Walt’s sigh after that roof meeting is so good. Makes us think he was relieved Gus is dead in the moment, but the sigh is really of relief that Brock survived

There is one thing: See, Walter(not Bryan Cranston) is a BAD actor, every time he lies it was obvious, him being a bad actor is a rule of BB universe, and the screenwriters broke their own rule to trick us. In that particular moment he suddenly becomes phenomenal at acting that skit out for Jesse. However, It can be chalked up to death threat. Thank you, Kailyn and Eric, very much enjoying your reactions, can't wait for Season 5.

I always wondered what Walts neighbor Becky thought of his bomb recipe he left all over the kitchen counter, when he asked for her to check the coffee maker

This also explains why Gus was suspicious of getting back into his car at the hospital after Jessie told him that Brock was poisoned. Since Gus didnt poison him, he knew this was highly suspicious and figured out that he might have been lured to the hospital. Which essentially is true. One of the best episodes of the show because its the first time that you, the viewer, get played by the great Heisenberg and only at the end do you realize what he did and what a monster he has become

So where does it go from here? Gus is dead All the Salamancas are dead All the Cartel are dead The lab is destroyed... So how can there be another 16 episodes??? That's what everyone was asking themselves after S4 of Breaking Bad, where does it go from here? Well, no spoilers, but strap yourselves in for the best season of the entire series!

Walt is such a mastermind. That plan was so intricate. A lot of people question where the final season can go, I'm here to tell you...to even higher ELITE levels.

Just wanted to make sure you guys caught on to the double-meaning of the episode's title - "Face-Off" ;)

Now u know why this episode was called "Face off"

god it was so satisfying watching last episode with yall saying Gus poisoned the kid knowing what was coming. walt would never do that right? i cant wait to see yall react to better call saul either. ive actually just finished it recently and ive got to say i may like it even more than breaking bad, just because im able to actually like the main character more than i can like walt. edit: yup worth the wait. those reactions are priceless lol

24:49 Dude, I cannot unsee that! 😂 I don't know which I replayed more, the reaction to Gus, or the reaction to the very ending! Well worth the wait to get to this episode! There's the Jane episode, there's this one and then.......😶😶‍🌫 You must be three or four episodes into season 5; how do you like Walt now?😆 Thanks Eric, thanks Kailyn!

I'm kinda sad that you guys don't laugh at Saul's jokes a lot and kinda ignore it 😭 His humor is such a great contrast with everything that's going on 😭 That's why we love him and that's why he has his own showww

It’s funny that ricin is no longer an obscure poison and it’s directly because of this show

“ is he legally allowed to shred his files “ 😂

rip to the legend. i love u gus fring!!! best villain ever

Now hanks suspicions will be proven right to the whole DEA since Gus was found murdered with a member of the cartel

That zoom to the plant is when everyone starts to realize they've been rooting for the bad guy the whole time. Love this show!!!

'Becky the neighbor' lady is Vince Gilligan's mother. I can't believe he put her own mother in danger. Un-Bravo Vince. 🥺

The series finale of Breaking Bad is considered to be one of the greatest of all time.

Mike is still out there.

Its so well done. You can very subtly see Huell pocket it after frisking Jesse. Walt is not seen or heard from between Skyler leaving the house and Jesse confronting him. "YOU DONT EVEN BELIEVE THAT!" in hindsight is blatant gaslighting. Gus operation spent the entirety of S4 pushing Walt into a corner, trying to make him feel small and completely under their control, not realising how far he could go if pushed that far. And things ironically lined up perfectly for Walt: no Mike, Hector pushed so far hes willing to die if it means Gus dies too, Jesse being that angry with him ironically making it work better to flip his emotions around. Walter is the true villain of this world.

Walt played you like a fiddle.

Thank guys for this amazing season! As always it's always a great pleasure seeing your faces during the episodes; mostly I don't even have to hear what you are saying. See you in the final season. Kingsday greetings from the Netherlands!

