When jessie asks jane if she wants to see his tv, you can hear funeral bells ringing in the background forshadowing her demise for accepting the invite.
How did the Cartel know that Tortuga was a snitch? Bolsa says his brother is a police chief. One of these guys in the hotel room was probably working for the cartel, and that's how they learned.
Good point! He seemed to be involved with the DEA for so long, that there might have been several opportunities for them to find out and wait for the right moment for revenge.
fun fact: in Brazilian portuguese translation, a blowfish is a "baiacu". This word's last syllable, cu, means "ass" or "butthole"in portuguese. So someone made an edit removing the "baia" part, making jesse sound like he's saying "I'M AN ASS!!!"
something I recall reading was that in this episode as Jane and Jesse waits for the TV to connect, the text there naturally displays: "*Searching for Connection . . .*", yet that's indirectly symbolic of Jane and Jesse searching for a connection in each other, and then we see them form it as they held each other's hands and became a couple soon after
Never noticed this before but is it worth noting that Jesse coming clean to Jane as soon as his cover’s blown got them closer as opposed to Walt coming clean to Skyler when he had no other choice tore them apart?
Aside from Jane's storyline. The thing about the student complaining about failing chemistry and going "I'm super into the concepts" is pretty on point. Also...concepts? Yes the concepts of "reactions"
Nice! I do plan to keep it up, with the occasional different video for April Fools, Halloween, etc. (Plus Severance might interrupt the series at some point…)
I’ve been binging these all day at work yesterday and I’m doing the same today. These 7 day work weeks go by faster with content like this. Your editing is phenomenal and I wish I had that type of skill. Please keep it up, you’ll be viral in no fucking time bro. Your time is coming soon, actually good content like this isn’t easy to find. You’re an inspiration to me trying to grow my own channel. Keep it up!! 🎉
The dealer episodes really expose that Breaking Bad has no idea how to deal drugs. Not just Walt, but Skinny Pete and Badger too. You don't just front every junkie on the street. Either they have the money, or they don't get anything. You're not meant to be chasing junkies down for your money.
I dont think you mention it but if you look carefully it is a dea agent pulling the head up that causes the explosion and the center of the explosion expolds upward in a way that implies it was buried
I never thought about the buried part, but you’re right. Is it just a flawed special effect (as it’s easier to have the explosion come from under the sand)? Because I do believe that the removal of the head is supposed to be what triggered it, like the turtle was a bomb.
@betterwatchtv without a doubt the bomb is located inside the head (probly emptied the brain and put the bomb in through the neck) and lifting the head up may have a wire that pulled the trigger similar to a landmine or a claymore
@@betterwatchtv true, plus it could be read as character development for Hank. Once he loses his macho man bravado, that's when he can finally think clearly enough to catch Walt (referring to when he's in the wheelchair and starts to up his game on the search). Incredibly edited stuff by the way; is it just you or do you have a team on these videos?
@@betterwatchtv Yeah I’m not sure how to interpret it. You can tell she feels awkward talking about it. I think it confirms that Skyler definitely at least had feelings for Ted before Breaking Bad. Maybe Ted’s “Mr. Grabbyhands” incident wasn’t as one-sided as we think? Also, remember Skyler staring at the picture of the two of them back in S2E1? Maybe they had an affair before the show even started?
@@betterwatchtv SO happy! You make fantastic content. Really glad to be apart of this community. Love your channel and editing style as well as consistency. Happy to be a member! Also loved the turtles 😂 and all the other little edits you throw in. And the mere fact that you show stuff that I've never heard on any other bb video!!
