I prefer watching it in the order of bcs (skip the last few episodes) then breaking bad then el camino then the last few episodes of bcs, but only do this after you’ve watched it in order of release
@@fartspit8714 Okay, yeah, I think that's great as long as you've first watched it in the order of release. :) You can indeed pick up on new things that way.
Yeah, although BB happens after BCS, seeing all the Breaking Bad characters in BCS is just such a good feeling. I’m not sure I’d feel the same way if I saw the “BCS” characters in Breaking Bad.
I like how Walt (Granite State) and Gus both realized in bars that they both couldn't leave well enough alone and had to continue with their revenge and leave their drinks behind.
@@CrossoverFan4life oh I didn't know. But the shot of the booze (wine bottle and whiskey glass are pretty much parallel.) Maybe it was implying he was going to finish the bottle with the sommelier but left it full. Above all let's just say Walt didn't finish his drink (whiskey) and Gus didn't finish his snack (the sommelier)
The ending of Better Call Sau felt so... significant. The entire empire of Walter White's falling apart and fates of characters shown. Somebody's killed, somebody's in jail, somebody's on the loose. Seeing Jesse Pinkman talking to Kim Wexler was pretty surreal. I love this feeling of something significant happening... usually I get this feeling on New Year's. What a great show that it made me feel this kinda feeling. It's valuable.
To be totally honest I think the BCS finale was even slightly better than BrBa finale and the final season of BCS ABSOLUTELY makes BrBa better. It's so utterly sad and haunting that Howard lies beneath the superlab next to his killer.
BCS ending was dumb dumb dumb. Saul ranting about “Walter White’s Drug Empire” when it was just simply Walt cooking for Declan and getting paid. Also Jimmy said he made millions laundering Walt’s money but that also wasn’t true as Walt had bought the car wash and Skyler was hiding the excess in the storage unit. Ending of BCS had bizarre retcons.
6:50 I never noticed this. The difference in power is insane! I mean.. just read this.. 🥶😅 Jimmy: Professional suit, seated, diner, longing for what he wants, they click the pen. Saul: Flashy tie and handkerchief, standing, desert, getting what he wants. Saul clicks the pen.
I will die on the hill of watching BCS first until s6e9, then BB, then El Camino, and then BCS s6e10-13. It was an opportunity I was provided and took advantage of. Not knowing the fates of characters was a great experience
Haha. Hmm, I'm not sure what that gives you vs. watching El Camino a bit earlier. I guess it's a bit more logical timeline-wise. The one thing I will say is that I think El Camino is much more powerful when a lot of time elapses after the Breaking Bad finale. I don't know that it's exciting enough when people watch it right after the finale.
Another great video. It's amazing how Saul went from a comic relief to the final face we see in the franchise. I incorrectly guessed Howard, tbf, if you don't consider corpses I'm technically right
I agree with your statement at the end on which order to watch the shows. When BB was made, they didn't even think of making BCS so the worldbuilding, the context, the implications of their actions were done episode by episode. BCS greatly expands the established characters, recontextualizing them and giving the audience a brand new perspective. However, watching BCS first really drives home how much of a force Walt was that he managed to tear down 6 years worth of buildup in just a year and a half. But then again, BCS was made with the understanding that people have already watched BB beforehand so characters, their introductions and their motives might feel out of place for new viewers
Great summation. Its been a year since BCS ended. I can honestly say now that I have never had a show's ending affect me like BCS's did. The end of BB left me physically exhausted. When Kim walked out of the prison in BCS, I was emotionally crushed. I didn't realize how much I was caught up in their universe in general, and Jimmy and Kim's story in particular. "You had them down to seven years...86...but with good behavior, who knows?"
It was such a bittersweet ending. It's hard to say goodbye to such incredible characters and such an incredible franchise. I hope it stays over and we don't get any more BB content. I can't go through the heartbreak of it ending again.