Nice sweater, Eric!

Because Walt saw the lily of the valley plant that he had and the gun pointed to it and he knew that he could make Jesse think that Gus poisoned Brock and he could get Jesse back on his side to help him get Gus because he knows Jesse cares too much about kids and he knows that Lily of the valley,if given the right amount will just make him sick enough to be in the hospital but not kill him but he had to get Saul to lift the Ricin cigarette so Jesse would think it was the Ricin that poisoned him.

Some people seriously say that it should have ended at season 4. But I disagree HIGHLY. Just wait until you see the back half of season 5. Literal peak of the series without a doubt.

18:42 Gus changes out his "tie" tie into clip-on. Cautious fellow! 20:38 This show didn't want us to forget Tuco's bell, so we heard it in Hank's elevator, Junior's website, etc. Now we know it sounds _wrong_ !

Remember, the only reason for all of this was because Combo got shot. Think about it, if Combo hadn't been shot, Jesse wouldn't have sought revenge and everything would have been fine. And Walter wasn't going to fall out things off with Gus to save Jesse. We call this the butterfly effect. This shows how high quality the series is. An incident that took place in the second season was not forgotten and remained effective until the season 4 finale.

*First time I saw this, and it zoomed in on the plant, I immediately said to myself that this is the greatest show I’ve ever seen. That solidified it for me. Next season is just on another level*

We all felt like this would have been a great ending…….hold my beer.

I really hope you 2 watch Better Call Saul! You should, since you like this show so much!

you guys should really consider watching The Bear after this, its a super real show n it was just renewed for a 4th season

I knew you guys were gonna love the finale and your reactions did not disappoint. Can't wait to sit through the rest with you guys. 😃

Great reaction and 2 THINGS I can clear up for you. 1. No way in this world anyone other than GUS kills Tio as long as GUS is alive!!! 2. If you rewatch the episode where Huel frisks Jessie, you can literally see the pack of cigs being taken off of Jessie and in Heul's hand. Finally, I find the "Face Off" scene having a lot of layers. One of them is a lot of people call Gus "chicken man" in this series. I find it fascinating that an actual chicken can still take steps after being literally decapitated. So Gus taking a few more steps after the bomb literally exploding in his face (then fixing his tie-typical Gus) to be very fitting and very cinematic for his final moments alive. I literally thought of this for the first time today, which is a great example of how this show can be rewatched many, many, many, times. Ive seen this entire series about a dozen times and wached several dozen reactions. You guys are doing a great job, and really enjoy this journey. I cant wait for the 5th and final season, by far the best IMHO.

I just don't know how Walt got in and out of that nursing home without them seeing him

Noticed how Gus's partially blown off face reminds you of the half way burnt face of that pink teddy bear from earlier in the show?....genius writing lol

"Either things get resolved or they don't, and if they don't then the rest of show is really Walter and Jesse being on the run trying to outsmart Gus". Welcome to the club of sweet summer children who thought once someone resorts to pipe bombs to get out of a scrape, that they just might see sense and want to pack it in if they get out alive. Honestly, they could have wrapped it up here so neatly with an extra twenty minutes for closure and everyone at the time was wondering the same thing "How the hell are we going to get another sixteen episodes out of this." Gus made such an impression for so long it didn't seem like the show would work without him at that point. Boy was I wrong 😅 can't wait to see your faces when Vinnie boy redefines the term "Face off" 🤣

Skyler is freaking out that her husband just made a bomb and killed three people just like that

The music playing as Gus walks into the nursing home is truly epic. Kailyn is right that it has a very "Western" feel like the old time Westerns of the 1950s. But it's also signaling that it's his walk of doom - that he's a dead man walking to his fate. In the previous episodes where Gus asked Hector "is today the day?" he's referring to the fact that he had always tormented Hector by saying that one day when he least expects it he will kill him. No matter how bad Hector was, it's not cool to torment a completely helpless disabled person. So when Walt comes along offering him a chance at revenge, Hector is all in.

