He wasn't taking her down - he was putting it all on him to clear her
The power of the acting in this episode particularly during the family fight between Walt and Skylar is incredible, Sir Anthony Hopkins himself said that this show had some of the best acting he's ever seen.
Emmy Wins for this episode:
Best Written: Mora Walley Becket *(She was actually in the episode. She is the lady that Junior was helping at the cash register)
Lead Actor: B. Cranston (his 4th win for his portrayal as Walter)
Lead Actress: A. Gunn (her 2nd win for skylar)
This season won best drama series. Aaron Paul won for 5:11-Confessions (his 3rd win for Jessie)
Yes, Emmys were won by Walt, Skylar and the writer for this episode.
Throughout the entire series, many Emmys were won!
10 out of 10 masterpiece, IMO
I'm glad to see you enjoying it so much 😀
Damm, in this ep, even the infant playing Holly gave an Emmy-worthy performance! (Albeit purely by accident: she was simply looking over to her mother who was there just offscreen and crying for her, so Bryan Cranston played off of that and it just fit the scene perfectly.)
I’m blown away by Bryan Cranston’s acting every time I watch that phone call scene
" I watched Jane die," might have been the coldest line in TV history.
There was a cold one in ep 16 tooo hahahaha.
@@eliemoses Remember your "I need a something something something dispenser" for when you watch El Camino 😅
Right after Hank is shot , Walt falls over in the sand.
This is a visual representation of the broken statue of Ozymandias from the poem of the same name. Genius 🎉
Holy crap, learn something new everyday. What struck me was as he was just starting to fall over, the sun shown bright on one side of his head over the shoulder; as if god was telling him and the audience, who he really is and the consequences of his actions. Like that episode of doctor who where Davros told the doctor, "I have shown you yourself."
Walt knew the phone would be wired, so he was letting them record a quasi-confession from him to clear Skylar. And he took Holly to give weight to Skylar’s distress when talking to the cops, so it seems plausible that there is a clear divide between her and Walt.
I don't think that's the reason why he took Holly: at that moment, his wife and son were both against him, so out of desperation, he tried to salvage the only piece of his family he had left. He only changed his mind once Holly started calling her mother.
He took Holly because he wanted a family member who didn't hate him. He didn't come up with this plan until later.
That's not why he took Holly..
@findlestick great point. I'd never thought of that but it's a smart idea.
Walt took her and it made him look more of a monster, and gives more proof that he and Skyler weren't exactly partners in crime. To get her off the hook.
Hearing Hank’s final words to Walt, it wasn’t just a goodbye to his mortal enemy, it was a goodbye to his beloved brother in law.
I think Hank was trying to hold back tears, cause despite all that Heisenberg did, including all that Walt put him through, Walt was still his brother-in-law. Even sinking to the lowest he’s ever been hasn’t stopped Walt’s genuine love for his family.
Walt might’ve did inexcusable things at this point, but he did try and save Hank from Jack. He was even willing to swallow his pride, even his money if it meant saving Hank’s life.
It’s one of the few times he can say he did something for his family rather than himself.
I think Hank himself reconciled with Walt, even if it was only momentarily and short-lived, knowing that deep down, there was still some of his beloved brother-in-law within Heisenberg. That’s another part of what makes Hank’s end so tragic.
Everyone can hate Walter all they want, and I genuinely don’t blame them, but he DID try to save Hank. That’s something I genuinely can’t fault him for.
Ok, but if Walt wouldn't have done all this, Hank would still be alive so..
I know a few have already mentioned that Walt's phonecall to Skyler at the end of the episode was his way of telling the police it was his sole opperation, but if you have time, it's reallt worth taking a few minutes for a quick rewatch of just that part. As someone interested in the law, I'd think you;d find it facinating to watch just the call from that angle and to hear how he is trying to feed her an alibi on a silver platter.
It's also worth going back through and watching for Walt's performance, realizing why he was crying through the call despite playing the villain. He pauses at one moment, waiting for Skyler to play along and confirm she understands what he's doing. You can see his relief when she says, "You're right" because it means he can keep the charade on to help her and his gambit is working. The whole thing is executed so well that even the audience (e.g. UA-cam reactors) often miss it until 5x15 Granite State, where Saul breaks it down.
It's crazy to me how many people miss the fact that Walt was trying to get skylar off the hook (with the phone call he made to her) but easy to miss when Walt is so far gone at this point. Love the subtleties in this show.
Excellent reaction! Your face said it all during Walt’s confrontation with this family. Anna’s face went Walt took Holly breaks my heart every single time.
There's a reason why this episode got rated a perfect 10 on IMDb. Greatest piece of television of all times indeed.
