I love in this episode you can see hanks gun and hand is shaking when he is aiming at Jesse. He's killed before and it broke him for a while and doesnt want to do it again.

[@oliverhughes610]

The 'what ifs' in this episode are crazy. What if Walt skipped 1 red light and got to the house a minute earlier? What if Jesse was a minute late for the meeting and saw the scary-looking guy just hanging with his daughter and concluded (rightly) there was no threat? Lowkey tho Skyler been wanting to cap Jesse since day 1 lol

[@ComedicPause]

Alternate Reality Skyler in S1 episode 2: "My husband is Walter White, yo!" Proceeds to pull out a glock and blow Jesse's brains out.

[@MoeLester_Jr]

Breaking bad alternate history💀

[@dlweiss]

This is the episode that really shows just how far down EVERYONE’s morality has been dragged, because of Walter’s actions. Jesse, Skyler, Hank, even Marie. No one is getting out of this unscathed.

[@kinesin8221]

Watching you talk about Jesse always reminds me of the one time I tried to get my dad to watch BB. He made it through maybe 4-5 episodes and then had to stop because, and I quote, "I feel bad for the kid and I get the feeling it's just gonna keep getting worse for him". Needless to say, it's a good thing he called it quits when he did...

[@JamesVSCinema]

It's worth it hahaha, but I totally get that.

[@rumham7466]

@@TheRealAhoyexactly. And he was so young after all. And Walt is the one who showed up at his house and threatened that he either helps and cooks with him, or he turns him in. He manipulated Jesse from the very beginning. Jesse was just a young guy finding his way. What was he like 2 years out of high school.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Ironic, isn't it? The one time where Walt wasn't trying to pull any trick on Jesse, Jesse thought he was.

[@Shzzaam]

Episode 14 is literally the highest rated episode of television on IMDB. Over 200,000 reviews and it's at a 10/10

[@thecontinent9192]

We are here. And yes I really wish ppl would stop manipulating Jesse as a pawn in their own agendas, but Jesse having the realization about the poison was necessary. He still shoulda left…yet here we are.

[@JamesVSCinema]

My man Jesse is getting bullied up 😭

[@TheGavrael]

Yep. He also doesn't care to connect the dots. Walt literally saved his life a couple times from Gus, and Jesse couldn't comprehend that Gus wanted Walt dead. Yeah he shouldn't have poisoned a kid, but Jesse was kind of the one who made all that happen through ignorance and both pride and shame.

[@MamadNobari]

@@TheGavrael Jesse was the real Heisenferg😔

[@Danczyk]

Similarly to Walt’s confession tape, you can find jesses full confession tape on youtube. It’s quite interesting seeing how Jesse sees the series from his perspective

[@kennedymontoya9962]

Never knew this. Thanks

[@AmbassadorKat]

That’s really cool info. Thanks for sharing

[@chaost4544]

Skyler urging Walt to kill Jesse is probably her lowest moment in the show.

[@manvirshergill1739]

Can you blame her though...

[@weirdguy1495]

I feel like her lowest moment is still her wandering into the pool as a cry for help.

It's the birth of SKYSENBERG in my opinion.

[@voodoomaestro4295]

Bill Burr has been doing stand up for 20+ years. He was famous when he did breaking bad, but he hadn’t blown up to the point he is at now. He just started watching the show very early on in its run. He fell in love with it so much he asked his agent if he could try to get on the show or at least get an audition.

[@rickDArula]

" I don't care if I'm a background character carrying meth" - Bull Burr

[@HaloOfSun]

I forgot how funny that line is "yeah but deep down he loves me". Forever love Saul.

[@ronin7997]

With the state of media where so many shows work to "subvert expectations" to climax their stories, Breaking Bad broke the mold with foreshadowing major events well in advance (the plane crash, future ruined Walt). The journey to see how these foretold events unravel is what makes the show so compelling, because it's so good about how it gets to them. Saul Goodman's story is just as fascinating (if not better IMO) as Walter White.

