What makes the final gundown of the Nazis so satisfying for me is a mythbusters episode proved that the whole contraption and shoot down is 100% possible
Hank should’ve had a hospital count.
Like 3 or 4
Jesse should’ve had a “Yo” or “Bitch” count.
I personally think "cripple count" sounds better
He has a members pass at the hospital
Walter leaving his watch was a gift from Jesse
It’s to show he’s out of time
@@ohyeahitsthatguy9454 It's to show he is letting go
fun fact: walt left his watch because they had filmed a scene that took place after he left NH, but he wasn’t wearing the watch in it so he had to just leave it somewhere to keep continuity. i love those explanations way more though
Fun fact: While recording this scene. Bryan cranston realized that he already knows what hour it is and didn't needed the watch so he left it there mid film. The producers liked this so much that they keep it in the show.
VRABO BINCE
the chess game shown in Ozymandias is perfect, as it shows that White has no way to win
He did win actually at the end 💯🤠
The way I see it is the chess game is from everyone else’s perspective- they think Walt cannot win, but truthfully he can. And he did
lemme just explain another bit of symbolism. The final episode called Felina because it is the name of the Dean Martin song that plays in the car journey. In the song the character is in love and kills someone, forcing him to run away. Eventually it gets too much and he returns, only to be killed shortly after seeing his love a final time. This is massive foreshadow which I love and noticed as I am a huge Dean Martin fan lol
"Felina" is named as such for a couple reasons; mainly "Fe" being the chemical symbol of iron, "li" being lithium and "na" being sodium. Iron is a major component in blood, lithium a major component in meth production and sodium being a major component in salt, which itself is a component of tears/sweat. Combined it is "blood, meth and tears" which is a play on blood, sweat and tears. It is also an anagram for finale, obviously.
@@fraserbeitzel3867 the song El Paso (Felina) is literally in the episode as so gotta call you out there lol
Yeah it’s also Marty Robins not Dean Martin
That song “El Paso” really describes the entirety of breaking bad in a way, it fits so perfectly not to mention that New Mexico is literally mentioned in the song.
Love the triple meaning of the final episode “Felina”
@@fraserbeitzel3867 I remember reading so many goddamn people posting this back in 2013 that, at this point, it's like hearing someone say "the sky is blue" and I want to dip my head into a vat of acid every time I hear it.
Granite State will always be my number 1 favorite ending of an episode, such ego shatter filled with hate and he knew he still got things to do and so he left with the breaking bad theme INTO THE CREDITS actually felt into of how badass it was
There will never be another show like Breaking Bad on the planet, and it's both a gift and a curse.
Bcs and Barry watch them but the ending of barry was meh
I'd say Better Call Saul was just as fantastic as Breaking Bad if not better.
@@MisterBobbyPin agree
Barry is great@@tisbutascratch9987
Agreed. Even though I think that there might be better written show than this (i.e. better call saul) i still think that its so unique in its presentation that it will stick to me till i die
I love falling asleep to a breaking bad video to be jolted awake by Jessie’s scream when Andrea dies. Really pleasant way to wake up it 3 am lmaooo
Hearing Beat Rice give so much praise to Breaking Bad proves how this is one of the most shows of all time.
I’ve never understood how Jessie concluded Walt poisoned Brock by realizing Hewell lifted his weed, because Brock wasn’t poisoned by ricin.
it doesn’t matter how he was actually poisoned, all that mattered was that jesse thought he was. huell took the cigarette and so jesse realized that gus had been basically framed by walt
I thought it was because when Jesse was accusing Walt of poisoning Brock, he says that Walt got huell to lift the ricin cigarette off of him (which obviously he did). so when huell pickpocketed his weed off him, it was confirmation that huell could do it, so could have lifted the cigarette off of him. even though it wasn't ricin that poisoned Brock in the end, the cigarette was still missing when Jesse never would've misplaced something like that
In face off, you see huell pickpocket jesse. He does take the ricin cigarette. So for him to do it again means jesse has confirmation the first time could've been him taking the ricin.
