I think as for Hank "not getting out of there," part of it was that he knew that if people really were trying to kill him, it's not like driving away or going home was going to be a better situation. If they were coming for him, they were going to get to him, either now or later. And I think he decided to stay calm and pay attention to what was happening instead of freaking out and possibly having them find his home/wife.

[@ghenry4513]

Yeah, that's true. They would have got him on his way out of the parking lot. Best he could have done was speed through them and hope not to get hit. And also, he was aware that if he is backing out of the parking space, that would be a vulnerable position, too, since he didn't know where they were coming from. If they were in a car, they could have boxed him in. He really had nowhere ideal to go.

[@hunterlee3353]

I really doubt he thought all that out consciously. I think he just froze up

[@ahmedharris7148]

I thought that was the official explanation. Recall watching the actor explaining it I think

[@Goomyx1492]

@@hunterlee3353 He had a whole minute. That's enough time to think it through. It took me like 15 seconds and I'm certainly not a trained DEA agent, who would have a lot more sense about these kinds of things than I would. At the very least, I would think he would know to watch his surroundings before making any decisions.

OK but you could get out of there and alert the authorities and have people watching you/your family and far more backup if you're gonna take someone out. Getting out of there at that time was probably the better option

This show is a masterclass in both writing & direction.

[@briangonigal3974]

Hank may have froze in the parking lot, but in the end he managed to come through and take out the Twins. This is actually a pattern with Hank: He's unprepared when he finds himself face to face with Tuco and lets Tuco get the drop on him with a frickin' assault rifle, but then he gets himself behind cover and when the opportunity presents itself, he takes him out like a pro. He freaks out & runs off at the sight of the turtle-delivered cranium (thus saving his own life through sheer dumb luck), but immediately after the explosion while still pissing his pants in sheer panic he starts delivering first aid, applying a tourniquet to that DEA agent's stump & probably saving his life. It's a contradictory thing of freezing at a critical moment, but then showing how he's got the skills & instincts to overcome & get the job done so that your respect for him actually increases with each "failure".

[@pearljammies]

Podcast Notes Guests: Episode Writer Tom Schnauz; Director Michelle MacLaren; Dean Norris [Hank] 1. Michelle showed the 2 boys the Cousins to help psych them up to play them, thinking it’d help to see how cool they are, but the kids were like “aw man, they’re _bald?_ So they showed them the scene of them walking away from the explosion & then the kids got excited 2. Dean accidentally caught the stunt guy in the tooth in the scene when he was beating up Jesse, and he felt so bad. When Aaron subbed in for his coverage, Dean said “don’t worry, I almost never make this mistake twice in a row” 😁 3. “In a show called Breaking Bad, Hank’s the only one who wants a clean soul at the end of the day.” They like turning the dirty cop trope on its head by having Hank be the most ethical person in the show. 4. Dean had a hard time not crying when he said to Marie “I’m not the man I thought I was.” Michelle asked him not to cry as it’s more heartbreaking if he’s about to cry but doesn’t cry. 5. The parking lot scene would’ve taken a month to shoot if they were on a movie, but they got it in 2 days

[@TheTororist]

on that last fun fact. why?

[@kuhpunkt]

They didn't mean literally a month, but still... TV schedule/budget is very tight.

[@pearljammies]

^^^that. They have time to stretch things out on film shoots, but tv has to be done suuuuper fast. Sometimes I think that’s a good thing.

[@TheTororist]

@@pearljammies so basically find ways to overshoot or deplete the budget? i dont understand, other than greed, why the same exact scene would take longer to shoot. but hey, everybodys getting paid

[@pearljammies]

I don’t know for certain, but I would guess it’s because there’s so much money in film, and the emphasis is on getting things that look incredible on screen, no matter how long it takes. Plus, with the extra time, they can get additional takes & more angles, so the editors have more to work with. On tv, they end up cutting more complex things on set in order to get things done in time. They’re just 2 different philosophies.

[@OllieBlazin]

Jesse is the best character of any show, of any form of fiction. He’s a boy in an adult world. LEAVE MY BOY JESSE ALONE!!!!

Hank is a survivor. He is able to perform amazingly well when SHIT is happening, he was able to concentratre and take his shot on Tuco, he was able to get back in action when the turtle bomb went off and now this. The only thing is the aftermath that he cant handle at all. One of the most layered and interesting character imo.

I know this is an old video but I’m pretty sure Walt not only needed Jesse back to cover his own ass, but he also likely realized that Gale was more than capable of replicating his recipe after just a few batches and that meant that Walt would sooner or later be disposed of by Gus. This whole time we’ve been lead to believe, just as Walt believed, that Walt is the only one capable of cooking this miracle blue meth.. until Jesse replicates it. Suddenly, Walt isn’t so special anymore. If Jesse can replicate the product, why wouldn’t Gale be able to? He’s clearly extremely intelligent and well versed in the world of chemistry, has an excellent memory and is already doing things in the lab without Walt. Gus didn’t just hire Gale to be an assistant, he had every intention of having Walt essentially teach Gale, then get rid of Walt and rely solely on Gale who is much more to his taste and reliable. Walt eventually sees this and so creates an excuse to get rid of Gale first. Bringing Jesse back was the result of 1. Preventing Jesse from pressing charges against Hank and threatening to expose Heisenburg, and 2. Replacing Gale with someone who he trust not to stab him in the back and who Gus would never in a million years choose over Walt, securing his position working for Gus (at least for a little longer)

I liked at the end of the show when Steve looks at Nicki with a look on his face like “did you just see what the fuck I saw just then!?!”🤣

[@ellea3344]

That... was... awesome. Hollow point, armor piercing round straight through the ol' noggin. That will leave a mark.

