"I don't even want to watch this show anymore." *thinks ahead of the literal next scene* Oh no.

Your right he knew the police were listening during that last phone call, he was giving Skylar a way out.

Wow, this is definitely the most emotional reaction I’ve seen to this

It always makes me really sad when Hank looks over to see Gomez dead. Imagine how close they were to each other, to see him dead and know you're next.

Ozymandias: “I’m aware of the effect I have on women”

"Okay, we're gonna stop for a second to compose" *Almost immediately start bawling again after jump cut*

The acting in this episode alone is impeccable 😭

Ozymandias, the greatest episode in television history.

Yeah, I always took that phone call to be Walt and Skylar saying "Goodbye" in code. He did his rant and then went silent, eagerly waiting to hear a confirmation that she understood that he was actually apologizing and trying to make things right by taking the blame off of her. She finally says, "I'm sorry" to play along, and he looks relieved because she gets it. So he can finish his lines. What a fucked up last conversation to have after 15+ years with your spouse.

Hear him say "You're never gonna see Hank again." Isn't as painful as seeing him say it.

this was the first moment that walter really wanted jesse dead. he was so angry and needs a scapegoat to cope with this. and yeah, skyler cought on that the call was fake. walter just gave the feds the info that skyler is innocent. he saved her from prison probably

fun fact: the scene with holly calling for her mother wasnt planned. The baby saying "Mama" was completely unscripted, she just started saying it during the scene and Bryan Cranston went with it. also: this episode held a perfect 10 on IMDb for 4 years now and is contender for the greatest episode of any television show ever

Walt took Holly cause she was, in his mind, the only family he had left who loved him and who he could still be with.

Am i the only one who thinks the "house" scene is much better then the "desert" scene? And the scene in the desert is already next level but the whole scene in the house with skylar running down the street might be the best sequence in tv history. Marvelous

I truly can’t help but feel for you both watching this. It’s such a scary scenario and both of you being moms, it’s really visceral. Thanks for putting it all out there for us to watch with you. We all know it’s a show but it’s raw and brings up very real emotions. Love for both of you. ❤️

Yeah, that was rough. The damage Walt did in the name of his ego is finally revealed. The one saving grace is Walt's phone call at the end, intended to get Skyler off the hook as much as he could.

I'm glad am not the only one who cried at " WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! WE'RE A FAMILY...... we're a family" and am a grown ass Man

this is the kind of episode where i constantly have to think to myself "Its not real. Its not real. Its just a show" over and over

Walt: "Say my name." Holy: "Mamama..." Walt: "Todd, i think i might have another job for you uncle."

You guys reacted the exact same way I did lmao I bawled the whole time 😂

Y'all made me cry again, best episode in the history of television.

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away

This has to be the hardest thing you two ever reacted too. for it me was harder watching you two then actually watching this episode when it aired.

Great, heartfelt reaction! 😰 And yes, Walt was lying on the phone to take the blame off of Skylar but he's not thinking of rescuing Jesse. He's still blaming Jesse for Hank. Also, the last thing he wanted to do was dropping off Holly at the fire station and then escaping with the vacuuming guy.

Your reactions reminded me of a great review of this ep that said something like "Game of Thrones can show dragons and zombies and thousands of people dying, and it feels like just another Sunday. Breaking Bad shows a family fighting in a hallway, and it feels like the world is ending."

Crying just shows the level of investment into the show.

Man i feel so bad watching this. They were bawling.

