is really expensive and nobody really uses it in tv shows other then Disney
If only they had simply made a pigeon fly right between his face and the camera at all times, and a loud car horn toot each time he begins a sentence, now THAT would have made the scene pitch perfect. Just impeccable. They were almost there with the rain and darkness tricks, but you can sort of see and hear him so it doesn't quite work...
Absolutely one of my favourite scenes in the whole show. Aaron and Rhea knocked this one out of the park, brilliant.
This was the era when giving out a single smoke wasn’t as much of a financial decision.
I think it's brilliant that Kim answers Jesse's question (as to whether Saul is good) by referring not to his ability as a lawyer, but to his moral quality: "he was good." Saul and Gene are already morally bankrupt. There is no Jimmy anymore.
Unless Jimmy is reborn in the last episode...
That's right.
@@jerradwilson if he gets caught.
Lol calm down. It’s not that deep.
Saul advises Walter to kill people at least three times (that's not a lawyer's job). Gene drugs and mugs people and almost murders an old lady, isn't that moral bankruptcy? I can't imagine what it is then.
Aaron was a lot more in character in this BCS scene than his last 🙌🏼💯
For a 42yr old playing a 20 something, I guess you could say that......
@@VideoServicesVB that's pretty much the history of television for "younger roles" -- 25+ year old adults playing highschool and college kids.
@@aparksmusic But they work hard to at least make themselves passable. he's clearly way too old to be doing this cameo or any future ones.
He was completely fine in the RV scene. Jesse is different in season 2 compared to pre-BB
Aaron did a fantastic job of playing a young Jesse. 👏🏻
There are people who complain that this scene was not necessary. But it has a fan service that, more than accommodating the fans, is a fan service that fits well with the plot and is full of metaphors, deepening of the characters and references.
It did seem like unnecessary fanservice to me, but it was worth it for the final "He was when I knew him" line.
@@CoryTheNorm That’s the worst part of the scene. It makes no sense with her character and decisions, unless she’s a giant hypocrite, and that’s where they’re going with her character. Such a terrible line.
@@Im.Smaher how is it hypocritical?
@@spiicypotato Because she knew him way back when he literally faked evidence for court cases (some which she actively helped and planned), forged paperwork, and not to mention the Howard plan being mainly hers. Yet, somehow she thought it’d make sense to say he was good when she knew him. Which also doesn’t make sense, because she was deeply into his Saul Goodman persona in season 6. The writers clearly chose to forget about the rest of her character.
@@Im.Smaher Refrain from saying anything else idiotic, please.
I love that they have a lot more in common with each other than they realise.
- Both the companions swept up by the ego-driven, scheming main character
- Both end up feeling guilty and regretting their actions in the end
- Both feel they only manage to hurt those around them
- Both confessed to their deeds (albeit under different circumstances and for different reasons)
So hopefully (we'll see in the finale next week) they're also both the ones who got away and went on to live a good life.
Saul is more money driven imo
The ego belongs to Chuck
Good life?
Kim lives a pretty miserable life
@@socksfersold Even though it’s no where near the same level as Walter or Chuck, I think Jimmy still has a pretty big ego. His interactions with Howard highlights it well
I watched BB, El Camino, Better Call Saul and this was the only scene that finally made me cry. So simple yet so powerful when you know the whole story.
They were all terrible except BB
Rhea Seahorn should get an Emmy
Her scene on the bus was another level altogether 👏👏👏
She's nominated, I hope she earns it.
For this scene? No
bravo rhea
her acting in season 6 has been meh TBH as is the season.
I love this scene. Anyone crying about Jesse looking a bit older needs to get a life.
I’m crying cause he looks older and I don’t want him to get old 😢
ratio
He looks fine in like half the shots in this scene
@@fivr. Massive L
Jesse does look old. It is a little disorienting. Not saying for a second that it is anyone's fault. Difficult to make these things 100% accurate with the timelines and all. But you can't fault anyone for being a little taken aback.
Aaron Paul was much better in this scene than the RV scene in BCS. He seemed much more natural playing the naive Jesse and didn't seem so old with his gravelly voice
Well, Aaron Paul has more lines here than the other scene. Plus, his funky-looking street clothes here help sell it.
Because they wrote him differently for that scene. It's a little awkward because by season 2 he's supposed to be changed from meeting Walt again, getting beat up by Tuco, etc. Pre-BB he still has that high school punk attitude so it was easier to play it up
Idk why I think they edited Aaron's voice or something in here due to many people hating his scene in the previous episode .
@@RdnFikri The rain also helps to disguise his gravelly voice as a 42-year-old man.
@@RdnFikri These episodes have been done for a month or two, I highly doubt they went back and changed it. Jesse was just in a different point in his life, being more of a punk wanna be gangster
Seeing jesse again was like a warm hug
I'm so glad that we get to see Jesse and Kim sharing a scene like this. I love the contrast between them as she's coming out of a crushing meeting with Saul in which he brushes her off like she never meant anything to him in comparison with the very positive and energetic Jesse who is only beginning his journey into Breaking Bad and then El Camino.
