Better Call Saul REACTION 2x1 "Switch" Breakdown + Review // Kailyn + Eric React

[@soynutreja]

It's a metaphor for Jimmy, because he sees something that has a sign saying "Don't push, leave on" and he has to break the rules... He can't help him self. He sees a rule and he must break it. It's who he is.

[@MrPanMichaels]

Exactly

[@soliopy]

Chuck's words hurt him so much in S1 because up to that point Jimmy honestly believed he could change. We later see the moment he decided to join the law and he had genuinely pure intentions because he loved and admired Chuck. So Chuck's betrayal and stinging words shattered that motivation and began Jimmy's spiral into rebellion against the world.

[@lorddoobsworth144]

HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!!!

[@Tone_Loc303]

Another neat little Easter Egg is on of the cops that showed up to see Pryce after he was ripped off by Nacho is the same cop that showed up to Walts house when Skyler called the cops about a "domestic issue "

[@drewmcwhortor4804]

His real name is Daniel Wormald, and he's actually the "Danny" that Saul refers to a couple times throughout BB. He runs the laser tag.

[@Cangallo2027]

3:29 I agree. Hyping is a form of spoiling. And not just regarding favorite characters. I think dropping titles of favorite episodes is even worse.

[@DenseEpiphany]

This annoys me so much. So many people in the comments still don't understand what spoilers really are. Don't they have the capacity to understand that their comments have many implications and that the reactors can put 1 and 1 together

Beautiful metaphore. Love how well you guys seem to grasp the things that are going on.

[@newspooiechannel]

The switch at the end of the episode symbolizes the contrast for how Jimmy was when the series began to where he finds himself now in the present. At the beginning of the episode, he saw a sign indicating that the police would be notified if he opened the door, while the sign at the end of the episode warned him to never turn off the switch. Both instances foretell a bad consequence for his actions if he proceeds. The difference is that younger Jimmy is reckless and doesn't care about any consequences for his actions and will push buttons and break the rules just to see what happens, while modern Jimmy is terrified of doing anything out of the ordinary or bringing any attention to himself. It emphasizes how he was then to how he is now.

[@xMondhirsch]

Damn I haven't even thought about the button at the beginning anymore. You are a genius!

Charlize Theron has been acting nearly 30yrs. She was in the "Devil's Advocate" with Al Pacino & Keanu Reeves in 1997. Also in movies like "Italian Job" in 2003, and won an Oscar for Best Actress for the movie "Monster" in 2004

[@Josh86_559]

22:00 that officer right there was in Breaking Bad. He showed up at the White's residents when Skykar called the cops on Walter for breaking into his own house lol

[@basstian]

Great episode. I think Jimmy enjoyed scams because he got some sort of 'retaliation' on people whom he felt deserved them for underestimating him; Kim, who always respected him and saw how clever he was, may have enjoyed the way he played Ken as that way she saw him (Jimmy) truly happy and invested, which is why she also got involved and enjoyed who *she* was with him. That's the way I see it, anyway.

[@thelastdisplay]

This season is just excellent throughout. Seasons 2, 3 and 6 are my favorites.

[@christpower5402]

Charlize Theron ethnic background: The Second Boer War military leader Danie Theron was her great-granduncle. She is from an Afrikaner family, and her ancestry includes Dutch as well as French and German. Her French forebears were early Huguenots in South Africa. She grew up on her parents' farm in Benoni, near Johannesburg.

[@stadthaus.7266]

no, don´t stop, the the-office references are awesome!

[@silent-trouble]

I always thought at this point the switch meant that he thinks he maybe does not have to decide whether to be Jimmy or Saul. But that he could be both and switch between them. Trying to combine both worlds. Which ultimately wouldnt work though.

[@VaeluX]

I really hope someone over on Patreon told them about the squat cobbler video.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

oooooooooooohhh just wait 😂

[@stevencleere4912]

flipping the switch demonstrates that jimmy will never be comfortable being a rule follower

[@briankirchhoefer]

I had a cocobolo pool cue. A very beautiful central american hard wood thats similar to walnut.

[@rotcehb]

IMO, I think this is one of the most important episodes of the entire show. The writters pretty much grabbed you by the shoulders and screamed right to your face the entirety of the show but it's impossible to see because, at this point, we lack context. Rewatching this episode it's incredible satisfying

[@RobinRice1]

I think those two cops also had an appearance in Breaking Bad.

[@Head-ck4hu]

FYI. There are no Cinnabons in Omaha. Closest are in Bellevue, Gretna and York. And Ken, the stockbroker does run into Walt.

[@TheRepublican777]

Interesting, what about in the early 2000s or in the 90s did they use to have them? Because not only was the show made after Breaking bad which was made in the early 2000s but this show is supposed to be way before breaking bad so the years would have been set years earlier so have there ever been a Cinnabuns place?

[@themolecularman9312]

wow you guys actually recognized "Ken wins". most reactors don't even realize he was on Breaking Bad even after it's pointed out to them 😄

[@Mariokemon]

I recognize him from brooklyn 99, so seeing him again, I instantly remembered him from bb

[@JoseGarcia-qb3tz]

If you do something you're not supposed to, and nothing happens, I'd bet you will do it again. Jimmy can't help himself.

[@IgnisKhan]

Jimmy tried to lure Kim into his way of life, but only succeeded for one night. He wants Kim in his life more than he wants his scams -- so when she went back to being a responsible lawyer, so did he. The real question is: Was he right in that conversation in the bar, explaining why a place like Davis and Maine wasn't a good fit for him? Only time will tell ... but his interaction with that switch in his new office gives us a good hint of how things might go.