[@DawryMike]

When he called him luckier and the devil it reminded me of the Judge character in Blood Meridian. The idea of an unrelenting force who, even if outsmarted, is fated to defeat you is terrifying.

[@jacobcrist3080]

Since you mentioned not being able to see anyone else as these characters, if you didnt know, AMC wanted either Matthew Broderick or John Cusack for the role of Walter White. Luckily Vince Gilligan was adamant about using Cranston who he knew from his days on the X-Files where Cranston did a guest spot. At the time, AMC thought Cranston was too much of a comedy actor and wouldn't be able to handle the dramatic parts. I'm sure they've never been so happy to be wrong.

[@MamadNobari]

jesus christ

[@mrpickmanb]

Dark Brodrick would have been interesting.

[@MLennholm]

I've known about this since I first watched Breaking Bad, but later when I first watched Mr Robot, going in completely blind, and I saw that Christian Slater was one of the main characters I remember thinking "Wow, I feel about this the same way I feel about the idea of Matthew Broderick being Walter White" 😅

[@Hal2718]

Yeah, I remember my first time watching it and thinking "Really? The naive manic dad from Malcolm in the Middle?" Once the first season was finally over, I couldn't watch Malcolm in the Middle without seeing Cranston as Walter White/Heisenberg.

[@PBandJwithBacon]

When my wife watched the show for the first time she said (Out of the adults)" the only person with redeeming qualities is Jesse" she ain't wrong

[@nicholasloduca6668]

I'm hoping with the praise he has been getting his appearance in the latest season of Black Mirror, Aaron Paul finally gets to be more than the Breaking Bad guy. It didn't really work out for him post-Breaking Bad, party due to what you mention that you can't really see anyone else in that role (also not great projects too) but he is incredible and I think Aaron Paul as Jesse is a top 5 ever TV performance

[@rumham7466]

13:02 must be weird for Hank hearing this and finding this all out. Someone he thought was just some geeky quiet brother in law. And I always was amused that Jesse still calls him Mr White to the end.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Seeing Jesse working with Hank to take Walt down is truly a pairing I didn’t expect. Of course he doesn’t care if Jesse dies, but still. I didn’t expect this the first time watching this show, nobody did. Great episode, great reaction James. I hope you’re doing well man. Take care!

[@rodvincetolosa9386]

Everybody lobbying to kill Jesse, who doesn't want to? Walt. Walt is evil but you can't deny that he did care for Jesse in his own twisted way.

[@wilcox2146]

I already burned through both episodes… now what do I do today?

now time to wait til next sunday hahah

[@JamesVSCinema]

😂😂😂

[@mregobuster]

Aaron Paul's delivery of "He can't keep getting away with it." In one way of sorrow, and a second later saying the same line in complete rage. Acting, my dude.

[@baileybrian9560]

Matthew Broderick was originally one of the actors that was supposed to be cast as Walter White, which i thought was really weird at first. But he was also in this movie called "Election" which is about a teacher who's life starts falling apart over his hatred of an overachieving student, so i think he probably could have also done a pretty good job in this role, but the show defintely wouldn't have been the same at all

[@albudos]

You reached the point of no return man. Get ready for what's coming because is probably the best television ever made. Love your reactions.

[@gaylecarver1165]

The rest of the episodes are off the charts. Can't wait for you to see them!

[@kristin1533]

On the topic of colors in BB, I noticed that on the day of the plane crash, Walt is wearing a bright pink crew neck sweater, the same color of the toy we find floating in the Whites' pool. This highlights the brutal reality of the crash, IMO.

[@aliciasavage6801]

Skylar saying to kill Jesse - I finally now see why everyone hates her, that made me hate her too. Jesse is the most tragic, yet also most human character on this show.

