There are several reasons Gus only gave Walt one hour, since he was reluctant to work with Walt he may have had someone watching Jessie & known he was passed out. It could have been a test to see if Walt can deliver with his junkie partner incapacitated. Also 1st drug meet with strangers can be done in short timeframe to prevent being set up. It's easier to see if someone is legit by forcing them to react quickly. Gus would have had someone tail Walt to make sure he wasn't doing anything shady. It's the element of surprise to show dominance.
You did not just pronounce Pollos as "pole-os"
now I know why you have such a dumb take on this. DUmb Kiwi
its actually insane how mike had ONE SCENE in s2 and everyone wanted him back. jonathan banks is him🤣
He had 2 scenes. After he cleans up Jesse’s apartment he drives Walter to the drug den that Jesse has been
@@it.was.written damn🤥
He is the guy
Imagine being a veteran actor with limited success and then comes along a masterful role to accentuate your career and legacy
You did not just put 3.5hrs into a Part II, I cannot imagine season 5!! Can’t wait man!
2 hours for each episode
finally
The paint on the wall might be foreshadowing for
That'll be like 3 part movie trilogy
season 5 is gonna be 5 parts 3 hours each video
@@Charles_the_toast a whole star wars trilogy
Three and a half hours... for part two of season two??
If you're in this deep about season two, I cannot IMAGINE the next couple seasons coming up. You're amazing.
I’m equally excited as I am scared to get to the later seasons lol
we're gonna have a 24 hour long mega compilation video
@@PhantoFantasma still shorter than breaking bas
@@TheVividKiWi You are a real one
@@TheVividKiWi Yeah season 5 is gonna be broken up into a lot of parts
Part 1 live free or die
Part 2 ep 2,3,4
Part 3 dead freight
Part 4 buyout
Part 5 say my name
Part 6 gliding over all
Part 7 blood money
Part 8 buried
Part 9 rabid dog
Part 10 to hajilee ( probs spelt wrong)
Part 11 the first 10 mins of ozymandias
Part 12 th first half of the Walt / skylar fight
Part 13 the other half
Part 14 the phone call
Part 15 granite state
Part 16 granite state
Part 17 granite state
Part 18, 19,20,21- felina
This would probably take more time to watch than the actual show
Btw each part is like an hour long
And a separate video
"hey, did you know that you have rights?" makes me laugh every time
"The Constitution says you do, and so do I!"
Thank you Saul for blessing me with rights
Walt telling Gus that he has 38 pounds "ready to go at a moment's notice" might have prompted Gus to test if he can professionally stick true to his word which is why Victor gave him only one hour to prepare the deal (and that might have been a generous hour too)
the Ozymandias segment is gonna be 3 hours long by itself
I can't wait for S3
Yeah season 5 is gonna be broken up into a lot of parts
Part 1 live free or die

It really does market itself, doesn't it?
I love how both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have an episode where 2 main characters are stranded in the desert with barely enough resources to survive
There's actually a scene in breaking bad that could be a retroactive reference. In season 5, there's a scene where walt, saul and jesse meet in the desert. Walt decides to just talk to jesse and so tells saul to "take a walk." Instead saul just sits by the car.
Heisenberg
The switch up to blaming Marie for 4 days out is so funny 😂😂😂
Jesus Marie!
I personally considered Walt making Junior drink as a way of taking control over his son, because Hank always was more of a father figure tham Walt.
Yeah me too.
Big theme for Walt is suicidality and lack of control. He craves control and thought he would gain it by making money and dying. But, unfortunately for him, he has to continue living and suffering and can't be the hero he wants to be. The scene with Junior is him trying to grab back some of that control that has been taken from him.
1:44:50 I think he is more satisfied over the fact that he put Hank in his place for once, after Hank emasculated him time after time in the show at this point. I think in this scene he didn't really give a crap or even is aware he hurt Jr. He's just smiling he finally stood up for himself to Hank. That's my take at least.
