The ending is like a crossover from two different TV shows happening. Lalo and Howard should have never been in the same room together. But this was finally the moment that Jimmy existing in both worlds made them come together

[@miromaynigo]

Right! Like two complete, different characters from different worlds collided. Such a cool and tense moment.

[@joeysnowynoey]

It makes Lalos appearance almost disturbing to me. Like these two worlds were never crossed so seeing them together is chilling.

[@tweets009]

its like breaking bad when skylar starts getting involved and when other people start getting involved with walts regular life and when people figure out who he really is and both of walts worlds are colliding, but this honestly was way better and there was so much more separation between the two worlds and them coming together slowly throughout bcs felt so big

[@mr.moviemafia]

The shot of Saul and Kim having sex on the couch at 11:34 while listening to Howard’s humiliation is one of the most disturbing moments in the show for me. Howard was spot on with his claim that they’re malicious and “get off” on what they’re doing to him.

[@pencil6965]

Howard was BCS's Hank. A decent guy, who while not perfect, was genuinely just trying to do the right thing, and was ultimately killed because of our "Hero's" downward spiral. Of all the main characters, they were probably the two least deserving of their outcomes.

[@MrRobot-jb5tl]

Howard was infinitely times better the man than Hank. He understood Jimmy's perspective of being belittled from the start, meanwhile Hank always belittled Walt at the beginning. Howard also still cared about Jimmy and Kim when Lalo showed up, he was very concerned for what was about to be happen to them. Hank on the other hand was obsessed on Walt/Heisenberg.

[@woodsie8965]

@@MrRobot-jb5tl Well, to be fair, walt was both a meth dealer, and a murderer, and he was pretending to be a good guy to hank the whole time, so I can understand why he would hate walt more. Jimmy was largely just a prick to Howard. Nor did he ever really pretend to be close to Howard. So the level of betrayal was leagues lower.

[@woodsie8965]

The only reason I would say Howard "deserved" his death less, is the fact that Hank willingly took a job that he knew to be dangerous, and actively perused dangerous criminals, where Howard was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@miromaynigo]

Hank was not a decent man in the first place. He’s a good example of the macho, over-the-top guy.

Everything about this episode, hell this SHOW, is perfection. Love every single second of it.

[@graystark240]

16:00 That’s how I felt Eric😂. Can there be no time for mourning? Straight to theories? For the love of God😂

[@michaelcano7]

Interesting Fact: The reason Lalo decides to go see Jimmy is because when he sees the cockroach on the wall, he thinks of the “La Cucaracha” in which he called Jimmy in a previous episode.

[@appleairpods8527]

Because he said that he was a survivor, like a cockroach

[@Mozzylver1]

[@83gemm]

Yeah after 3, I said, “Oh, my gosh, that’s the third episode! What else is coming?!” Well, I jolly well found out, didn’t I?

[@miromaynigo]

That candle flicker is one of the most scariest clip from a non-horror picture. I remember watching this with the rest of the world and it fucking depressed me. I was so mad and sad at the same time as if I witness an actual murder. Patrick Fabian deserves a lot of praise for his role. His character is one of the best in the Breaking Bad/BCS universe.

[@morganrichardson8859]

I clicked on this reaction with such speed and fury. Your reaction to Howard's murder brought back all of my emotions. I don't have the vocabulary to express how unfair it was that Howard died.

[@KS-qc3pr]

There’s not many, if any death scenes I can remember watching that hit me as hard as this. It feels random and visceral enough to come off as completely real and authentic.

[@stewyyishim]

ong something about watching this episode live the first time just hit so hard. i legit couldnt breathe

[@Efro1632]

I would put Andrea's death higher than this. So fucking sudden and nonchalant and completely undeserving. And it was nailed home even harder with Jesse's otherworldly scream when he saw it happen. I don't know, something about it just really shook me and I have the hardest time rewatching that episode.