I think it basically it very confident that Walt found the cigarette at Jessie house, when Jessie was looking for it before Walt did. Then he realized Huey lifted his weed, he realized he visited Saul right before he lost the ricin
I think he just connected the dots that Walt had the cigarette lifted so he could frame Gus for brock being poisoned, and that he was the one who used the lily to do it. Knowing that the cig was lifted by Hewell really only means one person could be behind the whole thing.
I live for these videos thank you so much
your commentary had me cracking up lmfao the „fly II“ bit sent me
That Nirvana joke was top notch
Peak fiction by a Peak creator, can't imagine the start of the month going any other way.
The ending actually made me cry felina is my favorite episode
This Tierlist is S tier
Surprised you didn’t mention the camera zooms out at the very end the same way it did at the end of Crawl Space.
When i first watched the show, i didnt realise that walt was such a monster. But looking back at all the shit hes done, makes it clearly.
great video. did a great job at looking over all the episodes and went over all the important details of them.
Lydia doesnt/didn't plant the tracker that part of your review was incorrect. She gets a pass because after a few minutes, you hear either hank or gomey call a separate office of the DEA where a different agent took it upon himself to plant the trackers. She had absolutely nothing to do with it besides spotting it.
Also sorry wasn't meaning to come off as a dick just a spot where I was like wait not uh? Lol love your videos man!! They are amazing
Some hilarious editing in this great job!
Thanks you, idk how you do it but you did. I’ll watch this anytime.
Insanely good video for my favourite season of breaking bad
I love bruhs laugh😂😂😂 it always has me dying on the floor within seconds of hearing it
Madrigal is shockingly good for how overhated it is, there’s some really good acting by even minor characters like Schuler in the beginning.
29:00 you LITERALLY made me spit out my coffee laughing with that edit xD
32:50 LMFAOOO dude your videos are all so unhinged i freaking love them xDD
1. So glad you had rated ozymandias before doing the walkthrough
2. Two traits I had noticed Walt taking from those he killed was him in season 3 making a sandwich in and then cutting the crust off of it (krazy 8) and the way he answered and hung up the phone in 5x8 when he was talking with jack(Gus)
Something I've always wondered about Vamanos Pest. They're just a generic pest control company under disguise, but aren't the homes they cook in... pest infested? Wouldn't that contaminate the supply more than that fly ever could? What brings?
My theory is that the fly is always bugging Walt in the previous season as a symbol of his guilt for what he's done to jesse, his family, and others. Now that he's this far into the game, he feels no guilt for any of his actions that he has done or will do. Working in bug infested houses, mentally saying vamanos to the pest (guilt)
Thanks bro!
Have any of you realised that walts pistol was disintegrated in guses lab when walt and jesse blew it up in s4. After Walt kills guses men he drops it on the lab floor.
9:26 I am DEAD LMAO
Walt cutting off the crust was directly taken from Crazy-8, like that is a straight up copy cat maneuver. Can’t see it really being a theory, he DOES take from the ones he kills.
56:30 one of my favorite details is that Walt Junior originally told him that in the beginning out of disappointment that he was giving up and now he’s telling him that because he actually does want him dead
I just realized with the character trait theory, Crazy-8 got his nickname from a poker game while Walt used poker/gambling as a blanket of how he got his money 🤯🤯🤯🤯
58:35 the whiskey he didnt put any ice in it like Mike was doing before he died.
Walter eats sandwiches without the crust after kiling Krazy 8
Bro, you should definitely do It's Always Sunny next😊
To ‘hajiilee is probably one of my least favorite cliff hangers of all time. Especially knowing what happens next episode. When using a cliff hanger, you typically want to stop right before a major event or during suspension. (A.K.A the entire episode after it.) The timing of the cliff hanger in this episode always felt off to me, especially in the middle of a gun fight. In my opinion, having Jack towering over Hank laying in the sand with Walt’s distance screams coming from the car would’ve been probably the highlight of the series. The screen would cut to black and Walt’s screams of uncertainty and fear would slowly fade into the silent credits rolling.
