Should we cover Better Call Saul's finale next?

The fact that people still talk about this show after 8 year's just shows how memorable and deep it was.

I love how "Felina" is both an anagram for finale, but refers to elements (iron, lithium, sodium) that make up blood, sweat, and tears.

I think you’re wrong about what Skylar sees when she sees Walt and Holly. That is the moment that she sees the last glimpse of a happy father and child - the last glimpse of a family that will in a moment be truly lost forever. It’s a tragic moment and the climax to the story of the family.

Jesse crying and yelling out of a mixture of sadness/elation felt I was there with him escaping the nightmare. Jesse was my favourite character.

My favorite fan theory is that Walt is not ogling at the meth lab equipment out of nostalgia, but rather observing Jesse's work, and being proud of it in an odd sort of way... finally letting go of the idea that he has to have all the control.

"Felina" is even better than "Ozymandias" because it perfectly wraps up the arc of Walter White by having him acknowledge his true nature. Hearing him finally confess that he did it for himself to Skylar was a huge sigh of relief for not only her but the audience as well. He's a man that's no longer a good person, yet has a bit of humanity left to right a few of his wrongs all before meeting his fate.

I took Walter's death in the lab as one last final gesture of good will towards Jesse. By having his body found in the lab, maybe it would absolve Jesse of any connection or involvement, which would give him a better chance of starting a new life free of the meth. As law enforcement would assume it was Walter all along still cooking the blue meth.

One thing that is understated is Anna Gunn's fantastic final moments on the show where she looks at Walt before he leaves and you can tell how much she loved him before all of this. That former love is seen on her face. He truly broke her heart and the fact that she just showed this with her eyes is absolutely brilliant.

One of the few good shows that didn’t totally botch the finale.

To add to the horror analogies, remember when Jesse described Walter as the devil? In Felina, we see Walter become this devil-like creature on a quest to destroy and punish the wicked (himself included). Moreover, Walter also manages to free Jesse, secure the financial future of his family, and give Skyler a sense of closure. I think it's neat how the finale uses Walter to restore a sense of Justice in an otherwise unjust world, without letting us forget that Walter is a monster.

The few seconds where Walt watched Walt jr walk into the apartment I think were some of the best in the whole series. Walt knew it was the last time he’d ever see his son. He just stood there without any distraction and fully soaked up every bit of those few seconds. It was a very short clip and had no dialogue but at the same time it was very powerful.

If the show was filmed from Hanks perspective Walter White would be praised as the greatest tv villain of all time

Breaks my heart everytime: “No no NO NO! I tried to save him!” You could hear and feel the pain in Walt’s voice. It’s so sad, Hank was a good man. He started off cocky and macho but he became a Humbled Samurai

Most shows are not perfect with its ending but breaking bad is.

walter watching walt jr. enter the house in this episode is one of very few scenes in the show that genuinely made me break down. he could never truly say goodbye to his son, whom he loved more than anything in the world, and junior's final words to him were "just go die." so he had to stand there, watching his beloved son go into his house, only maybe a hundred feet away, but unable to reach out to him or let him know how much he loves him, even one last time before his death. he did everything he could to atone for the mistakes he made, but he still had to accept he had gone past the point of no return, and he still had to die knowing his son would always hate him. the episode doesn't really linger on that scene for long, but it's one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the show for me.

Honestly I think you misread the expression on Skyler’s face as she watched Walter’s goodbye to Holly. In my opinion she saw a last fleeting glimpse of her husband who was once a completely ordinary man, and I think in that moment she was seeing what could of been but would never be. I think she was mourning the loss of the future she would never have. I don’t think she was frightened by him in that moment

It's really hard to put into words how absolutely masterful Breaking Bad is. It's the absolute perfect drama series and I will go to my grave saying it's the best television show ever made. The fact that Vince Gilligan was able to make Breaking Bad and then go on to make Better Call Saul has basically cemented his legacy as something that will never be forgotten.

I love that Mythbusters proved that the machine gun shootout was possible. Made it all the more badass.

No joke, There has never been a rewatch of this show where I didn’t cry at the final scene where Walt accepts his fate and dies. As soon as the “guess I got what I deserved” line of the song hits, waterfalls. Every time. Perfection.

