[@Burnout404]

Having watched both my parents die from cancer... fighting it until the end and how bad the treatments damaged them... living most of their last days in rehab facilities and how bad they get treated in these places... its tough... its a bad situation all around and you cant blame Walt for not wanting to go into so much debt when its not likely to work... its a really bad thing to go through

[@pearljammies]

I’m so sorry.

[@Heavydutysteven]

[@thescarfispurple5727]

Burnout404 I understand. My mother passed away from lung cancer 14 moths ago. She chose to fight, but was in the end so doped up she was barely there. It was the most horrible thing I've ever gone through. I'm sorry for your losses.

[@angie-tq4ew]

❤️

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Same here. And it's like high stakes gambling with the treatments. At best it buys them a few years. At worst they suffer from the treatments and die even sooner sometimes because the treatments weaken them. The emotional costs is something you will get past. The financial could last forever. You could lose your home,your savings etc. This is pretty unique to the US in the civilized world. The intelligent countries have universal healthcare. In Canada he would be diagnosed and then get treatments without worrying about losing everything he'd worked all his life for. No need to "break bad"

[@LordBloodraven]

Sadly, this is a reality many uninsured families face when fighting a cancer diagnosis. Without a radical influx of money, their options are extremely limited. Get treatment and fight through the debt. Don't get the treatment and die. Even though we're watching Walt committing several crimes, we're rooting for him to succeed.

[@TheSouthernWriter]

Walter has insurance and could get first-rate cancer treatment with no expense to his family other than the co-pays and deductibles. And frankly, public employees like Walter typically have great insurance that could likely pay for whatever specialist he wanted. You don’t get to devastate hundreds of lives with a ruinous, highly addictive drug to pay for some uber expensive specialist when you’re no doubt going to die anyway. Walter has other perfectly good options for treatment.

[@Funnysterste]

I have heard of a 8 years old boy who died in the USA, because his family could not afford the treatment of a ulcerated tooth. (A cyst is basically a pus herd that does go on growing until it reaches the brain.)

[@Funnysterste]

@@TheSouthernWriter Wasn't this pre-Obamacare?

[@romans5-811]

Medicaid already covers cancer treatment for the uninsured. And Walter *is* insured and could get good care without paying too much out of pocket. He doesn’t have to sell a really horrible drug to get care. In no way are his actions justified.

[@rebeccaodonnell6252]

There’s a great meme out that shows Walt and reads, “The Moral of Breaking Bad: Pay teachers more money.” That cracks me up!

[@baburao87]

There's one more. "If breaking bad would have taken place in Canada, it would have been over in 1 episode. His treatment would have been covered in insurance"

[@ianwestc]

@@baburao87 That's true, but Breaking Bad makes it pretty clear that Walt had other, more legitimate avenues of treatment (like the one next episode) that he explicitly rejects, because his ego will only allow the money to come from HIM. HE has to the be the originator, and HE has to the be savior of his family. No one else. Not friends, not charity, no one but Walter White. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Universal Health Care and think it would have taken some of the pressure off. But the seeds of Heisenberg were always in Walter White. The series also makes clear that he got a more negative diagnosis from a cheaper doctor, but once he could afford the best, his chances were much better. Would he really have gotten that chance in, say, the Canadian system? Would it have paid for it?

[@TheNaughtyFrench]

@@baburao87I live in France and it's even funnier when you know in France we have the best health insurance in the world. HAHAHA

[@DustinHawke]

It's more of a healthcare issue. In a country with universal healthcare, he would have just been treated.

[@DustinHawke]

@@ianwestc That only came into play because the insurance wouldn't cover his treatment. He would have just gotten it done and not even thought about getting into making meth in the first place. Once he got into it, that's when he really seen it as a way to get above Gretchen & Elliot. If he would have been able to cook all that methylamine and made $100 million, he would have not been satisfied because Grey Matter is worth billions.

[@wordswritteninred7171]

I take it that Jesse's childhood wasnt bad. But that his parents didnt really participate enough with him. So he was left to find his own activities. But his parents learned their lesson...sort of. So their second child they are smoothering. He has too many actubities. So they iber compensated. But Jesse is my favorite character. He has a huge heart.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

yeah, Jesse clearly has a good heart just caught up in some bad stuff. And that is a good point, situations like this almost always starts with the parents. - S

[@apulrang]

R. J. Mitte as Walter and Skyler’s son is really outstanding. In case you don’t know, the actor has a similar disability to his character. As someone with a disability myself, I love how the son’s disability is a very low-grade part of Walter’s overall motivation. It’s rarely talked about, or explicitly invoked, but it’s there. Best of all, the son’s character isn’t just solely about being “the disabled kid.” He’s interesting and enjoyable in a number of ways, pretty three-dimensional for a side character.

