#BetterCallSaul #BreakingBad #SeasonFinale - Розваги
The moment when Jimmy breaks down inside the car is when he realizes that people like him or the girl who got denied by HHM will never be accepted in this world. From his perspective, this society will never give them a second chance, they'll always be labeled as "Slippin' Jimmy" or "the shoplifter". He tried his best to avoid it and got stepped on all the way through, so from now on he'll embrace Slippin' Jimmy, but with a slight change in the name (s'all good, man).
The real tragic part is that it's not even really true in his case. He was accepted at Davis&Main, and he was doing fine at his own place - Wexler&McGill. But he couldn't let go of how Chuck's judgmental nature made him feel, and he couldn't adapt to what was expected of him.
Great analysis!
This is so true on the show as well as the "real" world on so many levels. It makes me want to cry as well. As far as Chuck is concerned no matter how good of a lawyer Jimmy is, and how decent a person Jimmy becomes he will never good enough to breath the same Perfect air that Chuck sucks in every moment. Chuck loves Jimmy as long as he does not forget his place. Jimmy is trying to communicate the painful fact that Life is never fair.... no matter how hard you try. We could write a book about the intricacies of their relationship.
Like others said, sad thing is that Davis and Main gave him a chance and he blew it. Jimmy wanted to do things his way but still be accepted by the group, and thats not how it works.
@@ThePunisherSpider Gee Mommy and Daddy--I did not know that. NO SHIT. It is such a pain when someone acts like they
have all of the answers and nobody else has a clue.
It's amazing how this show recontextualizes Breaking Bad... This was never Walt's story. It is Mike, Jimmy, and Gus' story - Walt is the final boss that came in to THEIR lives and destroyed everything.
I stand with walt no matter what !
As do I
Lol I will defintely agree that Walt came into their lives like an unexpected whirlwind.
Srivathson Sam same
never forget that breaking bad used to be a show with a lot of great dark comedy. but now, plus better call saul, its all just tragedy sprinkled with a few good dark jokes. like the breaking bad finale two best assassins scene. i think its "funny" that all this build up, jimmy corruption into becoming criminal lawyer known as saul, all the cartel drama, gus rise to power, mike badass attitude, all got destroyed cause of one pissed off and underachieving chemistry teacher. with a freaking cancer no less. i find that to be hilarious
Mike killed Werner with the same gun Walt will use to kill him. The scientist Heisenberg's first name was also Werner.
I'm pretty sure Mike wouldn't have held onto that gun, professional killers don't get sentimental about their tools. Hell, we saw him dump a whole arsenal of presumably compromised weapons down a hole right before he stashed that "Go" bag with what would certainly have been a "clean", unused gun with no history.
@@dennyg3315 I don't know why you are calling HIM a dummy.. His comment certainly made it seem like he was saying it was the same...so take it back a notch, dude. 🙄
@@briangonigal3974 It's the same model, I think that's what OP means. Either way its a cool use of chekov's gun.
Werner got killed with a S&W 629. Mike got killed with a Taurus 605. They are both stainless steel revolvers but the S&W is much larger and more powerful.
This show shows us just how much of a badass and unkillable Mike is. He’s god damn navy seal level badassery, yet at the end of it all, he gets killed by a damn chemistry teacher. Smdh. Breaking bad did him so dirty. If Mike was going to die, he deserved at least a more validating death.
Rhea Seehorn deserved an Emmy for her facial expressions alone
Seriously though!
Werner's last words to his wife were that he never wanted to see her again.. That whole scene was so incredibly tragic.
Reminded me a lot of Walt’s phone call to Skyler after he kidnapped Holly
He didn't say "never", just that he didn't want to see her.
More like how tragically stupid Werner was. If he really wanted to bail, he should have simply packed his shit and flown back to Germany where his wife was, instead of having her be in New Mexico.
@@sylvester3018 He couldn't. Mike had his passport
In a way though it’s like he’s trying to free her. It’s almost better in a way to him to break her heart and have her hate him than he be worried and lost wondering what happened to her lover.
Jimmy McGill died in that car scene. It felt like him crying over every shitty thing thats happened to him - his imprisonment, Chuck's betrayal, his disbarment, Chuck's last words. He realizes in that moment that this version of him is always going to be a victim. All he can do now is embrace his worst traits and become a Winner
Sounds like my dating life.
