In the pilot episode, Walt sees the doctor who tells him he has at most 2 years to live. That was right after his 50th birthday. This episode occurred on his 52nd birthday.
It really was an amazing treat to have such a great ending especially watching it live when it aired. Wish other series could have lived up to this ending cough cough Game of Thrones.
BIRD'S EYE VIEW: we look straight down on Walt as he tumbles into frame, lying flat on his back on the floor. His eyes stare up at us, lifeless. And yet, his final expression is one of faint satisfaction. We slowly CRANE UP, UP and AWAY from him. Walt shrinks smaller and smaller in frame. POLICE OFFICERS approach him now -- four, six, eight of them. They move in cautiously, their guns aimed. They're too late. He got away. We continue SKYWARD, looking down on Walt, rising as high as we can go. Off this image, slowly FADING TO BLACK...
That overrated show? Oh god. If BCS wasn't based around BB and it was a complete stand alone show it probably would have got cancelled by season 2 or 3.
@@nukiesduke6868 Overrated? Have you even seen the show? You're objectively wrong. Let me guess, you like Marvel and Star Wars shows? Maybe Rings of Power is more your speed. Something without any emotional intelligence. You don't know good quality if you really believe that. It's one of the best shows and it matches Breaking Bad pretty closely. Dumb comment.
Once again Maple and Arianna, it was an absolute pleasure sharing your journey of one of the greatest shows ever made. You guys are truly fantastic at what you do Keep it up ladies🎉

Oh you're talking about the first episode of Malcom in the Middle because that's actually what happened to Walter White, he got a family in the witness protection program.
"Guess I got what I deserved" - an absolutely perfect ending for this character. He was such an evil shit that he HAD to die. But he went out with whatever was left of that highschool teacher & devoted father. Tried his best to fix the damage he did to his family, made sure Jesse got out. Ugh, the character arc is so delicious...I just can't get enough of Walter White. I get it. There are weirdos out there that like idolize Heisenberg. I don't understand it. But I do understand the popularity of the character. For most of us, it's just an amazing ride to get on and we enjoy seeing just how Bad we can Break. For me, I'm out at Jane. I can justify everything up to that point as self-defense/preservation. Still, I imagine some of those things would be a hit on the soul. But I feel like Jane is the point of no return. Can either turn back & keep your soul but will have to deal with the blackmail bullshit. Or you can pretty much kiss your soul goodbye.
You can root for an evil bastard. The Joker is cool despite being terrible. And so is Walter White. You can acknowledge that he is terrible while also hoping that he takes his ass out of the line of fire one last time with his intelligence and audacity. Anyone who actually likes him, not just the character and the way he develops, is an idiot. Sure, at first he's that spunky underdog who rebels against his domineering wife and aweful boss, but that slips very quickly and all that's left should be interest in how he'S coming out on top or how far anyone else is supporting him. After all, he is channeling the same thing whether he threatens Tuco or threatens his wife, he just does it against innocent people now. It's a measure of degree. That's the point. The difference of a nasty teacher (or even a good teacher) and a drug lord is a bunch of bad decisions.
@Mcnutty924 there is a difference with liking a character & idolizing one. Like we're talking about those that go EVEN FURTHER than getting a Heisenberg tattoo. WW is a fascinating character to me & Arya Stark is my all time favorite. That doesn't mean I wish I could be her.
@jimmygreer2140 No, there's not. Do you wanna know why? Because this is all fake. Walter isn't real. The people he's killed aren't real. Because all this is fake, it allows people to root for evil characters. You're just upset that people think of the character differently than you so you try and act like they're morally corrupt.
There were three instances of Walt obtaining a set of keys from a place above himself, each time preceding him killing a character. - The key to the bike lock trapping Krazy-8 is kept on top of a cabinet. Krazy-8 dies shortly after. - The key to Mike's to-go bag is kept on top of a beam in the airport parking lot. Mike dies shortly after. - The key(under the visor) to the car Walt steals in the beginning. Walt dies later. Only this time, instead of reaching for the key, he makes it fall into his hand, controlling his fate. Also, in the final shot as the camera moves up, there's a blue strip of floor near Walt, and it could represent a finish line. Whether Walt crossed, or just missed it, is up for us to decide.