[@stewyyishim]

@@Efro1632 I'm sure that death would have hit a bit harder if i hadnt got it spoiled beforehand, but that was easily one of the most shocking moments in the verse

[@ianmcclure3936]

@@Efro1632 I already kinda knew Andrea would die when I saw Todd at her front door. Jesse tried to escape Jacks gang and he got punished for it. Also in "Ozymandias" while Jesse is chained up to cook meth for Todd. He finds a picture of Andrea and her kid. The forshadowing was all there. Howards on the other hand came out of nowhere. I had a feeling he might have died from suicide since Kim and Jimmy just destroyed his career and life, but I never would have thought Lalo of all people would have killed him. Also I never had a sympathetic connection with Andrea's character. Her death was tragic, but I honestly I felt more bad for Jesse. While Howard was a relatable and sympathetic character. Sure he wasn't perfect and sometimes would come off as an ass, but he did his Job well and was an overall good person who had no criminal background. So for him to be killed in that way was all but tragic. Even more tragic than Hanks death from BB imo.

[@Efro1632]

I suppose in my eyes a single mother getting gunned down by a psycho at her home with her son sleeping upstairs just feels worse than a smarmy but good-hearted lawyer stumbling into his own demise. I wish I had more of a connection with Howard but he just didn't evoke much feeling from me. I felt worse when Chuck died.

[@MrHartApart]

That spinning the can trick works. My father didn't make it to the second half of this season, but he DID learn this trick and while we were shopping once, a stocker dropped a couple clear plastic soda bottles. Even from the mobility scooter he was able to show the kid this trick and it lit him up big time. Miss you pop!

15:09 "Our Hero is dead." Couldn't have said it better myself, Eric.

[@Leo501st]

So much Sybolism and callbacks in this episode: - Howard hitting his head before hitting the ground just like Chuck - Howard and Chucks death ultimately being cause by indirect actions by both Jimmy and Kim. - Last Season, Lalo compared Jimmy to a cockroach...he sees a cockroach in the sewer and comes up with a plan for Jimmy... - Howard Twirling the Can, Lalo Twirling the Supressor - Howard explaining that Chuck Always twirled his cans just in case anything happened...insinuating that Jimmy always used to shake Chuck's cans to prank him - Mike in EP 4 said it was a 1000 to 1 chance that Lalo would come for Jimmy and Kim. Mike took all his guy off the Low Priority Targets, allowing Lalo to to meet with Jimmy and Kim unseen. Smaller details like: Earlier this episode...That intern Cary with the Soda cans...he says "i hope somebody says that about me someday" after Howard calls chuck "The greatest Legal Mind i ever Knew"...Howard replies to Cary "Well...maybe there are more important things"...Bc Howard knew that once that was taken away from Chuck...he killed himself. - Earlier in the Last scene...the Candle flickers when someone opens the door...it flickers again bc Lalo has entered the room. Its not even that big of a detail...its just such an interesting way to show tension and to give information tobthe audience. This show is so damn good

Legit a horror scene. I was so scared the first time watching this. The moment the candle first blew, I started panicking and then I realized "Oh thank goodness, it's only Howard." And then I realized "OH NO IT'S HOWARD, HOWARD PLEASE RUN" because I knew something was coming to that apartment. The whole time Howard was talking I kept my eye on that dark doorway behind him which was specifically placed in many of the shots of the scene to invoke that anxiety. The way this scene mirrored and bookended that scene in "Bad Choice Road" is just masterful.

[@mikederbyshire]

Part of the brilliance of BCS is how appropriate some of the dialogue is in a way the character doesn't actually mean. Mike says 'the trap's set, Salamanca walks in, he goes down'. Exactly what happens. Jimmy and Kim 's plan, lalo walks in, Howard goes down. Reminds me at least of what Mike says at the beginning of the season - 'whatever happens next it won't go down the way you think'

[@franciscooctavius5957]

You made it! RIP Howard. You didn’t deserve this. Absolutely amazing episode of pure genius and cemented Lalo as one if the greatest villains ever.