Can absolutely relate to the show being addicting. Was watching it with my family and we wrapped up 5A on Friday night, 5B was being released on Netflix on Sunday. My parents decided we couldn't wait that long so we went and bought a physical copy for like $75 first thing Saturday morning and binged the rest because we couldn't wait the 24 hours until we could just stream it lol and we are not a family that watches tv during the day, but we couldn't resist
Watching it live, we had to wait a full year between those half seasons.
@@DIEGOSHAY It was brutal.
For anyone scrolling to check the comments to see if he picked up on what Walt was doing in the call; he didn't.
It's really surprising that so many reactors don't pick up on it even though Walt is talking nonsense and literally holding back tears.
I think i said in this reaction or the next that walt was putting an act in the call and that he was putting the persona on that he was being 'hard' i dont think i missed it unless i accidentally edited it out. Im pretty sure i acknowledge it in one of the pauses
@@eliemoses I'm glad you picked up on that. It's true that a lot of reactors I've seen sort of miss it, but it's probably because Bryan Cranston is such a tremendous actor. I always had some sympathy for Walt, all through the show, even though he did do terrible things sometimes. He's a fascinating character--a true antihero. Hope you'll watch Better Call Saul after you finish Breaking Bad. It's amazingly good.
@wendylagrego3394 thank you and yes i remember i think i say it in this ep i picked it up. He was actually distraught at the loss of hank. Yes better call saul will be done
@@eliemoses No, you said that Walt was trying to act hard like Heisenberg but was fighting against the Walt part of him that was upset about it.
That's not what was happening. Walt knew the police were there and was trying to absolve Skyler of all guilt. The camera even slowly zooms towards her and we see her realise this too, just before she starts playing along with him.
@BlueLikeWoah ok thank youu 🙂
Ozymandias is a television masterpiece. He grabs you by the throat from the first to the last scene. The level of script, direction and, above all, acting is at a level unattainable for many other artists
27:16 - When Holly was asking for her "mama", she was actually reacting to her REAL mother who was just off camera. But the director recognized the brilliance of this scene and left it in the final cut. Secondly, Anna Gunn (Skylar) needed therapy after acting out these incredible scenes. The entire cast truly earned their pay and showed their incredible ranges of talent. Thanks for another great reaction.
I'm late but here's a fun fact about this episode - when Walt falls to the ground and rests his head on the sand, the production team built a rig hidden under the sand to make the ground literally "crack" beneath him to symbolize everything crashing down on Walt at this exact moment! Such a masterpiece of an episode, really enjoying your reactions after seeing your BCS reactions 🙌
"You're the smartest guy I ever met, and you're too stupid to see, he made up his mind 10 minutes ago"
This is such a great episode, but I hate that that it's the end of the true hero of the series(and Gomey at that). RIP to Hank, but at least the man went out like an absolute boss. Even Jack had to respect his resolve. Walt was already going to hell, but he really secured a spot in the deepest circles in this episode.
Since it's such a heavy episode, here's some BB memes to lighten the mood

Holy deserve an Emmy award 👶
The only thing I don't like about this episode is the slew of holier-than-thou commenters who just have to point out that the reactor didn't pick up on the subtleties during the first watch. Like, even though Elie did an excellent reaction and summary here I just knew which scene would dominate the comments section.
Yes i didnt expect that hahaha but thank you. Felt like one miss undid all my reactions to the show. Oh well criticism taken 🫡
@@eliemoses Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much, as all reactors of BB get the same treatment. It's just a bit disappointing, that's all!
Tell your prof you were watching ozymandias. They’ll understand.
1:13 great song man, havent listened to your playlist yet ive been binging these reactions, ill get around to it after BCS aswell, your shouts/predictions have been amazing aswell man
It was put up early!!! This was one of, if not my FAVORITE episode of the show!
He wasn't taking her down. He knew the cops would be listening and he was putting on an act to make it seem like she knew nothing, did nothing illegal, and basically lived with him with the threat of death over her,
I did these last 3 episodes in quick succession too! Couldn't help myself! Great reaction Elie ❤️ 🙂
😁💜💜
During the scene in the bathroom with Walt and Holly, the baby's real-life mother was standing behind Walt. That's why she said mama, mama. The director decided to leave it in because it fit perfectly!
CRAZY!!!!
No not Hank and Walt got what was coming to him how dare he do that to Jesse
man decided to watch ozymandias before an assignment lmao
this was the first show featuring bryan cranston that i saw and i couldnt believe that he was most known for comedies/sitcoms beforehand
So? I binged the whole season instead of studying for a final :)
Bryan Cranston won several emmys (four or five on his own), the entire cast one a couple of emmys I believe for this season and possibly season 4. Skyler (Anna Gunn won and emmy I believe for this episode). Aaron Paul won 3 emmys total don't have the specifics hear. IMDB has it..... I am enjoying your reactions btw. Entertaining. I like the details you go into about the filming and audio.
