Oh and one other thing about Gus that I didn't mention before. You guys are gonna love this:

Spoiler

Gus came to America from Chile in '89. He was obviously someone important and well-connected which is why Don Eladio didn't kill him in that flash back sequence in "Hermanos".

Augusto Pinochet was the President (dictator) of Chile until 1990. I won't go into much detail about him, but he was a scary individual that had thousands of his rivals murdered for political reasons. The guy was a monster.

One key thing about him though, was his fondness of chemistry. He had hidden labs built all over the country side, ran by chemists that would create chemically altered versions of common drugs. For example, they made a "black" variant of cocaine, the color variation was due to the chemical process used to create it.

Does this sound familiar? Gus didn't pull that lab idea out of his ass, he took the idea from his OG back in Chile. It's funny how people that criticize the show as unrealistic due to a $8 mill meth lab aren't even aware that it's actually historically accurate, and was written into Gus' character.

The more I watch these marathons on AMC, Walt could've saved himself plenty of headaches if he would've just killed Jesse.

Yeah, I had to figure Gus had them political connections. He was in the military too right? I think that may have been hinted at but I forget now. Those flashbacks to Mexico were always some ill shyt. Love to see some flashbacks to Chile.

If you've finished season 4 I assume you already know about....

Spoiler

The gun/plant scene in the ep before the finale?

Apollo Sunshine featured on Breaking Bad 412 - YouTube

And if you do, another little gem was the secretary was shredding a school schedule in the finale when Walt was looking for Saul....

The picture ain't too clear but you can see MATH, ENG, ART, HIST, etc. That was obviously Brock's schedule.

Fred.

When I finished the season, I knew the significance of the plant.....but didn't piece together the gun scene until I read this thread, so thanks for that. I would have never gotten that on my own. I just assumed the gun pointing else where (didn't realize it was pointing to the plant) was Walt taking it as he shouldn't kill himself.

Wow. That's crazy. You could tell the writers are putting in work man. They not just coming up with this shyt on the fly, they layering the story and characters out before they even write these scripts. I love it.

We were given clues, yeah. Like in the flash back scene from "One Minute", season 3, when it shows Tio younger. He's on the phone, obviously talking about Gus, and jokingly refers to him as "Grand Generalissimo".

[Tony D'Amato]

Man I was sayin that on the other site like every ep. Just kill that dude Especially when he got all emo and sh1t. U cant trust a dope fiend anyways.

I think Jesse is gonna kill him in the end tho.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Yo mec00nic I've always wondered who is that in your avi bruh.

such amazing material for them to draw from...simply amazing....

confirms alot of suspiscions i've had about international drug smuggling and politics

 

[hex]

Whenever people say "he should kill Jesse" it's

It's easy to say that because we're on the outside looking in....but he loves him like a son. People must've forgotten in "Salud", when his real son went to visit him, he accidentally called him Jesse, after crying and apologizing about "missing his birthday"....obviously he was apologizing to Jesse in his mind.

And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Jesse is the one that kills him....but it is what it is.

Fred.

True. But it's also realistic in the sense that most great criminals somehow end up having their greatest liability closest to them
