So, this video blew up a few months back and it’s time for a long overdue follow up and addendums comment. I never imagined this video, which for a while was my least popular analysis, would gain so much traction. Based on the responses I’ve received it looks like most of you are happy with this format. Something which is likely clear from the number of videos I have is that I don’t make content regularly. I like to pour a lot of time into getting my production values and scripts as best as I can. But there are still plenty of videos I would like to make. Very soon a topical analysis of the game “The Last of Us: Part II” should be released on this channel. As it happens there may be a section discussion a certain plot point from “Breaking Bad” so keep your eyes out for that one. After I’ve published that video, I am planning to do an in-depth analysis of “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie”. My short review at least as of now is that it is a flawed but fitting conclusion to Jesse’s character. However, there are quiet a few people who have criticisms about the film and I’d like to address as many of the arguments that I can. I make no promises about when that video will be coming out, but it’s what I’d like to tackle next. All of this traction gave me quite the boost in passion for making content and since not many people have talked in detail about “El Camino” on KZbin, I’d love to give it a shot myself. Once again thank you everyone who watched this video and has shown support. I will do my best to get new content out soon. Now for a few addendums: Without question the topic most people discussed in the comments section was why Walt left his watch on the payphone. In the video I said there wasn’t a clear narrative reason why he left the watch on the payphone. I haven’t seen anything convincing me otherwise. But as far as thematic or character-based reasons go what most have settled on is that Walt believes he’s out of time therefore is leaving his watch since as far as he’s concerned it’s pointless now. Some said that he was leaving a paper trail for the police. I’d argue against that since for one, the watch wouldn’t prove that Walt was there if found by the police. For two, I imagine if a Tag Heuer was found on a payphone in the middle of nowhere most would think “hey a free $5,000 watch” rather than “I’d better turn this into the police”. The only point I would make is that it’s weird that of all the places and times, Walt chose to leave it at a random gas station. There isn’t much rhyme or reason to it. Regardless, it’s nothing particularly big and it served its purpose of avoiding a potential continuity error. There were several comments from people who have lived in small towns and even in small towns in New Hampshire that claimed keys being left in a car is not at all uncommon. Apparently, people do it because blizzards are commonplace and sometimes your neighbor needs to borrow your car to get out of a jam. Also considering it’s a small town most people will know each other making it even more likely that someone would be unworried about their car being stolen. I myself have never lived in a small town like the one that Walt was in. If this is the case then the first of two contrivances I list in my conclusion isn’t actually a contrivance and the episode is stronger than I originally thought. Thanks to everyone who let me know that’s more common than I imagined. “Innocent” was the wrong word to describe Gale’s character. Obviously, he’s a meth cook and a criminal who worked directly for Gus and knew exactly what he was doing. Gus even implies that Gale was shady and cut corners long before he approached him about cooking. What I meant to get across in the video was that Gale was blameless to the situation. He wasn’t the person who was threatening Walt or Jesse or had ill intentions towards them. He was more or less a cog in the machine that had to be removed if Walt and Jesse wanted to live. Therefore, they opted to kill him. So, Gale was blameless to the situation for which he was killed. But he was far from innocent. Jesse really put it perfectly: “This dog never bit anybody” but he was “a problem dog”. The El Camino is actually Todd’s car not Jack’s. Looking back, there’s only one shot in “Breaking Bad” which confirms this. Todd walks to his car after Mike confronts him about bringing a gun to the train heist. Aside from that it’s only seen in the finale and Todd doesn’t drive the car in the episode. I assumed that it was Jack’s car because it was his compound. But “El Camino” made it crystal clear that the car belonged to Todd. At the time I wrote the video I hadn’t seen “El Camino” and I missed the shot where Todd gets into the car. I said that Walt was “talking to the car” and perhaps that was reading the scene a bit too literally. Many people think he’s actually praying. If Walt is praying then I suppose we can replace car with God. The point still stands, but I still think it could be either since the car wasn’t starting at first and Walt may have been begging the car to start and get him home. Something that would have been worth mentioning is that a lot of people think the “flashback” of Jesse making the wooden box isn’t a flashback. It could be Jesse imagining making something if and when he escapes, or it could be a flashforward after he escapes. This would make sense for one because Jesse looks older. In fairness there’s only so much you can do to make Aaron Paul look like a high schooler at the age he was. For two, Jesse told the group that he traded the box for an ounce of weed. While he was happy with the results, Jesse didn’t keep his work. It makes the “flashback” interesting if you read into it that in the near future Jesse finds peace and keeps his hard-earned work in spite of everything that he’s done. This however is all conjecture. I said it was a flashback because it most likely is. But the scene is something that can be read into several different ways. So for now, I say make of the scene what you want. The song “El Paso” actually foreshadows the events in the episode. The song is about a man who falls in love with a Mexican girl named Felina. He sees her dancing in Rosa’s Cantina and sees her as “Wicked and Evil while Casting a Spell”. One night a cowboy shares a drink with Felina. In anger the man challenges his right for the love of Felina and ends up killing the cowboy. Realizing how evil what he did was, the man takes a horse and runs from Rosa’s Cantina. From El Paso the man makes it to the “Badlands of New Mexico”. Looking back the man knows that in El Paso his life would be worthless “Everything’s’ Gone; In Life Nothing is Left”. But he realizes “My Love Is Stronger Than My Fear of Death”. He then saddles up in the dark. “Maybe Tomorrow a Bullet Will Find Me” but “Tonight Nothing’s Worse Than This Pain In My Heart”. The song then concludes with the man overlooking El Paso and seeing Rosa’s Cantina below. The lyrics are very similar to the situation that Walt found himself in following “Ozymandias”. The Mexican girl Felina can be associated with both Walt’s family and his money. The two things that represent his love and legacy which he ran away from because of the evil acts he committed and fear of retribution. Walt left for a long time and his life he left behind was worthless. But his love for his family and getting back what was his is stronger than his fear of death. “Maybe Tomorrow A Bullet Will Find Me” but “Tonight Nothing’s Worse Than This Pain In My Heart”. Walt knows he’s going to die when he confronts Jack. But nothing is worse than his cancer. The song plays at the beginning of the episode after Walt steals the car and the situation described in the song essentially lays out what’s going through Walt’s head as he goes back to Albuquerque. I knew about the foreshadowing in the song and many people pointed it out. The reason I didn’t address it in the video was that I wanted to stick to the events in the episode rather than dive into too much thematic analysis. I suppose I could have talked about the song since the title card comes right after the song plays. Regardless, here’s a simple break down of the song for those who didn’t realize the song foreshadowed what came after. For those who noted it out thanks for adding to the conversation. For now that’s it. Once again I extend a huge thank you and if anybody else notes any mistakes that I made let me know and I’ll add them to this comment for future reference.