[@OG_Fernando]

So far he's been somewhat annoying...hopefully in the future that changes.

[@JoshSweetvale]

His 'teenage rebellion' is pretty harmless sass, and he's very optimistic. He's a tertiary character but can be summarized as 'good kid.'

[@DustinHawke]

He has the exact same disability. Cerebral Palsy. He just doesn't have it as bad in real life and doesn't need the crutches.

[@gingersnap3736]

I loved that even though Jessie took the fall for Jake, he wasn’t gonna take the chance that he was starting down a path he took. You can see Mom is always looking for ways to get him straight but Dad doesn’t want him around his younger son....not until he gets clean. Great reaction as always guys!!🥳

15 yrs ago I met & married a widower with 2 kids. His late wife had passed 5 years prior; the kids were 7 & 2 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. It had spread to several places, but the tumors in her liver= death sentence. My husband has been combat deployed 4X. He told me that sitting down to tell the kids & family was the worst, scariest, most heart-wrenching thing he's ever experienced. His wife lived for 1 year, alternating between positivity, depression, fear, joy, & business as usual day to day. 4 months after diagnosis she was too sick to do anything. The final 8 months was a gradual fade out. Very painful. The good news is that the kids accepted me right away; the youngest barely remembered her mom & was desperate for a woman in her life. The eldest took a bit longer to come around but we've been a solid, loving, laughing family since the beginning. They're my kids now and I'm their mom. That's it! We celebrate their mom; she gave me the greatest gifts in the world. Both kids found BB painful to watch at times but ultimately they loved it. My husband didn't truly grieve his wife until we'd been married for a few years. He always felt he had to be super tough for the kids, keep going. Once he knew he & kids weren't alone anymore & that they'd be taken care of no matter what, he relaxed and really felt her loss for the first time. Not trying to get political but living overseas for 10 yrs. (military) & seeing universal healthcare systems in action convinced me that U.S. is doing it all wrong. Nobody facing illness should have to think about $, sell meth, lose a home, etc. "Socialized" medicine covered my husband's late wife, courtesy of the USAF. Cost to the family for chemo, radiation, surgery, scans, medicines, hospice nurses & equipment: less than $1000. Food for thought, yo.

[@kingtchenka628]

Universal healthcare shouldn't even necessarily be a Democrat / Republican type political argument. It's a little bit cheaper and a LOT better for citizens. If something is cheaper and better, you can't LOGICALLY argue against it, in terms of cost. Many argue illogically. There ARE a few minor valid criticisms that aren't brought up a lot, to which I say this: the Americans who can now afford to purchase quicker wait times can surely afford to fly internationally for the fastest available surgeries IF universal healthcare prevents it.

[@mbpoblet]

@@kingtchenka628 Oh, no, there's a pretty simple logic to their madness: _"I got mine, fuck you."_

[@jacquelinelaface136]

@@kingtchenka628 even in Canada where we have universal healthcare there are private physicians that people can pay for within the country too. But everyone still gets access to basic and even life saving care without worrying if their kids will go hungry in order to get healthy.

[@death_parade]

I'll tell you what, poor people in India had to go through that crap. Then the government stepped in. Today, the poorest person in the country can go to some of the most expensive private hospitals in India and get treated for free. This facility is available to 500 million of our poorest citizens. And FYI, Indian private hospitals are some of the best in the world. People come from all over the world for affordable treatment in India. That includes people from USA. And in Africa, people only know to go to either South Africa or India. The success rates in some Indian private hospitals are higher than in USA John Hopkins, etc. If a developing country, where 22% of the population lives in poverty, could do this, why can the USA not do it? What is the point of being a democracy if the needs of the electorate are not met?

[@CakeBevens]

KING T'CHENKA 52% of Republicans support universal HC. Like 85% dems support it. It’s about the politicians in those parties who get money from interest groups. They are the only ones stopping it.