And that scene is a copy shot of when he was in the floor of his house laughing and you see how he admires how clean that lab was kept by Jesse his blue creations of meth and his best student he ever had.
The way Walt used the machine gun to kill Todd's crew was similar to Todd's crew shooting at Hank and Gomez, a barrage of bullets raining down, then Jack getting a bullet to the head mid sentence.
"And a man, a man provides. And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it. Because he's a man."...Gus's words to Walt were prophetic, Walt was not appreciated, respected, or loved by his family at the end of the series. But he beared up and still made sure to provide for his family, both financially and in terms of their safety.
this is a horrendous read my dude, lol. If not for that kind of toxic ego he could've spared his family a tremendous amount of pain and literally Hank dying??? And it goes all the way back to Grey Matter, plus refusing the cancer money. He could've been there for his family plenty of times, and the whole point of the finale is he acknowledges he did all of this for him. I think Jr would've rather had his Uncle Hank than a pile of money from Gretchen (who probably would've helped him anyway!).
Just skipping over the fact that HE is the reason his family hated him. They weren't ungrateful or something, he was a meth kingpin who killed a lot of people, including (indirectly) his brother-in-law.
Mind you we all knew how opposed to killing Jesse was up until and even after Gail. What he decides to do to Todd just drives home just how much they broke him.
@@Dahmen-ll8cd Agreed, but that's no different than most of the guys Walt had to kill, but Jesse was always hesitant to do the same. Even when it came to the Gus' guys who got Brock's uncle to kill Combo Jesse hesitated. He did NOT hesitate when it came to Todd.
Every time I watch the end, I always think of the cops and people that come to a giant compound with a meth lab and millions of dollars Bodies everywhere and Heisenberg laying there. Imagine the stories they would tell for years seeing that scene
@@John_Locke_108 just imagine the CSI crew that has to go in and try and piece this whole thing together and create the story that happened. I bet they could do a whole season like that lol
I always thought that Walt putting his bloody fingerprints on the lab equipment was his way of taking credit for everything until the very end... 🤷🏽♂️ Just my take
20:14 every alcoholic/addict who recovers goes through a moment just like that. No more I drank because this or that trauma or this or that person. I liked it, I was good at it, and before i realized it it wasn’t a choice anymore. Just a random thought I had while watching that scene again.
This entire series can be summed up by a single conflict between Walter White, the caring and loving husband and father, and Heisenberg, the callous amoral drug dealer and murderer. Finally, in this episode, we see the merging of both entities into a single purpose: the salvation of his family and loved ones and the destruction of the people who threatened them. Heisenberg is still there, but now he's on a leash. There's a reason Vince Gilligan et al. deserve every single accolade accorded them.
So satisfying when Walt kills Jack the same way Jack killed Hank. And how he blends into the background in almost every shot he's in similar but differently to how he was portrayed in the pilot episode.
I really did look forward to this every week. It was fun watching others see such a great show for the first time. I'm looking forward to El Camino and BCS!
Walter protecting Jesse like that was actually foreshadowed in Season 2; when Tuco took them hostage Mythbusters did an analysis on Walter’s deadly contraption in the trunk, guest starring Vince Gilligan! You’ll love this. m.ua-cam.com/video/06t_KP7y8Ao/v-deo.html&pp=ygUkbXl0aGJ1c3RlcnMgYnJlYWtpbmcgYmFkIG1hY2hpbmUgZ3Vu Walter didn’t want his money back. He wanted Hank back.
Jesse realizes that Walt saved his life on purpose throwing him down and got shot just like Jesse wanted him to do when they were held hostage at Tucos place, remember he said he wantes Walt to jump Tuco and be all sacrificial for him because he is going to die of cancer anyways, plus that's what a father would do. So seing that Walt actually did that for him Jesse didn't want to be the one who killed him he didn't want to do what Walt says anymore and he didn't want another kill on him of Walts orders and someone he knows all to well, Jesse didn't want Walt's kill to be on him.
