Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

A corrupt father with an innocent son, and an innocent father with a corrupt son.

[TheSeanoops]

Nacho’s father was probably the most honest and honorable person in the entire Breaking Bad universe.

[theWn]

Mike always had the moral high ground in every conversation he was in. Even when he dies it’s only after putting Walt in his place. Only when he speaks to a genuinely decent man is he left with nothing to say. A simple upholstery shop owner is the only one who could ever put Mike in his place.

[cmafilmproduction]

The contrast from Gus saying "I'm different from the Salamancas" to Papa Varga saying "You are all the same" is so strong. Fun and Games was such a heartbreaking episode 😭

[Scout-]

This scene feels like the writers wanted to have a serious dig at the fans who thought Mike was a good person despite him being a criminal, and it comes off perfectly with only a few words spoken by Manuel. The shot where Mike is behind the gate while Manuel is free also gave it a beautiful piece of symbolism that separates the two men.

[CuiEDM]

Kim and Jimmy breaking up in this episode is one thing

Seeing two Dads that both outlived their sons is another thing

Fun and Games was a heartbreaking episode

[Kubu]

Many people don't like the way Mike died, but I think differently just because of this scene. Mike didn't die in heroic style or among his family, but ended up like any other criminal. Shot by a drug lord and dissolved in acid, never to be found by his loved ones. Nacho's father said what many don't seem to see, is that Mike is not a good person on a bad path, he chose it himself and is just like the other gangsters he faced.

[ludachris]

"what you talk about is not justice. what you talk about is.. revenge." my favorite line in the whole series. really makes you question morality and shows this whole fring v salamanca war is pointless.

[ZarosTemplar]

3:13 love it how there's nothing over papa varga, showing he's free but there's a chainlink fence over mike showing how he's trapped and almost like a prisoner of the criminal underworld, whether he likes it or not

[skeith]

The way Papa Varga said, "My boy is gone" was heartbreaking. It definitely shook Mike to his core, since he broke his boy and it got him killed. Nacho's dad tried his best to keep his son out of a life of crime, but ultimately failed since he was in too deep.

[piotrmaslanka]

Both of these men had their sons killed by bad people. Mike’s sense of justice was revenging on the the killers of his son. He thinks that Nacho’s father believes in the same justice, but he thinks differently (and he’s wiser).

And so the shot at 3:16 represents Mike remaining in prison and Nacho’s father leaving it behind. Mike’s ‘justice’ has only left him in the midst of this *never ending cycle*, while Nacho’s father knows he should move on.

[BlanBlan]

The “I’m sorry my Spanish isn’t good” is a great yet subtle way to bring Mike’s character down a notch. Not assuming dad would have a moral qualm and assuming he doesn’t understand when he questions him. Shows that Mike is extremely airtight in his convictions and genuinely believes in them, to the point of stubbornness. Mike always thought he had a moral high ground over his coworkers and got issued a reality check here.

[JacobBush]

“You gangsters and your ‘justice.’ You’re all the same.”

Every time I see people defend Mike as a “good guy in a bad world” or something like it, I remember this line. Mike is just as complicit in everything that happens. Just because he has lines he won’t cross doesn’t make him better than Gus or the cartel.

[Wajrus_]

Nacho's dad understands how bad Mike is and you can see that he already knew that this moment will happend some time :(

[transformersrevenge]

He failed his son.
He failed Nacho.
He resigned himself to be a heartless and cold hitman.
And yet he couldn't help but to care about Jesse, and even though he didn't see it happen, Jesse was the one that got away.

[GamerJunigma]

You can understand now the affection that Mike develops for Jesse in Breaking Bad

[TihetrisWeathersby]

Nacho's dad is the only innocent person in the whole show

[iks]

I like how his dad didnt give off a reaction like weeping or something like that. Because he already knew it was gonna happen at one point so he was prepared and just took it

[goatsoup]

man all the dads in the brba universe with their broken families
breaking bad truly just destroys lives, and not just the person who breaks bad in the first place

[fataldragons]

This. *This moment here.* This moment got me emotional. All Nachos dad wanted was for his baby boy to grow up and work in his business. And instead he got this. This hurts.