And he was thinking about the advice he gave to the girl since he was basically talking to himself and it all just hit him when he went to his car
He was responsible for every last thing that happend to him
@@maggoteater2290 Not true.
@@maggoteater2290 Not really
Howard S.1 Ep. 1: “ You know, Jimmy, sometimes in our line of work… you can get so caught up in the idea of winning… that you forget to listen to your heart”.
Saul Goodman: “THE WINNER, TAKES IT ALL!”
NICE !
Lol
it hits different after the finale...what a great show!
The show producers said about this episode "The breakdown Jimmy suffered in his car after meeting with Christy is the moment the last sliver of Jimmy McGill started fading away. By the end of the episode only Saul Goodman is left"
I didn’t remember how shaky Mike’s voice sounds when he tells Werner to call his wife. It’s like he’s about to cry.
he was, the new episodes just show how much that truly broke mike apart. like the last 2 ounces of soul / humanity the man had left, went to look at the stars, to get a better look.
this mike has so much soul and wanted the best for everyone, you can see how much road he walked along with gus to be the even more badass in BB
He was about to cry, if I’m correct, this is the first person that mike had to kill due to working with his and Werner was a good man. He was just oblivious to the situation he was actually in an it got him killed. Mike never wanted to kill him and tried hard the entire time to try and keep him alive but Gus had no plans on letting him live. Sadly mike had to do it.
I think Mike was not obvious enough when he warned Werner not to slip up again. He should have been crystal clear. Something like: "Mr. Fring is dealing in business where business trumps everything. And if he for one second believes that someone is a security risk for his clandestine operation here, he will solve that risk. Permanently and irreversibly."
@@Quotenwagnerianer did he didn’t even know who he was working for besides seeing his face, and knowing his business would’ve just made him more dangerous. You gotta use common sense to just simply take a look around at like mike said the precautions that are being taken aswell as the money. What sort of man would and could do such a thing. Mike laid it out as clear as he could without giving anything anyone could use against them. Again Gustavo is absurdly careful with his business and unless you need to know the details to do the work, you won’t know them. Werner was just a worker and had know reason to understand why the actually were doing what they were doing, just that it needed to be done.
Fun fact: Lalo climbing up busting through the ceiling was based on a real life robbery situation.
Wow, really?
@@TheFlowerofSpades Yeup, if you listen to the Better Call Saul: Insider Podcast the directors said it was based off a true event.
NoNameforNow That’s incredible.
Damn!!!
@@FidoeFTW l
I think someone already said it, but when Walt called himself Heisenberg, he took the name from the famous German scientist, Werner Heisenberg.
So Mike kills Werner,
and Heisenberg kills Mike.
Clearly a sign that some people watch these shows too much.
CST1992 how
@@ekdwyer977 he just doesn't get that the show has a lot of details refering to the bb universe
@@CST1992 we’re sorry that you’re smooth brain is overwhelmed by these tiny details.
@@CST1992Lmao
I like how these two "storylines" of Jimmy and Mike with Werner are actually connected by the same concept in this episode... "your mistake is what you are", that's what Jimmy said to the girl and that's actually how the real world usually works, then Werner made a mistake and Mike said to him "nothing you can say or do will make anyone trust you again", that was the line that made me realize the connection. I didn't catch that the first time.
Yes. ANd that both Mike and Jimmy both take huge steps into hell in this episode
I didn’t catch that until you I just read this comment lol
Jimmy wanted to save the judge from a fire as his plan for sincerity.
Jimmy's backstory in the Huell caper was that he saved the congregation from a fire.
Jimmy sure seems to have saving people from fire on his mind...
Dane H. Damm, that’s a good observation.
Fadlo WHO YOU KNOW GOING HARDER?
Dane H. And the judge was also the judge he named in BB when he got the restraining order for Mike! Judge Papadoonian :) I def watch too much to remember these little fun facts lol.
@@jennaleigh5782 that's unbelievable !
Fadlo I have literally seen both series over 10 times. I’m obsessed! Lol.
The actor who plays Chuck is actually a musician who has some pretty good songs. Has a good voice too.
David St. Hubbins? Dude ROCKS.
He was a lead in Spinal Tap as well.