To me, I'm the kind of guy who likes to watch things in a timeline correct fashion, so if I were to rewatch it all again, I'd definitely watch BCS first
Think you underestimated getting into SW in 2023. Remembering.which era its in, whos dead and alive. Its so much easier for my gf to understand when in timeline order, so was it for me. Who doesn't know the "im your father moment anyways"
Trivia that is useless to think about but I’m saying it anyway. The first POV character by released order is Walter White. The first POV character by chronological order is Jimmy McGill. The final POV character is Kim Wexler.
Fun fact: Emilio had the longest distance between appearances of anybody in the series, only showing up in the first episode of Breaking Bad and the second to last episode of Better Call Saul.
I think @louri8447 is talking about Chuck’s final scene in the series finale. :) One of many characters whose last scene doesn’t match their last in-universe moment!
Emilio’s character has the largest gap, it’s almost absurd. Appears only in episode 1 of breaking bad and the penultimate episode of better call Saul, a 14 year gap
Fantastic video, i truly appreciate your willingness to let scenes play out without commentary, while ALSO not just making a simple compilation. You even managed to show me a few things i havent ever noticed, like how similar the Skylers last scene was to that of Jesse meeting Kim. Hope this kickstarts your channel into something big!
Thank you so much!! It’s a delicate balance. Well, this is unexpectedly my most-viewed video so far, so hopefully the algorithm keeps finding the Breaking Bad fans out there like you!
@@betterwatchtv As someone who's also blown up on social media overnight some small advice that i really wish i had : The algorithm will slow down and numbers will drop. Don't be discouraged! Focus on the subscribers and returning viewers you've gained and keep making content you love, then you will keep growing, even if it's not always explosive-growth! I will stick around, wouldn't be suprised to see you post your silver play button within the next year ;)
Don't forget we see Howard and Chuck through the lens of a TV show where they're given importance which would be lacking in real life: if you were fired from a job and a few years later, one of your bosses (who were never particularly kind to you) died, would you turn up at their memorial? Probably not.
My girlfriend couldn’t get into Breaking Bad at first because of all the violence, but BCS was a nice lower-energy way to introduce her to the universe. It’s not release order, but it’s worked well enough
I feel very cool that I guessed who the dead person final scene was, because he's never seen anywhere else. He has the perfect conclusion and a really satisfying going out. Obviously I wont say who it is for spoiler reasons lmao Also, I still love that Walter's final scene is just him being a "smarter than you" redditor asshole lmao, it fits his character so well
Haha, awesome! I’m still a little confused why Walt yells at Saul to “speak up” toward the beginning of that scene. It feels kind of random, and I don’t know if there’s some reason for it that I’m missing.
@betterwatchtv Honestly, you can't really tell with Walter, but I'm assuming it's just supposed to show the difference between the two Saul is clearly unhappy with everything and this entire identity change isn't even something he wants to do, while Walter is blindly trying to get through things without any care for other people Basically, Walt's just a dick and he'll take any excuse to be mean to anyone lmao
@@betterwatchtvThe "speak up" is an old, popular, universal, manipulative technique for intimidating someone. Basically, Walter didn't want to talk to him and Saul starts the conversation with reluctance and hesitation. He pretended he didn't hear him because some people, when they say that, they realize the chasm between them and usually reply with "Forget it. It was nothing". BB broken down Saul would do that, but BCS Saul with the weight of Jimmy Magill on his shoulders continues. Just like a young person during an interview or a large group. In the midst of the conversation, "Speak up/ Repeat yourself. We can't hear you." Oftentimes, the receiver gets discouraged by that and everyone could see it. Besides, Walter was a typical strict teacher, so, he always knew how to be authoritative or "bully" others. Simple but effective.
I personally also like to use that scene with Saul and Walter (and the ending of BCS) as the way to properly frame how Saul saw Walter the entire time. Walter's always thinking he's the big stuff while being surprisingly vulnerable without Saul bailing him out in many cases. Despite all Saul did, Walter always had a low opinion of him, given the "So you were always like this" comment. Walter only saw Saul as a useful idiot that his ego needed him to be, and Saul saw Walter as another Chuck, only with all the qualities of a self-serving egomaniac and none of the endearing traits that Jimmy and Chuck had, but ultimately tried to bury.
