Jeff K

Hell yes. The moment I've been waiting for is finally here.

Ginger

So looking forward to this and the next couple of weeks :)

Sumner Hayes

Please tell me you're putting up a poll for next week's episode of “Simone Sings Destiny's Child”.

5 years later and Hank would just be on his smartphone instead of picking up a book

Daniel Bjork

I would just again like to say that i would really, really like it if ya’ll started including the subtitles on these full lengths.

Stugotz

So neither Walt or Mike could be considered "good people", they've killed people and they've done pretty horrible things, but I think what makes Mike a likeable character is the way he treats the people he loves and cares about. The things he does for his granddaughter and the care he has for Jesse really makes him much more likeable than Walter who treats Skyler and Jesse like shit.

TA Slay

OK gotta stop and post this after your opening canker sore story, either Oral B or Colgate mouth sore rinse. Use it like mouthwash, after about 3 or 4 days the sore will be gone. Good products.

Ootlander

You two don't know how lucky you are to be able to watch E9 next week, we had to wait over a year for Hank to finish taking his dump.

Carlos Hurtado

Walt's "I just realized I could get the names from Lydia" line makes my blood boil every time. as soon as Walter offered to help Mike, I knew it was over. The first time I saw the show with my boyfriend he yelled "Oh, fuck you walt". It cracked me up because he's a pretty quiet tv viewer other than the occasional chuckle or question.

"Say my Name". 🔥🔥 Heisenberg was not much more than a meth myth up until today. Once they realize who he is, Declan's actor especially portrays a delicate fear so perfectly. This old bald guy with glasses who dresses like an average American, is the biggest name in the meth business. This show is so good- it's almost surreal. Maybe the best moment in television history... Gliding Over All has a lot of callbacks while advancing the story significantly. It's titled Gliding Over All for a few reasons, the episode glides over a good amount of time- 3 months I believe. Hank gliding over Walter being his Heisenberg up until now and "gliding" is mentioned in the Walt Whitman poem. Hank's summer job of marking specific trees in a certain grid, crews coming later and finding the trees and cutting them down is a simile for Walt using Jack's crew to take out those 10 guys in jail. I love Walt's realization in this episode of enough is enough. Walt looking at the mangled towel dispenser thinking how far he's come since 4 Days Out specifically, to bringing up the RV at Jesse's- reminiscing on the "good old days". You can see Walt still looks at him as a son... Jr. playing peekaboo with Holly at Hank and Marie's is a callback to the Peekaboo episode 0206. Holly even has orange on for the red head kid from the episode. There's a black beetle (another symbol of innocence) in Walt's backyard in that final scene, also a callback to the opening scene of Peekaboo. Holly is wearing pink in that scene, also symbolism for innocence from the teddy bear in season 2. So many callbacks leading up to one of the biggest moments the audience has been waiting for for almost the entire show- Hank finding out about Walt. The painting from the hospital in 0203 is in this episode but this particular one looks a lot more weathered. A clever way of saying even though Walt is out of the game, he's already departed- tainted and there's no going back to a "normal life" with his family. The man in the painting is departing from his family while gliding over the blue water. "Learn to take 'yes' for an answer" is what Mike told Walt in the past as well as Walt starting to have his drinks on the rocks as a nod to Mike after he killed him. Walt mimicked Gus and Mike after each their death. Lydia's line: "We're going to make a lot of money together" is Tuco's line to Walt from season 1.

The Les Miserables moment- Walt can't stop cooking and Hank can't stop hunting....and what will happen

Steve H

My sister had given me BBD episodes, and "Gliding over all" was all I had for the end. Later I would discover there was more.

Actuarial Lurker

Lydia is neurotic...once she saw that Walter took out Mike and all the others she knows she can't mess with him

ThePVO

re: Canker Sores, I used to get them regularly when I was young, and the only thing that actually clears them up is salt. Hold your tongue or lip out and pack the sore with salt. It will sting like a MOTHER for 2-3 minutes before eventually going numb. Rinse it and all the white of the sore will be gone, and it won't hurt much at all and will be totally healed in 24 hrs.

Christen

Back when the show aired there was a lot of talk of the trophies Walt kept from people he killed or considered conquests of his manipulation. Sometimes it was a literal object and sometimes it was a behavior. For example, cutting the crusts off his sandwiches after he did it for Krazy 8. The eyeball from the plane crash. The watch Jesse gave him. The book is his trophy from Gale. He felt proud that Gale admired him so he wanted to keep his trophy where he could see it.

Tim T—

Live-Watchers had to wait from 2 September 2012 till 11 August 2013! (A day later for us Live-Torrentorians.)

OldBeardedGuyReacts

The ending of episode 8 was like watching the twist at the end of a Saw movie....but they made you wait 5 years for it.

idrinkthere4iam

So funny how Skyler goes from being “terrified for her children’s live” to “oh you’re out, let’s get the kids back into the house immediately” Such a hypocrite…

Jeff K

I think you're spot on. Walt is entirely self-serving. He can claim he's doing things for his family, but he's clearly entirely driven by ego and pride. Mike is not a great person, but he shows through actions that he's in this for his family, and doesn't talk about it. Walt is all talk, but his actions demonstrate that's not what he's really in this for.

