You people need to post more
So little activity during an active great show is not good enough.
shareI know. I come onto here after watching every episode and nothing. :-( I also look on here www.themoviedb.org for my BCS fix.
What did you think of the end to S4Ep2? I forgot how much I hated Gus until then. He is one of my favourite characters (love to hate). Why is he so angry that Nacho tried to kill his nemesis? BIG mistake Gus (as we know what happens to him). :-) lol
LOVE THIS SHOW and wish I didn't have to wait every week for a new episode. :-( Each episode finishes way too quickly.
Yeah we need to try and get more people to come here. I miss the days of IMDb where you could go to the boards after a new ep and the place would be flooded with posts. Now everyone spread out to different sites so afaik there's no highly active board for the show apart from the subreddit which kind of sucks.
The end of ep2 was insane. I too forgot how evil Gus can be. It's crazy how he can go from being so likeable and calm to a complete psychopath at the flick of a switch. Just amazing.
He's angry because Nacho would have nearly ruined his long and elaborate revenge plan if Hector had died. Like Gus told his doctor, only he gets to decide Hector's fate.
I hope things end up okay for Nacho. He's been having the worst luck lol.
I'm guessing Nacho will not be surviving this series but I agree....for people who populate the Breaking Bad universe (Breaking Badiverse?) he is one of the more likable.
shareI miss those days too. Well I'll be chatting here after the next episode, which will be on a Tuesday evening (UK time). That's when we get it here.
The scene with Kim was just awesome. You could feel her built up anger over the 3 seasons. She said everything we wanted too.
The scene with her and Jimmy on the couch was touching too. Jimmy trying to hide how sad he was feeling.
What do you think the interview scene was all about? The looks on the guys faces were so funny.
The interview was a ego thing; Jimmy's special skill is persuading people to do whatever he wants, but he doesn't really want that job because he knows those guys and that job won't challenge him. He does not see them as being worthy of the privilege of being his employers. We saw it in earlier seasons when he (and sometime Kim) would run scams on people in the restaurant. Kim was satisfied by just imagining the scams, she sees many of the same things as Jimmy when planning them out, but Jimmy is only satisfied when he takes action to see them through.
shareEither a) Outsmarting people who are gullible isn't satisfying or b) he was disappointed in himself on the make. Probably a, but you never know.
shareGus said something about how as much as he hated Hector they needed him around because he kept everyone in line and they don't need rival gangs taking a run at the Salamanca's.
Remember the chat that Arturo and Nacho have to the comotosed Hector: It's all looking good. We had a problem with that shit gang over on Lomas, but we showed some muscle. Took care of it. No one wants to mess with the Salamanca's.
That's what Gus wants to happen and Hector being alive facilitates that.
Have to also remember that though we know Gus hates Hector, the majority of the drug cartel don't, basically we have to separate what we know of the future and see it through the other cartel members eyes (what we see of Gus they don't). I see it as Gus is just putting on a show of giving Hector the best care, Gus' end game is to take over the Mexican drug cartel and the Salamanca's business so keeping Hector alive to see that happen is also a motivation, plus of course what OhHeyBro says below about how Gus is the only one who will decide Hectors fate.
Back to what we know of the future and Gus, that is how Gus plays things, remember what the Police thought of Gus in Breaking Bad he was their hero almost. That is what is at play here I believe Gus is getting all the others on side, especially Hector's nephews "The Cousins," then Gus takes a tilt at taking over the Mexican Cartel.