Yes, I agree! Also would add that Hank and "Flynn" were having a chummy moment and Walt wanted to break that up, which he did in spades. He hates how Jr. admires Hank for being a bad ass DEA agent, so he goes extra bad ass, pouring the booze and butting heads with Hank, who never knows his place. I really hate the way Hank treated Walt at his birthday party in the pilot episode, and yes, it was certainly about time that Walt put him in his place, it just came out in a weird way to his mood and alcohol abuse. He's definitely smiling with satisfaction at Hank being thwarted, he's not thinking about Jr. at all, or perhaps a rub for changing his name to Flynn.
Gus asking about Walt to hank isn't a plot hole. He's just making small talk and fitting in. He assuredly already knows all of this.
There were a lot of happy accidents early on in the show's development that ended up guiding it in a much better direction.
From the writer's strike cutting Season 1 short, rerouting the show from a rushed run, to Tuco having to be cut as the main antagonist for Season 2, opening a window for new fantastic characters like Gus, Saul, and Mike, and further more nuanced exploration of the characters currently present, to Bob Odenkirk's issues in scheduling being directly responsible for the existence of Mike Ehrmantraut, I think we can safely say the show would've likely been much WORSE off if things had gone so cleanly for the BB team.
This should stand as a lesson to all aspiring creatives to really go with the flow. See opportunity in adversity. Embrace any perceived inconveniences as much as possible, and you will be rewarded beyond your imagination. What's today's trash is tomorrow's treasure.
Keep up the good work, everybody.
I agree, this show is filled with happy accidents. It’s lightening in a bottle - both intentionally, and unintentionally. Thanks for the support btw!
Gus saying “You cant trust an addict” might have something to do with Walt being the true addict by just being addicted to his own pride or whatever you would call it, all of these things he does. Walt being addicted to being the best. In the end Gus should have trusted Jesse and not Walt.
He tried to. Gus had Mike trying to separate Jesse and Walt, with the intention of keeping Jesse as the head cook and getting rid of Walt. Jesse was too loyal and too heavily manipulated by Walt in the end.
3:14:00 I interpreted this scene as Gus knowing this information being why he was at the DEA in the first place. Getting to know the people closest to Walt so he can understand him and his motivations, as well as his weakpoints.
Yeah, I didn’t even think about it until Kiwi pointed out that they made it seem like Gus really didn’t know when he should have. But it also makes sense that Gus did know that info but was putting himself in place to learn more
@@KDBetter Additionally, of course Gus (and by extension, the writers) is gonna make it seem like he's just learning this now. How fucking weird would it be if the owner of the local chicken joint strolls into your office one day and knows all about your brother in law and his terminal lung cancer??
Plus, we know from the BCS missing scene with Mike and Saul during episode 208 that Mike knew all about Walter's cancer, and we know from his relationship with Gus at the end of BCS that there is a near 0% chance he wouldn't have relayed that to Gus
I love your super long videos. not only do they keep me entertained throughout my work day, the detail of your analysis helps me appreciate these shows more.
The scene where skylar confronts walt at the end of the season is one of my favorites of the show. I was glued to my screen and the way Ana delivers the line “and then I called your mother” is just *chefs kiss*
I believe I they actually killed off Tortuga because the actor always wants the character to be killed. As I recall he says it’s because he always plays cartel characters and doesn’t like them being shown as successful long-living people
bossman i’ve never been into video essay type videos but something about your narration about the chronicles of this bald man gets me
The thing about Gustavo not knowing about Walt is interesting, even more taking BCS into account. There's that scene in the final season, after the empty graveyard scene, where Mike tells Saul all about Walter and his condition. It stands to reason to believe that everything Mike said then, he would've told Gustavo once Saul got him to introduce Walt and Jesse to him. But it's interesting that Mike didn't mention Walt's brother in law being a DEA agent, which he surely would've mentioned to Saul as another reason for him to be a liability, let alone to Gustavo. Hard to believe that medical records are easier to get ahold of than the extended family tree.