I guess the telling your family part comes down to personality. As a very private people (the finns), my dad was someone who would never tell any bad news if it could be avoided. He sat on the news about his brain tumor for ages until slipped it to mom who in turn told us the kids. He was convinced that it would just go away if he told no one. The great plot twist was that what was initially thought as a tumor size of his fist turned out to be mostly liquid and the tumor just a fraction of the size, so he lived.

It’s interesting how both Jesse and his brother developed a drug habit independently from each other. Makes you want to take a closer look at their home environment. Jesse showed a lot of promise judging by his drawing. Could’ve been a good artist. And his bro is doing well at school for now, but both turned to drugs at some point.

[@insrtcowjoke]

I really liked the ending for this episode. While Walter's family is all weirded out by how he doesn't seem to be coping/reacting to his cancer, the ending shows that he definitely is. That his emotions are running wild inside there, bottling it up, and he's venting it via anger/violence/crime. I think his reaction to that annoying douche and his car shows that money is really just his moral justification for what's happening, but the reality is he's venting his despair at terminal cancer by not being Mr. Straight-Laced GoodieTwoShoes, and by being a 'bad' guy and not taking crap from people any more. You also see something of the opposite in Jesse, here. That, while Jesse is definitely a 'bad' person, he's fighting inside to not be - which is why he looks out for his brother two-fold by both not ratting him out, but by also denying him drugs. And it also shows how he was looking out for his parents, by shielding them from the fact that their other boy is trying to dabble in drugs, too. That he's more or less, a well-meaning addict who just can't overcome his addiction and the trouble/company that comes with it. It's part of why I love this show. The characters run deep, so that the way they're acting makes rational psychological sense, even if they're flawed choices. It is conceivable that these characters and this story, so far anyway, could really exist and happen. For me, anyway, that's the thing that makes this show most special. Probably just me, but that's my $0.02.

[@JoshSweetvale]

First phase of Walt's life, he was a scientist. Then one day, he went on a day-trip with his girlfriend's family who were all succesful, and Walt wasn't. Yet. So he struck out on his own. Found a new girl, but fell into the wage slave cycle and never got out. Now he's at death's door, and hasn't become succesful. Again. So he flips the table. Again. And goes to find his fortune someplace else. *Finally* getting a win, finding something he's good at again... It makes him happy.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Just to give you some perspective on the question of how do you talk about it to your child about something like this. I was that child. My dad got pancreatic cancer when I was 12 and he was 42 (which I will hit next year). And the only talk we ever had was right after his diagnosis. And to this day I don't know whether his doctor really told him that this is one of the most lethal kinds. I assume he did, and kept to himself, even from my mom. But that was something we didn't talk about. It was his best friend who told me 4 months before he died, that there was no way he was going to recover, that it was just about buying time. So what he did was sitting me down on the couch next to him and telling me that he was very sick, that it was cancer and that a very hard time lay ahead of us. And then he broke off and cried. Which was more than enough to tell me how bad it really was. And so we said there in silence hugging each other and crying. That was the only time we ever talked about it. We never talked about the possibility of death. We just talked about the hope of surviving. And then we lived our lifes as long as possible as normal as possible. Anything else would driven us mad, I think.

I lost my father to cancer a few years ago. And yes, it's one of the worst feelings and situations in life. Knowing in advance that a person you love has a limited time changes everything. The whole family starts to die in one way or another. You have no idea how to deal with all the shit because nobody teaches you stuff like this. You have no idea how to even talk to the person, it's impossible to know unless you are the one that have it. I watched this show a few years before my dad got sick, and now it's the first time i'm "watching it" (with you guys) and oh boy... the feelings are so much stronger now.

As for the go back thing, I used that a lot during the Windows ME days.. the Windows Operating system still has that function. It's called a "Restore Point" but with how Windows 10 reallly gets into the system (good or bad/ ie at times accidentally un-installing programs you may normally use) it's not something I personally have felt the need to use..but sometimes I'll see it mentioned and it does take me back. Anyhoo thanks for another react-viewing episode.

You have to think as well that no matter what they find whether it's DNA, or fingerprints that you have to have done something wrong to be fingerprinted, or have a DNA sample taken to be in the database. Seeing as how Walter has been a quiet "good guy" up until this point he doesn't have any criminal record for the law to match his prints or DNA to anything they find so he would be in the clear.

[@robertrodriguez1964]

Fingerprinting is also done for federal background checks IE: a concealed weapons permit, TSA clearance, or even a TWIC card. Which I've had all 3.

