I almost makes Walt seem like the villain. He confuses and manipulates Jesse whereas the other two want to see him do well and succeed (even if it is partly for their own benefit).

[@Nettles_and_Mint]

@Nevi1097 Yeah tbh Jesse would´ve been much better off working for Gus. Like Walt is the main character and we´re supposed to root for him but...like 9 times out of 10 Walt is the reason for Jesse´s pain.

[@Nevi234]

@@Nettles_and_Mint oh i totally agree. In my headcanon, Jesse switches loyalties to Gus and lives more or less peacefully(like mike) and Walt fucks off for good. It wouldn't be perfect, but Gus has more respect for Jesse and does a better job at lifting him up, even if it's to use for his own advantage.

One thing I love about the last scene is how fast the cuts are when Jesse shoots the last person. It shows the rush of energy and fear that Jesse is experiencing.

I don't know much about GOT, but my friends are fucking devastated over how "The Bells" turned out, and without spoiling anything I just wanted to express my deepest condolences. I was a Dexter fan while back, so I know how it feels to have a show you love just absolutely betray you in terms of character motivations and writing... I really hope the finale on Sunday redeems itself somewhat. As a fellow lover of television, I hate seeing loyal fans of a show go through shit like this even though I don't care for the show myself.

@@mannycervantes1106 If youre going to owe something to Walter, owe Jesse being inside of this entire situation on him. All of the events that have happened in this show have been directly or indirectly caused by Walter, and he sure as hell made no attempt at teaching Jesse how to follow the recipe intentionally. The episode where Jesse decided to start back cooking and Walter treated him horribly, his interactions with Gale and the previous episode where he hoped Jesse would die all showed that Walt didnt give a f* about Jesse once he found out his loyalty wasnt exclusively for Walt. I saw a short a few days ago about a successful chef talking about how his abusive elementary teacher would beat him and tell him how he would turn out to be nothing, and it was people just like you saying that that abuse played a large role in the guys success.

I think this is my favorite episode. Can't say enough about how they handled that final fifteen minutes from directing to acting to soundtrack and creative decisions. It's one of the best crime scenes of all time in tv or cinema. It keeps you guessing, even though right away you have an inkling what's about to happen, but you're never a hundred percent sure until Don Eladio drops his cigar from the ground up. The music is pitch perfect. Gus kneeling down is chilling, but the filming shot from behind Gus as he walks out of the bathroom to that music is absolute perfection of filmmaking.

🤦‍♀️🐝🥃🤮 I love it when Jesse gets all prideful & indignant. He becomes less whipped. There's something to be said about having those "sinful" emotions revealed. It helps Jesse in the short term, at least. I think that's what Gus saw in him that day in the "Boxcutter" episode. Nikki: "Is Gus gonna be okay, now?" Oh no! Are we back to that. 🤣 Jesse's reflex action when Mike got shot...I was so proud. {ugh} What am I saying? LOL! btw...now I think I can mention that - I always felt that this episode reveals the real reason Gus finally said "yes" to the Don Eladio (the cartel). It wasn't because he was intimidated into it, or that he felt he needed to protect his business, but that he saw an opportunity for revenge. It was his *Don Vito Corleone* moment to avenge his family. Or maybe just a little of the first two reasons. This is one of my favorite episodes. 😊🏝️🌺❤️

[@CST1992]

This is another episode which undermines the people who want to simplify Walt to some sort of basic villain. Walt cares a lot about Jesse and has a lot of regrets about what he does. He’s a complex character.

[@tramarthomas6105]

Regardless, 90% of the interactions Jesse and Walt have had have been horrible. Walt, just like hes done to most of the people in his life, has flipped Jesses life upside down. A big part of why he cared about Jesse was because Jesse is so loyal. If people are calling Walt a basic villain then theyre wrong, him not being a total sociopath doesnt make him not a villain though.

i wouldn't count on two parts for Breaking Bad... not a risk we are willing to take with this show

[@GNBE-ll7ot]

@@NikkiStevenReact no problem yo!

[@spackle9999]

One tiny suggestion for the next episode. It's really well acted so you might want to consider turning off closed captions so there aren't any distractions. Some lines could be robbed of their impact if you see what they're gonna say. Just an idea!

[@scottwlfc]

SALUT! One of my favourite scenes in TV history, so much tension, such an amazing scene!!

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

This episode is my favorite Jesse episode. It contains his characters best climactic transformation of the whole series. It’s the moment Jesse really comes into his own. It’s the moment Jesse becomes his own version of a bad ass. It’s the moment Jesse becomes self confident and in control. And best of all, it’s the moment he and Mike truly bond and become loyal friends to each other. Over the years I’ve watched those scene over and over. It’s just an amazing moment of character transformation.

My father bought a P.T. Cruiser in 2006. He loved that thing and it did him right for many years. When he got sick in 2011 and couldn't drive any longer, he passed it down to his grandson (my nephew) and he still owns it to this day. It was a very versatile vehicle for my dad and my nephew treats it like gold. I hope P.T. Poosay had a similar experience, regardless of what his AWFUL friends said about him..... ;-)

I really wanted to see Walt Jr. asking "Hey, dad, who is Jesse?"

[@totesmegoatscrystal9688]

I think he picks Jesse cuz he trusts Jesse to just listen to him and feel Jesse is more loyal to him than Walt would be and Walt has to much of an ego to give anyone his recipe.

