“I just want a whole show about how Mike got here” boy do I have a show for you

You two are gonna love Better Call Saul

Jesse just as a character in season 4 is one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen

One thing you’ve gotta give Saul, he’s loyal. He’s sticking his neck out for Jesse and Walter. It’s amazing how interesting the side characters like Mike and Saul become

"How do you top that last episode?!" Don't worry, they got 29 more episodes that somehow topple over that and each other.

17:42 "Next Up: The Fellowship of the Ring" lol wut

Left out one of my favorite exchanges. Gus: Are you asking me if I ordered the murder of a child? Walt: I would never ask you that. Gus: *stunned silence* This little exchange says so much. Walter is telling this man to his face, “I don’t know if you did or not but we both know you’re capable of doing it and lying to my face about it,” and Gus has no rebuttal. Walter has him pegged exactly. It’s a small victory for Heisenberg in this scene.

Not many people know this, but AMC very nearly cancelled the show right here. Could you believe what the world would have missed out on?

As good as Mike is, and this episode shows it, he gets absolutely played by Walt in the last scene. Walt knows exactly what to do, showing exactly what he knows Mike thinks of him: a snivvling little middle-aged guy who got in over his head, begging for his life, begging to speak to Gus while the entire time he just wanted to get on the phone with Jesse so he pretends to give up Jesse. And bam, message sent. Damage done. Full measure. Mike is dangerous, but Walt can play 4D-chess while he has a gun in his face.

"6353 Juan Tabo, Apt 6... Yeah." is up there with the "little tweak of chemistry" from s02 as my favorite moments where Walt takes control of a situation.

“How the fudge do Walt and Jesse take out an operation that is run like a smooth smooth train?” Oh just you wait lol

"Better call saul" Mike is what you want

"Next Up: The Fellowship of the Ring" Sounds good to me.

Half Measures and Full Measure are just masterclass.. it's also good to see you guys on board with Mike, he's such a great character..

Over a year wait between this episode and Season 4 Ep 1

There’s no other chemist to find. The premise is that Walt is one of maybe 2 or 3 chemists in the entire country that can do what he does. Gale only got to Walt’s level because he was taught by Walt. Then out of the very few chemists who could pull this off, you need one willing to “Break Bad”, which means you need one as desperate as Walt. Those parameters are impossible to fill. Walt is literally Gus’ only choice without Gale. From here on, keep this one thing in mind. Whatever happens from here on out, it’s because Jesse refused to back down with the drug dealers and Walt had to step in and save his life. This episode was a direct result of that and obviously it’s not over. The one thing that bothers me, is that Walt is hyper intelligent, so why didn’t he just go to Gus and explain that Gus’ employees murdered an 11 year old child because they were told not to use kids any longer. He should have talked to Jesse and they both should have gone to Gus. He’s a businessman and dead kids are bad for business. I guarantee Gus would have taken care of the dealers, they’re easily replaceable.

LOL, how is Arianna going to claim Walt isn't getting his hands dirty while he still has pieces of those drug dealers he killed hanging out off his grill?

That music you like when Mike is destroying everyone is the Beastie Boys :)

That was another + factor watching it live was that we never knew how many seasons were left or if everything would end right then and there. I remember the excitement, the suspense, Jesse's situation, Mike's hands being forced, all these moments that i would discuss with my friend who is no longer alive. Those are moments I'll cherish for the rest of my life. Thank yall for letting me relive these moments since the beginning 🥲 ✌️n❤️

The breaking bad rollercoaster is incredible, now it's only going up to the sky and shoots out

That Mike show you are talking about is called Better Call Saul

It’s interesting the Jesse bias that occurs. I wonder if it’s because he’s more visibly affected by this stuff. Because I don’t see him killing Gale as the short end of the stick. It’s a situation that was created because he went after those drug dealers. That started a series of events that led directly to Gale. In order for Jesse to survive going after those dealers then he has to eventually kill Gale. Even if he didn’t know it. That’s not the short end of the stick.

Maple cracked me up, chanting "Kill Gale" and "Murder" in her evil voice.

The reason I like Better Call Saul just a tiny bit more than BB was because of Mike and his back story and of course, because of the brilliant Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn.

Ariana, there is plenty of Mike and his backstory in Better Call Saul. As much as you want! He was my favorite character as well. And Johnathan Banks' acting is off the charts in BCS.

I don't know how I stumbled across your channel, but I just love your Breaking Bad and The Bear videos. Well done you two in front and unknown behind the cameras!

Better Call Saul is like 40% Mike lol

It’s funny as someone who likes physics I knew who Heisenberg was before this show and now seeing ppl reacting to Oppenheimer it tickles me to see ppl who’ve seen this show realize that Heisenberg was a real person.

Show made a big deal about how important good product is to Gus. Sure, he could replace Walter within a few days. But the quality would tank a lot. Depending on how... competitive some markets are, he would probably have to go down on price. Dont think he only supplies some random poor people on the streets, otherwise quality wouldnt be that big of a concern

gale doesn't seem like the guy that would leave his cd's data side up in a messy pile with a cell phone on top of them. Anyone else think the same?

Maple's bloodlust is adorable. :)

And it's super tragic for Gale too. The man had no idea that he's replacement for Walt who was about to get murdered. The guy was just under the impression he was gonna take over when Walt dies from cancer. This episode hits so hard, and Jesse .. I just want to give the dude a hug at this point.