Great summary. You mention that Walter planned to die in the hail of machine gun fire. When I watched this episode at the time, I didn't get that feeling but now am not so sure after seeing your analysis and noting that the character had neatly summed up all the other threads of his life in preparation for his death.

@Seaworth Hate to say it, but you're right. Very cool scene, but really contrived. About the only thing Walt had control over in that scene was where he parked the car, and it was crazy that he was allowed to do that. If the meeting with Jack took place either upstairs or in the basement, he would've been fucked. If he would've been shot immediately, he would've been fucked. If he wouldn't have been allowed to see Jesse, the plan would've been fucked. I just have to wonder if Walt cared if his plan worked or not. He was going to die anyway, so if his plan worked, great! If not, then oh well, right?

I disagree with the top 3 replies and agree with the op. Walter was a genius and he knew that Jack and his gang hated rats and would never work with them.

It's more likely that Walt assumed jack had followed through with killing Jesse until he found out about the meth still being made and sold and THEN decided to kill Jesse. The leaving behind the watch thing was just an act of severing personal ties, and Walt knew he was going to die anyway so he didn't need it.

i know some people don't like the "Baby Blue" scene and would've preferred it with some sad music or something, but the song actually fits so well in my opinion. the song sounds cheerful, but somehow takes on a sad, mournful tone just because of its association in the scene. along with the double meaning of "my baby blue" referring to Walter's blue meth, it's such a perfect song for the scene