Vwlss Nvwls

The way Jesse is around Skylar, showing her respect, really shows his true nature. He was never a bad person, despite the drugs, and making drugs (before Walt). He is just a good kid who lost his way.

Philipp Roensch

Why did Walt keep the book? You've named it multiple times, ego, Walt would not let go of that admiration for him. From a Nerd he shared a connection with and then killed. Speaking of Kills, Jesse was definitely scared of Walt here, last time he heard of Walt 10 people died. Something not really spelled out, the Toronto(?) guys took a 33% share, Lydia offered the better distribution deal with more payoff, it is implied that Walt went over the others, so a clean out this is not. The big reveals in this half-point episodes were off the charts. Another details I loved, the family dynamic went from family dinners with low-cholesterol veggie bacon, to eating ready-made meals alone in the dark. :D

Ballsac McGee

In retrospect, I find it kinda satisfying seeing mike get killed. He gives this speech about how it's all walter's fault but that's not true. They are the one's threatened his and his family's life. Walt just fought back. Mike's just mad that he was the one who lost.

idrinkthere4iam

Everyone continues to underestimate Walter. Gus did. Mike did. Hank did. And Jesse certainly still does. Walt is undeniably an asshole and an egomaniac, but no one ever expects him to fight back, and when Walt fights back, he tends to win. Call it luck if you want, but you’d be underestimating him as well.

idrinkthere4iam

He murdered someone in cold blood. Jesse is not a good kid that lost his way. Don’t forget, if not for Jesse, who does Walt cook with?

shaneth138

Buckle up. Y'all haven't seen nothin' yet. These next 8 episodes are the most compelling television in the history of man.

Jay Willis

I don't know if I'd call her a hypocrite here. she's not terrified that Walt is going to kill his children. She's terrified that Walt's involvement in the meth business will get them killed. If she believes Walt that he's done and out and that they're safe, why would she wait to bring her children home? Her whole thing has been a) she wants her children safe, and b) she doesn't want them to know what Walt has done. Both of those things are done in her mind, she can now bring them home and be near them without them being in danger. It's 100% a bit rushed for the sake of the show. We don't know exactly how long it is between those two scenes, probably a few week. But I don't think we're meant to infer it's next day and they're all chummy next to the pool. But I don't think Skylar is being a hypocrite by bringing her children home after Walt quits making meth.

Sara Something

This is my third rewatch of bb and on this time around I’ve been trying to think through why I have such deep feelings of dislike for Walt. The first time around I enjoyed him as a character and even rooted for him. But on the following watches I dislike him more and more. Bryan’s acting and the shows writing are great and the arc we see him go on is expertly portrayed. But I always find myself missing Gus in this season even the first time watching. Seeing these episodes made me realize that I think it’s Walt’s lack of planning. He’s clearly incredibly smart and finds his way out of every problem. But often the problems are of his own creation and his incredibly smart actions are reactions. You watch Gus and Mike, arguably more evil than Walt but I love watching them and it’s because they have thought of everything beforehand. They planned each step and set up every possible stop gap. The only thing that defeats them is Walt’s luck. If you take Jesse out of Walt’s equation think of the amount of times Walt would have died from Gus or Mike. But Walt was lucky enough to fall in with just the right person who needed a father figure and was weak in many ways that Walter took advantage of when it suited him… Walt returns the favor sometimes and they are a legendary codependent duo. In the end it just makes me dislike Walt because his ego makes him weak as an antagonist to me. I get that entertainment is subjective and others probably disagree, and that doesn’t bother me. Just felt like sharing my rambling thoughts.

Ootlander

I don't get the sympathy for Skyler at this point in the show, I stopped feeling bad for her when she insisted on being a part of the operation by laundering the money, she stopped being a victim at that moment, not to mention she was already committing multiple felonies by cooking Ted's books.

Jim Beehler

Just imagine having to wait all those months for the next episode like I did when it first aired...

Dan Holmes

on a rewatch you can see walt put the Leaves of Grass book on his nightstand early on this season when moving back in. He chuckles to himself as he briefly reminisces about Gayle with a smile on his face. His downfall is his own hubris.

p0sthum4n

Tbh I might just wait til next week cuz I don't want to have to deal with the Cinebinge cliff hanger.

p0sthum4n

"Heheh oh Gayle, that silly bastard I had assassinated by a former student 😆 Great fucking coffee though"

Kevin

This was the most painful year wait ever. Speaking of Malcom in the Middle, once this season is over watch the little BB-Malcom crossover they filmed.

TechPriest

She stopped being a victim earlier than that. The moment she forced Walt to pay for Hank's therapy was when she started having her cake and eating it too.

JediLounger

"Hank takes a shit" was one of the most pervasive memes of the early 2010's. "I gotta go figure things out like Hank." It was everywhere, and a surprising number of mainstream people were in on the joke.

Bill B.