Absolutely masterful storytelling. I've been following this show since Day 1 in 2015 and I'm so going to miss it dearly. Another stunning masterpiece by Gilligan and co. Thank you
Peter Gould*
Gene: confess everything if you want there is no one left
Kim: ok
Aaron paul looked more comfortable here than in the previous episode imo, felt more like his s5 self in the RV
Here he acts how jesse should at the time, despite looking 2 decades older than who he's portraying should be
I wouldn’t say he looks as old as mid 40s tbh, more like 30s
The fun thing is, imo at least, that seeing Jesse's 2008 self a bit older than he used to be doesn't bother me. Because seeing the wrinkles and details in his face give more grit. Really highlights the intensity of a crime drama. Feels that way with everyone, especially the more obvious ones like Mike and Gus. No point in trying to hide it but it still contributes.
@@ReMattch yeah that's true, can't be helped
@@pm70223 These comments are normally made by people the same age they're commenting on trying to fool themselves.
pre-BB Jesse is way different from season 2 Jesse. His acting was spot-on in both scenes lol
Two of the greatest antihero characters of all time. Seeing them side by side interacting is just brilliance.
The heart and soul of the 2 shows respectively
I wonder if Kim remembers Jesse when she saw him on the news 6 years later. God what an amazing show Jesus
Doubt it. They knew eachother for four minutes and the conversation was pretty one sided.
Makes you think of how many out of normal people you meet everyday.
Probably not
Most likely not. Depending on how deep the case files go she may have read about Combo’s involvement and death and recalled it that way, but even then it’s unlikely she remembered anything about Jesse
She may have. Jesse is pretty hard to forget.
"Jimmy, this is what you do... you hurt people, over, and over, and over."
"In the end, you're going to hurt everyone around you... you can't help it, so stop apologizing for it and accept it... embrace it!"
Chuck's words were powerful enough when he said them - all these years later, couldn't be more spot on!
chuck is the reason saul exists
Yep. Even in the future as Gene. It becomes abundantly clear, if it wasn’t already, that Jimmy cannot live a honest life. Much less a quiet and honest life.
He needs the thrill and satisfaction he gets from being the con man. It’s like watching an addict.
@@ekqeue u need a rewatch my friend
Chuck was a dick but he never lied
Chuck and Jimmy are a chicken and the egg situation. Does Saul Goodman prove that Chuck was right all along and that Jimmy could never lead an honest life, OR did Chuck’s inability to accept Jimmy was trying to change (and in turn holding back Jimmy’s law career) the reason Jimmy must ultimately take short-cuts and become Saul Goodman?
Never would've expected a scene between Kim and Jesse, and I was all for it. One of my favorite scenes this entire seasons. It's so cool how a prequel can have so many nice surprises.
Hank actually mentions in Breaking Bad season 2 how Combo stole a baby Jesus when he was 17
Wow I didn't know that 🥶
Haha yep. S2 E13 ABQ
I love the part where Jesse says: "What is this? Some kind of breaking bad?" and Kim responds with: "It's kimbin' time". Incredible writing, never thought I would enjoy something so emotional in my life. Bravo!
All we're missing now is a scene with a chimp and a machine gun and we're good.
Bravo Vince!
You tried too hard
Damn this was too far 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I cried and I cried tears of joy
4:01 love the unfinished cigarette flick because it says Jesse was more interested in talking than smoking. While Kim literally runs away, the rain is just the excuse for her to get as fast as she can away from Jimmy.
I had felt similar emotions when I had watched "Dark". I mean, think about it, a person who you do not know...is so significant in your story. And also it's like the junction of two different storylines, just like the two universes in Dark. Very eerie, but beautiful also.
These feelings are what makes this show more than just another stuff to binge.
That back shot of Jesse feels like the last time we're ever gonna see him on screen. Glad he got his epilogue in El Camino and happy he got to be a part of this in a meaningful way. Hope Walter gets the same treatment next week. Loved Bryan's cameo in El Camino but i dont want the last time we ever see Walter White be him driving the RV in the desert.
More importantly this is Kim's last scene.
Maybe we’ll get a sequel series starring Aaron Paul and following Jesse and his adventures in Alaska.
@@Keeno1 Probably not
They said Walter’s gonna have one scene by himself, he’s definitely gonna be in the finale.
bro said back shot
The two Deuteragonists of the BB/BCS universe finally meet.
I'm going through some tough time right now, and this scene just kind of relaxes me and makes me want to watch it again and again for some reasons. I guess it has to do with all the nostalgia I have for these two shows, but I also feel me watching this scene is like Kim smoking that cigarette outside Saul's office, not sure what to do but can't quite keep the mind unoccupied. Better share a cigarette with a stranger and watch the rainfall than nothing.
keep your head up, everything will get better eventually dont worry
@@robertobermejo6769 Thanks. I'm sure I'll make it through. :)
I hope you've gotten better in these last 7 months man. Keep cooking.