[@louaug27]

This was an incredible reaction and discussion as always - worth the wait! Maybe even more so than Ozymandias, this is the most powerful, impactful hour of television I’ve witnessed. The way they pull you in, make you cheer for Jimmy and Kim despite their wickedness, only for their victory to inadvertently end Howard’s life. That was a gut punch. It felt for a moment like my heart stopped when it aired, and I stood speechless and motionless for quite some time afterwards. This is where things well and truly change for Jimmy and Kim. They’ve gotten someone killed. There is no more innocence. Looking forward to you all seeing how things wrap up from here.

The absolute disgust that I felt toward Kim and Jimmy this episode was out of this world. I got the sense that maybe this scheming would lead to Howard's suicide. But when Howard told them that no matter what they did to him, he would be okay, I had this rose-colored glasses moment where I could see Howard prevailing on his own during Breaking Bad.... and then that dream was crushed the second that candle flickered and I knew exactly what Howard's fate would be. The full body chills I got in that moment is like nothing I've ever experienced before.

[@xhan1167]

Same. I can say with absolute certainty, that, after watching this episode, there are no two characters in the world of fiction I detest more than Jimmy and Kim. That kind of self-indulgent, reckless and plain wicked energy paired with an absolute lack of conscience - it makes my blood boil. Howard's death was tragic, but in a way I felt more triumphant than sad after it had happened, because Jimmy and Kim were finally confronted with the consequences of their actions.

[@swag31556]

[@Taizen001]

This one is right up there with one of the most shocking, impactful deaths in this whole Breaking Bad universe. It's such a cruel thing to end up murdered after being dragged down to his lowest point by petty scumbags. Completely unceremonious and senseless. It's fucking great television.

[@pinkmannonite6162]

I watched this episode right before I left for work and it was all I thought about all day.

[@Immallama22]

I don't think I'll ever experience a TV moment that will make my stomach sink like the end of this episode ever again. You know a show is good when it makes you feel physically ill.

[@SuzakuX]

Can't say I didn't see it coming but the moment was still shocking. The tension in the scene is so palpable, it builds so much on the last time Lalo stepped into the apartment, you just instantly feel dread when that candle flickers.

[@EditedAF987]

The fact that the storylines had been so separate also adds to the unease. Like we instinctively know that Howard and Lalo standing in the same frame together is unnatural and wrong.

[@fakecubed]

The first time the candle flickered, I assumed a window was open and Lalo had climbed in and was already in the apartment, lurking in the bedroom or something. So I was really expecting it from a long ways away, before Howard entered the scene. I don't really get why opening the door would cause the candle flicker. There shouldn't really be that much air movement unless the hallway outside the door led to the outdoors somehow and a window was open in the apartment to cause a cross-flow of air. The physics of it doesn't make sense to me, as the pressure difference should be pretty non-existent, inside to inside. But whatever, it's an interesting way to shoot the scene.

[@tunasub7727]

This episode certified Lalo as one of my favorite villains in TV. Easily the most shocking scene in all of BB and BCS for me and one of the best in TV. I just sat there for like 5 minutes speechless after it ended

[@TomJones-wx5on]

Never forget, us live watchers had to wait 6 weeks from this episode to the next one. You lucky boys. Also yes the cockroach is what made Lalo think of Jimmy, lalo had previously called Jimmy “La Cucaracha” in a previous season

[@6Rock6God6]

Jimmy wasn't naturally inclined to scamming, his world view was warped by his father constantly getting scammed, where he saw it as winning and losing, wolves vs sheeps, so he started doing the scamming because he didn't want to be weak.

[@marcobott7243]

It is strange how they seem to forget the scene that basically spells out the definition for Jimmy's character very simply--and if I remember correctly, they didn't seem to care that much about the "Wolves vs Sheep" scene back when they watched it originally, despite how important it was. I mean, it's telling that the only time we see Jimmy and Chuck's father is in that scene.

[@BhlackBishop]

It's also implied that he grew up close to or in sketchy neighborhood's since he knew all their tricks. Like all well written "villains", Saul is a product of his environment. Surrounded by criminals in his youth, raised by lenient and gullible parents, saved from jail time by his brother and avoiding the consequences of his actions. It’s the perfect recipe to create a spoiled Adult with shaky morals.

[@hinasakukimi]

@@BhlackBishop do you mean spoiled by his parents, or in general?

