Interesting how you say the destruction of the RV marks the separation between the lighter part of the show and the darker rest of it, like going from day to night on a "Sunset".
3:36 hanks ringtone has always been so silly sounding to me like i wish they included it more. Imagine in oxymandias Marie calls Hank and you just hear this 😭
That would be amazing! 😆 It’s definitely very “Marie,” like she would have set that up on his phone. I guess it’s surprising that Hank wouldn’t have changed it! 😂
I never really realized how much the show changes after this episode. I’ll always miss the goofiness of this first half of the show, so many good moments bring on the darker half
8:25 Francesca making that call reminds me so much of when she first did that type of thing for Jimmy during their Howard scam by calling HHM to get instructions on how to enter the call
Maybe it's just me, but I love the 0:18 screen so much at the start of every video. As It let's me easily see every single apperence of any given character in the show. Like with crazy 8 when I tried rewatching the first 3 eps to keep track of all his apperences, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. And It helps with seeing what any given character was able to accomplish/impact the story with the time they were given.
Thanks so much for saying that, Tod120! You're the first person to ever comment on it, and I've often regretted that I decided to do this back in the first video because it's soooo tedious to put together! 🤣 I'll keep this in mind as I go forward. (In the 0208 "Better Call Saul" video, I went even further and did all the frames as "live," but that was DEFINITELY too much work! And maybe even worse for how you look at the intro.)
🤣 I had been debating whether I was going to go through with the same type of intro for the future Better Call Saul videos, but now you're making me think I should still do it!
I think one of the most interesting parts of this episode is Walts new apartment. I actually love the design lol. Probably would be a huge compliment to Vince lol
I love it when Skyler looks at the apartment in the next episode and says, "I guess crime *does* pay." It's like Vince is saying, "Yeah, my condo is pretty sweet!"
5:40 while i watched this show i always loved these moments where gus would transition from "civilian" to "scary" moments like this. Really shows how Gus (and the actor) can switch so easily and cover his true intentions
I've always wanted to try that coffee. I wonder if Walter White was explicitly named after Walt Whitman or if it was a subconscious coincidence, either is likely. God, the scene of them being trapped in the RVs is a crime writers wet dream. I love the story of how they had literally no idea how to get them out of that situation. I'm currently writing a character who gets out of things they realistically shouldn't have constantly and Breaking Bad is the goat of this. Walter figures out what to do and it took a writers room weeks to accomplish that, it's so enthralling to watch and even more to learn about. R.I.P the RV, glad they didn't destroy the real one
Cool, writing a character for a video? I think Aaron Paul said that they even thought about having Jesse propose they dig a hole in of the bottom of the RV. 😆 Funny thing about the coffee. Yesterday I happened to come across the website of Heisenberg Breakfast Co. in London with "Villainously Good Coffee." I guess that would be the closest to trying it for real! They don't seem to give Gale any credit, though. 🙁 I think Vince always hoped they would put the RV in the Smithsonian. They did put several props in the Museum of American History, but no RV!
Finally caught up after binging all these over the past week, this is good stuff. Great format and editing style like so many have pointed out, feels like compact episodes with some extras so I've been compelled to watch a few in one go. Keep up the good work, definitely bound for some notoriety.
i LOVE your channel you put so much effort into your videos and im sorry that im only just now joining, but keep up the great work! (sunset is my 3rd fav episode so im really excited that this one got a lot of fun facts!!!)
Have been watching u and at the same time scrolling thru the comments and man u're the most loyal to his viewers, never miss respond to a comment like wtf homie how u pull it off
Thanks!! (That would be ironic if I ignored your comment. 😂) RU-vid makes it fairly easy, at least for new comments. I don't always see all the replies to earlier comments.
here's a video idea for you: After you done analyzing all brba episodes, can you analyze the color symbolism in this show because the way Vince use color as a storytelling technique is very creative and full of hidden meanings.
I'm trying to remember if at any point in either show that the cousins are referred to as twins. I want to say I assume so, though finding out at some point that the actors are just brothers, not twins, gives me pause on that. The fans mostly refer to them as "the twins" but off the top of my head I'm not recalling a time where it's a thing in the shows themselves. I'm probably wrong though
Good point! I'm quite sure they're never referred to as twins, but it is funny how many people think of them as twins. Probably just because of them dressing/acting alike. I believe the only twins in Breaking Bad are Ted Beneke's daughters. 😂
This is not the only time this show (unintentionally) references it’s own logo, you can see this pattern appear as tiles of the hospital where Walt and Jesse have a discussion about how to kill Gus in Face Off
It wasn't a mistake that Walt didn't tell Jesse that Hank was looking for the RV. He knew Hank was probably surveilling Jesse in some way - he did try to call him but hung up when he had that realization. If he'd gone straight to Jesse's house he would've been caught, if he tried to call him he would've been caught. He knew that all that mattered was getting rid of the RV. If Hank had Jesse's phone tapped when Badger called it would've been game over man, game over! Walt just wanted the evidence GONE once he knew that Jesse and the Crystal Ship were already on Hank's radar. The mistake was letting Badger know what was going on and not thinking he might try to call Jesse - that was the mistake. Hank would've never chased Jesse to the junk yard, forcing Walt to have Saul have Francesca call as a cop saying that Marie was in an accident, and the RV would've been disappeared and Hank would've never been the wiser. He would've sat at Jesse's house all day eating fast food with nothing happening and never would've found the RV. Hank had EYES on the thing for crying out loud, all because Walt didn't keep Badger in check. "Hey, wanna hear something weird?"
I have another idea (I’m sorry I’m being annoying with ideas 😭), But since you done the last time we’ve seen characters in our real world timeline and the universe timeline so I think it’s a good idea to do the FIRST time we see characters in the BB/BCS universe.
That's already on my list, actually! 😁 (So is the earliest in-universe time we see each character, but that might be too hard to explain! "Last scene" was more popular than "last moment," anyway!) Thanks!!
Thanks! Sorry about the pronunciation! I’m terrible with that, and whenever I’m not sure about a member’s name I look for clues to help me (like if you happen to say it on your RU-vid channel)! In hindsight, “zwur-ons” makes a lot of sense!
John Shiban wrote and directed this one, being a bit of a forerunner to Peter, Sam, George and Thomas doing the same. In total, BrBa had ten writers, and only four of them didn't get to direct: the African-American one and the three female ones. All the white men did.
@@betterwatchtv TBF, that could've merely been coincidental. J. Roberts left before the writers (other than the showrunner) began directing, and perhaps neither Gennifer nor Moira wanted to do it or didn't have enough time for that.
the show starts with bodies being liquified in the SECOND EPISODE. the premise is about a man with terminal cancer, jane choked to death in her own vomit due to heroin, two planes collided and kiilled more than 100 people in the season 2 finale, how in the fuck is the second half "darker"????? less people die in the whole show and better call saul COMBINED than in that season 2 finale. there is a difference between the story taking itself more serious and being "darker", it was already dark, but it had humor, thats what it lost in the second half.