Yeah, he played David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap AND Jerry Palter of The Folksmen in A Mighty Wind.
Spinal Tap.
Funnysterste Yeah but he is a legit touring musician as well is what I meant.
Jimmy at long last cries because after seen some young persona like him being judged by all cuz of past sins, and after telling her those kind of inspirational words, he's still down, he couldn't rise above those who judged him. He still has the same car from the begining. He is not a winner.
That breaks him forever.
But in the speech he stops reading Chuck's letter cuz it would have been Chuck saving him. He use his own words. He saved himself. He became a winner by his own hands!
That is why when he became SG he is in power! He is the man. And he will not look back, never.
And that's why he, in his Gene persona, still remember his SG life, when he was the man!
It's all Good, man!!!!!!!!
PS: note how Saul appears by saying "sweetheart" to the lady at the end, requesting his name change. XD
The winner takes it all, but that often includes the fallout of success as well, as future Gene shall never fail to know...
I guess in s5 we will see the more egothistical SG tearing apart the relationship with Kim only to succeed. Whatever happens to Kim it seems Gene doesn't care about his past with her.
From Kim's perspective, I think when Jimmy gleefully admitted to her that he'd tricked those suckers in the hearing room, she reacted like it was a slap in the face. From where she sat, Jimmy was sincere with the things he said about Chuck. At that moment, I'd say she was happy with his "heartfelt" testimony and felt like he'd perhaps turned a corner in his life. But then she found out it was all a ruse. It was one thing for Jimmy to trick all those people in attendance who didn't know him, but she knew him better than anyone, and he tricked her too. That was an eye-opener.
I wonder if we're going to get a traditional breakup, or will something tragic happen to Kim. I hope it's the former.
Kim was the sucker this time. And will continue to be one, if she stays. That's why it hurts so much.
Captain Dan But Jimmy has already told Kim that he didn’t miss Chuck.
The trick to a good performance is to use as much truth as you can. The reason why Kim will stay with Jimmy is that she still believes all the sad is true and him being arrogant afterward is him trying to not feel hurt over Chuck's death, which still affects him, obviously.
Not sure why Kim was surprised by that reveal, though. Jimmy LITERALLY SAID OUT LOUD that he doesn't think about Chuck and that he doesn't miss Chuck. Those were Jimmy's own words in the previous episode. Did she think he was lying or something in that scene? No, clearly she didn't know him the best if she didn't remember that basic confession from him in the episode before this one. Kim was hoping for something that wasn't going to happen.
The scene with Werner and Mike was so insanely good. Maybe my favourite in the show so far.
That slight tremble in Mike's voice when he tells Werner to call his his wife. Mike is Angy, sad, disappointed, conflicted but also very aware of the fact that there's only one way this can end. Dude is a bad guy with a kind soul.
How Johnathan Banks did not get an Emmy for this season is beyond me.
Werner deserved it...not on a human level, but as a man dealing with dangerous people he acted like he could just do as he pleased. It was HEAVILY implied that Gus and his men were playing absolutely no games. He almost got his wife killed too. Mike kind of enabled the whole shit too by being too decent....he should have slapped Werner around for drawing that diagram, to save him from himself
@@dakingataleedo True, he got way too comfortable and mistook Mike for a loyal friend. That's on Mike too.
@@patientzeropoint5271 Mike learned not to vouch for anyone from that moment
This makes Mike's hatred of Walt all the more justified when you consider that the lab was the last memento of Werner Mike had before Walt blew it up.
You really sympathize with Mike when he beats up Walt at the bar in BB. Because at that same bar (I think) Werner had been messing around discussing architecture with people he shouldn't have. I think everything Walt does to endanger Gus's business reminds Mike of Werner.
@@rikard.h No Mike hates Walt because he didn't sit back and let himself be murdered which is just ridiculous.
Saul Goodman it’s funny how people justify mikes actions. He’s a killer now nothing else, he chose to kill a person that’s oh him and he shouldn’t be surprised if someone else wants to kill him. Still like his character but the fan base really forgives him for killing people lmao
This kill was kill or be killed Werner would have been killed no matter what but in t he process Mike saved the guys wife and gave him as peaceful of a death as possible not defending future Mike but this one was the best he could do from a fucked situation.
@@saulgoodman5623 exactly lmao, we as the audience love Mike but if we were in Walts shoes it would be "FUCK MIKE".
