Breaking Bad Season 2 - Part 2 | Canadian First Time Watching | Reaction | Review | Commentary 

Appreciate taking the time to do these edits for YT.

“I hate seeing Jesse upset.” Godspeed.

"competent people doing things competently!" yea george is gonna love Mike

"You weren't supposed to wake up!" "Ever, or...?" Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

"It was Ignacio!" and "Lalo didn't send you?" People had to wait for about 10 years to find out what he meant by that.

“This is your brain on drugs” is a reference to an old public service commercial that used an egg frying to describe your brain on drugs. Sometimes it’s useful to be old.

There are programs for cops going through PTSD and things like that. But what Hank was saying about “kissing your career goodbye” is that you can been seen as unstable or unreliable and get laid off as a result of opening up.

The character of Mike came into creation b/c on the day they were shooting that clean-up scene, Bob Odenkirk (Saul) had a prior engagement and wasn’t available. Turned into a great character with a lot of depth…out of a scheduling conflict. Pretty cool.

The titles of the episodes that had the B&W scenes spell out Seven Thirty Seven Down Over ABQ

I remember reading that ‘Saul’ was created as some comedic relief to balance out how bleak & depressing the show was getting. And he turned out to be a great character with his own attributes.

In the overdose scene, Bryan Cranston said his emotion was 100% real because in that moment he saw his daughter's face, not Jane's.. so he was envisioning his own daughter dying from an OD. Insane acting by Cranston.

You're the first people i've ever seen who picked up on "s'all good, man".

These guys might be the smartest reactors to the show I've watched so far. And I've seen plenty.

I Love how George always understands where Walt is comming from and Simone always understands where Jesse is comming from lol The first reaction wherewalt said "were gonna use castor beans"...George "Ahh Ricin!"

Also, recognize that Jane's dad improperly says "Jane" instead of "Juliet" shortly before the crash.

I think the main aspect of the lifestyle that's appealing for Walt is the recognition he gets for making not only the highest quality, easily recognized product, but in large quantities as well. Being a high school chem teacher gets him zero recognition or respect.

Walter beat the hell out of that paper-towel dispenser because everything he did up until this point, he did because he was sure he was going to die. Now that he's in remission he's going to have to live with all the things he's done.

Thanks for these edits, George! Take your time uploading seasons. It's like watching the show in real time again, with two new pairs of eyes and hearts!

14:50 I love how unnecessarily beautiful this shot of two men taking a piss in the desert is

"Better Call Saul!" Me: "Roll credi...wait, wrong show."

when Walt hesitated to help Jane when she was choking on her vomit it was like Heisenberg was like the voice that told him to let her die but Walt wanted to help her. it was like a Jekyll & Hyde situation right there.

“He’s a recognizable face”. Ominous foreshadowing.

19:55 Yes, that's exactly it. Walt's mad that he could actually defeat the cancer and probably have his crimes catch up to him. The impending death which he used to justify his crimes is no longer there.

Part 2 came quick you guys smash this out!

"He's like this show's Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction." Yes, that's actually perfect.

Also that “butter” isn’t butter it’s cream cheese. I never noticed it til you guys pointed it out

Pink teddy bear falling from the sky on Jane's wall at 55:58

I REALLY appreciate you dropping this on youtube! Possibly the best show ever, done by my favorite reaction channel!

Saul Goodman...one of the best characters ever created! Enjoy him.

These breaking bad reactions are by far your best work yet.

"You weren't supposed to wake up" "Ever?" God this show is brilliant.

" it's messy good, like a full english breakfast " . I salute you sir, as an Englishman

26:55 This is a fun moment. Simone is clearly excited to recognize John de Lancie and says, "That's Q!" But George, who isn't familiar with Star Trek, must have thought she was saying, "That's cute!" like it's cute that Jesse is meeting his new girlfriend's dad.

George: is this an episode where everybody crosses the line? What's Walter's line? Me: 👀👀

You finally got to meet Mike, my favourite character from two shows.

"This is your brain" [egg] "This is your brain on drugs" [egg smashed into a simmering pan] Was an old anti-drug ad from the 80s.

I like the way you guys picked up on the white paint and doubted the extent of the rot in the crawl space. Its in all in Walter's head, its self inflicted. Just like him cooking meth is inflicting damage to the structure of the family. By not buying the white paint and confronting the guy in the car park, he is choosing to cast aside White (which would fix the rot) and pursue his alter ego, Heisenberg.

Saul, Mike and Gustavo will have huge story lines that surpass Breaking Bad, while still in the same universe. You will have even more incredible reaction material to watch if you continue the journey.

I felt, when Walter saw her die, it was the moment he fully went over to the dark side.

You were the first reactors to notice the trucks that Badger pointed out were the ones that pulled up

“Stay out of my territory” One of my favorite lines of the series.

Loving this... thanks for not making us wait for this second part. Thanks!