Great episode! Detail 4 was awesome, I never caught that! I’ve seen BB more times than I can count but for some reason I don’t seem to remember Marie saying that line about ‘is Mr Grabby-hands still there?’ When Skyler says she is working for Beneke, but I’m confused… So Marie is referring to Ted at the Christmas party incident but doesn’t realise Ted is the ‘Beneke’ AKA her new boss? That makes that future scene where he shows up unannounced and Marie is there even more suss.. Am I missing something here? Maybe I’m just tired I should know this 😂 Also BB has always felt grounded with natural dialogue but that scene with the biker going ‘you’re pinkman!’ always felt like the most unnatural, weird moment in a close to flawless show to me. What do you think? Again awesome episode, loved being a 🐢
Thanks!! Yeah, and the old turtle cartoon is so surreal. My favorite part of each video is thinking how to feature you guys, and this turtle one is my favorite! Marie probably never saw Ted before... Skyler probably just told her about the incident after an office Christmas party. And Ted's dad used to be the boss, so Marie might have assumed that was still true, like Walt did. So Ted could have left the company in theory. Yeah, "You're Pinkman" was unnatural. Both the acting and the coincidence! Although acting-wise, the most unnatural thing that comes to mind for me is the background family reactions in "4 Days Out" at the end when Walt is told the good news. Mainly the way Junior and Hank react while others are talking. 🤷♂ Thanks again!
I've got a mystery for ya that's been driving me crazy... Who is that green umbrella man in the narcocorrido on the left side of the RV? He's very visually striking but I can't seem to figure out what he's supposed to represent. Any ideas?
Great question!! I must admit that I hadn't previously thought about it. I think the umbrella person is supposed to be Jesse, as "Walt" is on the other side of the RV. As for why "Jesse" is holding an umbrella... Someone had suggested it's a symbol of money laundering, but I can't really find much evidence of that. The most popular theory seems to be that it's just a way to indicate the surrealism of the sequence, as umbrellas are often associated with surrealist paintings!
John Shiban (who'd worked with Vince on The X Files) wrote this one (except for the song lyrics, which were Vince's and then he had them tweaked and translated), the first of three and a half that he penned (the others being 'Phoenix', 'Sunset' and half of 'Abiquiú'). He'd also direct 'Sunset' and three BCS eps. Speaking of directing, Félix Alcalá did this one and Lynne Willingham edited it. Alcalá's fluency in Spanish was instrumental for this episode as some of the band members couldn't speak English at all, and only one of them more or less communicated in Spanglish. I wonder if Vanco's injury foreshadowed Leonel Salamanca's some episodes later. The group who did the song, Los Cuates de Sinaloa, is led by of two blokes who happen to be cousins, unintentionally (or, at least, coincidentally) connecting to the Salamancas (two brothers and two or three cousins, assuming there was at some point another male gangster who sired Joaquín). While they were rehearsing, they started whistling and Thomas asked them to record that as well. The extended version of the track namedrops Tuco and Krazy 8.
@@betterwatchtv ruclips.net/video/Qw11QX7P_s8/видео.htmlsi=EzUZU6TgLkgz0FiC I misremembered, though: they mentioned Tuco, not Emilio. It's now been corrected.
Another fun thing, the man is playing an Electric bass guitar in the band that’s not plugged in. Wouldn’t be able to hear that over the two acoustic guitars! :)
Thank you for taking the time to check out my work. This was my first serious project, and I'm currently focused on producing a short film for my graduation, which I hope will be a unique surprise for everyone. I also plan to work on a few side projects along the way. I really appreciate your support and wanted to mention that I find your videos incredibly entertaining. They helped me catch details I had missed in Breaking Bad.😁😁 Edit: I made it in blender
Knowing that Hank's reaction saved him is funny. Because most of the time it's Walt's inaction that saves himself.
Good point!
When jessie asks jane if she wants to see his tv, you can hear funeral bells ringing in the background forshadowing her demise for accepting the invite.
🤯 I just went back to watch that! I never noticed that! Very cool detail, especially if intentional!