Jimmy: "I'll do everything in my power to be worthy of the name McGill."
also Jimmy: "I'm not gonna be practicing under the name McGill anymore"
Quite the development from the copycat billboard in season 1
The greatest trick this show pulls is making you not want Jimmy to become Saul Goodman
totally!! that hope ended for me this season... they did an amazing job turning him full heel in season 4.
I feel like the scene between Mike and Werner mirrors the scene between Mike and Walt at the end of Season 3 of BB to some degree, except Werner knew what was coming and he took it like a champ while Walt snaked his way out of it at the cost of another man's life
Werner: Please let me talk to Gus! I can explain make him understand!
Walt: Please let me talk to Gus! I can explain and make him understand!
Also Heisenberngs first name was Werner
The winner takes it all, Walt was the winner
TheBluearmy33 That’s a different scene you’re thinking of
TheBluearmy33 that’s season 5 dude, he’s talking about the scene where Mike is about to kill Walt under Gus’ orders.
I knew you guys wouldn't be fooled by that last scene but it fooled me so good when I saw it 🤣
it fooled Nikki
i get emotional from brother scenes, my brother is alive and probably much healthier than I am but seeing someone lose theirs tears me apart for some reason. Couldn't imagine not having him around.
@@dakingataleedo I think that's exactly why the McGill brothers' falling out was so hard to watch. When Jimmy and Chuck briefly worked together on Sandpiper, they looked like an absolute badass duo of lawyer brothers... but then Chuck reveals that he doesn't think Jimmy deserves to be a lawyer and that Jimmy never mattered much to him. And then Jimmy spites Chuck by continuing to be a crooked lawyer and exploiting Chuck's reputation to become a lawyer again. There is no love anymore, just bitterness and apathy.
*"Things are fine the way they are.* Hey, I don't wanna hurt your feelings, but the truth is *you **_never mattered_** all that much to me."*
*"I don't think about Chuck,* okay? *I don't miss Chuck.* Chuck was alive and *now he's dead and **_that's that._** Finito.* Life goes on."
Those are the words from the McGill brothers about how they really feel about each other. It's not because they were shady lawyers, it's because they could never meet each other's expectations and understand one another. Not even the greatest piles of money in the world or the most solid legal documents could EVER change that.
Mike doesn't even chew gun without a reason.
Mike is so badass he chews guns
@@deptusmechanikus7362 *gum 🤣
So crazy that you're already caught up with this show. Seems like just yesterday I was watching your BB finale reaction
String Cheese Doughnut it took them 8 months to watch 4 seasons it’s not crazy
Such a fantastic episode. You really see the toll it took on Mike to kill him. And the look on Kim’s face at the end. It’s all good man. Cannot wait for Season 5!
It really was his BB moment. Full measure
That final pan out of Kim standing there, looking so lost..."the loser standing small". For the first time, she couldn't tell he was lying.
This episode is a masterpiece from the beginning to the end.
The entire series is a masterpiece.
Jimmy's courtroom speech, I believed it for like half of the way and instantly felt sick in my stomach when I realized it was a ruse. Amazing writing and fantastic acting chops from Odenkirk.
Honestly, I could have MAYBE believed it if I didn't already remember that Jimmy said in the previous episode:
"I *don't think about Chuck,* okay? I *don't miss Chuck.* Chuck was alive and *now he's dead and **_that's that._* Finito. Life goes on. So sue me."
Jimmy already made his feelings (or lack thereof) clear. I'm surprised that Kim apparently didn't remember that information herself here, considering he blurted it out to her in a 1-on-1 argument.
No! The primary emotion inhabiting Kim at the end is neither disappointment nor intolerance, it’s sadness. She has kept up with Jimmy’s ability to act and perform until now, even demonstrating her own abilities at times, and she does her best to not let her emotions affect her judgement. In that moment, she felt betrayed, she was the sucker who was crying, who, just for a moment, thought that Jimmy was letting out what she thought he needed to let out for so long now, only to realize it was too good to be true and that she doesn’t know him anymore. She still loves him, as tragic as that is, she won’t be able to dispose of her feelings for him just like that, but now she sees him the way his brother saw him, as a lost cause, and that realization absolutely destroys her. She has stuck with him for so long trying to undo the trust issues that Chuck instilled into him but she knows now that he has accepted the label his brother put on him out of spite.