I may be wrong but I've always thought that as Walt looks over the lab.. it isn't just nostalgia.. Jesse had got pulled in while he was doing a new batch.. I think Walt is checking it and realizing that Jesse had done everything right and he cracks a little smile.
I think Walt was fully intending to kill Jesse because of his ego right up until he saw that Jesse was enslaved. The “angry tackle” was Walt ultimately deciding to spare him.
"What if she sat at a different table?" That's the thing about Lydia-she’s so meticulous and predictable. She always sits at the same table, in the same seat, orders a hot drink, and adds stevia to it. Walt knew she’d follow her usual routine. This is also how he knew where and when to run into her.
@@John_Locke_108Why did you hate the show ??? I finished season 1 yesterday, and I think it was so good ........ Does it become bad after season 1 ????😢
@@Dahmen-ll8cd I really enjoyed the first two or three seasons. Thought it was terrific. But the rest of the seasons felt like a completely different show. It no longer felt like a show about the mafia and instead felt like a soap opera. But most people would disagree with me.
It’s been a journey / a ride to watch this show (Breaking Bad) with you girls, and I can’t wait for you both to watch Better Call Saul, more of Game Of Thrones, and the next 2 movies of The Lord Of The Rings
25:32 - Walt shot Jack in the middle of his sentence, exactly the same way Jack shot Hank in the middle of his sentence. This show is a collection of brilliant little nuances.
I think Walt’s coughing fit at Lydia’s cafe table is far less relevant to her fate than the fact that Walt got there first and there was only a single stevia packet at her regular table.
That's why there was only one Stevia packet there lol what was there early and took all the packets out of that table and left just the one that he had already contaminated with and sealed back up he knew exactly what table she always sits at and watched to make sure no one took it
I think the biggest takeaways from the final episodes is that Walt really did value his family more than anything else. But his huge ego/need for validation made him reckless and they all ended up paying the price Edit: Yes, the finale made it clear that Walter did this all mostly for his ego. But that doesn't mean that he valued his ego more than his family - he knew that there was a possibility that his family would get hurt, but he didn't actually think it would happen, especially after he had killed Gus. When the choice came between Hank's life and all the money he had made, he was willing to give up the money with no hesitation. That was the point that established the heirachy of Walt's values.
But he didn't value his family more than anything else! If he did, he would have sucked it up and taken Elliott's offer. Instead, he opted to put everyone he loved in mortal danger multiple times.
Excellent take 👌 not like many people who think walter is just some mustache twirling villain , who is evil for the sake of being evil and that completely wrong
@@brownsey1 "If I have to hear one more time that you did this for the famil- " "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. I was... Alive." exactly. He OBVIOUSLY cares about his family. Clearly. But the call of power (something he felt he never had) was simply too strong for him. He just simply tries to do some damage control at the end there, to make sure that his family isn't doomed.
No, this was the episode where he finally decided to put his pride and ego aside and go out providing for his family and Jesse. If he wasn't dying, this episode might've gone differently.
@SidPhoenix2211 Exactly! They spell it out in the finale. Frankly, it's bizarre that anyone could come away from this episode, never mind the series as a whole, thinking he cared for his family more than anything else!
One of the first things that Jesse and Walt did together was kill two people even though Jesse didn't do the actual killing back then and Walt choked Krazy8 to death and at the end the last thing they did together was kill the group of people but this time Jesse choked Todd to death.
I watched you guys for FMAB and just this since this is the big episode ;D ... and then I stumbled onto some spicy content too ;D good job :D rock on, hope you enjoy some more series
can't believe you didn't dress up for this finale! I thought for sure yellow jumpsuits, or backup would be season 1 looks w/ariana as mustache Walt and maple as beanie Jesse
This finale is so good. I got to watch it as it first aired at a local movie theater that made a whole event out of it, which was a wild experience. The theater was packed and when Jesse killed Todd everyone lost their minds. Are you guys going straight to Better Call Saul or doing El Camino first? Edit: nvm, they answered the question literally like 30 seconds after I asked it lol.
