K

hank is not a good person... lol .thats the only thing that confuses me with your reactions, hank is literally the most unlikeable person ever. ACAB including Hank Schrader !!!

Kris Robnett

Oh no not a fucking episode!

PCG98

but i got work in 5 hours ;-; no sleep it is then

Edwin Tan

Brilliant episode, but then again aren't they all?

Dammy Oshikoya

They are almost there guys to one of the best episodes ever and boy, I can't wait to see their reactions

Melkor

Tbh I think you are being a bit too hard on Walt he literally offered to give him self up as an option to Skyler she is the one who stopped him from taking that option she is literally on his side if not for her who knows he might not have kept going.

Slaizio

Aaron Paul won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in this episode. deserved

Melkor

Jesse mentioned him and Jane travelling to New Zealand and living there because lord of the rings was filmed there in season 2. xD

Doc Holliday

The Alaska thing gets answered at a later time. These writers leave nothing unanswered.

Chris

Im with Hank on this,but if you look at it without getting emotionally involved i think you must agree that Walt's confession is so fucking smart.Every single thing that he says is playsible...Incredible writing

Danny

lol the amazing and almost miraculous thing is that everything he said in the tape fits and is believable even from a watcher's standpoint. things literally couldve gone how walt said it and everyone wouldve believed him. cuz not only does all the events fit, but his reputation among his colleagues has always been him being a "quiet and humble" person. no one would ever believe he went into the drug business of his own accord. vince is a god tier writer. not to discredit the rest of the episode but that scene right there is one of my favs

db

Racist stuff? Did you not see Hank when the show started? That was his only defining character trait.

ATG

I've always thought this episode is one of the most underrated episodes of the show. I know, I know, it's hard to be called underrated during a season that is considered by many one of the greatest in TV history, but when thinking of the most memorable Breaking Bad episodes, my mind usually goes to the Pilot, ABQ, Half/Full Measures, Face-Off, and ones still to come, etc. But the acting in this is incredible and the actual "confession" -- not the one you think you may get at the beginning of the episode -- is chillingly brilliant. Keep up the great reactions, and prepare to continue to be amazed and, yes, emotionally drained. But it's worth it.

Bryan Givens

This. This is the definition of excellent writing. With so much lazy storytelling out there, this is why BB stands out. But somehow, it still gets better. I can't wait till you finish and start BCS!

A.J.

Vince gets too much credit imho I say this all the tome but breaking bad was a masterpiece because of the collaborative effort, because of a team of writers who were all equally invested and on the same page moving the story to its brilliant conclusion. Vince has even said himself many times that this is the case. It's just like Walter getting all the credit for the 10 guys in jail when really the praise rightfully belongs to Jack and his gang lol. I compare breaking bad to vikings in this way because vikings (although personally my favorite TV show period no contest) definitely suffers from a lot of lost plot and inconsistencies and I think the main reason for that is because Michael hirst was the sole and only writer of the story... breaking bad is what it is because they did the opposite.

FilliFyr

I have always thought that Skylers motivations for doing what she was doing were because of the off chance that Walter dies, due to cancer, before their children ever finds out. She is therefore trying to prolong Hanks investigation into Walter. From what I picked up on your post-episode -discussion, you're not seeing it the same way and you see it more as she trying to save herself? I might have misunderstood you. Great reaction though!

A.J.

Ohh I know a show about protagonists who are murdering psychopaths killing kids, selling meth and doing all manner of absolutely terrible abhorrent unbelievably evil things... jokes about race is where you really draw the line smh

A.J.

Will you two watch Better Caul Saul before or after El Camino?

Suhhh Dude

When this episode came out it spawned a ton of meme videos where ppl made it look like Hank and Marie were watching different stuff lol

Derik Knutson

Can't wait for the next episode when you find out that Hank isn't a saint either. Even though people want to seem to see these character as black and white.

Derik Knutson

And I don't really get what the tape changes as far as Walt's "evilness". He and Skyler already made the determination that he wouldn't confess, so the tape is just to ensure that he doesn't have to. If he had actually turned it into the police than that would be different.

Derek Suboticki

"My problem is not really murder. It's not like - I mean, sure, murder."

BNJ

LOL aside from the stealing Hank wasn't much better. Everyone is flawed, just like in real life. I'm sure you've said something at some point in your life that could be considered racist today.

George

Wow, I wonder if you will ever root for Walter again...

UrbanRats

Beyond the idea of rooting for or against Walter, i think it's interesting that Walter didn't just "become evil". There's a whole web of delusions and rationalizations inside his head, that lead him to do the (horrible) things that he does. For example with Jesse, there's the aspect of his paternalistic delusion of "knowing what's best for Jesse", which was present from the start, that eventually deformed into this absurd destructive relationship. You can argue that somewhere deep down there's still some kind of fatherly love at the root of it, but that's like saying that there's love at the root of an abusive relationship. At some point when you're too obsessed with yourself, like Walt is, you stop seeing the people you love as human beings, as they become instead symbols, part of your delusion. Same with Hank, i think Walt still loves Hank and Marie is some fashion (and why he refused to outright kill them) but that love is completely poisoned by his ego, his past sense of emasculation (in regards to Hank) and again, his constant idea that he knows better, and that the ends justify the means. I think this is what makes the show so fun to watch.