“i can barely eat breakfast” LOL same Maple, same 😭

5:34 - All in good time, in 'Better call Saul'

5:31 watch Better Call Saul

5:25 Yes, we need a spin-off called '' Never Doubt Ehrmantraut ''

This is really the turning point of the whole show imo

"I want a show about Mike" y'all Better Call Saul....

never seen Maple so excited for a TV show murder 😂😂

So you want a show I need to talk to on Mike and his back story. Better Call Saul

For Mike's back story, you gotta watch Better Caul Saul after this

If you want more on Mike, then "Better Call Saul" is your next stop after this show

i remember watching this and waiting A YEAR to see what happens next

It was like 90 million off just the meth but he has all those other businesses to take car of and make money off of. Now Walter did get his hands dirty, he gased and strangled Crazy 8 and Emilio and he ran over and shot the drug dealers to save Jesse so that was getting his hands dirty Jesse only shot a gun once and that was when he had to shoot Tuco in self defense but wasn't what killed Tuco so this is Jesse's first kill and it was a nice person which is just the worst for Jesse because he only wants to take out someone who is true evil.

Everyone loves Mike... Though he's got his issues too. And there is plenty of Mike in "Better Call Saul". knudge knudge wink wink

Another body on the pile of so many victims. Gail wasn't a bad person, he may have been apart of a horrendous business, but he as a person wasn't someone that looked to harm others. Once he was laid upon the alter by Gus though, he had to be sacrificed. Gail wasn't the first and he certainly won't be the last. Another that was sacrificed was the remaining part of Jessie's innocence. He hadn't killed before, he was always able to avoid that, but here he finally had to give that up.

Shambala- The Beastie Boys is such a goated song, it’s the one that plays while Mike retrieves Chow

Id describe tuco like a lion, very dangerous, and unpredictable but Gus is a big game hunter.

Gus is very smart and strategic, but he’s furious that he can’t seem to predict or control Walt. Walt’s loyalty to Jesse is something Gus doesn’t understand. Jesse is reckless, so why would Walt want to put himself on the line to protect him? As Gus said during their first meeting - Walt is not a cautious man. The irony is that Gus wasn’t being cautious either by choosing to work with Walt. The cautious thing to do would’ve been to have Gale be the sole cook, but Gus couldn’t turn down the opportunity to push out the cartel by creating the best product. He hired a man who he thought had poor judgement. It was a success for a little while, but now things are spiraling and Gus needs to take back control.

I think the show you are thinking of at 6:15 was Mod Squad

"Quentin Tarantino has entered the chat" This episode was written/directed by Vince Gilligan and he loves feet.

Depending on how you count, Walt has directly killed 3 people at this point. Two witth car/ handgun and one strangled in the basement with a bike lock. He also killed Jane by omission of action, so he is perfectly able to do the dirty work!

Maaaannn ready for the next one. Thats a episode putting you on the edge of your seat.

I know things have been ramping up last few episodes. But there’s really no turning back now

No spoilers but it's shocking how close Maple and Arianna get when they get into their predictions. 😮

The gus glazing is unreal

Thanks y’all again for this reaction, making me realize how goddamn GOOD this season finale was

Half and full measures are probably my favourite episodes of this whole show, some others before and down the line are really great, but that Mike speech in half, and his scene in full made me fall in love with the character and made him my favourite. I think this is his first scene with Mike in breaking bad. Correct me if I’m wrong. Full measures is my preferred favourite of the two, mostly cause the pacing just makes it impossible for me to look away.

"Upsetty spaghetti" lol

jesse didnt get the shit end of the stick, gail did..

I would take Gus more than 3 days to get another cook. To be that skilled and be a criminal. He probably would have to make a deal with the cartel for product.

Poor Gale :( that last scene is always a tough one for me

Can’t WAIT to see their reaction next episode.

i just saw this channel and i finished breaking bad a little while ago and im on the last season of better call saul right now and i absolutely love seeing reaction channels especially seeing breaking bad ones after seeing most of BCS, its so awesome

the "70s spy mission" music is a track off a (great) beastie boys instrumental album from the 90s called _The In Sound From Way Out_

How long did we have to wait for the next episode? 14 months? It was excruciating

5:34 I guess we’re watching better call Saul next! Or at least I hope so!

Because of your obsession with purple. Here’s a little something from google: Marie's purple is the common link between Hank and Skyler, who represent red and blue respectively. Walter White represents green, and he sits between the yellow meth business of Jesse and the blue pureness of Skyler. Hank is orange, which sits between yellow and red.

this reaction felt a bit like 6am at an after bars house 😬😅

One of the best episodes of the show.

we are in the endgame now

How did I forget that is how Gale died? I’ve watched the show through twice. I think I must have blanked it out.

Maple doing REDRUM sold me

Up until this episode, the show has been cooking. Now it's time to FEAST!

"Upsetty spaghetti?" Maple cracks me up.

I believe I commented in an earlier season - seasons 3 and 4 are the BOMB! This is where things get interesting. It's going to be a rough ride. Enjoy!!!

Analysis on point for this one!

Mike backstory? Better call saul

Sorry, Arianna! The Gustavo train isn't stopping!

The song you’re digging is Beastie Boys

Want more Mike? Way more Mike in better call saul.

It could be fun to run a book of bets on characters in a show for a dead pool. I'm sure there are laws against monetizing that sort of thing, but maybe for low stakes at home it could be a group activity that interacts with the story. Probably want to watch it as released to prevent spoilers or cheating. It might be a bit of a chore to keep updating for Game of Thrones sized casts as characters get introduced. Might want to make less frequent updates in those cases though.

I hope y'all jump into Better Call Saul when the Bad is fully Broken. Bob Odenkirk did a damn good job on that show. It narrowly beats out BB for my favorite of the 2.

That song is the Beastie Boys

Want more Mike? Watch Better Call Saul!

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Breaking Bad!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

98 million in 3 months
