Mike's relationship with Jesse over the course of the series is kind of like a dad who's really against getting a pet dog but then ends up loving it more than anyone.
Imagine if Walt died after poisoning Brock. Mike and Jesse could have just kept working under gus together. Jesse would be loyal to mike, and mike would protect Jesse against Gus (probably) they would loyally make millions under Gus.
@@munchymonk9021 He doesn't even have to be protected from Gus since Gus wanted to take Jesse as one of his trusted employee and get rid of Walt causing all the problems
@@Alknix Fring didn’t have to do that. The laptop was uncrackable. Or at the very least it would have taken an algorithm about 50 years to be able open that Laptop.
What I find so ironic is how Gus was so ready to get rid of jesse from the start but here after just showing as you said some appreciation, jesse became more loyal to him and mike than walt for a while there
@@deathrager2404 I don't think that's the case at all, if gus would respect that sort of thing then he wouldn't allow kids to be used in the first place.

@@NotoriousBroadcasts Wasn't aware we were playing for pink slips, lol.

And then Mike blamed Walter White for ruining everything. But if Walter White did everything he was told, Jesse would've died from those two thugs that killed a child.
Jesse showed no ego because he was completely oblivious to Gus's plans of this "hit" being staged (later to be revealed to Jesse when Walt questions him about it). This is the moment when Mike knew that this is THE guy.
This is most likely staged but it is possible it wasn't right? Just because Walt questioned it doesn't definitely mean it was. I got my money on staged but there is a possibility it was the Salamanca's.
@@Anomaly-pn2pg I thought there was a scene with Mike confirming that it was. Though I can’t recall having not seen the series in awhile. Know what that means….
@@811chelseafc Again I'm pretty confident it was all staged but I don't think there's any scene where it shows it is, it's just Walt's intuition which is most likely correct but we are all assuming.
I believe at first Mike was pissed off thinking Jesse had run off in panic and that's why he looked and sounded pissed off when calling for a cab. But when Jesse came back to pick him up, he realised that not only had Jesse managed to outrun them (Id imagine they gave chase for a while to report back to Gus what he did) but he did it to protect the dead drop. It's at this moment Mike went from heavily disliking Jesse to respecting him.
To me it was a powerful scene. Jesse is so used to being berated and criticized by any parental figures and mentors he's had (both his parents and Walt). The look of confusion and uncertainty when he's being praised and accepted is heartbreaking because he's not used to being treated well.
I love the relationship between Mike and Jesse. The way he called him KID. Just like a loving and caring dad. I want a spin-off with just them, it would be amazing!
@@cactusmalone Yes he did. Aaron Paul really thought two guys came on set to kill him and he actually crashed his car into that other one and injured the stuntman. Vince planned it like this on purpose for the sake of authenticity. Vravo, Bince!
that one line "Smoke up kid" shows much more appreciation than walter ever gave to jesse in the entire show. don't get the wrong idea, I know walt cared about Jesse but he was never someone who is good at communicating
Mike and Jessie were two decent ppl in a world of evil men, lm glad one at least made it out alive. A son in need of a father and a father in need of a son.
I've always enjoyed the duality of Mike and Walt, they're both polar opposites and despite both being father figures to Jesse, Walt is the Father who wants his son to do bad and stay in the game, while Mike is the Father who wants Jesse to leave and start fresh.
I think Jesse was honestly Mike’s biggest second chance. Mike had lost most of his humanity at this point, but Jesse helped him re-find some of it, even if either of them hasn’t realized it.
Mike was calling Jesse a junkie and blamed Walter White for "ruining everything", even though Walter White is the one that saved Jesse. Because of Walter White, Mike would've NEVER gotten to like Jesse out of the blue.
If you look closely you'll notice the rear quarter panel of the Chrysler bends down after hitting the Cadillac. Not saying the car would be undrivable, but there would definitely be noticeable body damage and possible frame damage essentially totaling the car.
2:10 What is going on with Mike's face here? His cheek lifted up and his lips even curled up a little bit. I've never seen him do that before I think something went wrong maybe there was a glare in the window or something that made him look different. It's almost like when someone is happy and their lips curl upwards you know?
They need to now make a spin off all about Gus and his origin story. You got to see more of him in better call Saul and I know it would be a killer series
Were these actually people coming to rob them or did Gus/Mike hire these guys to see if Jesse was up to the task? I can’t remember what happened in the show.

He would take him under like a son and teach him all the tradecraft, kinda like in el Camino Jesse shows what he’s learned through experience
Gus would have eventually killed Jesse after he got someone to make meth. He always said you can't trust an addict.
Mike should’ve left the minute Walt killed Fring, he was a smart man but he underestimated walts ego
Underestimated more than his ego. Mike never saw Walt as a threat (physically). A grave mistake
Mike had to get rid of the laptop and hard drive.

When you earn Mike's trust, you smoke up.

"SMOKE UP!"
This seems exactly like something Tuco would do.
Or he'd open the glovebox and pull out a bottle of whiskey, saying: "Then have a drink instead"

Jesse looking at him like "really, Dad? I can ... smoke now?"
i've never smoked a cigarette in my life but the way Mike says 'smoke up' makes smoking sound healthy and delicious.

My favorite part of this scene is Mike's face when Jesse puts the cigarette back in the pack, he actually looks proud

Jesse wasn't decent, he gave meth to a teenage girl working at a gas station just to pay his bill.
Imagine if Mike were still alive when Jack's gang was holding him.
He and Walt would've probably ended up in a begrudging cooperation campaign before letting the latter have his last W and helping Jesse get to Alaska.

Mike allowing Jesse to smoke is an allegory of how he appreciates how he handled the situation.