The ending when he pointed at the pressure measurement, he smile. The reason why Jesse only get 96% pure meth is he set the pressure wrong, on that day, he noticed it and adjust it perfectly to the point his meth can be at 99.1% like Walt. That's why Walt smiled, because he'd passed the formula for his beloved Jesse

This show is so unbelievably good. It has been said to death before but really, Bravo Vince!

El Camino the added movie was something we didn't really need, but we were thankful we got it. Wrapping up Jessie's story in a neat little bow. Breaking Bad was a masterclass in how to write a show. Needs to be played in film school across the country.

I really loved the scene where Walt threatened Elliott with that money for a very simple reason: it was for his son, not himself. Even though he told Skylar that he did what he did for himself (which is very much true), providing for his family was always at the very least a part of his goal. In the end, he was able to give his family a financially comfortable life, save his partner and avenge his brother-in-law.

Breaking Bad's finale was perfect because it was faithful to Vince's vision. They didn't plow it into the ground with 20 seasons, they kept the narrative exactly to what it was meant to be, and when it was over, they let it end without squeezing every drop of money they could from it. Alot of shows can learn from them.

Literally just ended breaking bad a few minutes ago, and then i came across this video....honestly one of the best tv shows ever made

SPOILERS* Anyone else notice how Jimmy McGill finally admitting what he is and what he wanted in front of the court mirrors exactly the moment Walter does this in front of Skyler? Both extremely relieving and gratifying for the audience to hear honestly out of the anit-hero. Vince Gilligan and his writers are masters.

I bursted into tears watching Jesse finally drive away in the El Camino laughing and crying at the same time. That poor kid went through so much...

Why does no one talk about that last look Walt and Jesse have? A nod and slight subtle smile from both, no words were needed. It still said so much.

Better Call Saul’s Finale was a flawless masterpiece as well

I love how they tied Badger and Skinny Pete into the finale. It was a well needed laugh for such an intense episode.

I just finished the show. Such a satisfying finale

Imagine ur Vince and Peter and the whole writers staff and manage to stick the landing not just only once but twice. Unmatched writers....

I want to point out that, and this has probably been said before but, when Walt tells lydia that he only needs 2 minutes to tell her what she needs to hear, exactly 2 minutes after that she tells him he needs to leave. Love the detail that Lydia kept track of the time because of the nature of her personality.

Just finished watching. When I used to hear people saying that this was the best show ever, I thought it was an overstatement, but after finishing it, for me this is not only the best show ever, it's actually the best thing I've ever watched in my entire life. The only series I give a 10/10 without second thoughts.

The scene with Skyler, his daughter and son is so hearthbreaking and even horryfying. I can feel the PAIN of people who remember the family they once were. But it's gone forever.

Adding to the scene of killing Jack, Hank refused to beg for his life when prompted by Walt, before Jack killed him mid-sentence. Whereas Jack tried to barter for his life with the money, but Walt couldn't care less at that point, killing him mid-sentence.

I loved that shot with Heisenberg spray painted on the wall of his old house. Almost seemed like a way of taunting him and telling him, “this is what Heisenberg left you with, this is what Heisenberg gave you”.

I always wished Walt and flynn could have had that final closure. The entire show, flynn adores his father the entire show, but once he thinks he killed Hank he can never forgive him. Truly heartbreaking, as Walt always loved his son although he made mistakes

Watching Jesse's reaction when escaping and driving away gives me tears of joy everytime. He deserved a happy ending more than most characters.

How can Breaking Bad wrap up everything in such a satisfying/perfect way in 1 episode. Yet Game of Thrones rushed/ ruined everything in that final season😔

7:33 I don’t know if it’s intentional but when Walt is looking at his reflection, the reflection actually looks like his bald look. It’s as if he’s looking at his past Heisenberg self and saying goodbye.

I remember I watched the whole show in 2019, before all the memes thankfully, and the feeling I got when I finished Felina are to this day unmatched. It was perfect. It felt like every episode of BB got a pay-off. It’s crazy.

The framing of the shots of Walt and Skylar in their final conversation is a masterclass. The way the door frame creates a thick wall between them as they talk is so good. They're completely separated, in different worlds now.

There will never be another show like Breaking Bad, pure masterpiece, although Better Call Saul came damn close.