Oh there is sooo much more lol

Remember how Saul used to go see Brock to pay their rent with Jesse's money? The thought is that Walt put it in a juice box or something and Saul went to visit Brock somewhere and gave it to him

Be careful with this girl man .. this is not a sane person's reaction..

HERE WE GOOOOO

It's perfectly right, that Gus still walked out of that room when he actually should be dead already. After all he was the "chicken man". Chickens also still walk for a couple of seconds after their head is cut off (or so they say. personally I never saw it)

Gus wasn't trying to kill Jesse - they were just making him cook.

Breaking Bad was up against The Walking Dead for budget $$$. Eternal thanks to AMC for letting BB have that extended final season.

Hector won't rat on anyone but he knows they have their eye on him so he is just making him think that he did so he would go back to try and kill him

Walt in season 2: "did u bring a meth lab to the airport?" Jesse in season 4: "did u bring a bomb into a hospital?"

The ending of Face Off is one of the greatest twists if this show, and of TV in general. Still many more twists to come. 28:10 The way Walt most likely gave Brock the ricin was explained by the show creator Vince Gilligan at Comic Con 2013. "My writer's and I would always tell the story to ourselves of "The Evil Juice Box Man". The way we worked it out in our timeline, he had just enough time to do it, but it would've been very tricky indeed. It was improbable perhaps, but not impossible that he could've once he got that idea spinning the pistol, and sitting out by the pool and waiting to die essentially, and then looking at that Lily of the Valley. Contemplating the idea at that point, I think probably what he did is he kind of crushed some of this stuff up, put it in a juice box or something, being a guy who's a teacher he knows his way around a school, probably got into Brock's nursery school, swapped out. That's our sort of inner fiction, inner story the writer's and I for how it happened. But it would've been tricky timing, but he was a very motivated individual at that point, he had to save his family. So that's my best guess on how it actually happened."

How do you hate Walter after this? At the very least, you have to be amazed by the finesse with which he executed this. Also shows the importance of crawl spaces. When you are cornered, left with no options, you get into your crawl space, go psycho mode then come out to turn the tables, no need to spend money on therapy

So many times in this show, we've seen Walt lie and manipulate those around him, but as the viewer you've always been in on it - there's always some justification made by him, that the viewer sympathizes with because the story's told from his perspective. And for the first time, the audience gets to feel what it's like to be lied to by Walt. I remember feeling the same way when I watched this though, had absolutely zero idea where the story would go from here 😂 The entire last story arc is just *chef's kiss*

It's an this point Walt, your favorite methamphetamine manufacturer, starts to become more and more hated lol through all the bad stuff he's done this is when I'm like Walter is the bad guy...

20:43 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Is there any question at this point that this is one of the best series ever created?

Kailyn + Eric, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!

The producers did not think there was any chance of cancelation after Season 4. In fact, the season was praised as one of the best seasons in television history. Time listed Walter White's "I am the one who knocks" line as one of the best television lines ever. But both halves of the fifth season received overwhelming critical acclaim and took it to a whole other level and particularly contained the best episode of any television series in history. It won BEST DRAMA at the Emmys for BOTH Part 1 AND Part 2 of Season 5. It had been nominated for all the other seasons, but it hadn't won even though Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, and Aaron Paul all won multiple Best Acting Emmys.

You know how when a chicken loses it's head, and it still walks around? When Gus’ head gets blown up, he does his signature reflex & fixes his tie, just how a chicken would. It's even a callback all the way back to 0201 with the two-faced, one-eyed teddy bear from the cold open. Farewell Gus 👋 you were one of the best to ever do it. Gus' death: impressive. Lily of the valley reveal: mind blown 🤯🤯 For the first time in the series the audience gets to feel what it's like to be manipulated by Walter- firsthand, successfully, with the exception of the minority who guessed it right most likely when Gus stopped walking towards his car in the parking garage. When the detectives are interrogating Jesse over the ricin comment they say the doctors are beginning to think that it was ricin that poisoned Brock- goes to show just how thorough Heisenberg was with his plan.