Its just whipped butter or regular buttermilk for pancakes type butter. We have all kinds of butters over here including regular yellow

Funfact: The episodes with the foreshadowing in the beginning are titled: 7 30 7 - Down - Over - Phoenix - ABQ

...the thumbnail makes me want to strongly recommend Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

"You weren't supposed to wake up" "Like ever?" fuuuuuuck

The one actor from the Mandalorian..yeah, he's famous for THIS. The reason he now plays a villain in a bunch of things.. it's from this 😂

¡Hola! I am sure many of you already know this, but in spanish single L and double L, "LL" don't have the same sound. So, for example "polo" and "pollo" don't sound equal, neither mean the same. I say this because George said "polos", but is "pollos". "Polo" means "pole", like in "the north pole" == "El polo norte", or "el polo positivo y el polo negativo" == "The positive pole and the negative pole" "Pollo" means "chicken", so "los pollos hermanos" == "The chicken brothers", or "pollo con arroz" == "chicken with rice". Pollo sound like , polo sounds like that sport with horses . More examples: Here in Spain there is and island called "Mallorca" (Ma-yor-ca), not "Malorca". "Horse" is "caballo" (sounds like ), not "cabalo". "Paella" (), famous meal from here, is NOT "paela" 😀

This is all a tale of Walt's hubris. The writing is all brilliant and you have now Mike and Saul Goodman. When you finish you need to watch all of Better Call Saul. As stated, Mike is a very competent person. You will enjoy watching him 🙂

The OMG counter working overtime today

25:08 this is a reference to an old anti drug commercial where a guy says "This is your brain." while pointing to an egg. Then he points to a hot pan and says, "This is drugs." Then he cracks the egg into the pan and it starts frying, then he says, "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"

🧙‍♂️ 49:24 Irony : in french, Frodo and Jesse are dubbed by the same guy (Alexandre Gillet)

This is the first time I heard the connection of the lawyer's pseudonym "'s all good, man." I like his character even more now. Gus was also in The Usual Suspects as the detective who got a drawing of Kaiser Soze from the burned witness.

That scene with abusing his son with the alcohol as a power trip is one of the hardest scenes to watch I've ever seen, mainly for personal reasons, but it resonates across all people.

The whiteness or yellowness of butter is caused by the cow's breed and diet. The most common dairy cows in the U.S. are Holsteins which tend to produce whiter butter. They're also not generally grass-fed (which would darken the yellow), so your typical butter in the U.S. is fairly white. This is especially when compared with margarine, which has a coloring added to it to make it look more like traditional, grass-fed-cow butter.

I love watching you both see Walt's turn more and more. The scene with Jane is so powerful as you see how much he could care, but then his ego/drive for money and power is so much more. I can't wait for you to see the later seasons.

You guys are smart and provide really insightful commentary. You're the only ones I'd want to watch Breaking Bad with.

Finally the real main character is here: Saul Goodman

About the butter: Cow's butter is yellow because of a chemical their body produces when they eat grass. Butter made from winter milk (when the cows were being fed grain) or other mammals like goats will be white. Most producers will dye their butter yellow so that it has a consistent colour year round, but some dont. Even most goats butter is dyed yellow because that is the colour people expect, but it is naturally white.

The episode titles for those that feature the black and white cold opens in season 2 spell out "737 Down Over ABQ"

I always felt that a younger Walt, full of himself, left Gretchen for Skylar who was younger than both he and Gretchen. He gets Skylar pregnant, an accident, Walter jr is born with a disability (not a bad thing, but I'm petty sure than made him more rethink his actions) and then watching Grey Matter become a success kinda killed that ego until he found his success in Meth.

The reason Walt gets so upset when he finds out he's healing is because he was using the cancer as a justification for all of his bad behavior. So when he found out he wasn't dying, he realized that he had done it all for nothing and would now have to live with himself after killing people, dealing drugs, etc.

I'm so glad Simone recognized Q!

These Breaking Bad reactions are awesome. And wow, what intuition from Simone about the airplane crash!

Just finished watching this and part 1. I love the way you edited this together. It’s cool to just continue the episodes and keep the story moving. Look forward to the upcoming seasons!

Anytime someone says to me "have a safe flight," I reply "I'll do my best!"

You guys have to do "The Menu". That movie is just insane!

For what is worth marsupials are born even less ready, they grow in their mommas pouch after they are born.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for making these available on RU-vid. Its so fun watching your reactions to one of my all time favorite series.

Wow, I didn't expect a back-to-back BB reaction video haha thanks, guys!

The "put a dollar in my pocket" is a real thing. I had a civil issue and had to give him a dollar.

Since you started watching this I've been waiting for that scene with Walt and Jane, it's harrowing. It absolutely defines Walter as a character and Cranston as an actor

This is just one of those shows that you love the main characters but you freaking loathe them in the same breath.... and Poor Jesse... just a magnet

You can get Funyuns in Canada. At least in Newfoundland, anyway. And they’re great! For about half a bag…lol!

I knew Simone would light up when Q appeared.