[@luiscalzoncit2820]

Why should she care about him? The only thing she knows about him is that he works with Walt and tried to set their house on fire with her and her children inside.

Why Aaron Paul won his third Emmy:

[@michele36618]

Jessie’s story is heartbreaking!!!!

[@transformersrevenge9]

That was amazing acting by Aaron Paul. I'm pretty sure he had not acted much (mainly an extra in music videos, commercials and small roles in movies) before this show, and if that's the case, he delivered a powerhouse performance. Also you are so right about the color in this show. There are entire wiki pages (that sadly have better call saul spoilers), that detail the consistent and intentional use of color in this show, to display different emotions and themes. They thought every suit, every object, every room through to the last detail. It's honestly crazy. If I was a director, I don't think the intentional use of color and it's meanings, would have been on my mind, when crafting such a show.

[@robtintelnot9107]

Aaron was an actor before this show. This was just his first major lead role.

[@transformersrevenge9]

@@robtintelnot9107 yeah I just looked it up. But still he had no professional training as an actor. He is delivering Oscar worthy performance in breaking bad, yet his resume was basically modeling, and extra/small roles in commercials, movies and music videos. How the casting people picked him out of the crowd of people doing the same thing, and landed on a goldmine, is beyond me.

[@pwnels9023]

I’ve watched breaking bad maybe 5 or 6 times, several different reactions(JamesvsCinema being #1), and it never gets old. Can’t wait for you to finish this series!! Then you can watch it again 😂. In my opinion that second time through is even better.

[@badprotocol1105]

I was very disappointed in Hank, willing to let Jessie be killed and dismissing him, because Jessie is actually very intelligent and knows what he's talking about regarding Walter. Hank was an amazing character, fun to watch, very cunning but ultimately he was a little too arrogant at times.

[@benf1111]

Its hard to say whats the best thing about this show but the casting is right there at the top of the list

[@chris_player2995]

14:13 reminds me of season 2 when they "caught" Heisenberg

You should go watch some of the sceane comparisons of the columbian version of breaking bad to see how the great material/caracters can be done wrong,its called metastasis,it really makes you appreciate how good breaking bad is,walter,saul jessie,tucu,all done wrong😂😂

[@byron2521]

I agree.I cannot see anyone else playing these characters. And it shows Brian Cranston's diversity. Before Breaking Bad he primarily was in comedy roles on TV, like Malcolm in the Middle and even Sinefeld.

[@kellytrimble7019]

You are about to be blown away by the last few episodes! And really if you care about Jessie 😢

[@oggyreidmore]

So many of the characters come from the comedy world. Bryan Cranston did Malcolm in the Middle. Bob Odenkirk is from Mr. Show. Lavell Crawford who plays Huell and Bill Burr who plays Kubi are both standup comedians. Better Call Saul has even more people from comedy involved, but I won't spoil anything here lol.

[@DBlairMusic]

The use of color is definitely intentional by the production team

[@lyletuck]

[@bradsullivan2495]

Gotta watch the next two episodes back-to-back. They're linked directly by the ending of the first and the start of the second. The second ep of this pair is arguably the best of the series.

[@planetofthegames2843]

despite my sympathies to Jesse, he is a deep character, one of the greatest in TV-show history but he is a rat. No matter how deep Walt dives in lies and disgusting things he did, he always cared about Jesse. Even in moments when Jesse blackmailed him or keep screwing things up and needed to silenced for good. And the whole thing with poisoning the boy were started because of Jesse's caricature sense of justice. And in the end he still rat Walter out. He is not the good person, he is just a victim of criminal more monstrous than him

[@mvasqu762]

I liked how they made a close shot of pool flowing, just like the meth was pouring on a plate

[@danielperry6921]

😎

[@RandomPerson2times]

I never noticed it before, but I wonder if Walt’s tendency to meditate by pools is a subtle reference to Tony Soprano. Vince Gilligan has said that The Sopranos was a primary inspiration for Breaking Bad