First off, I love and adore the show. From the amazing acting, directing, and just the whole scenery/dedication to muddy realism. But the show has massive continuity flaws especially with the main characters, Jessie being the most consistent. It also kinda drags by the third season, but it was still good and believable then. It started in season 2 for me with Skyler. She for a couple episode is completely 180 who she was in s1 and for no good reason. Overreacting when at this point she knew nothing. Their son even turning weird like Walt had done something after everything was blamed on cancer at this point. To where Skyler hid Flynn's name change and threw her smoking in Walt's face when she didnt know anything and after Walt was begging on hands and knees trying literally everything to make up for it, but for some reason she never wanted to hear it and gave her sister more of a chance to apologize for a crime she knew for sure about and almost getting arrested for it than she did to Walt.. for having a medical problem... It picks up from there and Skyler comes back into character. Then S5 happened, completely ruining and insulting the audience, changing the characters. It starts off with Walt saying theres gold in the streets and starts selling again, which literally makes no sense in his character. He starts getting careless and greedy which i believe is the point and what eventually I believe what gets him caught even though I havent seen the rest of the season. Completely debasing his motive which was his family and since he couldnt quit selling before cause of working under someone, his character would stop, especially since he literally put his family in danger. Throughout the series he didnt want to sell, he didnt want the money but for his family. S5 completely removes this motive for no good reason. Jesse breaks up with his girlfriend on a whim, not even showing anything just a mention to walt, despite his character would not do that and wanted to stop selling altogether. He learned his lessons in the show, otherwise there would be no reason for those scenes of him caring for kids just to eventually care for his own, getting clean cause of his other gf od'ing. All those scenes are just thrown out the window here and for what? Am I the only person who feels like this?
u know the series is good when pretty much every episode is atleast A tier
Granite State has one of the greatest endings to an episode ever
LESS GOOOOOOO BOYS
Anyone who knows how defibrillators work knows that Germans suey was impossible
Yea defibs only work when the pulse is irregular I think. Thanks for mentioning it, friend :}
I think at 52:50 the stray dog resembles walt on that both of them are alone
Or that Walt’s a bitch. Either way, I like it :}
Live Fring or die
FUCK YES!!!! PEAK CZcams CONTENT ❤❤❤❤
29:00 lmaooo 😂😂😂
glad to see walt jrs breakfast counter go up to 18 in ep 2 as we hadn't seen much in season 4 as they were busy drugging n shit
Bro the ice tinkling made me die😅
"Great line of coke" hahaha
doing BCS next?
You know it, after I cover El Camino
excited for this 🙏
cant believe this made me giggle at poor ted in the hospital he does look like an egg 😭😭
Walt drank whiskey without ice after killing Mike.
Honestly Marie taking holly is completely fair
she didn’t know the full story
@@nickyeet4683 she knew she was helping a drug kingpin? That’s justified
@@Asoueisgreat yah? she never knew anything about her and walt’s relationship
@@nickyeet4683 Nuh uh, she did if I remember correctly
tbh i think your ranking should be relative. if there aren’t any c or d tier episodes, then what are you ranking against? especially given the existence of the SS tier. i just mentally subtract a letter grade from each of your rankings automatically so it’s a bit more evenly distributed
i was watching dead freight, when my 5 year old sister came in the room, and then Todd shot the kid... bruh
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba bonfire🔥🔥
9:25 if only she was successful...
I was so happy with this list, but Crawl space, over ozymandias??? I'm sorry but i really disagree.
some of us strugglin dont got waffle houses out here
mid season premiere (s5e10) shouldve been ranked S. that wait was unbearable.
We have a Dennys, but the closest waffle house is an hour away.
29:25: "Indian" should be "Native American"
This is one thing that will always bother me
Disliked due to the Dennys slander
the only reason i comment this comment is because i'm the 69th comment on this video (probebly not, thats just what my computer says lol)
First😊
there’s no waffle house in new mexico lol
I think Ozymandias is just way to overrated. Sure it was good, it just feels like a normal episode where things happen so fast. It's still quite an episode tho.
It's definitely over-talked about, but it's over-talked about for a very good reason
It's so memorable because it's where everything comes crashing down. For real this time. There's no going back.
I love Waffle House and Dennys butttttt Denny’s has a lot of variety
They go to Dennys because they live in the South West, they would go to Waffle House if that were an option