Jessie k0lled Todd the way Mr White did it with his first vict0m, when he lost the toss coin with Pinkman. Perfect cercle. With these two it ended the way it started but in reverse.
My assumption on the first watch was he did it when he was keeled over coughing. But I can't see that working on this watch. We will call it TV magic for now haha
He didn't switch it. He got to the restaurant a few minutes early and took away all the stevia and put the poisoned one in the basket. An innocent person could have used it and died but Walt was willing to take that chance.
What is most sad is that Walt Jr last words to his dad is just die already he will never make it right with his son he cared so much about what people think of him when he is gone and he messed that all up he will never be seen as a hero he is a hated criminal instead. His family didn't even want his money anymore because of who he became and how he made it they just wanted him to live all along but he cared about their finances and that is not wrong to care about but he let his ego and pride dictate how he made that money and ruined everyones life.
'Felina' is the name of the song Walt is humming while he's assembling the machine gun rig. "Felina' is also three elements linked together. Fe (iron,) Li (lithium) and Na (sodium.)
The Stevia packet has been a subject of much debate. I tend to think he pre made one and brought that one of his own and swapped it. I doubt he did the ricin transfer in the cafe, but who knows. Seems like it would require precision that you'd need a private space to do and time so it wouldn't be noticeable. Also, the show did a great job at making you hate Walt by the end, but making Jack and crew so unlikable that you still root for Walt even though he's awful. A low key underrated moment is when they show Jesse in a better moment for a second before it cuts back to him in the meth lab. Better Call Saul is very good, but I think it starts off well behind Breaking Bad, but gradually gets better and better and by the end is amazing like peak Breaking Bad. But coming off the high of peak Breaking Bad, don't be discouraged if early Better Call Saul episodes don't match it. For me, it took a little time to get going.
This is a great end to the series and wraps up the story nicely. I didn’t think they needed a follow up movie but El Camino was excellent and gave an ending to the Jesse storyline
This was a GREAT journey, you guys! I had a blast :D Looking forward to El Camino and Better Call Saul! The Methamphetamine Cinematic Universe lives on lol
I loved that reaction! After you watch The Haunting of Hill House, you should watch Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. I love that show so much! And I think you will too.
The grey matter couple was evil, hank and marie were azzhles, and walt only started cooking because he didn't want his cancer to bankrupt his family. Sure, walt became a monster. But i have no sympathy for any other character besides jesse.
Walter was the a-hole his entire relationship with the Grey Matter couple, he was the one who left and sold his share after he found out Gretchen came from money. Walt also initiated their breakup while they were both about to get married. The show literally spells it out during "Peekaboo."
in a few ways,. Better Call Saul is an even better show than this. Crazy to think they nailed it the first time around then managed to make a second show arguably even better. enjoy the ride

@@John_Locke_108Why did you hate the show ??? I finished season 1 yesterday, and I think it was so good ........ Does it become bad after season 1 ????😢
@@Dahmen-ll8cd I really enjoyed the first two or three seasons. Thought it was terrific. But the rest of the seasons felt like a completely different show. It no longer felt like a show about the mafia and instead felt like a soap opera.
But most people would disagree with me.
This is the turning point of better caul Saul
Jokes dead bud
@@bigpictureguys8415you sound mad
@@huzzichhe does sound mad. I hope this is the turning point in his life.
It’s been a journey / a ride to watch this show (Breaking Bad) with you girls, and I can’t wait for you both to watch Better Call Saul, more of Game Of Thrones, and the next 2 movies of The Lord Of The Rings
Well, Badger & Skinny Pete are eternal kids.
I 100% believe Walther was ready to kill Jessie together with the rest but changed his mind when he saw the state Jessie was in.