[@maxydey42]

Oh, stop, this BS, is exactly all what HE tells himself for his all life, and the cause of 99% of all his problems. Sure, in the turning point, after Chicago Sunroof incident, when Jimmy actually had a chance to start over and be good for himself, Chucks nihilism turnt Jimmy right back to his toxic self, essentially just a guy who learned that life isn't fare, so there's no point to take any responsibility for his own actions. Finale beautifully closing this arc as he finally stop running and trying to start over, and accepts all the consequences in pease.

[@ElArtyy_]

Yes he was, he had the opportunity to change his life around a number of times, his decisions where just his, that's the point of the last episode, he took ownership of everything and stopped blaming everyone else around him, that's why there's the conversation with chuck saying there's no shame in changing your path if you don't like where you're headed. Yes, those flashbacks are shown as a way of understanding Jimmy a bit more and being more empathetic with his situation, but like Chuck said, he's not a bad person, he just can't help himself. Also there's the fact that him and Kim got horny everytime they scammed someone, he does it because he gets that rush, I get it not understanding the consequences of your actions or getting your morale warped and question when you're a kid in the context he and Kim where, BUT THEY KNEW, what they were doing was wrong and that alone is enough to know they were doing it for fun, the difference is that Kim actually decided to stop, Jimmy didn't, because he just can't help himself.

Howard is most tragic character in BCS and this episode is like watching a a car crashing into a train, and then a plane falls on the train.

[@destructionduo1168]

THIS is Better Call Saul's Ozymandias. Well, I feel like this and Episode 12 of this season. This is Jimmy McGill's 'Ozymandias'.

[@BeholdenYeti]

Best episode of the entire show.

[@beedubree2550]

This is the only episode of TV I have ever watched where it left me literally shellshocked. I just sat there open-mouthed for like 5 minutes when I first saw it

[@dwilborn1257]

Maybe I was feeling sadistic, but I loved how they took Howard down... until he was literally taken down. Like Kim, I got caught up in it and was shocked by the end of this episode.

[@Kolateak_]

Show is nothing but absolute bangers from here on out Let's go

[@GameTavern2224]

Seeing Eric Turn on Kim and Saul (yes Saul. Not Jimmy anymore) is something of a joy to watch

[@kentonkruger8333]

I loved Breaking Bad, but this really does help make an argument for this show being better. This is the second death we've seen on this show that I'd argue was more emotionally impactful than any on Breaking Bad.

Nothing but bangers from here until the end of the show

[@MDelorean]

I was waiting for this one, didn't disappoint. It's really cool to see them figuring it out.

[@MrFabian1030]

I’ve been here for weeks waiting for this specific reaction and it’s finally here!

[@matheusbedeschii]

This was like Eric when Barry's Dad dies by Zoom in Flash, just sadness and rage

[@ev1Lsect]

I love the feeling when this show slowly reveals something to you. You dont get that, when you stop to take notes during it.

[@c7arn]

BROOO WHEN I SAW THAT MOMENT, I WAS SCREAMING

[@JonH611]

Right up there with Ozymandias 🤯

[@stewyyishim]

been waiting for this reaction for so long

[@tiredvicky4706]

We are finally here and the reaction didn't disappointed, also this episode still hits like a truck damn! I don't want this to end but the next episodes are equally amazing aaaaaahhh!!!!

[@oggyreidmore]

This stuck with me for days after I first saw it. I used to think Andrea was the worst death of the Gilliverse, but honestly we barely knew Andrea. Howard, on the other hand, we've gotten to know. We thought he was an ass at first, but he turned out to be covering for a friend. He has had to take shit from everyone, and every time he stands up for himself something tragic happens - first with Chuck, and now this. It was truly a senseless death and he deserved so much better. RIP Howard.😥🙏💔

[@davidci]

This is the episode we've all been waiting for!

[@dogpooo8397]

Been waiting on this pretty much since it aired. Game changing moment.

[@CS11]

This was our most anticipated reaction video

[@xLegendaryPete]

you guys are lucky and you dont have to wait over 6 months for ep 8 LOL

[@BootyWonka]