Good point! He seemed to be involved with the DEA for so long, that there might have been several opportunities for them to find out and wait for the right moment for revenge.
The atomic bomb metaphor for Walt makes sense, especially when Mike calls him a ticking time bomb.
Yes! He has no intention of being around for the boom!
@@betterwatchtv He was in Belize
I’m actually visiting Belize IRL soon. I’ll look for him!
@@betterwatchtv vlog it
7:13 I don't know why but I love when Badger says " I wanna be a knight."
Haha, yeah, it's just wholesome!
3:42 "big lunch" is probably my favourite line of the entire show
she ATE that entire baby

Oooo, that’s really cool! Thanks!
No ones talking about the saddest death the turtle 😢
Very true! That poor turtle didn’t deserve any of this!
I knew that turtle, dude did some bad shit
Never noticed this before but is it worth noting that Jesse coming clean to Jane as soon as his cover’s blown got them closer as opposed to Walt coming clean to Skyler when he had no other choice tore them apart?
Definitely! That is interesting. Thanks!
Jane had lower standards than Skyler, who is managing a house and family
@@Jacob-2796 true
07:51, Skylar used the same line when Walt was not responding after he returned home shocked by Tuco killing No Doze for absolutely nothing at all
Ahhh, you're right!! I missed that!
Aside from Jane's storyline. The thing about the student complaining about failing chemistry and going "I'm super into the concepts" is pretty on point.
Also...concepts? Yes the concepts of "reactions"
😂 Yes! He’ll make a reappearance in this Sunday’s video!
I love how you always have an original graphic for the channel members lmaooo
Do they all have bombs rigged to them? Thatd be one crazy explosion
Thanks, it’s my favorite part of making each video. No, I didn’t want to blow them up! 😆
I just realised now that Negro y azul means "Black and Blue", and Better call Saul also has an episode titled Black and Blue! s6e5
Indeed! So many titles have multiple meanings/connections!
@7:50 - You mentioned the TV being black and blue.
Did you notice they're both wearing black shirts and blue jeans?
🤯 No, I didn’t!! Great catch!
Jesse to Walt: Come on in, "Dad" 🙄
Guard at the white house to Peter Griffin: Come on in, "Mr President" 🙄
😂
Don't mention breaking bad and family guy in the same sentence ever again
@@Jacob-2796 Uhh... why?

Good point! Maybe it’s in-character for Skinny Pete and Badger, but you’d think Jesse would explain that to them!
Jesse (jeff) doesn't even know what a blowfish is

5:07 I'll never forgive you for skipping the "Blowfishin' this up" line
Sorry!! Back then I think I was a little more aggressive with the editing because I was worried about the videos being too long!
been waiting for this episode for ages. can’t wait for the next one
Thanks! Someone recently told me that this was the episode where they felt Breaking Bad got really good!
it has cruncH on the BoX
😂🙃
The blowfish analogy directly led to Combo's death. which eventually lead to the collapse of Fring's empire.
🤯
the counter blocks skylars belly from the receptionist shes essentially looking at wall judgementally lol ( had to rewatch you videos are that good)
Ha, yeah! I appreciate it!!
Just finished binge watching this cant wait for the next one
Awesome! Thanks for being here!

i really like your videos. congratz on reaching 10k!
Thanks, Dodo!! I’m going to celebrate with a little giveaway. Look out for a post, probably on Wednesday…
A great video with very cool insights (duck and cover, raising bran, songs that played, calender reference). Keep it up!! 👍
Thanks, Aaron!
so Hank is cool seeing Gonzo dead nd posing with the dead body and joking about it, but Danny Trejo on a turtle is too far huh
Yeah, although in Hank’s defense, a severed head is a lot more gross! Also, maybe it was more about the bomb and the risk to his own life?
@@betterwatchtv true, plus it could be read as character development for Hank.

Skyler gives 3 different answers about why she originally left Beneke Fabricators in this episode, which took me a few viewings to notice.
Oh! Interesting!
@@betterwatchtv Yeah I’m not sure how to interpret it. You can tell she feels awkward talking about it. I think it confirms that Skyler definitely at least had feelings for Ted before Breaking Bad.

That’s very possible! Or it was on the verge of happening and that’s why she quit. But yeah, she definitely already had feelings for him!
i’ve never noticed anything in these videos before thank you so much for the great content!