“Shred yo mama head like a cabbage!” - some dealer dude.

[@offspringfan1288]

I will admit this one by far one of the most intense moments of the series

[@Siptom369]

The scene with Hank got me standing in my chair the first time I watched it.

[@corrines4270]

U can’t think breaking bad could get any better until u watch the next episode. I have chills about this show. No show will ever EVER even come close to comparison. There’s no words to describe the genius behind the writing

[@ZodiacAngelx]

Watching this show for a third time, you really do notice how great this show ages. Thanks for reacting!!

[@donnellatreadway750]

I rewatched this episode this weekend knowing that this would be up next. I have seen it more than once, every time I feel anxious and yell at the TV almost verbatim what Nikki did. Love watching this, looking forward to more

[@danorm87]

Aaron Paul was awesome in that scene with Walt. You really feel the emotional pain hes been through.👏 Also the ending to this episode still gets to me!!😲🥊🏨

[@homelander5499]

Yo Adrian, Rocky called he wants his face back 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexcardozo5997]

Hank is the worst nightmare of salamanca family

[@ghenry4513]

That scene was breathtaking. I love it. And the question remains, who made the call?

[@Haddonfield63]

g henry I could tell you but you’ll have to find out later 🤫🤫

[@alexprimero5]

Gustavo.He didnt care about Hank but wanted all Salamanca dead. .

[@dwnkaomwn3953]

"Family is all". I wish it was that simple for every family.

[@oceanle]

When I read the title, I thought you were doing a 1 minute reaction video. HAHA

[@PodtrashRadio]

Gus wanted there to be a shootout and for Hank to have the upper hand by telling him beforehand so he could potentially kill the twins. Also Hank dying would serve Gus also since he's investigating. He wanted to kill 3 birds with 1 phone call! All Gus cares about is keeping Walt working for him.

[@magnieto1]

This was one of the most intense moments in that effing parking lot. Hank is an absolute unit.

[@dubswirl3082]

This was one of my favorite BB episodes.. my reaction was the same as y’all’s... mouth open, dumbfounded as shit. the horror and build up of that last scene was so good.. love how the producers don’t use music fillers in scenes like that.. just the raw emotions and the sounds of the actual atmosphere around... tires screeching, car alarm blaring, people screaming, no stupid slow motion cliches. Just a well shot scene...makes you feel like you are right there in the horror

[@rullmourn1142]

the twins are not cautious bc they believe they are protected by magic.spells.

[@sendorclegane7858]

i love hank the tank. i screamed with joy in this episode when i watched for the first time. 🥊🏥🔫 Happy Birthday Nikki.

[@yesitislikethat]

Sendor Clegane Hank the tank! Hank the tank! Hank the tank!

[@daimyoj9266]

Love the t-shirt Steven! Freakin awesome episode right here, that end scene is sick. Lovin your reactions as usual Nikki and Steven...

[@RobertMorgan]

Just think, if you can get kids to full on sock you across the face to stop you hurting their brother, imagine what you can make them do to strangers who are a threat to family. Powerful lesson indeed.

[@andyspendlove1019]

Them: "28:30 Is that all we're gonna get of Gale??" Us: 😬😬😬

[@mrmustangman]

"yo, Adrian, Rocky called and he wants his face back" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@coolbreez1214]

At 22:55 it looks like I had the playback paused. It was actually just your faces were frozen. I literally LOLed. This is my second or 3rd time around, watching this reaction. This is so entertaining. As far as I am concerned, there should always be a place to watch others react to things. BRAVO.

[@LordBloodraven]

If Hank had his sidearm, he'd have tried to fire for the center mass of both brothers and only hit their body armor. Lesson: Treat every threat like a zombie and aim for the head.

[@CahzinarX]

Lord Bloodraven Nah I think most guys would still flynch heavily from the shots due to.the bruising blunt impact it will leave. The twin recovered farily quickly but alot of people would not ignore the pain well enough to put shots on target I think.

[@sleptking1707]

And I present to you, one of the most badass yet tense scenes in Breaking Bad.

[@SomeDudeMaybeProbably]

Don't forget to think more about the phone call.

[@kcmet79]

Agree, I strongly feel as though Walter purposely told Gale the wrong setting on purpose. Big props to ace director Michelle McLaren for directing the shit out of this episode. [She likewise left her strong stamp on The Walking Dead‘s “Pretty much dead already“ and the underrated S4 finale “A.”]

[@simpleysims]

Its great to know they're still quite a few ppl out there who haven't seen BB judging by all these reaction videos on yt. It tells me someone out there is yet to be in for the ride of their TV expereince and makes me reminisce on the first time id ever seen Breaking Bad. Love everything about this show. Cant wait for the movie!

[@nateblack8669]

I love the end of this episode so much. The way the car horn keeps blaring when the credits kick in.

[@kennandunn7533]

My understanding of why Hank just sat in the car waiting is because he knew that if the guy on the phone was telling the truth, leaving right then wouldn't get rid of the assassin's they'd just find him again, and that time he'd have no warning.