A scene in early season 3 has Mike sharing those details about Walt's physical and mental health and Mike has a great funny line in there too, it's first time we see them together in fact, parked alone at a nondescript location . Mike : "If you want to hire this guy, why don't you just tell him? You're the only thing that sticks between him and an axe to the head" referring to the twins.
My thoughts about the "Junior throwing up from drinking" scene. Is just about control. Hank is the big dick of the room which makes Walt feel inferior in his own home. He's even being "commanded" by Hank to keep filling his shot glass up. So Walt takes control of the situation, making his son drink. Hank tries to stop it, but Walt forces his way through by pouring alcohol between his fingers. Then gets angry when Hank takes the bottle away, commanding him with force to "BRING...THE BOTTLE...BACK". Then it all comes to a close with Junior throwing up which basically ends the scene. He's probably satisfied a little bit, between been drunk and getting his bottle back as Hank puts it on the table. Meaning Walt technically wins.
I love how Saul can go from almost becoming Courier Six from Fallout New Vegas to stacking green paper in an instant.
I'd put 213 in SS too. The introduction to Mike, all of consequences of Jane's death, different results of laundering Walt's money, and finally, Skyler leaving Walt and the plane crash.
I have fallen asleep to this too many times to keep track of. I need season 3.
I can’t wait to see you complete breaking bad, better call Saul and el Camino in one tier list
In a wild turn of events, the newest Jojo part made a nearly one-to-one recreation of the Badger arresting scene. Was surreal reading that at launch
Wait wait what ?
Plz fill me ive only seen part 1 but if you give me the details I’ll skip to that specific scene for that specific scene
@@Kaze.No.Okami. lmao its part 9 Jojolands chapter 2 (manga btw)
Because I haven't started part 9 yet I thought you were an anime only and meant stone ocean and I was stupefied.
There are 2 reasons why i think that he pushed Junior to drink so much. the obvious first reason is Walt is upset about the cancer. The other reason is because Walt is trying to assert his dominance as the man of the house. In the first 2 seasons it’s clear that Walt is jealous that Junior thinks Hank is “cooler” than him. We see this in pilot where Hank is the center of attention at Walt’s birthday party. at the beginning of the drinking scene Hank is talking about turtle bomb Junior is clearly very interested and Walt is clearly jealous. He even tells Hank that “that’s my son, my bottle, my house!”
i rly love your analysis of the walt/jesse kidnapping saul scene. i realized that saul was clever to get himself out but the way you pointed out every detail painted a full picture that i missed. saul the goat in both shows
Your channel does not get enough attention for how much work you put into your videos, with the length, good editing and a good concept for a video you deserve much more.
Can’t believe how many times I’ve watch this show, and even wrote a 300+ quiz for an app on it. And I didn’t even realise he saw the results of his test in the reflection after Marie was talking about how easy it is to notice the cancer.
This deserves at least 7 million views dude
The writing and performance for "Days Out" were so brilliant that, even though I knew there were still 3 seasons to go, I was still biting my nails, wondering if Jesse and Walt would get out of there alive. Props to the creators, y'all did god's work with this show.
IMO Gus was aware but wasn't sure if Walt was working for the DEA so that scene is completely fine because he's using the situation he's in to find out whether or not Walt works with for DEA
It’s amazing I can watch a 3 hour video and wanting more. Very few UA-camrs can achieve that and that’s a testament to their quality of work. 💪
I love how u changed the background music during the better call saul episode segment
Will El Camino be part of the season 5b tier list or will it not be included? Great video as always
Different video at some point👍🏻
3:14:48 this scene was a character building scene because it is one of the first Gus scenes (release order-wise).
It's showing that Gus was a sponsor/friend of the D.E.A. and how he hides in plain sight.