These are all the ones I picked up before watching the video 1. When Walt is looking around the meth lab, he doesnt mess with any knobs or buttons, jesse has made a perfect batch. Not only did he succeed as a chemist, but he also succeeded as a teacher 2. The title, "felina" is a reference to a song called el Paso. The character in that song fell in love with a girl called felina, got shot by his own bullet, then dies in her arms. Walt fell in love with making meth, got shot by his own bullet, and died in a meth lab. 3. Speaking of el paso, it's the song walt heard in his car earlier in the episode, and he's also humming it while he assembles the car gun 4. The series began and ended with cops and sirens coming for walt, from the opening and closing scenes 5. The title felina is also an anagram for finale 6. The title felina is also a combination of the formula Fe Li Na. Iron, lithium, sodium. Blood, meth, and tears 7. When walt looked at a big tank in the lab, his face was distorted to look like he was bald with a goatee 8. His blood smear was a w 9. The light above him makes a crosshair on his left lung, that's where he got his cancer diagnosis 10. In an earlier episode, Walter has a lot of his money stolen then he goes into this hysterical laughing/crying/screaming fit. It acts as the spiritual death of Walter white because he is a completely changed individual after that. When we last see jesse in the show, he is driving away having a very similar fit, and he is a completely changed person in el camino. I think that acted as the spiritual death of jesse pinkman 11. Speaking of the cars, the Cadillac has the license plate number "jg8-516" a reference to season 5 episode 16. The last episode of the show 12. The way hank died was the way jack(hank's killer) died. Halfway through a sentence with a shot to the head 13. The song playing when walt died was baby blue by badfinger. The lyrics are very reminiscent of walter white's love affair with his blue meth 14. The clothes walt is wearing is the same outfit he was wearing in the pilot episode

it was apparently thanks to Kevin Cordasco (the kid that got credited at the end of Blood Money) that Gretchen and Elliot returned for a final time. he suggested the idea to Vince Gilligan. the kid died of cancer before the final half of the season got released. before that, he got to spend time with Bryan Cranston and other members of the cast and crew (he was even invited to the writers room). he apparently got invited to be on set for a small role but he couldn't make it, as his condition had worsened by then. Breaking Bad was his favourite show, and he used to watch it with his friends a lot. after he passed away, they still came round his house to watch the final season, because his parents considered he would've wanted that.

That one line always sends shivers down my spine “It all can’t be for nothing”. The entire show has been based around the goal of getting his family money so when he dies, they will have enough to live without his income. But what would happen if his family never wants it after they realize what he has done to get it. Everything Walter has done would have been a waste and he will die knowing he destroyed his family and never giving them the money he worked to get. It’s just a very mind bending idea for me.

I hate to say it but it's almost an 'Idiot Plot' trope, where a single conversation could have resolved everything: "Hey honey, I'm thinking about cooking meth to support the family because I'm dying of cancer". "Okay Walt, here's all the ways that's a terrible idea that will destroy the lives of everyone you love..." (Roll credits) Possibly this caused some subconscious tension with viewers about Skylar's role early on, which got misdirected into misogyny and claims she was just a nag.

I'm pretty sure you can envision how the scenario would continue here. Assuming she doesn't gossip, it would still be really awkward, and at this point he already made up his mind, so this talk wouldn't even help him.

At the end, Walt's not afraid of death. There's a theme of justice in the air. All he had left was to punish the wrongdoers, and after he did that, he stepped into the lab to die. He was proud of Jesse, and he realized that Jesse pulling off the cooks was one of his biggest accomplishments. He taught chemistry to a hopeless student. He bleeds out in that place, happy at the fact that Jesse figured it out in the end. His purpose is complete, and so he dies, accepting of his situation.

Also, I feel like in a way, Walt will be remembered as THE blue meth cook- even before he comes for them, people still think it's Walt cooking the meth, not Jesse. He dies in the lab where it is made, and when they find him, they will find him where the meth is being made. It will end production with his death, and solidify his legacy-- although a much darker legacy. It likely wasn't his intention in the end, just being relieved he did what needed to be done and being in the place he felt alive, like you said- but I do like to think that generations will pass with the blue meth being linked almost solely, production-wise, to Heisenburg /Walt. Also, it keeps Jesse from being tracked down in a way, since the police will put the production on Walt instead of Jesse. Hopefully.

