I'd disagree with you that getting away with it seemed too easy... It all came at a cost: - Skylar's guard-up regarding Walt's lies. - Jessie losing all his money to the DEA. - All the cooking equipment was handed over to Badger's removals guy. - Walt feels he looks even weaker to Skylar, Walt Jr, and Hank. - Walt & Jessie have no distributor for their meth. - Walt & Jessie left Tuco's relative alive.

“Skylers always putting on lotion.” “Well yeah she lives in the desert” As someone who’s seen this show countless times those are the kind of observations I come here for.
Walt should have just kept the whole "he sells me pot" lie going. It was the perfect excuse. "You gave me a lot of crap and threatened to call the DEA on the ex-student I buy from. It really helps with my cancer treatment. So I bought a burner phone to deal with him" Boom problem solved.

Arianna and Maple are fun to react to a show with, because they pay attention to what's going on and notice the details. Sometimes they are wrong in their assumptions, but I'm here to hear their take, because I've watched this before and I'm looking for a facsimile of that original experience. I'm here to grasp the ungraspable, to relive the show through the eyes of someone who's never experienced it and can articulate what it's like to watch the characters develop and the story to progress from scratch.
I think Hector (wheelchair guy) not helping the DEA was more because being a snitch would hurt his and his family's reputation and not that he was concerned that he can't hurt Jesse if he's behind bars, prison shanking probably isn't too difficult to set up for someone like that. Making the claim to the people his family does dealings with that he snitched on someone, but that was an exception because it was personal and totally not something he'd do to anyone else, now that would be difficult, considering how paranoid everyone is already.
You might think Badger’s an idiot now, but you’re going to be shocked to see how he learns and grows as a character to become one of the most astute…, no, I can’t even type that with a straight face. Some characters, they’re just always going to be Badger. But guess what? you’re going to come to love him anyway.
"they're all doing not-good things" yup, just like everyone IRL, and just like everyone IRL they rationalize how the "not-good" things were necessary, or how they had no choice, or were actually GOOD things.
"Was you ever bit by a dead bee?" is a repeated line in To Have and Have Not (1944) starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. It's where the two of them met and fell in love. Good wartime picture.
1:55 Out of focus is something that is a hint for things to come. This show is so clever, that they give you glimpses of things you don't see as anything important, until after a specific future episode or season.
@@aneffortlesssmile I'm not sure about that but the show has things like this sprinkled about. The painting of the man rowing a boat, as his family waves goodbye is another thing. 2:21 A similar painting is in season 5, episode 8. Walt stares at it, wondering where the paintings come from.
Originally, Jesse was supposed to be killed by Tuco at the end of season 1... but he was such a good character of course they kept him. Good thing they did.
You two are seriously so much fun to watch and your reactions are always top tier. You both genuinely take in your viewing and simultaneously enjoy it together. This is one of the greatest series of all time and im going through these reacts to catch up. Love this channel. (Sidenote) bager and skinny pete are far smarter than they let on and you will come to love them i assure you
Im funny with needles. My thinking brain has no problem with them. My subconscious will make me pass out from them. If I watch a needle go into my arm, I will get light headed and need to be watched. But I have no problem watching it go in.
I like all of Jesses "boys", Badger, Pete, Combo. But you have to admit, in that situation in the basement, Badgers behaviour was pretty stupid and annoying. Imagine you need to get rid of evidence that could get you in jail for many years, and that the cops would probably be back at the house more sooner than later, and you buddy seriously ask stupid sh*t like "can't we cook a quick batch?".
Yeah Badger and Skinny Pete get better as the show goes on. Really all of Jesse’s friends show extreme loyalty, but I get it tho. Badger comes across as kind of dumb in the early stages
Hank early on, was hard to really like, due to the way they had him act. A bit of a bully early on, and later they really make the character more nuanced and subtle. He has his macho persona, but as with any guy, it's used as a shield for things you have to deal with. Same way a Goth uses their "image" to shield them from pain or trauma, and not allow people to get too close emotionally.
I live in Abq and used to work about 1 mile from the Hi Lo Market. It's a completely different store now. For me, the most annoying character is Walt Jr.
@@TheMerovingienne sold drugs to a distributor, destroyed half a building with a volumized mercury, tried to grape his wife, conspiracy to committ murder with the beans. Walter White is not a by any means a hero or antihero he's just doing what he THINKS is right and I guess we all think we're the hero of our own story
That's an exaggeration. He plays the game he's in. No more, no less. Fact is, he was taken at gunpoint 2 episodes ago. If he was growing and selling weed instead of meth and looked like Seth Rogan, I don't think you'd be calling him a monster.
I'm not into guns at all, but even I know two assault rifles and could probably identify them visually, the M16 and the AK47. It looked like an M16 to me. So my guess would be that either they uses the wording M16, exactly because it's even know to the "non gun-nerd" viewer. Or if it's really the civil version, would Hank be even able to see the difference from that distance during a shootout?
Wiki states it’s an M4A1 and that Hank misidentified it as an M-16. I’m not much into guns but I thought that AR-15’s are semi-automatic without being modified in some way? Also this was like 2008-2009, before most of the AR-15 discussions in the media.
@@SovereignJoh I just did a quick wiki read, and it looks like only the first models back in the 60s where called AR-15, but AR-15 is also the basis on that Colt build upon all their many different (dozens of them) versions of the M16 and later M4 as a shorter variant.

12:54 Correct. In that case the analyst would be allowed, if not obliged to contact law enforcement.
The first two episodes were supposed to originally be the finale to season one. This episode would have been the start of season two.
That's not true. S1 was supposed to have a completely different ending, and these two were written from scratch after the 2008 strike.
@@onepureturtlenot only that but jesse was gonna be killed too.
Jesses friends, badger, skinny pete are great characters; cant wait to see what you think of them later on as the show keeps progressing
19:37 and that’s why the show is called Breaking Bad
19:50 also it’s still a brilliant shot of how deeper Walter gets, he stares at a “missing” poster
Like the original "Walt" is 'missing' as he is replaced by Heisenberg? Haven't thought of that before, nice!