[@adrianezzo1696]

@@robertrodriguez1964 that's true i didn't even think about that i was fingerprinted when I got a job doing airport security for the FAA, this was prior to November 2001 when it officially was switched to the TSA. Good call, well in any case I dont think Walter White was ever fingerprinted, or DNA swabbed, or blood tested etc. I don't wanna spoil any future episodes but I don't think he was fingerprinted for his job either.

[@mjstraz3593]

Shouldn't we all be fingerprinted from birth so we know who exactly did something?

[@adrianezzo1696]

@@mjstraz3593 let me guess you're the type of person who thinks RFID chips are needed?

[@mjstraz3593]

@@adrianezzo1696 I don't know what that is, I was just asking a question. It just seems convenient if everyone was in the database so if we did find prints on someone from a crime that didn't do one before, we would have them on the database. If that's a bad idea or something, then please tell me

[@killerjuggs7662]

subscribed cause you're the only reasonable reactors I watch. Only you guys upload 2 episodes a week! I only watch awesome reactors btw. Total of 3 with you guys included. ;)

[@frankrodriguez2999]

Lol Steven better watch himself, Nikki apparently knows how to get rid of a body and evidence 🤣🤣🤣

[@Nightmarigny]

Ooh child, every time you say, "this is intense!" everyone who has seen the show before chuckles because of what's ahead.

[@Funnysterste]

The song at the end is: Darondo - "Didn't I"

[@triskelxx3941]

I freaking love Jesse! I mean he's so interesting, plus Aaron Paul is amazing♡

[@MrM.A]

i watch you guys since GOT, i realy like her smile!

[@BRWednesday]

This episode always gets me right in the feels. Nikki said it best "Where did it all go wrong?". I really have a hard time see innocence giveway to a harsh reality of the world. Those young pictures of Jessie where anything was possible, where he had a passion, then to see him now as a junkie, looking back on what was once so important to him. Thankfully I don't have a drug habit, but struggling to find a passion while getting older hits me really, really hard.

[@zanechi]

Please don’t ask what Jesse did wrong, ask what his parents did wrong. They seemed to be very incapable as parents.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

very good point... kids that have gone down the wrong path is almost a result of bad parenting.

[@AlasdairGR]

Nikki & Steven React They’ve always seemed to me to be very stereotypical conservative and overbearing parents. They indisputably love Jesse, but they overly demonize his use of drugs instead of trying to help him with his addiction and probably put unfair expectations on him during his early years. All of that can build a deep resentment that will only continue drive the child and parents apart until one of both parties decides to be more supportive and open.

[@lakotagrywlf]

@@AlasdairGR yeah, the fact that the younger brother is also smoking… there’s clearly a pattern. People turn to drugs for relief. Relief from what is the question.

[@patty1h]

BB is one of the shows on my list to eventually watch, and luckily, S&N are watching it and I can watch along. This is saving me hours of TV time - I get the basic story while I watch their reactions, plus the discussion afterward to fill in the gaps.

[@danielharris5661]

They dont do it justice. Watch the series yourself...seriously trust me.

[@oneguycory3023]

That YO shirt about as messed up as my football shirts lol

[@soloneptune5637]

the badass walt.. he didnt even care about himself... blowing up the car at a gas station...

[@Francis-Kanja]

26:00 I love the fact that the car got blown up to bits.

[@harishariharan7664]

nothings gateway to anything... you just do whatever's around/available. And peers, they're a big influence on what kind of things you do. but availability, that's key :D

[@jaybird8192]

Nikki & Steven : You're the best, YO!

[@dns21st]

Wow. Imagine watching this in the dark like me at my home theater. Wow. Its way more affecting emotionally

[@Moakmeister]

“Jesus, Walt! You’re burnin’ the shit of of ‘em!” *ROFL*

[@margaretburnham5683]

I know you all reviewed this series several years back but you all are great at figuring out what’s going on with Walt and jessie and what could happen next

[@gpeddino]

Kinda useless trivia: the actress who plays Jesse's mother played Macaulay Culkin's mother in Michael Jackson's "Black Or White" video.

[@lucashawks5384]

Nikki’s face when he blows up the car is like I think I’m in love 😂

[@Daydreamer_92]

Just started watching u guys. The only thing I’ve seen from u guys is the breaking bad stuff and a few episodes of season 9 of walking dead. But I like your channel. It’s pretty entertaining.