25:32 - Walt shot Jack in the middle of his sentence, exactly the same way Jack shot Hank in the middle of his sentence. This show is a collection of brilliant little nuances.
I think Walt’s coughing fit at Lydia’s cafe table is far less relevant to her fate than the fact that Walt got there first and there was only a single stevia packet at her regular table.
This episode is where Breaking Bad finally starts to get good.
We are here!! Omg always a special moment before BCS 😁
Walt killed Jack the same way Jack killed Hank in the middle of talking right in the head
Time for El Camino!!!
The one we’ve all been waiting for
That's why there was only one Stevia packet there lol what was there early and took all the packets out of that table and left just the one that he had already contaminated with and sealed back up he knew exactly what table she always sits at and watched to make sure no one took it
I think the biggest takeaways from the final episodes is that Walt really did value his family more than anything else. But his huge ego/need for validation made him reckless and they all ended up paying the price
Edit: Yes, the finale made it clear that Walter did this all mostly for his ego. But that doesn't mean that he valued his ego more than his family - he knew that there was a possibility that his family would get hurt, but he didn't actually think it would happen, especially after he had killed Gus. When the choice came between Hank's life and all the money he had made, he was willing to give up the money with no hesitation. That was the point that established the heirachy of Walt's values.
But he didn't value his family more than anything else! If he did, he would have sucked it up and taken Elliott's offer. Instead, he opted to put everyone he loved in mortal danger multiple times.
Excellent take 👌 not like many people who think walter is just some mustache twirling villain , who is evil for the sake of being evil and that completely wrong

"If I have to hear one more time that you did this for the famil- "
"I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. I was... Alive."
exactly. He OBVIOUSLY cares about his family. Clearly. But the call of power (something he felt he never had) was simply too strong for him.
He just simply tries to do some damage control at the end there, to make sure that his family isn't doomed.
No, this was the episode where he finally decided to put his pride and ego aside and go out providing for his family and Jesse. If he wasn't dying, this episode might've gone differently.
@SidPhoenix2211 Exactly! They spell it out in the finale. Frankly, it's bizarre that anyone could come away from this episode, never mind the series as a whole, thinking he cared for his family more than anything else!
This is the most unique series I've ever watched!
24:51: "Mr. White, someone put a gun in your trunk"
EL CAMINO AND BETTER CALL SAUL NEXT
They already started BCS so I'm looking forward to that, but are they watching El Camino? I really think they would.. just hadn't heard yet
Now you need to watch the deleted scene where Walt kills Walt Jr. Chilling scene.
One of the first things that Jesse and Walt did together was kill two people even though Jesse didn't do the actual killing back then and Walt choked Krazy8 to death and at the end the last thing they did together was kill the group of people but this time Jesse choked Todd to death.
I watched you guys for FMAB and just this since this is the big episode ;D
... and then I stumbled onto some spicy content too ;D
good job :D rock on, hope you enjoy some more series
Walt finally got their respect lmao
We're here you guys, the finale 😢
I recommend watching, the penguin, with Colin Farrell. It just started, 3 episodes so far, really good!
can't believe you didn't dress up for this finale! I thought for sure yellow jumpsuits, or backup would be season 1 looks w/ariana as mustache Walt and maple as beanie Jesse
They did dress up for El Camino.
This finale is so good. I got to watch it as it first aired at a local movie theater that made a whole event out of it, which was a wild experience. The theater was packed and when Jesse killed Todd everyone lost their minds.
Are you guys going straight to Better Call Saul or doing El Camino first?
Edit: nvm, they answered the question literally like 30 seconds after I asked it lol.
Jessie k0lled Todd the way Mr White did it with his first vict0m, when he lost the toss coin with Pinkman. Perfect cercle. With these two it ended the way it started but in reverse.
This is starting to look like a turning point in the show
Didd you guys watch el camino next or do we have to wait until BCS is done?
You gotta givr Walt credit he didn't give up he finished what he started and saved Jesse
The Movie answers the question
To this day, I still cannot figure how Walt switched the stevia.
