@@zolexDackeryWell all of that would have been avoided if Walt didn’t kill Gus. He could have made as much money as he ever wanted, BUT NO! He just had to blow it up, all of his pride and his ego. He just had to be the man, if Walt done his job, known his place, everybody would have been fine.
@@SpokeNyan1390 No. its a worthy statement though. But not doing what he did following Jessies misguided act of revenge. Would have resulted in both of their deaths. Walt allowing Jessie into the lab is what triggered the demise of his relationship with Gus. In all fairness. Gus. Being the bigger man than Jessie... Post incident. Is really the one to blame. 1.For making it obvious that he intended to kill them both as soon as Gail could operate the cook to the same standard. 2. For not accepting responsibility for the death of Gail and allowing the pair to continue as usual. Waltz only misgiving was giving a damn about the man who ultimately shut him down. It is likely that Jessies hospital bed threats, would not have cost Hank as dearly as he insisted. Walt just didn't want any hassle in that regard let alone the possibility. Gus had to go. And with Gus gone. Mike then * up. By having misgivings about Saul's demeanor and past and not trusting his accounts to him. However Walt true to form recovered the situation. Made a boat of money and then uncharacteristically. Found himself in a moment where he knew that he finally * up. He accepted responsibility did what he had to, to clear his family, reaffirmed his allegiance to Jessie, provided for them and then died.
Not sure how you can blame Walt for killing Gus. As Gus threatened his family. Gus was far worse than Walt. Just because he was more organized and calm about it, and wore a suit. Gus would kill 10,000 kids if they stood in his way. Walt would just poison one.
@@delawarehistory1675Atleast you understand the characters....... Some people are so harsh on Walts way of thinking not even realizing he is surrounded by people who are even worse then him
Gus was actually pretty lousy at business. This all started when his dealers used a child to kill combo in cold blood. Gus orders the dealers to then kill the child which makes Jesse want to kill the dealers. Walt protects Jesse by killing the dealers himself. At this point, if Gus was a good businessman, he should have simply ended the tit for tat. But instead he tries to bring Gail up to speed so he can dispatch with Jesse and Walt. Gus made very poor decisions from that point forward and he rightly paid for it with his life.
I think the most realistic thing would have been Mike shooting Walter the moment he hung up the phone, he had ever reason to and the only reason not to, the existence of the laptop, disappeared as soon as Mike realised it was being held by the cops
The guys in lock up would have got him thrown in jail once he found out his money was gone anyway. He actually needed Walt and Jesse to fund the hazard pay he owed to his guys to keep quiet.
@@Lobothemainman23 Also I honestly can’t blame Walt too much for taking those guys out. They themselves were nothing but degenerate criminals anyways who were going to flip on him
@@Lobothemainman23 Nah, at this point Mike had zero intentions of actually working with Walt. The hazard pay shit came after the evidence room. He absolutely could have shot Walt here and it would have made no difference to him.
@alainportant6412 You think this is something? You think this is bad? He’s done worse. Those Cartel Bosses, Are you telling me that a man just happens to die like that? No! He orchestrated it! Mikey!
@whiskershed Being loyal to a drug lord doesnt make you any less of a scumbag, what even is this? Walt may be a bigger piece of shit, but shit is shit. Mike is also not a good person
I like how you put a logo on this like it's something you actually produced, as opposed to it being something produced by professionals (and in fact, master craftsmen) that you copied and uploaded.
That’s why I appreciate Better Call Saul’s character development for Mike. Mike isn’t someone that murders in cold blood. Werner Zeigler being the best example. He’ll do it if he has to and has no other choice. But he doesn’t take joy in doing it. He is good at running a team or crew. The lab construction crew for example. He is good at cleaning up any crime scene. Jimmy and Kim’s apartment and Jesse’s house.
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor It’s not the what he did that makes it despicable, it’s the how he did it, Bombing a nursing home and poisoning a child will never be ok no matter how you try to justify it. And before the argument that Gus would do worse comes out, that’s the problem see, Walt was jealous of Gus, he wanted to be Gus, by moral rights they’re just as bad as each other, Walt was just clearly a lot more carless and reckless given how quickly he got caught out without Gus and the brazen nature of most of his ploys.
Jesse can also be wearing, you just don't see it so clearly because of the jacket. Same as Mike, he's shorter than Walt and the wheel is blocking his chest
I like how Mike then asks Jesse for the keys to their car while leaving his vehicle parked out in the middle of the desert with the doors inconspicuously left open. 😅
To be fair, Mike was in Man On Fire mode. He just got out of the hospital to find out Gus was dead and his organization being folded up by the DEA, all because of Walt's ego.
