Breaking Bad | S3 E1 'No Mas' | Reaction | Review

[@oldcat7]

From what I've read, the explosion at the end was much bigger than the crew anticipated but the brothers did not flinch and continued to keep walking like badasses lol.

[@Fbitypeshit]

oh it was a real one? thought that was cgi

[@DIEGOSHAY]

You can see debris fall in front of them. It's pretty wild.

[@Fbitypeshit]

Diego Shay yeah and pretty dangerous, they could have been burned since they didn’t had the explosion under hands and it was bigger than they thought it would be, i would actually be pretty pissed about it if i was the actor playing there

[@danieldickerson7143]

the guys are actual hitmen who turned their lives around, theres an interview on it. Bryan directed the episode and asked one of the brothers to take a drag off of his cigarette after the explosion because he knew they wouldn't flinch

[@vanhattfield8292]

@@Fbitypeshit That's why you will never be an actor in something like this. It takes exceptional people.

[@jmwild1]

Bryan Cranston directed this one. Got to introduce us to the badass twins, and also got to direct himself giving the most awkward speech ever. His daughter was one of the students in that scene.

[@uoabigaillevey]

Gotta have a slow opener after that season finale in season 2. Gotta set up the chessboard for the new season. This show is the pinnacle of setting up the situations and consequences for later episodes. Too many shows out nowadays seem to ignore past actions or occasionally pull a few small details from prior episodes. This show makes an artform of it. Peace

[@zzzkoszzz]

The opening is a ceremonial procession to a shrine for Santa Muerte "Our Lady of Holy Death" Very old..pre-dates the Spanish conquests.

[@kevinjohnanand]

This is the season where things really get going. Seasons 3 and 4 are my personal favorites!

[@kevinjohnanand]

@Jackson Samuel I love seasons 3 and 4 most because my favorite character is prominent in them. Not gonna say which because it's a bit of a spoiler.

[@melissavukelic4138]

I figured that the crawling scene in the beginning of the episode was some kind of religious ritual, but I had to look it up to find out more. This is what I found out: “They are visiting a shrine of Santa Muerte (Saint Death). In Mexico, she is a popular folk saint/deity who is the patron saint of (among other things) drug dealers and smugglers, and is often invoked to protect against violent death. Traditionally, a worshiper would crawl on his knees on his way to visit the shrine.”

[@DuoReacts]

Melissa Vukelic Is this an actual real thing? Steve

[@josh420masterB]

@@DuoReacts It is. When the Spanish colonized Mexico, they brought Catholicism with them. But the native Mesoamericans carried over aspects of their former religions and incorporated them into their practicing of Christianity, including a noted respect and reverence for death. In the Aztec religion, Death was personified as a goddess named Mictecacihuatl (forget trying to pronounce it), and it's believed she was the source of inspiration for Santa Muerte. Partially as a result of her inclusion in this series, it has been assumed by many that she is, first and foremost, a patron saint of the cartel and other unsavory types. It makes sense given her grim aesthetic, but her cult is really a lot less nefarious than that. Worship of her is primarily associated with healing, protection and safe delivery to the afterlife. As you can see from her shrine, people leave small offerings, usually a possession that belonged to a loved one who has recently died. The offering is meant as a payment to Santa Muerte to guide the recently deceased safely to Heaven. The practice is not dissimilar from the ancient Greek practice of placing coins over a deceased person's eyes so that they can pay the ferryman to carry them over the river Styx.

[@melissavukelic4138]

@@DuoReacts Yes, I believe so. The writers really did their research!

You need shirts that say "That's what I'm thinkin"

[@sunnychew1638]

Do you know that truck exploding scene? When 2 of the actors walking so slowly, that was a real take it nearly burn those 2 actors. Really good acting they don't even blink when the truck exploded

[@elroysez8333]

Burning the blood money was Walt's guilt over the deaths he has caused directly and otherwise. Putting the fire out was Heisenberg stomping out those guilty embers.

[@Fbitypeshit]

but that's not his fault tho

[@jesuschrist5417]

Putting the fire out was Walter White realizing he'd be a dumbass to burn all that money. lol

[@jesuschrist5417]

I dislike when people make a distinction between Walter White and Heisenberg.