She’s not going to leave him for this, I guarantee, but it’s 100% self destructive for her to stay with him. But that’s not her fault, you shouldn’t lose respect for her for that because that’s just how much she cares for him. And she knows that without her, Jimmy would absolutely go of the deep end so Kim would never do that to him. This is why she’s such a likable character, because she’s the kind of partner we all want but don’t deserve.
After Ozymandias, this might be the best episode in the franchise.
@@user-xi8yh8qi9j Top 5
The scene where Werner was being told the gravity of the situation he put himself into was actually mirroring the moment Gus wanted Mike to kill Walt. The only difference was that Werner was a humble man who did a stupid thing, rather than being an egomaniac amd only protecting himself, he called his wife telling her to leave but accepting his fate that he naively put himself in. Walt called Jesse only to have a good guy like Gale killed in order to save his own ass lol. Btw, his name also comes from Werner Heisenberg the guy Walt also named himself after.
That cut after Werner is shot to Gale in the lab really got me. It's so fitting, Mike had to kill Werner and Jesse later has to kill Gale, both unwillingly.
The Nikki´s *NO* to "any other toughts before we jump into it?" Never gets old LOL 😟🌟📝
I am sure someone has already brought this up but Bob Odenkirk said he never knew how to play the character of Jimmy and then this season he just got it and was totally comfortable. I wonder if it's because he started out playing Saul and the closer he gets to Saul as a character it is much easier for Bob to understand. And of course because he plays 3 different "types" of characters as 1 man. His acting is phenomenal!
In an odd way, I think this seemed to work for the character because Jimmy MgGill never really seemed to be able to decide who he wanted to be. At least Saul Goodman knows who he is.
I love how the first thing Jimmy does after saying he will "do everything he can to be worthy of the name McGill" is change his name lmao
" no half measures " yooo that gave me chills
13:26 "Watermelon, pickles" is something extras in tv and movies do to make it look like they are conversating in the background
There is a teaser out right now where Kim says "Jimmy, you're an ATTORNEY. No amount of money is worth this."
Anybody want to take a stab at what happens?
Maybe she's talking about his meddling in mex Cartel's shit?, for probably soon Mike, Nacho and Gus will pull him down to that dangerous underworld somehow... That will be how he is introduced to yet another Salamanca psychopath, Lalo... He's already forgotten Tuco, it seems...
I assume it has to be his dealings with the cartel. They need to get to whatever went down between him, Nacho, and Lalo at some point and there's only two seasons left.
Red Sparrow there’s gonna be a 6th season?
@@derekc1289 And the sixth will be the last one.
@@derekc1289 It shook me up when I heard it the first time.
I was like "DUDE! I can't wait till frickin' 2021 for the ending!!!!!"
“Jimmy, whatever happens in there; I’m with you.”
Kim meant law license or no law license, she’s with him. All Jimmy hears is, “Whatever shit you pull, any game you play, I’ll back you.”
Jimmy is so obsessed with “winning” and getting one over on the “suckers” he can’t even see that he made Kim feel like one. What a heel turn.
Maaaaan this gets way deep when you realize the sacrifice Mike did by killing Werner for the lab. The same lab that Walt just burns to the ground. Mikes sacrifice was for nothing at that point.
That episode is SO great!
That first scene really sums up everything Jimmy/Chuck related. Chuck has always been jealous of how people like Jimmy because he's funny and all, even if Jimmy isn’t the most competent.
Even if Jimmy is butchering the song people are having a great time but Chuck can’t help but try to 1up him, and show how technicalky superior he is.
That court scene is so ironic because Jimmy couldn’t have been more insincere, but now that he's patting his older brothers back, he's perceived as honest/real. They were really smart to trick us into thinking that first shot was his current appeal because, both times, the law wouldn’t consider him worthy without his brothers approval.
Also, that scholarship thing was great because it contextualises how the law perceives outsiders/people with a non perfect past(like Jimmy), which is reflected in all the shit he's going through.
I think to me, this might be the best BCS episode yet!
After seasons worth of reasons to hate chuck, this season showing jimmy's true feelings towards his brother (or lack of feelings if you want to put it like that) it shows a sweet moment between them at the last episode of the season, Id be happy to have a quarter of the intelligence and creativeness that these writers have man...