Some trivia for you (most of it from BBpedia): - The episode is named after the 1818 poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley about the inevitable fall of kings and empires; - The flashback at the beginning of the episode is full of symbols echoing the terrifying end of it: 1. Skyler packs and ships away a white statue of a clown crying blood belonging to Walt, that she's been able to sell for more dollars than Walt bought it, and that they both find now ugly. This symbolizes the end of the episode, when Walter White, sad clown with bloodied hands, is sent away by Skyler with his money, and everyone being disgusted by him. 2. They discuss the name of their upcoming child that Walt will abduct at the end of the episode. 3. The knives that Skyler will later use against Walt are conveniently set on the table, their handles offered in her direction. 4. Walt suggests a short break for the family the next weekend, like he will "suggest" they all pack up and leave for no return at the end; - Hank's death scene was shot in one take; - When Walt shakes hands with Jack you can see swastika on the outside of his palm, meaning he pretty much embraces his fate of an anti-hero by shaking hands with the worst form of evil; - The posture Walter falls into after Hank's death is similar to Gus's posture after Max Arciniega's death; - When Walt sits in the car after Jack lets him go he moves the mirror away because he's do disgusted with himself he can't even look at his own reflection; - When Walter looks at the bullet holes in his car, the reflection of him in the metal puts a hole in his forehead; - The pair of pants Walt passes while rolling his barrel are the same pants he lost while driving the RV, at the beginning of the "Pilot"; - Holly's crying "Mama" in the bathroom scene was unscripted. The baby's mother was standing behind Bryan Cranston on set, and the baby locked eyes with her and started saying "mama" over and over again. Cranston simply went with it and the shot ended up in the episode; - During phone conversation between him & Skyler Walt is perfectly aware they are being listened to so he puts all the blame on himself so that authorities would leave Sky alone (you guessed it right but some people are still confused about that); - During the game of chess between the firemen, the white king is cornered, but not checkmated or even in check. The king is simply going behind another pawn, buying time, but not advancing the game, which basically means that "The King's" (Walt's) story isn't over quite yet; - The final shot is a stray dog crossing the street after Walt goes into hiding. This is the third of three major "dog" references in the show. The first is in "Problem Dog", where Gale Boetticher is described as such, albeit in metaphor, by Jesse to his therapy group. The second is "Rabid Dog", which describes Jesse as a dog that may have to be killed before he attacks. This final one, the "Stray Dog", is an obvious reference to Walt, who is now homeless and without his family; - "Ozymandias" is the only TV show episode that has received a perfect 10/10 user rating on IMDb for over a year. It had maintained a 10/10 rating for almost 4 years, and despite lowering to 9.9, as of March 2020 it is back up to its original perfect score of 10/10.

I love the genuine and raw emotions from the both of you, and I love just the intellect both of you girls bring to the show. What I mean by that is your understanding of events and who the real bad guy is. Some people have a skewed perception of the show but that's the awesome thing because depending on who you are, you'll be rooting for either Walter or Hank. You girls bring so much empathy and understanding, I just love the maturity of your reactions. Thank you! PS. I didn't know both of you were moms until I read a comment somewhere here!

After this episode everyone needs a hug

strongest reaction ive ever seen to this episode, love watching when people see it for the first time 🤣

The BEST and perfectly SUITABLE reaction for this episode ! One of the greatest and RIGHTLY DONE episode of a tv show

In that exact moment (after the whole Hank thing) he DID blame it on Jessie and he DID want Jessie dead and was waiting for it until Todd interrupted. He blamed him for being the cause of bringing along Hank to that point and situation, for “snitching” and working with Hank. But in the other hand he does care about Jessie, he always did and still does. At the end of the day he was his professor, mentor, partner from the very beginning of this whole operation and a father figure in some twisted way. But for Walter there’s lines, his family is the highest line and Jessie is at a medium-high line, but he crossed it after threatening him and potentially is family on the phone with that “hit you were you really live” threat. But he definitely always had and still has affection for him, but he crossed the line. Walt even put himself at risk and gave Jessie an oportunity to talk even after trying to burn his house down and after Saul and Skyler tried to convince Walt to kill him.

Oh man, it was hard watching this reaction. I started crying seeing you two cry, 😂. Always great seeing true reaction though, thank you ladies, this was awesome. ♥️♥️

Really enjoyed your reactions, ladies. Imon, you're right about Walt's intentions with the phone call -- he said what he did to try and get Skyler off the hook. However, I don't think there's any underlying intention with what he did with Jesse. He was pissed off that Jesse was helping Hank and pissed off that Hank was killed, and so he just lashed out and gave Jesse up.

I love that Vince Gilligan said he never intended to glamorize the idea of cooking and distributing meth. This episode alone is the ultimate nightmare outcome for anyone doing this "for their family". So gut wrenching from start to finish

Damn y'all that was the most visceral reaction to this show or episode I've ever seen and I've seen a few. Thanks for the exceptional content as always. Keep up the good work and don't get too down. BB is peaks and valleys

Ozymandias was harder for me to watch than The Red Wedding.

Btw if you didnt understood, on the phone Walter played the bad guy because he knew the police was listening, so he made it clear that he was the mastermind in all of this and Skyler only a victim, for her to not get in jail or anything

Holy shit. I didn't even cry during this episode, but you guys made me cry 😭💔

Probably the most emotional reaction I’ve seen for this episode! been following your journey and even tho things get worse and more fucked up you realize in the end this is the greatest television show ever made. We all balled our eyes out, we love you guys!