I understand Simone's take on The Wire and the reason we all felt that way is that that show is incredibly realistic to the t, it feels real because it is the closest we can get to those situations without actually being in those situations.

Bryan Cranston can emote in a bathroom like nobody's business. Hitchcockian levels of lavatory interest.

Jane would have Died anyway if Walt wasn't there, he just had a chance to save her and he didn't

Y’all got the best thumbnails on RU-vid

Good job Simone! I've watched so many reactors to this show, and they never seem to pick up on the significance of Jane's dad's job until the crash actually happens. (Frankly, I expected George to predict it instantly.)

I LOVE the final shot of the season because Walt is wearing a pink sweater and you see the pink bear sinking deeper and deeper as it fades to black….

I love it when Simone’s face lights up anytime a TNG actor pops up.

Butter from grain fed (aka less healthy) cows is much lighter in color than butter from grass fed. The same is true for eggs. The yolk is more yellow from grain fed, confined chickens, whereas pasture raised chicken eggs have a deeper orange color.

George: "Why is that NOT free? That's crazy!" This American: Yes, George it is. It is ABSOLUTELY BAT-S**T CRAZY!

Didn't think I'd be writing a comment about human gestation periods... but here I go. It's long been thought that humans give birth to, comparatively speaking, underdeveloped young because of the fact that we walk upright. To maintain upright, bipedal ambulation (walking) the hips have to be narrower to support the weight going straight down onto our legs, and there's more weight put on just two limbs - instead of it being spread over four. That, and the pelvis size being smaller means a baby's head can only be so big before it's simply too large to pass through the space in the pelvis. If we gestated to a point where a newborn could start to walk on the same day, the gestation period would be much longer (like 21 months-ish) and the baby would be much larger. All that being said, newer thinking and research suggest that we haven't adapted to giving birth at an earlier state when compared to other apes (chimpanzees and gorillas, for example) who have very similar gestation periods to humans. It's also thought that the ability to give nutritional support to a baby whilst pregnant has a cut-off point. Once that ability to pass nutrients and support a baby inside you hits that cut-off point, the baby has to be born no matter what. I could have written a lot more, but I glanced at the sizable chunk of text I'd already written and... thought it best to stop. Just thought it might be interesting if you ever wondered why we give birth to completely helpless babies compared to the rest of the animal kingdom which births live young. It wasn't necessarily an evolutionary solution to walking upright and having narrower hips/smaller pelvis size... but then again, that could have some impact on it. Still not absolutely set in stone, but this is a brief look at what the general thinking on it is so far.

It's been a while since I watched the entire series, but one thing I absolutely remember about it is, whether it's an episode with a lot of comedy in it, or a totally grim episode (like the last one in this reaction video), this show was always completely riveting.

I love the Mike character so much. And the story behind his casting makes it even better. Saul was originally supposed to come over to clean up the scene but Bob Odenkirk had a scheduling conflict. Vince Gilligan was a fan of a cop show Jonathan Banks was on (i'm blanking on the name at the moment) and this small bit role evolved into one of the best characters in two of the best series ever aired.

Jane dying, and the plane crashing.... you're blaming Walt (for not stopping the overdose). Wouldn't she have died even if he hadn't gone there?

John de Lancie does a brilliant job as Jane's dad. As much as I love him as Q, it's great to see him flex his dramatic muscles in this. Apropos Q - when George says "I love seeing competent people doing things competently", I really wonder why he never got into Star Trek. It's basically competency porn.

I love how Simone was jonesing to say “that’s Q” And as a Star Trek fan I’m surprised she didn’t realize nothing good comes when Q shows up

I love how Jesse really becomes the heart of the show.

i know John de Lancie from this show. I love that he shows up and immediately Simone goes "that's Q." :)

53:04 he was one of the bad guys in beverly hills cop :]

Now look at the names of season 2 episode one Seven thirty seven,episode 4 Down , episode 10 Over ,episode 13 ABQ, Seven thirty seven down over ABQ Little easter egg about the ending of season 2

My wife and I have consistently been referring to Giancarlo Esposito as “The Chicken Man” ever since we watched this show 😂

I'm probably paraphrasing a little bit, but Gustavo Fring wasn't intended to be such a major character in the show, but the actor who plays him, Giancarlo Esposito, made an intentional choice to play him as though he had a secret. The writers/directors loved the idea so much that they made him a much more significant character than he was ever meant to be.

Ohhhh i did not see how retroacticly going back to watch breaking bad could spoil something, now that giancarlo is super famous.

Good edit you two! One of the best parts of watching the show Better Call Saul is remembering and picking up all of the references and Easter eggs from BrBa. Seriously, I highly highly recommend you follow this immediately with watching BCS. Imho, it’s a vastly superior and more entertaining show that you’ll certainly enjoy given how many more competent people do competent things in it. It’s just nothing short of brilliance in writing.

31:24 this is the moment Walt became Heisenboner

Just had the weirdest experience I've ever had, crying over Jane and laughing at you guys' shocked reactions at the same time.