Sharon Vince&Peters CSA originally wanted to cast me for Emilios role. Told her I’m a sushi chef not an actor but anytime you need to cast a chef then hit me up. I served them all at Amagis sunset&gower next to their reading room from ‘04-‘06 fulltime then to ‘10 off n on. I Have soo many stories serving celebs at over 20venues in 30+yrs😅
Of all the deaths, for me Nacho's was the saddest, followed by Brock's mom Andrea. The scene where Jesse is forced to watch her being murdered is just horrific.
Of all of the characters in these tv shows and movie, for me anyway, the break-out sweethearts were Badger and Skinny Pete. What those characters did for Jessie in El Camino was amazing. They saw a friend that was in need, and sacrificed everything to make sure their buddy was going to be okay, they even gave up their cars, that's friendship.
Thank you very much! I was worried about the video being too long (since I normally aim for 5-8 minutes) but I clearly drew the line too aggressively! Especially since all I needed to do was tack on a few more seconds to the hearing scene!
Well! Then you’re in the right place! You’ll get even more trivia in my other videos, including the one that just dropped today! Thanks for the comment!
I personally love Episode 9 from Season 6: 'Fun & Games', it's probably my favorite Episode from the whole Breaking Bad Universe, and I think it is because they were able to finish lots of stories in one single episode, even closing Jimmy McGill's arc story, and then finish the episode showing Saul Goodman in all its essence... That could've the ending of Better Call Saul, and it would've been perfect, but then just to show what was really left to say: Saul Goodman's ending, that was actually the real ending for Jimmy.
hey , great video! after watching everything in BB universe this was a fun reminder of all the characters. keep up the great content, and you are very underrated
Love that you considered the Popcorners commercial. It's really funny that as of today, it's one of the last pieces of Breaking Bad content we'll be getting in a while.
Watching this, if they are going in chronological order there are a lot of major characters whose final scene is their death scene, if they are going in order of release the only once I can think of is Nacho.
Fun fact : 6:56 the title of the the episode is a reference to aron rolstan's book 'between a rock and hard place' based on the true event that he was in when he cut his own arm off to free himsef from being wedged between a large rock and a caynon wall for about 5 days.
Wow I was surprised to see that you only have 1.59k Subscribers! You made such a good video that goes in depth very well. Please keep what your doing I will definitely be there for when you RUclips channel blows up.
That's her final in-universe scene (shown in ruclips.net/video/xW-9IXpjGrY/видео.html) but that was actually one episode earlier than the scene I show in this video!
Walts line you were always like this come from the fact he is taking jimmy at his word when he says his regrets are bad knees Now was jinmy always like this to an extent yes. Bcs isn't a story about change its about failing to change for the better For the most part jimmy is negatively progressing but is mostly regressing and the ending is sort of about jimmy proving even though he did become slippin jimmy with a law degree he could change peter gould said that j8mmy had earned back his humanity and wouldn't repeat his actions but he did also state he isnt sure he necessarily redeemed himself in the sense that he cant undo the damage he caused but in his mind he has finaly changed into a better person even if it's in a prison
Wow, well done. This is my first video and I think you were outstanding. Smart, well written, well spoken and I do love it when the narrator has good grammar. In addition I love it when the scenes are clear and concise I will subscribe and a look forward to more videos. 😊
The way I watched the shows/film was. 1. Better Call Saul S1-S6 Ep1 - 9, 2. Breaking Bad, 3. Better Call Saul S6 Ep10 - 13, 4. El Camino. I understood that the final 4 episodes and El Camino can be watched either way after the majority of BCS and the entirety of BB but I kinda got spoiled for the ending of BCS and where Saul/Jimmy ends up and I felt that El Camino had somewhat of a happier ending so I saved that for last.