Over the phone, because he knew the call is being bugged, Walt is trying to vindicate Skyler and make it sound like she had no choice but to comply with him because she was scared of him. He is trying to give her an out from all of his actions.

According to imdb, this is the best episode of any series in history

I think the most painful thing about the journey of the show is how much Walter Jr. loves his dad and just wants his dad, but Walt just doesn’t see it. I bawl my eyes out in the episode where Jr. goes to Walt’s apartment and Walt lies about why he’s a mess saying he “relapsed with gambling” (I think he and Jessie got in a fight). There’s a point when Jr. is tucking Walt in and Walt is not fully coherent and he calls Jr. Jessie. It makes my heart hurt so much for Jr. and I cry and cry and cry every time I see that scene.

Watching u two Crying ur eyes out was so satisfying reaction for this episode 😅

No matter how many times I've watched Ozymandias, it leaves me emotionally drained. What an incredible episode.

OMG this reaction was even better than I imagined. Am I evil for saying that? I think I am, because it looked like you guys (especially Abby) were having a breakdown. Now you know why this episode is so talked about. I'm among the group that considers this the greatest episode of any drama I've ever seen.

From this point, Walt's fully aware of the whole situation. It's over and he's now working on settling things. The first thing was to make it seem like Skyler was forced to be an accomplice.

I felt so bad for you guys while watching! But great reaction

For all those who may wonder what Ozymandias is a reference to, and why it is so perfect: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbachqtn05mbpKc.html a nice animation using Brian Cranstons promoaudio for the episode.

This episode was such a game changer for television. Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn won Lead Actor and Supporting Actress Emmy’s for their performances in this episode. Additionally, Moira Walley-Beckett won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for her screenplay. Ozymandias is also the highest rated episode of television of all time on IMDB.

Bad ass acting from the whole cast even the baby killed it, still one of the best episodes ever

I legit cried out loud when I saw that you uploaded part 2 straight after part 1, thx so much for not holding out on us

He was NOT protecting Jesse. He blamed Hesse and wanted Jack to blow his brains out in the desert

Little Holly actress should get an Emmy for her performance. Amazing job 😀

I love seeing how hard it was for Walt to make that alibi call for Skylar. It hurt him to say that

You guys are awesome, thank you for being so genuine and raw with your display of emotions. This shit hits so hard for people, but especially those that can somewhat empathize with the situation

This is the BEST Reaction of the BEST episode of TV HISTORY.

The dog at the end of the episode is a representation of Walt in his current situation. He has no home, no family, and is now alone just like a stray dog.

He wanted Jesse dead because at the time he blamed him for Hank's death.

This is how I interpreted the Walt pointing out Jessie situation. Walt was understandably pissed beyond all belief, when the episode started Walt wanted Jessie dead and after Hank's death Walt wanted something "good" to come out of the situation. At the time when the hit men said they were going to take Jessie for questioning before killing him Walt was so overcome with anger that he didn't care what they did to Jessie, he wasn't thinking it through. He doesn't want Jessie to suffer he just wanted him gone. I would say more but it would probably get into spoiler territory. Anyway, great reaction and have a good day.

oh man as excited as I was for your reaction I felt horrible watching you guys feel such pain watching it - woah that was intense. This show really gets to you with all the characters and how universal the themes are even though the situation is somewhat surreal.

Oh my gosh, I know this was a long time ago you made this video, but that was the most emotional reaction I've ever seen. You had me bawling right along with you. I actually cried more watching this reaction video than when I did when I first saw the episode. I wish I could give you both hugs right now. I was actually angry at "Breaking Bad" for making you cry so much!!!!!!!!!!

Coming on KZfaq to see if anyone else is an sobbing mess like i am, glad I’m not alone lol

This is the most genuine reaction I’ve ever seen to this episode

this is EXACTLY how i reacted the first time i saw this episode and especially the “we’re family” scene... absolutely gut-wrenching, cried my eyes out. I relate to their reaction so much

Such great writing and acting. But it only has the impact it does because of the time you've invested in these characters.

that family fight scene was so real and raw. I know you two have been through some 'things' so it breaks my heart that it hurt you two ladies soo much. walt's delusion that they can still be a family is shocking but at least he came to his senses and returned baby holly plus his attempt to minimized Skylar's involvement in the drug business by what he said on the phone call.