DeepVibes no one person can keep up with an entire writing team. As detail oriented as BB and BCS are, there has gotta be a BUNCH of writers.
Mike and Werner break my fucking heart this episode
The ABBA song is the perfect song that contextualises the relationship between the brothers as well as Jimmy's determination to be a lawyer
Peter Gould has said that Saul Goodman is a suit of armor Jimmy wears to protect himself from pain, and that the show is about what makes someone build that armor. This season was all about Jimmy having to confront his grief, his trauma, his pain - and choosing to hide from it, and keep hiding from it until he is alone and exiled in Nebraska.
He's a much more sympathetic protagonist than Walt because he is so much more human. Walt wanted control and power, but Jimmy is just scared of being hurt.
Lalo was humming the karaoke song, "The Winner Takes it All"
Mike did to Werner what those cops did to his son. This is why Mike hates himself so much during Breaking Bad. "Werner" is setup for Mike's judgement, which comes in the form of "Heisenberg"
But u can't give Werner soo many chances , especially when ur trying to build a methlab underground
@@thunder9394 that's true, but it doesn't have anything to do with what I said. Mike still hates himself for it.
This, to me, was the biggest con of Jimmy ever. I like to think that there was a brief moment during his speech where even he believed himself: he was conning himself.
I mean, most of that speech was about how he'll never be as moral and good as Chuck was. He does believe that.
@@goneyon A lie is always easier wrapped in a truth
Jimmy was doing "The winner takes it all" by ABBA for karaoke, but later at 12:50 when they are singing "thinking I belonged there, playing by the rules" those are lyrics to the song, but they aren't together like that in the actual song. If you notice in bed Chuck is singing and Jimmy is drunkenly following slightly behind him singing as well. Chuck is,either consciously or subconsciously, basically having Jimmy say "thinking I belong there, playing by the rules" saying he doesn't really belong as a lawyer.
By the way, the original ABBA song is about someone who planned out a good life with someone, comes to realize that future isn't going to happen because they don't really conform to the rules, their relationship is over, and now fate will decide the winner and loser, judges will decide the outcome, and winner takes it all, and the loser will fall. DAMN this show is full of symbolism!
Here is a list of Breaking Bad characters other than Saul/Jimmy & Mike who have appeared in Better Call Saul that I copied and pasted from Wikipedia. AMC have spoiled who will be returning in season 5, but I have omitted to include them in case you don't want to know. I know I didn't!
Raymond Cruz as Tuco Salamanca, a ruthless, psychopathic drug distributor in the South Valley. (seasons 1-2)
Cesar García as No-Doze, Tuco's henchman. (season 1)
Jesús Payán Jr. as Gonzo, Tuco's henchman. (season 1)
T.C. Warner as Nurse (season 1)
Kyle Bornheimer as Ken, an arrogant, self-absorbed stockbroker (season 2)
Stoney Westmoreland as Officer Saxton, an Albuquerque Police Department officer (season 2)
Jim Beaver as Lawson, a black market weapons dealer in Albuquerque (season 2)

Poor Werner. Poor Mike 💔 I could not be away from my beloved for that long..... then Mike had to do what he did... to someone he liked and maybe considered a friend 😭
And the last thing Werner said to his wife was he didn't want to see her :C
The way i see it, the last thing Werner did was protect his wife in the best way he could come up with on the spot. The last thing he would want her to be doing is snooping around in the general area as that would probably be a shortcut to a bullet in the head. Better make sure she's as far away as possible. It's essentially what Walt does on the phone in BB, when he's playing the part to get his family out of the investigation's crosshairs, except Margarethe might not even get to know what Werner was dealing in and why he "left" the way he did, which makes it even sadder imo.
Werner Heisenberg, a German physicist known primarily for the "Heisenberg uncertainty principle", the uncertainty principle implies that it is in general not possible to predict the value of a quantity with arbitrary certainty, even if all initial conditions are specified(that last part from Wikipedia lol).
Werner built the lab(started it, anyway).
Heisenberg burned it down.
With both Werner and Heisenberg, it wasn't possible to predict what they would do, even if the conditions around them are specified.