@@Conan_the_Based Actually it was because Gus was gearing up to kill Walt and his family. Watch the show again. Walt had a massive ego, obviously, but it wasn't the only reason he did things. I feel like a lot of breaking bad fans don't even know what "ego" means at this point.
@Fuckyourpoliticaloutrage And why did Gus want to kill Walt and his family? Because Walt just couldn't stand to have his own brilliance subjugated and harnessed for the sake of making someone else the big bucks (again), or to be out played by someone that deep down he was afraid was probably smarter than him. A.K.A., all because of Walts ego.
This is the 2nd time Mike took a half measure. The first was when when he was supposed to execute Walt since all they needed was gale. When Walt started frantically begging to speak to Jesse youd think someone who was a cop for over 20 years Mike would have known better and shot Walt dead. Along with Jesse once they found him and Gale would still be alive. Mike should taken his own advice.
Well that beep thing gets annoying doesn't it? And considering there are three of them in the car and one of them almost shot Walt, you can only push a man's patience so far now
it always bothered me that gus wouldn't have a plan for the laptop if things went south, and mike wouldn't know about the plan. which kinda was that all data was encrypted and the dea wouldn't be able to crack it anyway, as mentioned by hank later.
Walts cowardly killing of Mike was disgusting. How many times had he begged for his life prior to that ? " You kill Jesse you wont have me " - remember the shake in his voice - terrified .
I found another Walt hater and Mike lover... BOTH characters were flawed. BOTH of them were to blame for what happened. Mike had become such a "yes man", and never respected Walt from the start. He literally forgot that he was going to kill him in the lab. "You could have just done your job and things would be fine" was BS... things would be fine FOR MIKE. Mike absolutely should have given the list of names to Walt. Walt was wrong for killing him obviously, but Mike is not blameless in ANY way.
"Mikes so smart", "Mike has his cool", "Mike was right to want to shoot Walt", yada yada, blah blah. Mike was a skilled man, no doubt. But don't get it twisted. Gus was far worse than Walt. Walt's story is about him becoming as bad as his competition is and people lose to Walt by underestimating and dismissing him, the one thing Walt hates more than anything. Mike had an excellent read on Walt which is why he's an idiot; he knew what kind of danger Walt was, knew he should have shot him, had SO MANY chances to beyond here and yet he didn't. And you know what his fatal mistake was? Knowing who Walt was and CONTINUING to poke the bear. Mike, like Gus and everyone before him, was conceited, jaded and prideful. "I'm too big to fail" is a mentality so many people in this show have and the only people who seem to survive Breaking Bad are those that let go of their pride. Everyone who doesn't winds up competing with Walt's pride which directly leads to drawing his ire; his suspicion, paranoia and subterfuge. The moment you make yourself an enemy of Walt, you are dispensable and you will never know what (by then) mundane action you will pull that will set him off and convince him you need to die. Mike was so convinced Walter was a pushover that he thought he could keep insulting him to his face. He thought he could repeatedly threaten him at gunpoint and walk away from that. And then, when Walt finally had enough, Mike didn't even see him coming, he just saw a missing gun and got to spend his last few bitter moments wishing he had shot him. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, DIDN'T. Nah, what Mike should have done was take his own advice, keep his mouth shut and not make himself enemies with a guy simply because in his own head that "guy" is on a ladder rung below him. Mike died because he was too prideful to stop himself from playing his cards, he HAD to get his jabs in on Walt and it cost him everything.
In the final scene of Mike, when Walt meets him near the river, Mike says “we had a good thing going” I have to believe the reason he didn’t say that when it was Walt Mike and Jesse is Mike wanted Jesse to see that he respected Walt, as obviously Jesse respected Walt. With Jesse not there, he didn’t hold back.

@@TJ-fe7rrthose guys Where MOB bosses with millions of money, they have power. Walt was only a cook. In real live the way he acted and manipulated events he would’ve been dead before he knew it
Dear, dear Jesse. His loyalty to Walt led to so many more deaths at Walt's hands - the 9 in prison, Hank and Steve, Andrea....this series is amazing for showing Walt's gradual transformation into a total monster. BUt it's Jesse who steals our hearts. YOu just want to give him a hug.
This show's mexico scenes would have been less orange if they were filming oranges with an orange filter and colour corrected all the footage to be the most orange orange. Also, love how Mike tells Jesse to get out of the game, he doesn't say "You both should", just "So should you". Definitely saw Nacho in Jesse.
At the time of this movie ring was barely a thing so no major business would be using it. That leaves major IT companies installing the security. And it wouldn't store all that footage in a single laptop.