Yesterday was a rough day at work, and seeing this video appear on my feed instantly made my day better. Thanks as always for your quality analysis videos!
I haven’t even started it but I know this is going to be a banger. Thanks for taking the time to make these. They are amazing
Been waiting for this episode for so long can’t wait for the rest of the show. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for making these! It helps me concentrate during work - which can get really reptitive. Your videos help me get through the day
3 and a half hours for a part 2 of the season!! Sweet! So many fond memories of this show as this was when I was freshly hooked and it was such an amazing feeling getting sucked into this world. It's always fun getting the episodes but then your breakdown is getting to enjoy them again but not get sick of them and you point out new things to appreciate in.
Lets goooo 3+ hours! I appreciate the hard work you put into this tier list videos!
Kiwi you legend I waited so long for this one and already excited for the next parts! Thanks for those amazing videos👌
Gosh you deserve so many more subscribers for the amount of work you put into these videos. Amazing!
i love how when you got to ep 208 you switched the better call Saul theme you used in your bcs rank tire list vids. good stuff !
I was very excited for this one! I started watching Breaking Bad some weeks ago and I'm obsessed with this show. Really enjoying these retrospective videos, keep up the great work
The Badger scene was very funny for me bc I had seen it being referenced in a manga before and I didn't know it was actually a Breaking Bad reference at the time
Oh man seeing this made my day! And over 3 and a half hours. You absolute legend!
Oh boy, I've been waiting for this video for too long, keep up the good work Kiwi :)
Hey man idk if you still read comments, but I went to sleep as soon as your video started and heard THE ENTIRE VIDEO from start to finish in my dreams, as soon as I heard your outro it automatically woke me up so that I could put on another
I love these videos, thank you for making them.
Always excited to see another one! I know it's a pain to edit and probably even more so to export it, but as long as these are coming you have my attention fully
3 and a half hours... for a second part of a season retrospect. Yeah this dude's season 3,4, and 5 videos are gonna be so fire lol
man i seriously love your content keep it up!
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this video and now it’s finally here!!
Absolutely love these videos, thank you so much for making them 😊
Damn Felina is going to be its own 10 hours video lmao
(btw not hating, i like watching long video essays so)
I think a possible explanation of gus' distrust of junkies is Tuco. Tuco is a junkie, and as a salamanca and specifically the salamanca North of the border after lalo died and before the events of season 2 of bcs, it's highly likely gus had dealings with tuco. It's even possible that gus didn't even have a specifically negative interaction with tuco, he just hates him because he's a salamanca so basically tuco =salamanca, salamanca = bad tuco = junkie therefore junkie = bad
I find it more likely that Gus hears the cartel members (Bolsa and others) complain about Tuco, so he sees Tuco as the weak link of the Salamancas because he is a junkie. So to him, junkie = weak link.
Appreciate you man all the time an effort you put into these breaking bad bangers 💪🔥
LETS GOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR LIKE A MONTH!!! IM SO HYPED
great feeling seeing these videos show up in my recommended
Been waiting for this video, cant belive its 3.5 hours. Crazy work Kiwi!!
Fun fact the Heisenberg theme is on the GTA V radio station East Los FM. I’ve drove round and exploded multiple cops to it. BANGER!
Well worth the wait! Thank you Kiwi!
Your teir lists are the best I've watched 🙌
Thanks kiwi, you made me so happy with this long ass vid🙏 never fails to make me smile remembering all the scenes from breaking bad/better call Saul
incredible video, absolutely can not wait for season 3 restrospective
Finally finished . We appreciate every detail you include bro . Hopefully we don’t wait to long for season 3 retro
Whenever Thevividkiwi update a video of Breaking Bad tier list/retrospective and/or characters retrospective/study it like my birthday came a bit early.
Love these video listening to them at work thanks for the content man also best of luck with the later seasons
woooooow 3 and a half hour thaaank you so much for going this in depth with your reviews!!!!!!!!!!