Also, the "Wiedersehen" in yellow on the rock in the lab, just like the "Heisenberg" in yellow on the wall in Walt's house at the end of BB.
Have to say that I've come to look forward to watching my favorite shows with the two of you. It's like sitting down with friends and it's so enjoyable. You two are so comfortable in front of the camera and I can't express how great it is. Please keep up the fantastic content!!
Interesting! Lalo actually reminded me of Simon, or Steven Ogg himself. Kinda looks like him, and similar demeanor.
that totally fits too
I have absolutely loved reliving this series again through your reaction videos! This is already one of my favorite shows of all time. Cannot freakin wait for season 5! Keep it up y'all!
Not talking about Chuck is actually very sincere.
"Its all good man" what a beast!!!!!! Hell yeah I love that part
I specifically wanted to see your reaction to Mike using the chewing gum to clog up the gate in this episode, lol. Didn't disappoint.
dude is a master
Loved going on this journey with you guys
doubt i wouldv started this show and enjoyed it as much without watching it with yall. awesome commentary. church!
I got goofed when he was giving his speech at the end of the episode. I had doubts at first but it still got me. ⭐📝😩
The Winner takes it all, the Werner takes the fall. :(
In Breaking Bad, the moment when Walt let Jane die was, in my opinion, the moment when Walt crosses the threshold that separates a good person from a bad person.
I think that Jimmy just crossed that threshold in that last scene. Same with Mike when he shot Werner.
Most of what Jimmy has done so far wasn’t only for his benefit. He doctored those documents for Kim, he broke into Chucks house because he felt betrayed, and he sold drop phones in the pursuit of getting a new office for him AND Kim. I think he’s about to unleash his selfishness now.
He’s taking Chucks advice. Don’t bother having any regrets!
Can I just say what a joy it has been to watch you two thoroughly enjoy this show and be as enthralled with it as you were with BB. I think it’s gotten a lot of undue hate (as you’ll have seen with all the “this show is boring!” comments) so it’s nice to see it appreciated!
Completely agree! This show is so underrated and slept on way too much imo.
You two are probably my favorite reactors ever keep it up!!
OH GOD! I feel like I’ve been waiting for so long for you guys to see this episode! That final scene, THAT FINAL LINE! Brilliant writing. What a show.
Guys, there’s a terrific Kim and Jimmy trailer out for Season 5, which starts in exactly a month. There’s also an awesome ‘Greetings from the Set’ video and like 4 other Season 5 teasers. Would be great if you guys could react to those! Just a suggestion.
thanks Katherine... since the season is so close, i think we are going to avoid the trailers so we can go in as blind as possible.
⭐📄🙁 Looking forward to watching along with you. Fantastic reactions and commentary!
Hands down, one of the best season finales ever. I've been waiting for you guys to get here, now we're all caught up. Can't wait for season 5!!!
How long before Nikki and Steven realize that Kim is never going to leave Jimmy?
And here we are, all up to date! Saul was my favorite character in BB, and after watching BCS for the second time, it hit me how underused he was in BB. With how good Bob is as an actor, imagine the more in depth stories that could have been told if Saul was given a larger role in BB.
while i totally agree with you I'm not sure Breaking Bad was his story to be told... Saul is getting 6 seasons to him self and i actually like it better this way. He's an AMAZING character who totally deserves it.
@@NikkiStevenReact YEAH..he's an "AMAZING character" when he's not being crapped on. LOL Such BS Hypocritical much??
I'm caught up as well! Since you guys decided to react to this show, I decided to give it a chance. I couldn't be more invested! I finished just in time and now I'm ready to start the next season :D
That’s so awesome. Better Call Saul is in my top 5 shows of all time now. So good. -S
Been watching you guys for quite sometime and have enjoyed your reactions to Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I’ve been waiting to see your guys reaction to this finale since you began watching it due to how this ends and how closer it gets to Breaking Bad. This finale is huge for Jimmy, Kim and Mike. Not much to say other than, It’s all good man.
We spent the whole season waiting for the moment that Kim will walk away from Jimmy, but as we see in the final moments of the episode, Jimmy (or should I say "Saul") walked away from Kim. He's done asking for help. He doesn't need her. The winner takes it all, and Saul will be the winner. I fully expect to see Saul and Kim face off in a battle of the law in Season 5.