Super big kudos to you two for even making it through this episode. This episode is amazing, but it's also really hard to watch. I watched this episode when it aired in 2013 and I still remember it vividly. I was shaken to the core for hours, especially after that scene in the house and Skyler running after the car. Hope y'all enjoy the final couple episodes!

"I've still got things left to do"

I gotta say this is by far the best reaction to Ozymandias.👍

I have been watching your breaking bad videos every week and you girls deserve all the likes and subscribers in the world! I know this episode was tough to get through for some people it brings out emotional memories but you got through it.

I had the same reaction as you, so don't feel alone. It's a tribute to Vince Gilligan and the actors that watching this brought so much emotion from you. It's just that all the characters were so REAL!

I love your reactions, i just happened to rewatch the show for the 4th time in mi life (lol) in this quarantine, I finished it yesterday. Cant wait for watching your reaction for the last 2 ones

I've watched all ozymandias reactions in youtube more than once. this is definitely the best ozymandias reaction I've ever seen. and I don't think anybody will surpass you in the future.

Wow, what a reaction! Sad but great episode at the same time!

hank dying was tough but the part that really tore my heart out was walt taking the baby. skyler's desperation trying to get her back just hit me at my core

Just wait for the next few episodes and I totally feel what you guys are feeling when I watched this I couldn't think straight

You guys were the only ones who had exactly the same reaction i had while watching this episode, loved it!!!

Y'all have beautiful hearts. Kind of heartbreaking watching you two react to this. Wanted someone to come in from off screen to give you each a big hug.

Loved the shot of Skyler with a decision between the knife and the phone.

"We're a family! ... we're a family....." In truth, the second repeat of the phrase removes the apostrophe in the line delivery: "We're a family! (we) were a family."

YES!!! YES!! THIS WAS AWESOME LOL this is top five best reactions to this episode...and imagine waiting for another week to find out what happens next

awh bless you. thank you for an emotional reaction

Yeah, I was right. I was NOT ready for this reaction at all. I know you guys record these ahead of time, but I hope you both are alright after this.

I already watched this episode a month or two ago, but God, even when you know what is going to happen, you can't do anything but feel tense all the time, Ozymandias just don't give you any break. And now watching this along your reaction girls I promise I wanted to cry with you at the moment Walter said in a sadly way "we are a family". Nice video! I will check out your other reactions! Greetings from Mexico.

Well this was one of the best reactions I've ever seen, and of course it happens during one of the best hours television has ever produced. Thanks for sharing that uneasy moment with us!

I usually have a high tolerance for uncomfortable situations, but I remember the house scene being being hella disturbing when I first watched it. And every other time I've watched it after that for that matter.

NEVER apologize for showing your emotions!!! thats why i love watching you two!!! :)

In the heat of the moment, Walt blamed Jesse for hanks death and wanted to hurt Jesse as much as he could. I don’t think he realized exactly what the Nazis would do to Jesse though other than forcing him to cook. There’s certainly no way Walt could’ve known they would threaten Jesse with the photo of Brock and Andrea

Remember the chemistry lesson Walt was teaching to his class back in the pilot?

Everyones acting is so good in this show even baby Holly that phone call was to save her and she realizes it

After so many years, watch this Breaking Bad series over and over again, still i am and other ones get so emotional over the last episodes. Crazy great acting , totally deserved all the awards ! I cant hold my tears back there, never had this on any other shows. Just DAMN! I am a fu.cking MAN and still gonna cry about this crazy good series.... If you didnt, you missed something or you are just emotional down at that moment. Just watching your reaction again over all these years, thank you !!!

Once Abi started choking up in the first 5 minutes I knew it was going to be a rough watch for them

I'm supposed to be spending my Isolation being productive and improving myself, instead I'm here wanting to scream "ARE YOU GUYS OK?" at my screen, I love how drawn in you guys get with your reactions, keep being you!

I think you captured how intense most of us were feeling first watching this haha

I waited a long time to see your reaction to this one.

Walt always understood that you never, never, never rat to the cops. That's part of their code. Jesse knows it too (think how many times he lawyered up), but he was desperate to get Walt and so he ratted him out. Jesse was also willing to consider going to the cops with the Gale situation, but Walt knew better. Think of Gus to Hector: "What kind of man goes to the DEA? No man at all." In this world, a rat is less than nothing. Once Walt realized Jesse had betrayed him *to Hank* (the worst possible person), Jesse was beneath contempt.

I'm so happy that you are finally reacting to this episode but I'm mad that this journey ends in two weeks

you two are amazing, i love the emotion you show!!!! love you two!!!