[@Socragames]

25:35 I never realized it before but the art being someone that seems to slip and fall is kinda appropriate.

[@antoniomaruge8218]

The switch is a metaphor for jimmy,m and the way he is. He just can’t help himself. Just like Chuck said. We all have relatives that we love, but we all know they will always act a certain way.

[@sean-ew2qv]

Cumstein is a nod to a Chevy Chase joke from Caddyshack.

[@cecillegravelle2590]

At the begining of the episode Gene does not open the door in the garbage room as per the sign warning, at the end of the episode Jimmy canhelp himself to disobey the sing on the swithch. He's just like a little kid. I get why Chuck has certain feelings towards him.

[@autocosm]

Can you imagine if they actually made a commercial for Davis & Main?

[@jlilley73]

Great episode. I feel like up to this point Jimmy was a lawyer just to get Chuck's approval ... and now that that's over, he's switched to being a lawyer just to get *Kim's* approval. And the switch was certainly a metaphor, but I think it's a metaphor about Jimmy being unable to resist "breaking the rules."

[@PaolaGabbiMadrid]

FYI, the scene when the hummingbird briefly flew by the camera was NOT planned…it was just a happy circumstance! 😃

[@Pernicion]

I think the reason Jimmy goes back for the job at Davis and Main, is the same reason he became a lawyer in the first place - Kim. He's obsessed with her, and he realizes that no matter what they get up to, she will always have this other life that he doesn't get to share. He wants to be part of every aspect of her life.

[@biglu323]

@ 30:30 The black and white present day Saul scenes aren't random , it's going to become more apparent that they're an actual storyline that can be followed the more you run into them.

[@4yaears]

Did you recognise “Ken Wins” from Breaking Bad?

[@elbruces]

Yeah, I think they did.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

we did!

[@josephsarto689]

“He’s gonna get shot” No, he’s not. Didn’t you remember mikes speech fro pimento? “This deal he’s doing, he’s doing outside his crew. He doesn’t want his bosses to know. So it’s in his best interest thst things go very smoothly”

[@drewmcwhortor4804]

I interpret things a little differently with Jimmy and Kim in this episode. It starts by him asking her about the Davis and Mane job, and whether or not that will effect their relationship. She says no, so he leaves. Then he tries showing her his Slippin Jimmy side, and she liked it. For a night. But when she doesn't show up the second night, he realizes despite what she said at the beginning, she can't be with Slippin' Jimmy in a serious relationship. So he sucks it up and takes the job to fit the mold he thinks he needs to keep her around.

[@twite5462]

Ken doesn’t win

[@ferminchiloteguy9784]

Im glad that both of you enjoy the pacing, i love it to, you will see how amazing the character development is, maybe even better than BB.

[@Josh86_559]

I would be panicking, too, if that nerd really did have a Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card. That card is nearly priceless. It's the most valuable sports card in history. One just sold for 32.5 million.... Not Kidding

[@Josh86_559]

Idk why he's selling pills. If he sold that 1 card, he would be set for life.

[@BillyBong]

Nah, Jimmy called Davis cause Kim was ignoring him and not being accepting of his slipping ways as a way of life

[@eddied.3426]

Nothing wrong with voicing an opinion. It should not spoil anything if no information is given out. I don't like hank at all. But you still have your opinion regardless and should enjoy it all the same.

[@nadeeml9276]

"My brain is trained for lazier writing" wow, honestly 100% with you on that one, very well said. The writing, plotting...etc, is so good, this is why i say that this show is as good as, or even possibly better than Breaking Bad (though we all agree that the subject matter, tone, characters are different., there's a lot more comedy...etc). This show doesn't meander, and doesn't have pointless conflict, everything has meaning and purpose. Excellent discussion at the end. Plot should honestly always be integrated with character revelation/development

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

thanks so much!!

[@anthonyzarate9807]

Trust me Kim has been a partner with Jimmy on many occasions in the past in their scams

[@the_eaglefan]

Wondered if you would recognize Ken Wins.

[@Josh86_559]

Yeah, Ken definitely didn't win that time. That probably cost 70 to 100 bucks a shot for that alcohol

[@mathmexican4234]

I suppose it is a bit of a spoiler to say a current small character is your favorite, when it implies they do more in the show. But it still doesn't say what all he does. He could be a cool villain or a morally grey character, or he could do something cool. You don't really know why people like him.

[@stadthaus.7266]

I just saw your reaction to Kenobi the other day It was kinda weirrd to be honest Because I recognize you are actually starwars fans But you overall liked the show. Had a very different experience, when I saw it. Eric was kinda critical sometimes, but all in all it felt weirrd, that you don´t have lot´s of stuff to complain about. Writting, Plot holes, stupid characterisation and on and on.. I hope you don´t agree to every bs put in front of you. That´s kinda boring. Didn´t notice this tendency before, because BCS is pretty much a perfect show, so there isn´t much to complain about. Also Kim is my favorite too, and I guess pretty much everyone loves her. The actor ís doing so good it´s just great!

[@christpower5402]

To answer your question. Yes, the Hummer as we knew it was discontinued in 2010 but then it returned as an ev. and as a few other variations. The Hummer EV is a radical departure from the gas-guzzling Hummer brand that was discontinued in 2010. The all-electric vehicle is a reimagining of one of the most iconic American off-roaders of the past century. The Hummer EV SUV has a starting price of $96,550 and can produce up to 11,500 lb-ft of torque. The Hummer EV pickup has a starting price of $96,550 and can produce up to 1,000 horsepower.