Anyways, since you're caught up with everything, why not a suggestion? I think you guys should react to The Wire, it's supposed to be Breaking Bad levels of good.
We’ve got our next show lined up, thanks though TD!!
The fact that Gus said to Hector in BrBa S4 that the Salamanca name would die with him while taunting him about his escape from the cartel in "Salud" makes me think that Gus has Lalo sent to Belize in some way or the other.
I've been thinking the same thing.
Congrats on catching up, you two! Can't wait for 2/23!
Thanks guys for BCS. Great job.
Such a great season finale, right?! Rewatching these first 4 seasons with you two have been really fun! Really appreciate your strong interest in and enthusiasm for this character-driven show. Can't wait til season 5 starts in a month! 🌟📝😟
my man really said "watermelon pickles" at his brother's grave
anyone who understands jimmy's journey so far, would have seen that moment coming. that was the most satisfying feeling in the end. getting that win back. the fact that ppl are only on his side when he shows emotion makes that win so much better
Kim: "Jimmy, whatever happens in there, I'm with you."
Jimmy: "Hold my beer."
Such a great show!
Love ur reactions
Congrats guys, you made it! The winner takes it all!
Honestly and I know I might be in the minority on this, so far I think this show is even better than Breaking Bad. And I LOVE Breaking Bad. But this show manages to create such incredible tension only with character relationships and dialogue its such an accomplishment of writing, acting, directing and editing.
Good video and reaction:)
My favorite episode! Probably between this and season 3 episode 5
Your reaction to Werner death is so good. Thanks for this reaction on my best Netflix series ever.
When I first watched this I thought Jimmy was FINALLY letting all his guilt over the Chuck situation out and yet... it was all a lie. I believed it. I wanted to believe he had it in him, and there's moments in the episode that make you believe it's genuine but god dammit.
BCS finale uploaded on my birthday...what a great present 😍
Happy birthday🎈🎈🎉🎉
Happy Birthday!!
happy birthday!!!!
Thanks everyone. 26 years young 🥴
Isaac Casasbuenas me gusta Game of Thrones Uh what?
Lalo's best: "Show me." or "Show me what you showed him."
There are already plenty of trailers & teasers of Season 5.
Would like to see a reaction from you guys, maybe in 1-2 videos.
as of now, we are planning to go in as blind as we can and not watch any of the trailers.
Nikki & Steven React Honestly, it’s the best decision. Keep doing what you’re doing
You may have noticed that most of this season, Gus is shown seated (or from the back with a stand-in). Thats because Giancarlo injured his leg skiing. They had to film many of his scenes after the Season wrapped principal production.
Mike's true super power is being a senior citizen. No one expects a senior citizen to be that dangerous
I love how Nikki is terrified of Lalo, i feel ya girl.
Also, remember the "is this when he becomes Saul Goodman" phase? right now episode uno i think :D.
Love your reactions guys, thank you. Cant wait for season 5
There's a nice scene in the first season where Chuck like tucks in Jimmy as he's sleeping/gives him a pillow, etc etc.
I really can't understand how Nikki and Steven can be rooting so much for Mike who manipulates people, lies to get information and even kills people, yet at the same time when Jimmy schemes or does his salesmanship they think of him like a lowlife. He didn't even kill anyone in fact right from season 1 episode 1 when the two skateboarders are about to be slit by Tuco he intervened to get them not killed. He could've minded his own business and just left. And still they blamed Jimmy for putting those two brats into the situation they're in in the first place. All throughout the series he shows that he cares for people. He cares for Huell, the doll lady, his brother, he even cares for Howard for christ sake, after seeing him in such a horrible state he recommends him to seeing a psychiatrist. Their bias against Jimmy is really unbelievable. They've already seen BB, they should know that no character is ever black or white. In fact having black or white characters would make for boring viewing. As in the real world as well, nothing is ever black or white
Kim was definitely disappointed with Jimmy in that moment, but I don't think that was that the moment that ended things between them. Their breaking point will be something much more dramatic and heartbreaking than that.
That one side-shot was beautiful...with Mike walking behind Werner
I'm most looking forward to the black and white flash forward that (if they keep to the same pattern) will begin season 5 episode 1. Remember that in the last one (which is Saul *now*, not in the past) he was recognized by the cab driver from Albuquerque.