First watch in chronological order: First Better Call Saul (S1 EP1-S6 EP9), then Breaking Bad, then El Camino, and then Better Call Saul (S6 EP10-S6 EP13) Second watch in chronological order: First Breaking Bad, then El Camino, and then Better Call Saul Third watch in release date order: First Breaking Bad, then Better Call Saul (Season 1-4), then El Camino, and then Better Call Saul (Season 5-6).
Ngl, it'd be pretty cool if at some point you did the opposite of these two videos with every character's "First Scene" and every characters "Introduction" in the Breaking Bad universe
I do have it on my list do to "first scene" one day! Now "Introduction..." that's an interesting thought. I wonder if it would be too similar, but certainly we do have differences for Walt, Skyler, Gretchen, Gus, Hector, ... Something to think about! Thanks!
I think since Walter's story was already concluded perfectly in BB. The writers decided to use his last scenes in BCS to cater towards Saul's own conclusion
I know Walt and Skyler’s last talk is supposed to be the most emotional part and it did a great job at that but for some reason that final flashback of Jane in el Camino almost brought me to tears. So good.
Yeah, that was a miss on my part. I should have included him. (I only included Werner because that scene was right there when I was including Gale's last scene.)
Everytime I watch Huell’s genuine question to Saul about why he does all his shady stuff really made me realize right in the middle of the show that Saul really was the bad guy.
11:28 actually, the last time we see Francesca is when Gene calls her and she takes the hidden money and tells him the news of Albuquerque, who and what happened to all the people he knew
I had also thought that, but that’s only for the “in-universe timeline.” In our timeline (episode release date), that actually happens in episode 11 (Breaking Bad) vs. this scene in episode 12!
"You should always watch things in the order they released, and I'll die on that hill." I am in 100% agreement for the first watch. BB and BCS are a perfect example. BCS references a lot of prior knowledge from BB, and if a viewer doesn't have that prior knowledge then context or reveals in BCS fall completely flat. BB establishes and worldbuilds, BCS enhances, expands, recontextualises and shows new/different perspectives. On subsequent reruns, watch a series however you like. You can go chronologically in-universe, or watch it in entirety in reverse from the last episode. Shuffle and splice every single frame at random from every episode. Who cares? It's your experience.
@@betterwatchtv I love that you're still reading comments and taking other POVs into consideration. Thanks for the great video, I'll be sure to check out some more!
ReWatched Breaking Bad for umpteenth time then watched Better call Saul for 2nd time. Saul was a must better watch with Breaking Bad fresh in my memory. These 2 shows hav the best character development of any show I’ve ever seen on TV. The way the writers answered questions about how these characters got to where they were in Breaking was brilliant. Even characters like Crazy 8. For some reason this character intrigued me. Seemed like a good dude deep down. It explains why (when Hank & Steve find 8’s car) they assume somebody “croaked they’re snitch”. Brilliant
I was trying to draw the line somewhere, so Nick was never going to make the cut! But yeah, maybe I should have included Victor, Tyrus, Lawson, Ira, Erin, and Irene (plus Jack, Andrea, and Kuby). I almost included Paige, but her last scene was pretty uneventful.
@@betterwatchtv yeah Nick was just a background character pretty much, Tyrus buried Howard and Lalo while Victor was making sure Kim stayed calm Danny was a key figure for Hector's wheelchair situation and the old woman Irene Landry I believe
@betterwatchtv I'm watching the breaking bad universe in order BCS first until the episode Fun and Games, Breaking Bad in its entirety, El Camino and now I'm going to watch the 4 final episodes of BCS
@betterwatchtv it makes sense more story wise but because of the camera and lighting and all that feels like Breaking Bad never even happened and that it was just a dream of Jimmy
i have watched the entire universe in the release order (multiple times) and most recently watched it in timeline order. both have positives and negatives. i feel there's no wrong way to watch it, but watching it in release order probably makes the most sense.