[@drakedunn638]

Jesus Christ they are practically different people

[@jesuschrist5417]

@@drakedunn638 It's not like when he first said Heisenberg to Tuco that he was channeling some demonic entity from another dimension. He just made up this criminal name on the spot. He's got a good poker face and a big ego. He doesn't always get the chance to gratify it in his real life. I feel like Walter White maintaining integrity adds to the story by making it about a man who goes from good to evil, rather than a man with an evil side that was always within him. As soon as Walter decided to make meth he slowly became more and more desensitized to the things he had to do.

[@canahid1]

I think Lacey and I are on the same page. I didn't watch BB when it aired. My sister suggested the show to me and described it as "a rather downtrodden high school science teacher is diagnosed with lung cancer and begins making meth with a former student to make the money for his treatments and to provide for his family. The situations continually escalate and the show does an excellent job of making you understand the characters' reasons for their actions. You are constantly wondering, "How are they going to get out of this?"" I resisted watching it for a while because meth and the meth life is horrible. I wanted to avoid a show that might glorify it. Eventually I watched. BB is an excellent show and deserves all the praise it has received (and more awards than it has received) for writing and acting. However, my brain will not accept it as my favorite show of all time, as it is considered by many others. I have figured out why. Although the CHARACTERS are wonderfully drawn and complex and serve the story, I do not like a single one of them. That is, there is no one I would like to have in my real life. Contrast that with TWD in which there are many characters with which I could have personal relationships. --My two cents only. We all have our own opinions.

[@spyderkb9894]

This is where the rollercoaster of BB reaches the peak and starts thundering down for the next 3 seasons. Here is where the REAL ride begins. Strap in, kiddos! 👍😎

[@sinnizster5038]

Love the BB reacts guys!! Like hearing ur inside takes and break downs.. Walt is a complicated SOB haha

[@robertcorbett9455]

This show has often been described as a slow burn. It slows down for a while here and there, so when it gets hectic and crazy it's more effective.

[@VividAbominations]

The burning money bit was a sign that Walter and Heisenberg are at war for control of his body. This double life is only going to be harder to pull off as the show proceeds. If you aren't convinced of Bryan Cranston's acting ability yet, he's off the charts in the next 3 seasons.

[@robint9803]

You're goddam right...

[@elbruces]

The way he says "I am not a criminal" to Gus is Walt trying to deny his Heisenberg side.

[@spyderkb9894]

Steve. Just noticed your shirt. Have you 2 seen the miniseries “John Adams”? It is definitely reaction worthy, but I don’t think any reactors have tackled it yet. It follows the American Revolution from its very beginning. An excellent show!

[@DuoReacts]

Spyder K B That sounds like something I would definitely like! I will check into this mini series. Steve

[@natskivna]

@@DuoReacts HIGHLY recommend John Adams.

[@TheJazzper1970]

Walt's speech in the gymnasium to the school students is one of my favourite scenes in the entire show. You can tell Walt had been dwelling on the plane crash a lot during the preceding days.

[@AgentMcQueen]

Now we're starting to get going!

[@EdwardNygma007]

Everything they show or do on the show no matter the pace is important n sets up future stuff.

[@ciaranconlon84]

When they blew up the truck, the explosion was bigger than the crew intended but the actors playing the twins still stayed in character.

[@BensonBoy2019]

I love how Jesse says he is the bad guy. but he isn't. he has a good heart. Then later on Walt says hes not a bad guy. but he actually is a terrible person. I know that was intentional writing. i just like how it was done.

[@milosstud3289]

Steve just made me spit out my tea with "Not the best picture."

[@orangewarm1]

thanks. i had no idea Louisiana had voodoo shit. Learn something new everyday.

[@spyderkb9894]

@Lee Lorenz really? No disrespect, but even James Bond (Live and Let Die) touches on Louisiana’s deep connection to voo-doo. Not to mention the home base of Anne Rice’s Vampire novels is Louisiana, due to it’s Creole connection to voo-doo and Santeria. Whenever I think of Louisiana, I think of jazz, jazz funeral parades, blackened seafood dishes, voo-doo, hurricanes, and whiskey. In that order. You?

[@cineclassics2277]

Was hoping to see yall react to Episode 2 on Friday, but haven't seen the upload yet. I'm sure y'all are just busy but we are ready for it!