To me the laughing and scream is similar to Walt's in the crawl space episode. Both were brought on by extreme distress, and I like that it happens in reverse. Fearful of what will happen to himself and his family, Walt lets out a primal scream before laughing uncontrollably. Jesse, who had already went through months of horrific torture, laughs cathartically as he finally escapes before screaming. Jesse did escape but he's permanently changed as well as those close to him. Andrea is dead and Brock is orphaned and there's no undoing that for obvious reasons. This is one of many reasons why I love the storytelling in this show. Certain events parallel each other while simultaneously contrasting each other.

22:24 This pressure gauge tapping scene is actually pretty heavy. First, the name "Weiss" means "White" in German, and you can guess what that means. Second, Back in season 3 when Gale was working with Walt, he made the mistake of setting the temperature to 75* instead of 85*. Gale was a person that Walt taught, and apparently he failed to do that. Over a year later, Walt has taught Jesse how to make meth over the time they spent together, and in that final scene, Jesse had the pressure at 85, just how he intended to teach. Third, this ties up that Walt taught like the teacher he once was, which ig is the only trait he retained from the first episode.

The shape of the fruit is very complex. First of all, the word "flower" means "white" in German, so you can tell what that means. Then, in Season 3, when I used the Gail Stack, I adjusted the temperature to 85 * to 75 *. Samandar spoke to him but he could not. A year later, Jesse Walt studied mathematics and worked hard until the end of his education at the age of 85. The third part is only the first, although it has to do with some of the things you have learned.

when jesse asks walt why he wants to cook meth, walt replies that he’s awake, he doesn’t mention this reason again until the last episode of the series with his conversation with skyler, this says a lot about walt’s ego as every time he’s asked why he’s doing the things that he’s doing, he always replies that it’s for the sake of his family, but in the end, it was ultimately all for himself, from abandoning his love for gretchen due to his failure to overcome his prideful insecurities, selling his $5,000 share from a company that would be worth billions, working as a high school teacher despite being an accomplished chemist, living in a crappy house paycheck to paycheck, to being diagnosed with cancer, walt is what you would expect someone to be if one were to be placed in that situation, however unlike most people who would have kept living this mundane existence, walt chose the opposite option, to live life on his own terms, it wasn’t until that he made that decision, that he was living life, and when he finally did, he was awake i’m not religious, but i do feel that it’s worth mentioning about pride, and how it’s considered to be the gravest sin in abrahamic religions, especially christianity, it’s only fitting that the most destructive person in the series, walt, to have the biggest ego out of all the characters, walt might not be a psycho like tuco, or coldly calculating as gus, but instead, he’s so egotistical to the point that he lies to everyone and even himself, he acted on his ego and everything that came to be, was of his design, it had to be, even at the end, walt knew jesse wouldn’t shoot him despite all the pain that he caused him, because walt knew that jesse would decide not to act on walt’s orders anymore, even at the end, walt got his way, he had to i found lydia’s death, or her would be death, to be extremely satisfying, it reminded me of hamlet, how the english ambassador comes after the climax to deliver the news of the deaths of rosencrantz and guildenstern, like the cherry on top, overall, i enjoyed the series, i can’t believe something this good once premiered on tv, the things you learn everyday

I had watched seasons 1-4 years ago and recently went back and watched from the beginning and managed to avoid most spoilers. And I have to say that the scene where he admits to Skyler that he did it for himself is where I felt that Walt got as close to redemption as he could get. He finally gave her her closure and his saying goodbye to Holly was his last little look at what could have been for him and Skyler. Him saving Jesse on a whim was the other way that he somewhat redeems himself. It’s an outstanding piece of storytelling that they manage to somehow bring him redemption after all that he’s done. He’s not totally redeemed but it’s easier to accept him as an extremely flawed anti-hero

It’s kind of poetic, because in the show overall, Walt is the one who caused his own downfall. It was his decisions, his obsession and greed, that destroyed his family and caused his downfall. He had obstacles along the way, enemies who backed him into corners, but it was always him who kept digging himself deeper even when he didn’t have to. Walt was his own worst enemy, so his cause of death was a fitting end to his story.