The end of this actually has some dialogue that I don’t consider good (overall I consider BB a masterpiece). I don’t think Mike would have been so dismissive about the possibility of accessing the evidence room. I think he would have tried to think of ways to con himself in.
The US Postal Service allows businesses to put their own postage labels on their mail. Businesses get 'meters' which weigh and size packages and then print the correct label for the correct price. Of course this means a business could tamper with their meter, or weigh a lighter package and then put that label on a heavier one, or lie about the amount of mail they have. The USPS have their own federal law enforcement agency, the US Postal Inspection Service, to investigate crimes related to the postal service. They work with other law enforcement agencies like the police and the DEA. Mike was pretending to be a USPIS officer investigating Gus, probably since the DEA are used to getting requests for information or cooperation from them but his inquiry wouldn't be looked into that closely.
Walt, Jesse and Mike are amazing for having this argument on the surface of Venus
Oh that explains it!
Cause unless there’s a wildfire ain’t nowhere in New Mexico looks like this 😂
“You can’t just shoot Walt on the surface of mars”
It was so hot out there that the camera started catching on fire. The venus filter is the lens crying for help.

What you mean real life? I'm sure there's plenty of guys who've acted reckless and they're still breathing.
It's exactly like Mike said at the very end of Better Call Saul, Saul should've just left Walt alone.
@@TJ-fe7rrthose guys Where MOB bosses with millions of money, they have power. Walt was only a cook. In real live the way he acted and manipulated events he would’ve been dead before he knew it
It feels like Mike is bringing back his inner cop energy back
Mike. Is. Priceless!
Wendell: "I miss the gringo who made sure I ate first."
You can see the disappointment on Mike’s face when seeing Jesse defend Walt after everything Walt put him through.
Lol jesie was doing it before walt started if anything it was jessie that showed walt how to do it
@@basillah7650 I’m not talking about the drug making, I’m talking about the manipulation by Walt.
@@AmericanImperium1776 tf you talk about, moron? Walt literally had to put all his family at risk just because Jesse decided to play the hero
Dear, dear Jesse. His loyalty to Walt led to so many more deaths at Walt's hands - the 9 in prison, Hank and Steve, Andrea....this series is amazing for showing Walt's gradual transformation into a total monster. BUt it's Jesse who steals our hearts. YOu just want to give him a hug.
This is the moment they fried fish
The Dave Clark 5 🤣
All the times Jesse saved Walt’s candy ass…
S5 episode 1. What an awesome turning point. Truly a fantastic season awaits.
Dave Clark 5 reference has me feeling glad all over
If this happened in BCS Walt would've been dead much earlier. Seeing Mike not being able to measure a fish is strange
Mike messed up a fair amount of times in BCS too tbf.
Not really, Mike was more ruthless in Breaking Bad and had less patience.
too many half measures
This show's mexico scenes would have been less orange if they were filming oranges with an orange filter and colour corrected all the footage to be the most orange orange.
Also, love how Mike tells Jesse to get out of the game, he doesn't say "You both should", just "So should you". Definitely saw Nacho in Jesse.
Not at this point. Much earlier.
It seems weird they drove all the way down to Mexico to discuss all that.
At the time of this movie ring was barely a thing so no major business would be using it. That leaves major IT companies installing the security. And it wouldn't store all that footage in a single laptop.
Are they in mars 😂😂

I wonder why Mike didn't know that Gus's laptop was encrypted...
What about magnets?
Barely an inconvenience.
Nobody take off car key in that situation
why is it so orange
Mike when Walt doesn't just lay down and die >:(
The end of this actually has some dialogue that I don’t consider good (overall I consider BB a masterpiece). I don’t think Mike would have been so dismissive about the possibility of accessing the evidence room. I think he would have tried to think of ways to con himself in.
How common is it to take evidence from your place of work when the crime scene is in another part of town?
Left his door open 🤣
BEST. SHOW. EVER.
Anyone know what the "meter overage" bit means for this? It's some way to get info for the laptop but I can't connect any dots here
The US Postal Service allows businesses to put their own postage labels on their mail. Businesses get 'meters' which weigh and size packages and then print the correct label for the correct price. Of course this means a business could tamper with their meter, or weigh a lighter package and then put that label on a heavier one, or lie about the amount of mail they have. The USPS have their own federal law enforcement agency, the US Postal Inspection Service, to investigate crimes related to the postal service. They work with other law enforcement agencies like the police and the DEA. Mike was pretending to be a USPIS officer investigating Gus, probably since the DEA are used to getting requests for information or cooperation from them but his inquiry wouldn't be looked into that closely.
Jesus Christ turn down the saturation