Oh, and that phone call from Walter in the end was an obvious attempt to SAVE his wife. He knew the cops would be there recording so he made himself to be a monster and her to be the "kept wife" who was living in fear.
You missed it otherwise you'd have included it in the edit, Walt rolled the barrel past his pants from the very first episode.
To me, the n@zi gang leaving Walt with "10 or 11 million" is one of the most unbelievable moments in the series. It's necessary for what's to come as far as the plot is concerned, but requires a total suspension of disbelief: In reality they would have put him in the hole with Gomie and Hank.
I agree, the thing that "my nephew Todd likes you and he would never forgive me if i killed you"....
todd would have been over it in seconds XD
@@eliemoses that fucking sociapath would have went to skylar to tell her "sorry for your loss"...
Jack "too many savages out there" Welker has delusions of honor. Him robbing a grief struck man of 70 million dollars and then saying "Geez, what's with all the greed here" is in character and hilarious, even it requires a lil' credulity. I think there are plenty of things in the show that require greater levels of suspension of disbelief.
4:54 back when 9 bucks meant anything lol
If we had public health care this show would’ve been very different.
An amazing piece of TV history
This is Perfection!
If you are loving the personal interactions in this show as much as you are, then you might love Better Call Saul more if you plan on watching that as well
This show is about pain 😭
Perfect!
Throughly loved this reaction. Sorry it hit close to home.
This episode has the worst crime in the entire show: Flynn's false police report! /s 🙃
16:25 so angry you bout to go Mark Hunt on Walt lol.
If I was a betting squid I would have bet that you wouldn't have "got" the phone call. Your over exaggerated disdain for Walt blinded your comprehension & interpretation of the 'phone call'. I used to say that 50% of reactors misunderstand the phone call but now I'd say that percentage went up to about 60%, 6 out of 10 reactors misunderstand the phone call.
I do appreciate that you didn't blab to us every little thought that pops into your head, besides some of the physical reactions you had, for the most part you paid attention and you let the scenes play out without giving any plot predictions or making stupid off-the-cuff random thoughts or make any 'dad jokes'. Overall it this was a good reaction and you get a thumbs up from me.
are u gonna watch better call Saul?
You are right towards the end of this show you are have to keep going because each episode is phenomenal, of which this is the best one ever. Just love the flashback to S1 in the RV and Walt sporting his iconic Tighty Whities. Great scene when Hank says to Walt 'you are the smartest guy I've ever met, but too stupid to see he made up his mind 10 minutes ago'. Walt at last gets to feel real pain with Hank being executed before his eyes, but he is just another in the Domino Effect of all Walt's actions from the start. Todd saying 'sorry for your loss' again with no emotion, but Uncle Jack letting Walt off the hook is a big mistake on his part. The gang of course drag Jesse from out under the car. Walt telling Jesse he watched Jane choke to death after her OD seem so cruel, it's even making Elie think of damaging his gadgets after squashing his empty water bottle in last episode! We switch to the ordinaryness of the car wash again with Walt Junior oblivious to all. Jesse now enslaved by the Jack's gang as a Cook, and the deranged Todd hooking him up so he can't escape. Walt Junior just cannot accept the truth of what has happened. Skyler is of course no fool and knows Hank is dead. Great shot of the knife block reminiscent of the film Scream, Skyler now in 'Dark Willow' mode and just wants revenge on Walt, she has no hesitation slashing him, and a very realistic domestic fight breaks out which is hard to watch with Flynn looking on. With Holly crying in the background, Flynn rings the cops and fingers Walt, that's the end for him with his family as his son has turned on him now. Walt snatching Holly drags the tension even further. Holly calling 'Mama' a great scene, the Hoover Man is he only way out. The phone call to Skyler shows he is cracking up now, his ridculous arrogance and ego coming through again as he blames everyone but himself for what has happened. He sees some sense however dropping Holly at the Fire Station. ' I need a new dust filter for my Hoover MaxExtract PressurePro model 60 ' is the only way out now great wide shot of Walt waiting for the pickup. This I think was probably the best episode in the whole show, and that's saying something as they are all brilliant, but there are still two stunning episodes to finish the Series.
Jesse's fault btw
yup
This may be wildly inappropriate Elie but you’re cute when you’re mad😂😂😂
Hank 💔😭
All my homies hate uncle jack