@@betterwatchtv it's all good! this is the first time i've seen your channel, and i thought this was a good video. i'll take a look at some of your other videos.
"Incredibly there's only one major character whose final scene is the moment they die." I mean when you think about it, that's quite obvious with the second series being a prequel. It's in its nature to show characters before they died.
I haven't watched the latest season of "Better Call Saul" partly because my dad was really into the show and he passed before that season aired. I think it will be hard for me to watch it and want to talk about it afterwards.
Peter only appeared in one episode of Breaking Bad, and one episode of Better Call Saul, for someone who played an important role for Gus, he barely gets anything.
I personally recommend watching "Breaking Bad" first, then "El Camino" and then "Better Call Saul". The story flows best this way.
Makes sense!
I prefer watching it in the order of bcs (skip the last few episodes) then breaking bad then el camino then the last few episodes of bcs, but only do this after you’ve watched it in order of release

Its really good for that mnay subs
Thank you, Mr. Potato! Soon it will have more than 2k! 🤞
I'm saddened that the actor who played as Hector Salamanca passed away
Indeed. RIP!

Amazing montage and a very original concept. Your videos are so great !
Thank you so much! I almost didn't get this one out on time due to getting sick, but I'm glad you like it!
Another great concept & video. Loved it. Kinda got emotional by seeing that title "Kim Wexler & Jimmy McGill". Farewell..
Aww, thanks!!
I knew exactly who the only major character who's final appearance was his death from the moment that question was asked.
Great!You're a true fan!
10:00 In a weird way that final shot evokes Walt’s unfinished Scotch from the end of “Granite State”
Yeah! I had never thought of that before this video!
This vid combines two of my favorite things.
The Breaking Bad universe and random trivia. 😎
Well! Then you’re in the right place! You’ll get even more trivia in my other videos, including the one that just dropped today! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the reminder of the amazing arc from this series. Truly incredible.
You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment!
I guessed
Also as I'm typing you said that Kaylee's only Season 6 scene is in Axe and Grind, but she also appeared in Wine and Roses.
Oops, you're right! I was thinking of Stacey!
I would say the courtroom confession was the final scene of Saul Goodman. The farewell with Kim was the final scene of Jimmy McGill.
Ah, nice!
Regardless of the order you watch them in, no moment screams "oh fuck" like Lalo walking in out of nowhere behind Howard when he's mid rant.
That's true!
No, I think it’d have to be the final acts of ‘To'hajiile’ .
Damn! This video is realy well made. This deserves more views. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I’m glad I got your view!
I personally love Episode 9 from Season 6: 'Fun & Games', it's probably my favorite Episode from the whole Breaking Bad Universe, and I think it is because they were able to finish lots of stories in one single episode, even closing Jimmy McGill's arc story, and then finish the episode showing Saul Goodman in all its essence... That could've the ending of Better Call Saul, and it would've been perfect, but then just to show what was really left to say: Saul Goodman's ending, that was actually the real ending for Jimmy.
That's a great way of thinking about it!
Now do the based on timeline last scene
I think I will add that to my list! Thanks!
Marco's last appearance was in S1 E6 of the hit animated show "Slippin' Jimmy" and it's a crime he was forgotten
Haha, so true!
hey , great video! after watching everything in BB universe this was a fun reminder of all the characters. keep up the great content, and you are very underrated
Thank you! 🫡
I watched El Camino last and it was in my opinion the best way to end off the Breaking Bad franchise.
Interesting. That’s actually what I did as well, but it wasn’t pre-planned. I can certainly see the argument for that order.
This was a well researched and incredibly well edited video! You’ve gained a new subscriber!
Thanks! I’m glad you’re here!
that gus deleted scene coulda been so good
Yeah! Would have been great (although the scene was already long).
I don't understand why you didn't mention Bill Oakley, he is present and does matter for the whole series
Ah! You’re right, I should have mentioned him, especially because we were basically right there anyway!
rip Mark Margolis
RIP Mark!