3:47 I love that Kim could have replied the same for both interpretations of "good".
Kim: "Tell [Combo] I'm hoping he's keeping his nose clean"
Jesse: "Yeah, yeah. Absolutely."
**Narrator**: He wasn't.
Pure symbolism here, Kim saying "nose" implies Combo's use of drugs. Bravo Vince
They couldn't get Ron Howard because he was busy or something.
[Morgan Freeman's voice]: in fact his nose was quite filthy, even for Albuquerque standards...
I think it's fair to comment on Aaron Paul's clear aging while also acknowledging it was bound to happen and it doesn't derail the show as a whole. Having said that, give credit to Paul...he's doing his best with it. Acting-wise, he nails early BB Jesse perfectly in this scene.
This scene would have been funny in Breaking Bad but it is really heart-breaking in Better Call Saul.
the reveal of jesse standing there was so awesome, props to the direction and camera work
I love how Jesse tries to start a conversation out of the most common topic wich is weather and somehow he does it terribly bad.
Last time we’ll likely ever see Jesse... hope he’s doing alright in Alaska.
I hope we get a sequel series starring Aaron Paul and following Jesse and his adventures in Alaska. I’d like to imagine he meets some blonde woman who happens to look a lot like Lauren Paul, Aaron Paul’s real-life wife.
Also, we need a spin off show with Huell as the protagonist and it's called "Be Reasonably Happy"
@@margarethmichelina5146 Huell’s Rules is the only spinoff I’ll accept
@@mechadoggy That sounds really boring
@@mechadoggy Nah. Let the series die at its peak. Not devolve into countless mediocre spinoffs like the MCU.
When I first watched this scene I really thought Jesse was gonna call Kim “bitch”.
Well he mainly called Walt that because that’s what he was
I mean, I know everyone is joking around here… but it really is an incredible scene. Kim being the bridge that FINALLY completes the gap between the two shows. Kim is done… and Jesse is about to go for the wildest (and most tragic) ride of his entire life.
my pookies 💔
Great job by Aaon Paul here. He noticeably portrays the "goofier" version of Jesse from seasons 1-3 of BB. Even though he has more recently played the more serious Jesse from seasons 4-5/El Camino.
The only characters that did not end up dead or imprisoned
I miss the BB and BCS universe, truly amazing series that deserves every accolade.
The fact that over 10 years later, Aaron Paul can still perfectly act like both Early and Late season Jesse is astonishing
Did you all catch how Kim opened the door when leaving Saul's office, signifying her having to push an obstacle away from her just to get away from Jimmy? Writing is next level
😭😭
Jesse: “this guy, he any good?”
Kim: “it’s all good man”
I loved seeing this scene so much when I saw it for the first time!! So awesome! Living in the Phoenix area I can relate to Jesse at 1:20 because so many people say that when it rains here even though we usually have monsoons in July lol.
It could just be me but I think this is the only time we see it raining in Albuquerque in the entire Breaking Bad Universe. Solidifying the name of the episode: Waterworks. Bc if so, that’s amazing
Sometimes I forget that BCS is connected to Breaking Bad because it seems so different, but in the best way. This scene was like seeing two worlds collide. I never knew I wanted to see Jesse talk to Kim, yet this scene works so well! My favorite character from each show
This was a more epic crossover than the Avengers.

2:19 that was pretty slick yo!
though she didnt outright say it, one could say she accidentally put her “thumb on the scale” so to speak. Jesse wanted some assurances with saul, and she said he was good when she knew him. that was enough for Jesse to be satisified. If its one thing the writers love to show, is that small actions have huge consequences in the BCS/BrBa World. You can argue that it was Kims final words to Jesse, that gave him the final push to hire Saul.
well i mean, as well as emilio getting off scot free
Eh. It was much moreso that Saul got Emilio off different charges twice. Jesse specifically mentions this in BB, I’m pretty sure, and he most definitely never mentions any recommendations made by any random blonde lawyer women.
butterfly effect...
@@BareBandSubscription Yeah people keep saying this and I'm not buying it. Him getting Emilio off was what made him go back when Badger got caught, I don't think this scene was trying to imply Kim had anything to do with Walt and Jesse approaching him later.
@@Tribrachidiumheraldicum
I think people are trying to give the scene more purpose than it actually has. It’s only real use, aside from being a cool crossover moment, is to establish Kim’s feelings about what Jimmy had become at that point. That’s really it as far as I can tell.

the only full scene at least. A couple montages in BCS feature parts with rain: the Something Stupid one, and the one where Kim has the colored post-it notes on the window.

Kim and Jesse. Both got partners who got carried away too much in this criminal game. To the point they got their lives messed up leaving them traumatized.
But both break free from that life in the end. Kindred spirits just talking to each other.
Poor Jesse, in this scene and in the first season of brba he is so innocent and happy, he has no idea of the hellish years he is about to face