Solid singing in the intro!!

Shpadow

Since it came up, these aren't "oh neo-nazis for fun." Nah, that's The Aryan Brotherhood. They're a prison gang. Prison gangs are drawn on racial lines. And the Brotherhood has a notoriously out-sized propensity for violence. If you want someone dead in prison, they're probably your first call. Any ideology is superficial to their goals. They've allied with the Black Muslims when it suited them and continue an alliance with the Mexican Mafia. Business always before the bullshit. I doubt this comment will get much traction though, since as far back as American History X, the very notable point about how little they care for ideals was lost in the reaction of "bad guy symbolism ew." Funnily enough, while there's no direct 1:1 comparison to any group in the show - even the cartel is just "The Cartel" when there's several in Mexico alone - you automatically know who the tatted up white boys are the second you connect them with inmate murder. Walt likes to think he has a brand, and he decided to work with a brand he vastly underestimates. These were really bad dudes long before they went to prison and got tatted up.

Patrick

I feel like when George says 1,2,3 Play, I still need to wait a full second and a half to start it in order to sync it up properly.

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field

Love this write up. Even if you took out the slick Godfather-style hit job, Hank’s ending revelation, and the montage of Walt at the zenith of his empire, this episode still works as a tapestry of call backs and references to moments throughout the series so far.

Patrick

Hank talking about his summer job marking trees with paint to be cut down is exactly why paintball guns were invented before it became a recreational sport. /random fact

Jomero

Also you may need to resync after each "commercial break" too. At least, I do.

Mr TV Eye

I'm pretty much with you. It was the same with me, when rewatching the show, you realize way earlier how "evil" Walt really is. How the path to what he became, his pride, his manipulation tactics, his very strange sense of what is morally OK and what not, was hinted on from the beginning. Though I would argue, besides Walt would probably never even got a foot into the whole business without Jesse, Jesse was the cause of a lot of trouble that Walt had, and why he even needed the luck to not being killed by Mike/Gus. Not to say it was wrong from Jesses part to be out for revenge when Gus dealers killed the little kid. But up until that point it was - and could have been - smooth sailing for Walt as Gus cook. It all went downhill for Walt when he saved Jesses life and killed that two dealers.

The scent of film and TV is all over this RUM. Smells like freaking tee ah WANNA

🖤I was watching these as they aired and seeing the cliffhanger knowing the next half was going to be almost a year away, or however long it was, was ABSOLUTE ASSSSSSSSS. That scene earlier in the season where Skylar was screaming "shut up" over and over again? That was me yelling at the credits after the mid-season finale ended but with "F*******K! F*******K! F**************K YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" LOL The next half of the season doesn't disappoint tho.

CD

Did G+S, ever land on a “long” series…once BB is over? I know it was up for discussion. Where and how, is it going to get decided (if it hasn’t already)?

Maiki

"Near the end of Season 5, we will do a long show poll to be fair to everyone who isnt BB universe fans, but the poll will also include Better Call Saul." Poll hasn't happened yet.

Angzarr

The literal "oh shit" cliffhanger!

Thoko

Nah it would be a literal "oh shit" cliffhanger if Hank was rock climbing when he discovered the secret and then Hank messed his underpants because he almost slipped off the cliff

Pajander

It's shown in the montage that both Lydia and the Arizona guys are distributing.

JBK405

I might have mentioned this in a random comment back in the early seasons, but I wasn't IN LOVE with this series on first watch because I viewed Walt as "the bad guy" almost from the very first episode. When other people were having philosophical debates about whether THIS action was justified, or if THAT moment is when he 'turned evil', I was thinking that he was already past the line. For me there wasn't a 'descent' into villainy, he was already there. That meant there was very little suspense or mystery for me because I never considered that he wouldn't stoop to new depths when he felt the situation called for it. So with that perspective, I always feel so vindicated in the back seasons when other people also settle on a deep contempt and hatred for him. It feels a bit like getting to say "I told you so" when they list him as the worst person in the series. I get to puff out my chest and strut saying "Oh yeah, I called it".

Bill B.

Huge information dump (pun absolutely intended) in the last 30 seconds…. Understandable that they’re missing one huge piece (unintentional pun upon edit) to the puzzle!!!! Can’t say it, and can’t wait to see how they react to it!

Nick Kessler

Mikes character lives by a code. He mostly does everything he can with honor. He is more like a good guy who does lots of bad things.

E. D.

I forgot it was that early, I thought hank found out in maybe episode 12 or 13

neez duts

how you guys managed to avoid the say my name meme xD

Kyle Peterson

Walt’s biggest faults are his pride and his ego as we’ve seen many times in this show. Him keeping that book had everything to do with his inflated ego since Gale worshiped the ground he walked on and ultimately led to him getting caught.

Thall

Mike is just as shit a guy as everyone else. He is a murderer and violent. The only difference is that he has something resembling honor, he takes care of his family. Walt does take care of his family too, though. So Walt killed another mass murdering criminal, and personally I am not shedding a tear for Mike. I understand why people would, though.