Great video.. Cant wait until August for the Season 3!!
THANK YOU BRO . These are clutch at work . Even from just a listening standpoint . Keep rocking
the hank and marie wedding thing wasnt a deleted scene, it was part of a web series made to promote the show that shows little non-important stories that take place in between the main story. incredible video btw. lots of work put into this.
Another great video, I will watch again and again! Hope you been well.
3 and a half hours in a part 2 to season 2.. deserves a subscription in its own
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of your retrospectives! Looking forward to the ones for season 3!
I watch my Breaking Bad DVDs like a toddler. Only series I could ever watch 3 to 4 times a year for 10 years (I watched it for the first time during the marathon on AMC before the finale, then rented the DVDs afterwards because I'd missed some episodes). And yet, I still can't wait for your breakdowns and summaries. LOVE IT!!!!
i love these videos! are you going to cover the whole series? bc i cant wait to see you cover season 4 and 5 for 10 hours each xd
I've waited a whole month to watch this. Absolutely worth it
FINALLYYYY!!! YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THE SEASONS I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THANK YOU FOR THE HARD WORK‼️‼️‼️
I only just discovered your channel recently and have been waiting on this forever. When are you gonna be able to get to Season 3? Gus is the best character.
His videos are so good because he takes a lot of time to produce them. I'd plan on re-watching some of his other videos in the meantime. I'd assume (based on previous upload times) you can plan on a new long-form video every month or so. I think his videos are well worth the wait.
Sussy Gussy
Heyyyyy Kiwiiii!!! As always - super proud to be part of this community. Thank you!
You should have put up a 'Put a pin in it for now' counter here as well 😂👍
i love your keen eye on all the details in this beautiful show, i definitely subscribed. i can’t wait for you to do the next three seasons!
dude, can't wait for the next vid, legit been wathcing these over and over while doing work/gaming, legit like listening to radio/podcast for me.
Great work!
I love this series i had to get cavities filled so you already know i was rewatching these to keep my mind off it im so excited for the future of this series and so happy for you in its success keep up the good work love you kiwi
For the tangent at 1:13:24 when you sell drugs, you would wholesale the pounds to be about 10-20% reduction from the smaller quantities so they would be selling the pounds for 35k each about. Anyway; great vid
Regarding the junkie in 2x10 you have to remember that hard drugs take a hell of a toll on your body. That’s probably why he looks the way he does. I mean take a look at Spooge and his woman. They’re probably only in their late 30s - early 40s but look a hell of a lot older due to their habits. Just go look up before and after photos of junkies. Even Aaron Paul was not sold on Jesse having perfect teeth and skin in the show despite his addiction
Plus he had to deal with the reds and blues. That'll make anyone look rough!
these videos are such top quality, cant believe i get to watch this for free. keep it up
I was looking at your older stuff on this channel. And I’m like wtf?? So with that said. Congratulations on your channel now. You have came a long way. I love your videos and your editing and writing are top notch. Absolutely good stuff. I’ve seen the series to many times to count. And I love these videos! Respect guy!
Cheers for these tier lists, it's been helping me sleep!
I always wondered why....Hank, being obsessed with Heisenberg......why he didn't start going after badger . Or even Saul
I've been waiting Kiwi
Wow this video is a banger. Well deserved numbers Kiwi.
Thanks so much Kiwi for all hard work you have put into these videos. I have have been watching Odenkirk in AMC’s Lucky Hank. He is okay but the series is underwhelming 🙏☮️
and thank you for acctualy using clips from the show, unlike other people who just loops trailer clips!!!!!
I was waiting for this one :)
Yesss been waiting for this 😁😁
23:22 I just finished BB recently, and this was, at the time, my favorite cold open and wasn't beaten until the next season, but it still remains my second favorite
Ayy been waiting for this for weeks lol