Yeah Vince Gilligan confirmed in an interview that Walt went to Brocks school and gave him a poisoned juice box. As with every other reactor zero sign of you saying 'we got it badly wrong in the last episode'

OG cartel members would pretty much rather die than rat to the DEA, thats why gus wasnt worried about hector talking

They aren’t making him kill himself. They were making Jesse cook.

I would call this episode the climax and the rest of the show the resolution.

The reason this episode feels like an end is because it was created as a contingency to wrap up the series if AMC did not pick it up for another season. In cable, the production company assumes the majority of the production finances for the first four seasons, but if a show lasts more than four seasons, the majority of the production finances then shift to the network that is airing the show. Madmen, another show AMC was airing around the same time, ran into an issue with the network not wanting to pay additional costs for production and upping contracts to keep it going. That series went on hiatus for almost two years until they could hammer out a new deal. And part of AMC's cost-cutting measure to funnel money to Madmen was also to fire Frank Darabont from The Walking Dead (he developed it for television), which itself was already hugely popular show for the network heading into only their second season, as well as filming almost the entire second season at one location to save on building sets and location expenses. The creators of Breaking Bad didn't want to deal with anything if AMC tried to hold up a fifth season, so they made this episode as a way to resolve as many lingering plots as possible, while also ending the series with a teaser for a potential 5th season return. They also took interest from Netflix, who had acquired the streaming rights and wished to move the show over there, if AMC decided not to continue with the show. Ultimately, AMC agreed to a fifth (final) season of 16 episodes, bumping up the episode count to an additional three beyond the previous three seasons... but AMC then decided to split the episodes in half and hold back the final eight for another year, thus making two half-seasons that they could milk for another year. On a side note, Darabont later sued AMC and 10 years later walked away with a $200 million settlement.

Now go back and watch the pink bear in the pool. Forshadowing.

Just saying, the next/last season is the best.

There is nothing better than leaving work and finding that my favorite reactors have just watched my favorite episode of my favorite show. Kudos!!!

One of the best episodes in any show, ever! Thanks for sharing :)

This seemed a lot smaller in document form but here it is, a tiny fanfic I did a few years back. *Walt and Hector* Casa Tranquila, Hector's room. Walt's diaper bag sits on the floor, open. Beside it, there's a yellow pocket tool case. Walt is kneeling as he works below the wheelchair. He looks up at Hector, who eyes him with a unique expression. Walt looks back down. "I'm sorry about Tuco." He says, fiddling with a small, precision screwdriver. Hector is breathing heavier, his lip quivering, his anger at Walt hidden behind the fact that the man has literally offered him vengeance on a silver platter. "I'm sorry about the others as well," Walt adds. "I didn't know their names." Hector looks at Walter, his eyes blinking rapidly, darting over as if gesturing to something beside or behind him. Walt scans the area before seeing a framed picture on the bedside table of Hector with a young Tuco and his cousins. Walt stands, brushes his hands together, and approaches the picture. A silver Evil Eye rosary necklace is draped over it. Walt slides it off gently and picks up the frame to examine it. Removing the back panel, he sees the handwriting on the back of the photograph. It reads: 'Tío Hector, Tuco, Marco, Lionel. 1991' "Marco and Lionel." Walt says softly. He sets the photo down, draping the necklace back over the frame. "I'm sorry about what happened. It was--all Gus. I managed to figure out what his game was, but that--" Walt hears Hector's heavy breathing and turns around. Hector is glaring heavily, impatient. "Yes," Walt says absent-mindedly, shaking his head, his hands waving before him. "Sorry." He returns to work on the bomb. A minute or two of silence follows. As he finishes, he returns the yellow case to the diaper bag and stands. "You're alright doing this, you're certain of it?" Walt asks. Hector nods after a few seconds. Walt adjusts his jacket and secures the bag. As he approaches the door, he turns back to Hector. "Give him hell."