I wish I felt the same way, but it bothers me to no end how we barely see Skyler, Junior or Marie after they experience the most traumatic day of their lives. The last thing we see is them reacting to the confirmation of Hank’s death (which they believe was at the hands of their husband/father/brother-in-law, mind you). We don’t see them again (with the exception of a couple quick scenes of Skyler) until several months later. We completely skip over the immediate aftermath of this trauma, where there would have been the most raw emotion. After spending five seasons with these characters, it ends up feeling really bizarre that the narrative essentially abandons them at such a significant event in their lives. I’m mostly fine with Skyler’s conclusion (though I still wish there’d been a bit more of her), but all we get from Junior is “no dad I hate you now” and with Marie we literally jumped straight from her learning of Hank’s death to her having come to terms with it. And then there’s Jesse, who gets basically no conclusion to his five-season-long struggle with his on-and-off addiction, his trauma, and his sense of morality. I didn’t need that to all be wrapped up in a neat little bow or anything; I’m not against leaving his story open-ended to an extent. But aside from his closure with Walt, for all we know he could still be an addict, and he’s obviously still traumatized and guilt-ridden with no real way to cope with it (other than _drugs,_ of course). Him seeing his ex-girlfriend get gunned down doesn’t even amount to much payoff in the end, save for making it a bit more satisfying when he kills Todd (which he already had plenty of motivation for to begin with). It’s treated as triumphant for Jesse- and it is, to an extent, but there ultimately doesn’t seem to be much for a direction for him to go in now. And I think the showrunners even recognized that to a certain extent, seeing as they made El Camino six years later.

Jesse surviving was the finishing touch for him, it's almost like he knew Jesse would leave the country and find some kind of happiness. And with that, Walt is content. He won

One thing you missed: when Jack is begging for his life, the money he’s referring to is heavily implied to be money that Walt made selling Crystal meth. There’s a line in the very first episode hinting that Walt was planning to cook meth in order to make money for his family. The implication here is that Walt was actually running a successful meth empire for the duration of the whole show and the “money” is his total earnings.

A little thing nobody notices is that the key that falls out of the sun visor is on a Narcotics Anonymous key tag (they give out key tags for various lengths of sobriety, similar to AAs “chips”). It’s the white one, which is given out for “24 hours or less, or just the desire”. This could maybe signify that Walt has less then 24 hours to accomplish his final goals, and a reminder of the many lives ruined by the drug that Walt mass produced

I haven't seen anyone point this out yet and I don't recall it in the video "Felina" the name of the episode is also the name of the girl in the Marty Robbins song "El Paso" that was on the radio and Walt was singing while building the M60 device in his trunk. The song is about running from the law and it finally catching up to Marty Robbins wich I think ties in nicely with Braking Bad

The song is actually about committing a crime out of love, fleeing the town of El Paso, only to return because the pull of that love is too strong to stay away, and dying in the arms of that love. Though I’m fairly certain the cowboy in “El Paso” is hallucinating Felina’s arrival to kiss him once more before death.

Him leaving the watch could be implying that he's not on the clock anymore. The entire show was him always on the run and racing with time, always looking at his watch. This episode is him not needing that because he's just tying up loose end and finishing everything. He's just walking the entire episode, no rush, even when he's about to die. He has truly accepts what he became and the fact that what he did was all for nothing, he did all this for himself as he said that to Skyler.

Ill always say that breaking bad is one of the only shows that has a really fulfilling ending that doesnt feel weak or over done. Its not a happy or sad ending (except for jessie). I always wanted to see the after story with jesse, and am happy they made it, but even when it seemed it was over at this point, nobody ever really said they needed to make more. It was perfect. Jesses movie was like a cherry on top over a perfectly done story for walt and jesse

2:40 This was my take on it as I was watching the Felina. Walt knew he was going to die. He treasured that watch so much that he'd rather it fall into the hands of a random stranger than the cops or Nazis. And there's something else. If you do a youtube search of the words "famous gangster wristwatch" you'll find that the watches of well known crooks are collectibles. Walt didn't want that to happen to his timepiece. He cooked blue meth and the face of his watch was blue.

"Live Free Or Die" on the lisence plate foreshadows Walt's death before he is arrested, since he died before his freedom was taken away. Also the slogan aligns with Walt's perspective of life, where having a meth business made him feel "alive". It didn't matter if he were to die at the hands of this meth business, as long as it made him feel alive.
