Season 5 really did a great job at redeeming Walt (in a way) in my eyes. It's a love and hate relationship for sure, but he's not all bad <3

I love that you actually watch and listen to the show. So many other reactors feel the need to say something after every line, and they end up missing important dialogue. You're great! Thanks for all the great content!

You have by far the most balanced and logical reaction that I have ever seen to this episode.
As you said, Walt made two really big sacrifices that so many people overlook because they just think he is pure evil:
1. He was ready to give up ALL of his money - everything he has worked for - to save Hank. This proves wrong whoever says his "greed" comes before everything, even his family.
2. He gave up his last shred of humanity in the public's eyes on his phone call to Skyler, so that the police wouldn't suspect her as an accomplice, which she was.

In the cold open, you thinking Jesse saw a snake which is why he was moving, kicking around so much 😂😂🤣 then realizing, no it’s just younger Jesse being younger Jesse haha
Yes, this episode ranks amongst the greats. Especially in context, basically every single episode prior to this one, shows the reasoning of the horrible downfall to explain why it is called ‘Ozymandias’ sonnet poem by Percy Bysshe Shelly Perfection.

There’s a major pothole in this show and many like it - the DEA is portrayed as preventing drug crime rather than perpetuating it. Hank and Walt, in a realistic portrayal, would have been a formidable team.

I met a traveller from an antique land who said:
“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert...Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed."
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Just have the tissues ready . I hated that scene with Walt and Skylar fighting over Knife. It's never good for the kids to witness parents fighting .