Masterpiece of an ending

I cried at the end and felt a sense of loss for weeks afterward. I've binged it so many times through the years and yes, it was the perfect finale for the greatest show of all time!

this show has not aged a day, and i'm confident that it probably never will. it's perfect from the second it starts to the second it ends.. (yes, even with Fly)

The writers were able to craft great moments and endings for these characters because they made great characters that they understood. They let the characters lead the way and it all made sense. Writers sometimes force things to happen and it doesn't feel right. The Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul writing teams were incredible at this.

I never noticed that he shoots jack whilst he's speaking, the same as he did to Hank

I might be 8 years late to it but I watched the whole series this month and finished last night. The finale was just superb. A powerhouse of writing, acting, direction and cinematography. If only more shows were this satisfying. I can only think of breaking bad, Mr robot, gravity falls.

The machine gun moment allowed me to put words on something about Walt : do not let Walter White do things as he pleases. Before entering, he’s driving his car to the lot, the guy orders him to park somewhere, Walt disobeys and park where he need the car to be, and the guys, like many before them, just brushed it off as Walt being old grumpy guy, which lead to their death.

I love how it shows that Walter became the shows villains. He lost everything from his family and friends. Even though he has his name heinsberg he lost all of his humanity. Cudios for the show writers for not having Walt be redeemed.

"He's not gonna make it out of this episode alive" Uhm what? Like from the very first episode it was abundantly clear that the show would conclude with Walters death.

I think the best part of this show is how the story developed in a way that there were no winners in the end

I don’t think 4:42 is accurate. She’s still holding on to the good that she sees in Walt after all this time, even with the bad. Especially after the honesty he finally offered her and a final goodbye. She recognizes the bad but it’s not a moment where she is looking down on him as a monster, but more as a person with good nature who has done wrong things. The destiny of life choices has resulted in this path but she can’t help but wonder and see the good in his care for the family that remains. It’s human nature, bound by blood.

Happy to see someone talking about Felina in detail like this, it’s a phenomenal episode that often gets overshadowed by Ozymandias.

Not only is Felina my favorite episode, but the 1st scene you show in the video is my favorite scene in the whole show. “I did it for me… I liked it… I was good at it… I was alive.” The way Bryan Cranston delivered those lines were so good to the point that I had goosebumps. Watching it for the first time had me speechless and made me rethink everything that happened in the show. Randomly it clicked and it was then that I finally realized he stopped doing everything for his family long ago. I was one of the people who was rooting for Walt till end, even with all the bad stuff he’s done I convinced myself he was doing it for a good reason. However Walt’s character and writing is still so good to the point that he is still my favorite in the show even now. Breaking Bad’s writing as whole is on a different level, waiting for the day I can forget as much stuff as I can about the show so I can rewatch with all its glory.

I really and greatly love this series to truly show a man descent to evil from facing death and how he changes. Even every character in the series react or face death, killing someone, seeing someone die, hurting someone and many more can truly change a person like Hank, Skyler, Mike, Jesse (basically everyone are impacted) This show has everything, great humane complex character, terrifying villains, gives you so many raw emotion, story progress and change based on the characters decisions with heavy impact and risk. It’s truly a masterpiece.

He's not an anti-hero, he's a straight up villain

I literally just got finished watching Breaking Bad for the first time ever and needed someone to explain to me how beautiful the finale was, because I can't put it into words myself. Then this pops up in my recommended. Thank you

I think the finale from the clever name to tiding up all the loose ends as well as bringing justice to himself (dead) and Jessie (free) was perfectly story arced in an unexpected ballet perfectly paced and brought together with the satisfaction of all the pieces gliding in place with zero gaps in between.

Just rewatched Felina and after years, and even after knowing the ending, that scene still gets my heart pumping. He could've been killed by Jack's men multiple times over, but he manages to take out the entire crew. Such an amazing way to end the show ❤

What I absolutely LOVE about this show is the gradual way Walt changes, it's not too subtle nor is it too sudden. There wasn't ONE major turning point during the show but several 'minor' yet important points where we slowly see Walter transforming into a monster. Also this is the only show that made 2 years of a character seem so quick YET so long. When I finished the episode I was shocked to realise it has been two years for Walt yet when I actually try to remember all that lead to that moment, two years really was the perfect amount of time. So many things yet it felt so quick, just like real life

It was a perfect show. Pilot, finale, and everything in between

it wasn't just the perfect finale, it was the perfect end of a life, achieving all his goals, having his morals accomplished, having nothing else to do in his life worth doing, and dying surrounded by his own creation of the business he had made

Just finished breaking bad for the first time ever. Absolutely loved this show, this could possibly be the only show I'll ever rewatch.