[@mamadeereactsllc3152]

Love to see your reactions and questions knowing what’s coming you are gonna flip a wig!!

[@matthollands7771]

I like how each episode of this they react to, we are also finding out about Steve's history with "YO!" Funny & Educational 😄🤔

[@m10kalecala29]

The moment he said he had cancer, I kinda just froze there, cause it reminded of the day my mom told the family she had cancer, thank God she's ok now and doesnt have cancer anymore, but I remembered that night she just told us all of a sudden and I just froze there and didn't know what to do or say, I didn't even cry in the moment, I was in shock

[@alberttaylor2754]

It is soooo difficult to listen to you guys analysis after you watch an episode cause I have watched the series several times from beginning to end. its hard not to drop any spoilers on you but I wont. What I will say is that some of your analysis is on target and some is waaaay of. That is the beauty of Breaking Bad. Before the end of the series you will have been on a wild rollercoaster of emotions. I wish more series were this well written. Another great series from AMC is Mad Men, check it out if you have not seen it.

[@locomojoboy2]

Surprised there were no surveillance cameras to catch Walt sabotaging that car.

[@BluRayAddict1]

Great reaction guy's so happy your reacting to 3 episode's a week.

[@callewee]

I still can't believe you haven't watched this show before, but then again I'm catching my girlfriend up on GoT and eventually this too so I know how to present stuff more properly now with your help. Thank you guys! You're great, keep it up! :-)

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

Yo, yo, yo! Steven, I promise I'll never test your yo-ing skillz again! Can't wait to jump in! LET'S GO! (I'm rewatching with you guys. You're still the only reactors I watch!)

[@NikkiStevenReact]

thank you Lisa!!!!! We appreciate you.

[@SJRoe]

Walter is no longer the wimp who cows down to the bullies.

[@DaxRaider]

the money is from the dead dealers u remmeber it was wet xD its fine to give people ideas like that because cars not work like that xD a car not epxlode from that xDD also as son of a dad who would not even want to cure himself and act normal i would get pissed too i bet xD

[@staceypiper3319]

Loving the reaction to BB. Thanks for frequent updates

[@martinisrael7]

You are over 40,000 subs now. You obviously must do something special for 50,000. One of the things you can do is to make a summary of all the intros you made. I'm sure that 90% of the time we'll see Nikki shouting "NO!!!!"

[@sillymo3145]

Hank: I’ll always watch out for your family Me: 🤦🏾‍♂️ Steven: 🎯

[@MrDarkkamui]

I am so glad you two are reacting to BB. This is probably my fav tv show of all time ( watched the whole show like 6 times from start to finish ). Walter White is one of the best written and complex tv characters of all time. The first 2 seasons are kind of slow compared to the rest of the show but every single episode is so well written and interesting so believe me, it only gets better and better. BTW Walter doesn't want to do the treatment because there is no cure for him. He understands that the treatment is only prolonging the inevitable, his wife and his son don't seem to get that. I don't wanna spoil anything but Walter's past is very interesting so you will understand where he is coming from once they go into his backstory. I agree with Nikki that Walter should not have to suffer if he's going to die anyway and leave his family with a huge debt, though i can see Steven's side as well but again, the treatment is not going to cure him, watch episode one again, Walter himself says how much time he has left in a best case scenario while he is talking to the doctor from the first episode.

[@ianwestc]

Yup, I remember Gateway computers. They used to be called Gateway 2000 in the 1990s, when it was cool to give every company and product '2000' before the new century arrived. I worked at my university computer labs back then, and I remember we had a contract with Gateway for a whole room of Gateway computers that students would use to type up their papers and print out class assignments. I had a favorable impression of them because they were FAST. Well, fast compared to the IBM PS/2 computers they replaced. And no, we all are not yelling at you negatively. We love you guys, seriously. If you're ever in the California Bay Area, I'd love to meet you. :-D

[@jasonvogt1075]

Just started watching this show 10 days ago, I’m on season 5 episode 4 already

[@jacks.4390]

I didn't notice this when I watched the show, but did you guys notice that in the police room, Hank says that Crazy 8 was actually the one who ratted out Emilio, his cousin? (Sorry don't have the timestamp)

[@Arv4789]

33:19 I'm not yelling cuz I love people who think thing out be it the right or wrong answer I'm glade you guys talk this stuff out and thays why I love your videos from game of thrones on