Dan

@Derik Well, I mean, it says a lot about his mindset and commitment to the evil of the tape. Like Emperor Palpatine, it's one thing to kill a bunch of Jedi, but to also live in their house and convince you he's your friend while setting up Order 66 in the background? That's the kind of evil that keeps the good guys up at night. And fellow bad guys, too, probably. You have to be a bit of a sociopath to be able to put on a performance like that. And it could still fall into the wrong hands on accident - what if something happens to Walt or Hank in the next few episodes and the cops find it without Walt or Hank being there to explain it? The police could assume the worst and then you have to fight off a whole narrative that could be really hard to undo.

Dan

@laser dog Yeah, Vince deserves more praise for his leadership and humility than he gets. I do think he's a god-tier writer, but everyone has their faults and blind spots, and he has the strength of character to lead other writers to good storytelling without letting his ego get in the way. I think he said that was the case with Jane's death, and that he had originally been really excited about how Walt would straight up murder Jane, and the team was completely put off by the idea -- and that's why they went back to the drawing board, argued about it, and came up with the genius idea of it all being a quasi-accident where Walt's biggest sin was doing nothing at all. The team came up with it, and Vince didn't force his original idea back into the picture for his own pride's sake.

Dan

Marie certainly had her faults, but I hope her ride-or-die attitude to helping Hank through all his troubles brought her back on everyone's good side. She put up with a lot of bullshit and pain to get Hank walking again, for the person she loves most. You gotta respect that.

Dan

You don't need to tell them how to feel. We're actually here to watch it happen naturally...

Dante

I don't think Walter telling Jessie to get out of town was solely for selfish reasons. Yes, it would ensure Jessie doesn't become an issue later on, but I Walter has proven that Jessie is one of the few things he truly cares about. I do think he wanted Jessie to just leave all this behind and somehow move on and have a good life.

Dan

This episode is one of my favs. Shockingly, though, you didn't seem all that shocked by one of the most notable jaw-droppers of the show (maybe not the "biggest" reveal, if one were to measure it quantitatively, but that confession tape typically throws everyone for a loop). And I expected Lola to cry, but not Milena! Double shocker! Almost no one figures out Jesse's epiphany before he explains it in Saul's office, but I knew you would! (Nikki and Steven are the only other channel I recall got it right away). So great job! You two rock!

Corncobtv

So would you say Skylar is a sociopath too then? She's just as responsible for that tape as Walt is.

Juan Pablo

bright and shiny futures are overrated anyway ... I really like how that phrase applies to BB ...

Ken Drummer

The one thing I learned most from this episode is not to make Milena angry!!!

Scott Bringel

I don’t know if you guys noticed but Jesse relapsed. It show the meth in the car for a couple seconds.

ODIS

At least Skylar looked a bit ashamed sitting in her office... So, it looked like her conscience was slowly eating at her.. Walt had to reassure that they did the right thing.

Dan

Well said. People often say that villains never see themselves as the "bad guy", and that they're usually just the heroes of their own demented stories. In most shows, however, the "demented story" literally isn't one the audience can identify with - it just looks crazy, one dimensional, and like a setup to push the narrative forward like a gimmick/MacGuffin. Walt's internal story is actually plausible when you stack all the justifications together and ignore how his actions have affected other people. So unlike a real psychopath, he does feel the feelings he thinks he's supposed to feel at any given time. And we can empathize with him in (at least some) situations because his feelings are real, and he's really feeling them.

ODIS

I expect they will watch El Camino first. BCS is many seasons. This is just one movie.

UrbanRats

True. For example he constantly frames his manipulation of Jesse (to others, but himself also!) as guiding someone who's too stupid or weak to make good decisions. He labeled him as someone with potential that didn't apply himself in school, in one of the first episodes of the show, and that carried over into calling him, weak, a junkie etc. juxtaposed to the moments where he genuinely praises his cooking skills. Jesse matured so much during the show, that he's at this point, more mature than Walt, and can see things more clearly than him. But Walt is of course completely blind to that, because he has an image of Jesse in his head, that he needs to hold on to, to maintain his own delusion. To justify his manipulative behavior.

Ortiz Jorge

Yep, few reactors got this one. These girls are the most intuitive and smart reactors I've seen. I think their discussions help them to picture possible plot developments.

Juggling-monkey

"I thought I wanted to cry after the previous one and this one was so much fucking worse" - I remember feeling this way after each episode when watching it live. I would be so depressed and anxious. I love your reactions and am excited for everything you have coming up.

Walopoh

One of my personal favorite episodes! And almost always one of the best to watch reactions for because SO many things are happening! lmao

amir.cricket

Solomon Wong

ReactorHero

ReactorHero