That analyze was really really good, keep going that way I love it

It had perfect finale, perfect prequel and perfect sequel movie too.

Walt is definitly not a "Anti-Hero". He constantly chose to go after the dark path that he had many chances to leave.

You haven't seen a perfect Anti-hero or a perfect final episode until you've seen Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2 seasons, 50 episodes in total).

He never used it but yet he was more addicted to meth than anyone else in the show

I consider Breaking Bad to be an artistic miracle. An accident even. Credit goes to the entire creative team of course, but I don't believe anything like this can ever be re-created no matter how hard people try, even by the same team.

Lots of love and appreciation for this series. Incredible to see Walts changes throughout the series,and find it tough to find anything that tops this series, or this finale! This video captures all the magic and gives a great overview. Glad to be finally reviewing this series if anyone would like to stop by our channel and say hi!

I saw that show 2 Months ago for the first time since everyone was talking about it(back then) I thought I gotta watch at least the first episode to know what it‘s about.. Wow. Best series ever, by far. Glad I watched it

The showrunners managed to pull off not one, not two but THREE perfect endings. It’s rare enough for a single show to pull of the ending in a satisfying way but these geniuses have managed it with Breaking Bad, El Camino & Better Call Saul & it makes me incredibly happy to know I can rewatch these shows start to finish knowing they don’t get worse in the later seasons they get better as it goes on and they all nail the landing.

Yes...and I cried for over half of it. The emotional weight of this episode is always too much for me, and even in this video I had to keep myself under control from not sobbing.

Another amazing detail is; in the first episode when Walt is diagnosed with cancer right at his 50th birthday, the doctor says he has 2 years to live. The last episode he turns 52 and dies.

I saw the end as Walter finally grasping upon the last threads of redemption that were left to him. He finally TRULY did what he pretended to be doing (setting up financial stability for his family in his absense), and finally doing right by Jesse at no personal gain and offering Jesse a chance for revenge, even though he doesn't take it.

The only way I can see a better finale for this show is Walt dying at the exact same place he started his first cook, as well as where Hank and his money is buried. I think playing Frank Sinatra's "My Way" would be a more fitting song in my opinion. Still a great finale.

Just finished it and i gotta say it's the greatest show I've ever seen, it's truly once in a lifetime type of perfection and I'm so glad i got to witness this greatness, the finale was too perfect i couldn't believe how such an awesome ending can be brought to life

I’ve watched the entire series thrice. I get an urge to revisit every few years. A masterpiece.

I just watched the finale after my very late watchthrough, it was perfect, this show is the best I have ever seen. I cannot believe i waited this long

I am currently flicking through Breaking Bad, I wanted to watch all the Saul Scenes again, post BCS, finale, but when I come to Season 5 I just find myself watching whole episodes now...BCS was Great, but BB is still outstanding

Dying on the instruments with which he did what he felt most alive doing was perfection

I think one of the greater unsung beautiful qualities of this glorious piece of art, is that from beginning to end there are subconscious ques that wordlessly suggests what the director truly wants us to understand, despite all the lies the characters tell one another. I deeply appreciate that this breakdown artfully expresses this rare and powerful quality of the visual arts medium.

Loved the show and still do. The character development from Walt was totally believable, he evolved from a soft boiled egg of a man to a dangerous maniac and it made sense. The eye for details is amazing, the people in the show feel real, I could go on and on. This show really deserves all the hype, it's a masterpiece👌🏻

David Chase: _"So we wanted it to be ambiguous, and let the audience interpret the endi-"_ Sopranos Fans: _"Yeah, he's dead. So anyways..."_ Vince Gilligan: _"He's definitely, absolutely, completely 100% dead forever."_ Breaking Bad Fans: _"Okay but hear me out for a sec"_

This is the best show I've ever come across. It caught my interest in season 1 and I kept pushing on people. I'm glad I can I can binge this whole series whenever, versus watching it week to week. This show will never grow old to me. It's a pinnacle of show writing.

that scene where the screen pans from the support column revealing Walter was with Skyler the whole time shookt me, that was a simple yet top notch cinematography brilliance.