[@justyouravgjoe3962]

Don't know if anybody has mentioned this but the leader of the cartel played Manny from Scarface.

[@neilj6322]

Don’t be calling him no fucking dishwasher man

[@NikkiStevenReact]

that's awesome!!!

[@beyonderbill3409]

And Hector/Tio (Mark Margolis)played Sosa's hitman in Scarface as well.

[@karinasalazar2396]

Salud Is Expressing good wishes, especially before drinking is like cheers in English 😊 Love your reactions ❤️ greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️

[@SomeDudeMaybeProbably]

"but it feels like every episode has been good.... even fly..." One of Us! One of Us! One of Us! Props to the idea behind the episode but we all can admit it is the red headed stepchild in the series; every other episode crushes your reality, the fly barely tickles it.

[@Spongebrain97]

I like how with making the meth jesse doesnt know every specific detail but because hes ran the same routine over and over again, hes familiar with the step by step process

[@YellowBunny]

This is one of my 2 favorite episodes of Breaking Bad.

[@nuclear314]

It is a toast when drinking.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

and a response when someone sneezes.

[@amydubuque2894]

Yes it's a toast when drinking, but Steven is also correct that it's a reaction when someone sneezes. It means health. Or as my Spanish teacher said "it means I hope you dont get sick and die."

[@biglu323]

@26:29 - great motivational quote

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Gus took something to coat his stomach most likely. to slow the absorption of the poison down until he could puke what he could up. probably magnesium.

[@amexgirl84]

“This is a lot!”-Nikki. “This is intense.”-Steven. Always love when you two say these phrases. I think they are the best way to summarize how one feels watching this show. 🤦‍♂️🐝🥃🤮

[@cybernautadventurer]

I'm no chemist but I think that alcohol had the neurotoxin from Blowfish. In moderate doses it causes complete paralysis; at higher doses it stops respiration - kinda necessary for life.

[@kellyjackson9384]

Technically Walt Jnr can still say his first car was a PT Cruiser! My first car was a beige Austin Metro so if I was Walt Jnr I wouldn't be complaining! 😂

[@j_DanielOchoa]

"Salud" means "cheers" or "Health". However we do say "Salud" when someone sneezes so yeah, you could say it means "bless you" but not in the context of this episode.

[@Thepitz2000]

The guy that shot Mike outside is not the same guy that Mike strangled, watch the overhead camera view @22:20 when Gus is challenging the rest to fight him, the guy Mike strangled had on black pants and is on the ground dead, the guy outside was wearing jeans.

[@chaost4544]

Steven shaking his head at the PT Cruiser reveal was great. That was a car that was kind of a good idea but ultimately turned out to be the "cool mom" car instead of something that everyone thought was awesome.

[@earthboundmother205]

Jesse was always a great student on the low low. But never be too good at what you do

[@ig56ruje]

breaking bad is the best tv drama in history

[@robertrodriguez1964]

Somewhere in heaven abuela is saying: you see if you had the menudo it absorbs the bad stuff. But nooo you don't listen.

[@dasman01]

"Salud" also means health. That is the most accurate translation xd. But the word is also used as a "bless u" and as a "cheers". Keep it going guys! ❤

[@nastynate692]

Dont fck with Gustavo !!! He has patience and he took his time for this Payback.

[@ChrisRedfield--]

Salud= cheers expressing good wishes, especially before drinking.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

also used when someone sneezes

[@justlesa7355]

IMO, when Jesse was making those money runs/meetings with Mike, those were his wax on, wax off training moments. And his playing those shoot 'em up video game paid off. Beneke's stupidity and cluelessness is hilarious to me. 🤦🐝🥃🤮

[@OneDarkMartian]

One of my favourite episodes. So well done, I'm always on the edge if my seat with this one. Superb!

[@elroysez8333]

Mike didn't shoot the guy because he didn't have a gun until he grabbed one from a body on the ground. There is no way the cartel would have allowed him to be armed. He was able to sneak in a garote though to strangle the dude. The guy Jessie shot was a separate bad guy. They had different clothes. The pills Gus took most likely were designed to soak up some of the poison in the tequila which he could then vomit out in the bathroom. One of my favorite episodes by far. 🤦‍♂️🐝🥃🤮

[@NikkiStevenReact]

we thought the guy that shot him at the end was the same dude he was choking... so the shooting him comment was for after he took the gun off the dead dude.

[@elisabethlarsen4282]

One of the best episodes! 💓💪 Taken straight from WikiFandom: "The numeral "8" seems to appear conspicuously throughout this episode: The bruise on Jesse's face The airplane's tail number The clouds The Whites' house number This may be a reference to episode 8 of this season; "Hermanos", where there is a flashback of Gus' partner getting murdered directly in front of him. "Salud" ends with vengeance for this death being served."

[@pearljammies]

omg the numbers! Is Hurley there!!!??

[@ChakasCave]

Jessica are you him? Are you the guy? what did one snow man say to the other?

[@pearljammies]

Brandon Ross👃🥕 😆

[@ChakasCave]

Jessica yussss. They need to react to lost once they wrap up BB... if they haven’t seen it.

[@amydubuque2894]

Elizabeth Larsen I didnt even realize that. I've watched the show maybe 3 times and never picked up on that.