My assumption on the first watch was he did it when he was keeled over coughing. But I can't see that working on this watch. We will call it TV magic for now haha
I always just assumed he did it before they showed up… he knew exactly where they were going to sit and when
He didn't switch it. He got to the restaurant a few minutes early and took away all the stevia and put the poisoned one in the basket.
An innocent person could have used it and died but Walt was willing to take that chance.
What is most sad is that Walt Jr last words to his dad is just die already he will never make it right with his son he cared so much about what people think of him when he is gone and he messed that all up he will never be seen as a hero he is a hated criminal instead. His family didn't even want his money anymore because of who he became and how he made it they just wanted him to live all along but he cared about their finances and that is not wrong to care about but he let his ego and pride dictate how he made that money and ruined everyones life.
You made it. The final episode. I can't wait to see your reactions.
'Felina' is the name of the song Walt is humming while he's assembling the machine gun rig. "Felina' is also three elements linked together. Fe (iron,) Li (lithium) and Na (sodium.)
Greatest show ever.
I hate that Bryan Cranston is so good that I spend almost the entire show hating him but in this last episode, I'm like "Walt is kinda cool"
Best finale of all time
such a perfect ending
The Stevia packet has been a subject of much debate. I tend to think he pre made one and brought that one of his own and swapped it. I doubt he did the ricin transfer in the cafe, but who knows. Seems like it would require precision that you'd need a private space to do and time so it wouldn't be noticeable. Also, the show did a great job at making you hate Walt by the end, but making Jack and crew so unlikable that you still root for Walt even though he's awful. A low key underrated moment is when they show Jesse in a better moment for a second before it cuts back to him in the meth lab.
Better Call Saul is very good, but I think it starts off well behind Breaking Bad, but gradually gets better and better and by the end is amazing like peak Breaking Bad. But coming off the high of peak Breaking Bad, don't be discouraged if early Better Call Saul episodes don't match it. For me, it took a little time to get going.
This is a great end to the series and wraps up the story nicely. I didn’t think they needed a follow up movie but El Camino was excellent and gave an ending to the Jesse storyline
This was a GREAT journey, you guys! I had a blast :D
Looking forward to El Camino and Better Call Saul!
The Methamphetamine Cinematic Universe lives on lol
Dont forgot El Camino next
Ariana is the definition of jump to conclusions lol
Best reaction , Thank ❤
Ladies when you watched the pilot did you anticipate Walter White becoming what he became?
Man, I hope y'all haven't already seen, but will plan to react to 'The Wire', another fantastic, high concept crime drama.
"I didn't have a house key my entire time in the place I grew up" literally exactly the place I'd burglarlize.
El Camino is basically the next episode, like the actual finale.
Nope--it's the epilogue.
We finally got to the last turning point of the show
What a journey
amazing series
Greatest show ever. Hands down
I loved that reaction! After you watch The Haunting of Hill House, you should watch Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. I love that show so much! And I think you will too.
Y’all were so cute this episode 😭 but yeah what a ride
EL CAMEO
This was great. I hope you guys watch love death and robots sometime.
React to El Camino it’s a Breaking Bad Movie about how Jessie tries to Escape
They should watch the Breaking Bad episode of Mythbusters lmfao
Please watch breaking bad the movie EL CAMINO
Please watch the movie EL CAMEO
Are y'all gonna watch El Camino?
Greatest show evah!!!
The grey matter couple was evil, hank and marie were azzhles, and walt only started cooking because he didn't want his cancer to bankrupt his family. Sure, walt became a monster. But i have no sympathy for any other character besides jesse.
Walter was the a-hole his entire relationship with the Grey Matter couple, he was the one who left and sold his share after he found out Gretchen came from money. Walt also initiated their breakup while they were both about to get married. The show literally spells it out during "Peekaboo."
What brand of blanket is on Arianna? Look sssooo comfortable
in a few ways,. Better Call Saul is an even better show than this. Crazy to think they nailed it the first time around then managed to make a second show arguably even better. enjoy the ride