Love that you considered the Popcorners commercial. It's really funny that as of today, it's one of the last pieces of Breaking Bad content we'll be getting in a while.
I hadn’t thought of it that way! Thanks! Also funny because the Popcorners commercial makes a quick cameo in my next video (on April 1st)…
Hopefully they make a Salamanca series so we can finally see all the salamancas together(Except for Hector and Abuelita, Rest in Peace o7)
Watching this, if they are going in chronological order there are a lot of major characters whose final scene is their death scene, if they are going in order of release the only once I can think of is Nacho.
I can think of another one too now, I am writing here so you know I didn't edit. Lalo, another guess.
Nacho is who I was looking for! Lalo is one of many who are briefly shown after their moment of death!
@@betterwatchtv Great video, I would say a dead body doesn't count, so I would add Lalo, but I would've missed Howard by own rules.
Gotcha! Indeed, if dead bodies count then there are lots we could add!
Fun fact
: 6:56 the title of the the episode is a reference to aron rolstan's book 'between a rock and hard place' based on the true event that he was in when he cut his own arm off to free himsef from being wedged between a large rock and a caynon wall for about 5 days.
Woah, I didn’t know about the book, but supposedly the expression dates back to Greek mythology!
Wow I was surprised to see that you only have 1.59k Subscribers! You made such a good video that goes in depth very well. Please keep what your doing I will definitely be there for when you RUclips channel blows up.
I’m glad you’re here to help me grow!
This video is great! I would have loved to see more characters like Bill Oakley, Bogdan, Danny Wormald, Wendy or Jack Welker.
Thanks. Indeed, those would have been great characters to include (plus Combo)! I do regret leaving them out!
Francesca’s last scene was on Better Call Saul when she was on the pay phone talking with Saul 😮
That's her final in-universe scene (shown in ruclips.net/video/xW-9IXpjGrY/видео.html) but that was actually one episode earlier than the scene I show in this video!
I love Clifford Main, he was by far the most good person in BCS
Yeah, probably true in terms of adult major characters!
Seeing Emilio at the tail end of BCS is like chefs kiss for the BB cameos
That *was* great!
I wonder why they deleted the final scene of Gus, it would've been so good
Yeah, my only guess is that the restaurant scene was pretty long already.
I still think my favorite scene in all of this is the "Best two hitmen west of the Mississippi" scene with the laser dots on Gretchen and Elliott.
And a great goodbye to those two… until El Camino!
Walt died, Jesse escaped, and Saul went to prison
Yes, but only Saul's ending is his last scene (in the real-world episode release timeline)!
Walts line you were always like this come from the fact he is taking jimmy at his word when he says his regrets are bad knees
Now was jinmy always like this to an extent yes. Bcs isn't a story about change its about failing to change for the better
For the most part jimmy is negatively progressing but is mostly regressing and the ending is sort of about jimmy proving even though he did become slippin jimmy with a law degree he could change peter gould said that j8mmy had earned back his humanity and wouldn't repeat his actions but he did also state he isnt sure he necessarily redeemed himself in the sense that he cant undo the damage he caused but in his mind he has finaly changed into a better person even if it's in a prison
Yeah, I think his actions during the hearing indicate personal growth. Thanks for watching and the great comment!
10:01 it’s ok guys I’m still alive
The kid on the dirt bike that was dissolved in acid was the worst death of all.
I agree!
Well, at least he didn’t feel anything…
10:45 Love the thought bubble flashbacks with Cliff's last scene
😁 Thanks!
Wow, well done. This is my first video and I think you were outstanding. Smart, well written, well spoken and I do love it when the narrator has good grammar. In addition I love it when the scenes are clear and concise
I will subscribe and a look forward to more videos. 😊
Woo-hoo! Thank you so much! Grammar has always been important to me!
@@betterwatchtv Glad to hear that.
Man they should've kept that final extended Gus BCS scene
Yeah!
I'm pretty sure the major character whose death is their last scene in the timeline is Nacho because he's not in breaking bad or el camino.