It's hard to get into these videos when the picture for the show is so incredibly small. There are channels out there that have it 3x bigger

6:15 one of the subtlest clues of the episode: what files are being shredded? For those who hadn't noticed; they were school schedules. Another clue so you could see the end scene coming. So in all likelyhood he got Brock's school schedule through Saul, and maybe made sure he drank a juice box that was poisoned.

oh wow Kailyn looks like a doppelganger for redhead redemption...another youtuber

The ending is powerful because we understand Walt is the true villain

Has ANYONE ever enjoyed this show more than Kailyn? 😂 (Speaking of Jokers....)

its just so well written,nothing hangingg,everything that was in the show,had purpose and was interconnected thruout all seasons its brilliant,season 5 is at least 40% better than season 4,YEA its THAT GOOD!

When I watched this on premiere I was so afraid the show would be going downhill from what was supposed to be the perfect ending that would satisfy most of the fanbase. And after the whole thing I was perplexed of how those writers could surpass this masterpiece here...

Watch Fallout.

i was going to say it last episode but thought best to wait. watch the scene again with jesse and gus in the chapel. thats how gus "knows" and doesnt go back to car. he first wants jesse to get back to lab but once he tells him he was poised gus' attitude changes. because he knows he didnt do it

Never seen someone laugh at Gus blowing up…weird

Watch back when he was spinning his gun and the first two times it pointed to him, the third time it pointed to the plant.

Rip Mark Margolis (Hector Salamanca)

It's all good man..😎

Season 5 will blow your minds, so excited for your reaction

Honestly, I thought breaking was the greatest series I've ever watched.. until i saw Better call saul.

Right here I abandoned Walter 😫

The magnet in the elevator cracked me up and then when Jesse said "did you just bring a bomb into a hospital?"

“Gus planted that there” 😂

They wrote this to work as a satisfying series finale because they still weren't sure whether they'd get another season after this one. Then at around this time, tons of people started binge watching and catching up on it, and it suddenly was one of the most popular shows around.

Remember 2 episodes ago when Walt is sitting in his patio and spinning his gun, and it lands on the flower pot.

Don't worry Season 5 is the best season IMO

22:30 They're forcing him to cook, since he was refusing to leave the hospital because of Brock.

Great reaction! Fun fact they got the special effects artists from The Walking Dead TV show to make Gus's blown off face. That's why it looks so gnarly!

There's a fan fiction that say's Gus left the room after the explosion because he hated Hector so much he refused to die in the same room as him 🤣 BEST reactors too this show! Can't wait for season 5 🙌

The last 15 seconds of this episode is probably my favorite moment of the entire series.

Walt spinning the gun on the table. First 2 times it pointed to him. 3rd time it pointed to the plant.

Blue means power. That's why it's the color of Skyler, who wore the pants in the White household before Walt's cancer struck.

It took them a long time to figure out what Gus would do in his death scene. It was Giancarlo who finally said he should fix his tie.

Cast your minds back to the previous episode, when Walt was sat in the garden spinning that gun. The last spin ended up with it pointing to the flower pot holding that plant, Lilly of the Valley. Hold onto your hats; Season Five is the best yet, and features some of the greatest TV ever broadcast.

How can this be the end of the show? Walter still has to pay for all the terrible stuff he has done.

I think first time viewers always hold out hope that at the end of the day Walt will be a good person but the ending really hammers home how terrible of a person he is and it only gets worse

0:50 that cough edit has me laughing like crazy

The music track is called 'Goodbye' from the artist 'Apparat' from his album 'The Devils's Walk'

Even Hector's bell has its own story. Bravo Vince.