I am so glad you made a video reminding us why Breaking Bad the show and it's finale were kept on such a pedestal. I think that because the Better Call Saul finale was so BRILLIANT AND PERFECT but also recent, that people really do think that Breaking Bad and it's ending are inferior in terms of storytelling and execution, when the fact is, if you re-watch the finale, especially if you are watching all five seasons and gradually getting to that ending, Felina is just as beautiful, dreadful, tragic and impactful as the first time. I am actually kinda done with the whole discourse cause I think it's really stupid when people compare Saul Gone and Felina. I have always felt that while both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul explore moral decay, they also explore many other themes that separate those shows from each other at their core. The bigger genius (apart from the fact that both shows are essentially masterpieces in their own right) lies in the fact that those themes are explored in a way that they complement the other show. Breaking Bad laid an exceptional foundation for BCS leading to a constant sense of impending doom and dread as we know the future, and BCS in turn added more depth to various aspects of Breaking Bad. Like you said, "Felina's willingness to explore dubious morality, in ways that are equal parts heartwarming, heartbreaking and horrifying remain unmatched to this day". Saul Gone on the other hand, while also exploring dubious morality, was essentially Jimmy's redemption, him suffering consequences for his cruel actions (Walter truly could not have done any of it without him), and a beautiful beautiful conclusion to his and Kim's love (BCS was, after all, a love story, unlike Breaking Bad which was a family drama, that family of course including Jesse). It's just... these finales are so different from each other. These characters and their arcs and what they go through are so different from each other. These shows are so different from each other. I mean sure, there are similarities because after all, they exist in the same universe, but their execution, their objectives... I just feel these are different shows at their essence and that needs to be respected and appreciated. It needs to be remembered why Breaking Bad is and will always be counted among the best tv series of all time and it's effect on pop culture (something that not many shows can match) should not be undermined. And a bit off topic, but I really really love how there endings are enhanced by the episodes immediately preceeding it. Ozymandias adds to Felina's genius, yes, but all of season5 Part B adds to it too and is perfection, similar to how BCS Season 6 Part B as a whole is GENIUSSSSS. Also no disrespect to BCS intended (might not seem like it but I love that show with all my heart, the amount of times I have cried over it istg). (PS- It's totally fine if you prefer one over the other, that is not what this comment is about. Me, personally, I would die rather than choose one)

This show and Bojack Horseman are nearly perfect shows

legitimately getting emotional just being reminded of all of these moments and ends to arcs in the finale

I loved the subtle detail of when Walt tussles over Jessie to try and save him and catches a bullet, indicating he calculated the M60 to have a killzone gap of a single body taking cover not two stacked.

I shit you not I’ve watched this show in it’s entirety atleast 35-40 times since 2015 and it still never gets old to me , I could watch the show with the episodes put on shuffle and watch random episode after random episode and get thru every episode … I’m not claiming this as some bragging thing , just saying to me.. that’s how good this show is

When watching Breaking Bad I always knew that this was without a doubt the best show that I had ever seen. But it was when watching Felina that I realised how absolutely genius and amazing this series had truly been.

I loved this show with all my heart and I always will, it had the absolute most perfect beginning, middle and end, there wasn't a second that I didn't like

Not only that, but also the ending when Walt dies in the laboratory gives the police the version that he is the one who kept making the blue meth, so as Walt always wanted to have public recognition for his creation, he will be the one. last and the only one who made blue meth until the end since only he and Jesse knew how to do it, Jesse will never return to that business and Walt less clearly. So he leaves the world with a stamp of recognition and satisfaction that he was and will be the only one who could bring the blue meth, considering that Jesse "faked" his death so to speak.

The 'Something out of a Halloween movie ' is perfect and something I never thought of before. Felina is actually kind of horror novie'ish... Walt following people into their houses in the shadows.. Walt walking around a empty house.. Stalking them in the restaurant and using poison. And to wrap it up he kills a bunch of people with one gun and not pulling s single trigger... Walt does kind of go Myers/Norman Bates mode in the last episode.... And everyone he comes in contact with he is actually fucking with and has different intentions then they think... (Accept Skyler. She was the only person in the last episode that he was completely honest to... well and I guess Badger and Skinny Pete. He did no harm to them)

A classic that will continue to stand the test of time.