Yep (and that scene happened after BB & EC in the real-world timeline that I’m using here)!
@betterwatchtv very clever indeed!
The way I watched the shows/film was. 1. Better Call Saul S1-S6 Ep1 - 9, 2. Breaking Bad, 3. Better Call Saul S6 Ep10 - 13, 4. El Camino. I understood that the final 4 episodes and El Camino can be watched either way after the majority of BCS and the entirety of BB but I kinda got spoiled for the ending of BCS and where Saul/Jimmy ends up and I felt that El Camino had somewhat of a happier ending so I saved that for last.
That’s how you watched everything the first time?? Or was this a rewatch?
@@betterwatchtv first time, the rewatches had me watching el camino after BB then the ending episodes of BCS
Interesting!
The Popcorners commercial is per gold, even if the actual chips themselves aren’t very good.
Hahaha
First watch in chronological order: First Better Call Saul (S1 EP1-S6 EP9), then Breaking Bad, then El Camino, and then Better Call Saul (S6 EP10-S6 EP13)
Second watch in chronological order: First Breaking Bad, then El Camino, and then Better Call Saul
Third watch in release date order: First Breaking Bad, then Better Call Saul (Season 1-4), then El Camino, and then Better Call Saul (Season 5-6).
Huh. Interesting!
Ngl, it'd be pretty cool if at some point you did the opposite of these two videos with every character's "First Scene" and every characters "Introduction" in the Breaking Bad universe
I do have it on my list do to "first scene" one day! Now "Introduction..." that's an interesting thought. I wonder if it would be too similar, but certainly we do have differences for Walt, Skyler, Gretchen, Gus, Hector, ... Something to think about! Thanks!
Huel: You make good money, right?
Saul: Reasonably
😂 Missed opportunity!
I think since Walter's story was already concluded perfectly in BB. The writers decided to use his last scenes in BCS to cater towards Saul's own conclusion
Yep, sounds right!
I liked the commentary, nice work!
Thank you very much!
I know Walt and Skyler’s last talk is supposed to be the most emotional part and it did a great job at that but for some reason that final flashback of Jane in el Camino almost brought me to tears. So good.
It was quite a surprise!
You completely skipped Jack. Was he not worth it at all?
Even Werner was there
Yeah, that was a miss on my part. I should have included him. (I only included Werner because that scene was right there when I was including Gale's last scene.)
Loved the whole 3series wish it could lasted forever
Yeah!
Mark Margolis' best role since he played "Cosner, just Cosner," madam's driver, in a Columbo episode.
I’ll have to check that out!
Everytime I watch Huell’s genuine question to Saul about why he does all his shady stuff really made me realize right in the middle of the show that Saul really was the bad guy.
Yeah!
You frogot jack
Yeah, I included him in the next variation of this video that I did (but still accidentally forgot Combo 😥)
@@betterwatchtvi think anderia was frogoten too
Yeah, she definitely should have been!
11:28 actually, the last time we see Francesca is when Gene calls her and she takes the hidden money and tells him the news of Albuquerque, who and what happened to all the people he knew
I had also thought that, but that’s only for the “in-universe timeline.” In our timeline (episode release date), that actually happens in episode 11 (Breaking Bad) vs. this scene in episode 12!
"You should always watch things in the order they released, and I'll die on that hill."
I am in 100% agreement for the first watch. BB and BCS are a perfect example. BCS references a lot of prior knowledge from BB, and if a viewer doesn't have that prior knowledge then context or reveals in BCS fall completely flat. BB establishes and worldbuilds, BCS enhances, expands, recontextualises and shows new/different perspectives.
On subsequent reruns, watch a series however you like. You can go chronologically in-universe, or watch it in entirety in reverse from the last episode. Shuffle and splice every single frame at random from every episode. Who cares? It's your experience.
Great point! I should have said "for the first watch." Thanks!
@@betterwatchtv I love that you're still reading comments and taking other POVs into consideration. Thanks for the great video, I'll be sure to check out some more!