[@gravitypronepart2201]

Hey guys, here's something you may find interesting. You know that prominent peak you see in this episode where the shrine is? Well that is Cabezon peak. My brother and I once climbed that. He's crazy and I'm stupid!! But it's funny that it's not far, about 30 miles from the erea I was discussing in my post on your TWD reaction. You asked to describe a shelter or place we would prefer. That was mine. About 30 miles north of there.

[@baburao87]

17:56 For a moment I thought why are they shaking their left hands.😄

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Steve, I got what you were saying. When you connected with Janes dad. You even stated it! Its nothing to do with Jesse. I suspect these people must have seen the whole show. And have a connection with Jesses character. Going back and seeing this incident, they feel Jesse pain. But as of yet, the show hasnt really shown Jesses reaction fully. Just a glimpse. They need to realize they are pulling from different info than you have. Hope that made sense. I didnt see your reaction the way they did. Lacey, Im with you! Lol I love this show. But I no longer had any empathy for Walt, because of what Heisenberg did to Jane...and Jesse...and her dad. Up until that point, I could see what Walt did. And WHY he did it. Could even see his justification for his actions. There isnt a single thing i would not do for my family. But no way I would kill, unless it were a direct and imminent threat, to my loved ones. That was a road too far for me. Love watching him in the show. But yeah! I dont like Heisenberg!

[@CrazyJoeDavola66]

Every single channel that has reviewed Breaking Bad - I mean EVERY single one - has wondered why the coyote (i.e., the driver of the van/truck) doesn't just play dead. I don't think many people have a great idea of what it's like to be shot and how rational thought doesn't really play a big part in the process. And for that we can be grateful. Enjoying your reactions!

[@sandercohen3309]

Crawling away from danger is probably just an instinct. Don't think it's a conscious decision at all.

[@CrazyJoeDavola66]

@@sandercohen3309 Exactly. Especially if that bullet has torn through a kidney/lung or shattered a lumbar vertebra.

[@ZenShroud1]

Once you see the fake long arms on Walt in his poolside money-burning stint, it's hard to un-see them lol. I also feel like, with Hank being a DEA agent and probably having handled large quantities of cash(from busts), he would have immediately realized that the black bag was in fact full of cash. It seems Walt really milquetoasted his way into Hank's mind over the years.

Craig Kostelecky yeah I watched his video he only explains for music videos though I wanna know how to get the tv show on there

[@cheefgod4739]

Craig Kostelecky the only thing he said though was what program to use he didn’t tell how to get the video like if I wanted to get an episode of The Walking Dead to do a reaction to how would I download the episode to edit into my video in the first place is what I’m asking

[@DuoReacts]

Hey cheef I will let Lacey know you asked how to do these videos but yes Craig is right Lacey just really learned on her own but she can definitely help you out. Do me a favor and send Lacey an email so she can reach out to you. I will take a picture of your question so it doesn’t get lost in translation when things get busy around here lol. I have done editing just a little bit and it can be tedious. I do know this much you have to have the video of you watching the show, then you have to line up the sound with the movie or show. The key is if you don’t line it up correctly the video is then crap pretty much. Trust me the editing takes time, then you have to compress the video down keep in mind you can only use ten minutes of the entire video or you can get in trouble. There is little things also that can be strikes against you as well so please get with Lacey as she is a lot better and doesn’t mind helping someone out. Steve

[@danieldickerson7143]

When Walter gives his speech in the school gym, I think rather than speak encouraging words to everyone he is trying to justify that its not as bad as it could have been for himself. I think he feels partly responsible for it happening, seeing as how he let Jane die and her father, emotionally wrecked, caused two planes to collide.

[@josh420masterB]

"That night, I had a dream. I drifted off thinking about happiness, birth and new life. But now I was haunted by a vision of doom. They were horrible. The Twins of the Apocalypse. Two men with all the powers of Hell at their command. They could turn the day into night and lay waste to everything in their path. They were especially hard on little things, the helpless and gentle creatures. They left a scorched earth in their wake, befouling even the sweet desert breeze that whipped across their brows. I didn't know where they came from, or why. I didn't know if they were dream or vision. But I feared that I myself had unleashed them..." - an extract from Raising Arizona, adapted to Walt's perspective