Of course! The discussions are the best part of posting RUclips videos! I learn a lot and get great ideas from people like you. Thanks for being here!
I’m guessing that either nacho or lalo is the character who’s final scene is his death
Yes, one of them (and only one)!
7:58 what about Howard Hamlin?
His last scene is later (while being buried)!
Awesome video mate! Great concept and idea!
Thank you very much!
watch in release order. then wait about a year or two. then watch in chronological order
I like that! 💯
ReWatched Breaking Bad for umpteenth time then watched Better call Saul for 2nd time. Saul was a must better watch with Breaking Bad fresh in my memory.
These 2 shows hav the best character development of any show I’ve ever seen on TV. The way the writers answered questions about how these characters got to where they were in Breaking was brilliant. Even characters like Crazy 8. For some reason this character intrigued me. Seemed like a good dude deep down. It explains why (when Hank & Steve find 8’s car) they assume somebody “croaked they’re snitch”. Brilliant
Yes!! The Breaking Bad characters in Better Call Saul are what inspired me to start this channel: ruclips.net/video/-1GnjSQGp9w/видео.html
then the events of men in black 3 happen 2 years later. memories of that life erased from our minds.
🤣
You forgot to mention Nick, Victor,Tyrus, Arturo Colon, Lawson, Ira, Danny,Erin, and the old woman
I was trying to draw the line somewhere, so Nick was never going to make the cut! But yeah, maybe I should have included Victor, Tyrus, Lawson, Ira, Erin, and Irene (plus Jack, Andrea, and Kuby). I almost included Paige, but her last scene was pretty uneventful.
@@betterwatchtv yeah Nick was just a background character pretty much, Tyrus buried Howard and Lalo while Victor was making sure Kim stayed calm
Danny was a key figure for Hector's wheelchair situation and the old woman Irene Landry I believe
@betterwatchtv I'm watching the breaking bad universe in order BCS first until the episode Fun and Games, Breaking Bad in its entirety, El Camino and now I'm going to watch the 4 final episodes of BCS
Oh wow. Enjoy!
@betterwatchtv it makes sense more story wise but because of the camera and lighting and all that feels like Breaking Bad never even happened and that it was just a dream of Jimmy
i have watched the entire universe in the release order (multiple times) and most recently watched it in timeline order. both have positives and negatives. i feel there's no wrong way to watch it, but watching it in release order probably makes the most sense.
I realized that I should have said "the first time you watch it." I think it is really cool to watch in timeline order for a second viewing!
@@betterwatchtv it's all good! this is the first time i've seen your channel, and i thought this was a good video. i'll take a look at some of your other videos.
Thanks! 🙏 I’m glad you found it!
"Incredibly there's only one major character whose final scene is the moment they die."
I mean when you think about it, that's quite obvious with the second series being a prequel. It's in its nature to show characters before they died.
I guess! Although prequel characters like Chuck, Lalo, or Howard could have fit this description but don’t!
@@betterwatchtv True.
I haven't watched the latest season of "Better Call Saul" partly because my dad was really into the show and he passed before that season aired. I think it will be hard for me to watch it and want to talk about it afterwards.
I’m so sorry. That makes perfect sense.
New channel that analyzes movies and the like? Count me in!
Awesome! Welcome!!
Peter only appeared in one episode of Breaking Bad, and one episode of Better Call Saul, for someone who played an important role for Gus, he barely gets anything.
Good point!
And i watched all in 2023
Awesome! Binging is a great way to do it!
I thought we would have see Skyler and Walt Jr again. Maybe in the Saul's court scene? Sitting next to Marie..
Yeah, you’d think so. I imagine Anna Gunn wasn’t on board.
Haven't watched the video, but who else than Nacho Varga?
I have to check if I'm right.
Nobody else!
another great video my guy.
Thank you!!
Nacho's and Howard's death probably the most saddest for me....
How would you compare them to Hank?
