Quick question is this going to be on Netflix too or what? I haven't been following any news on where it'll be airing since I know AMC will premiere it
Won't be available on Netflix in the U.S. until the entire season is over. So if you don't have AMC you might have to....make other arrangements.

Okay cool was just wondering since I seen a Netflix banner
Luckily I have AMC and when I cant catch it I'll just come here lol
That wasn't why they couldn't kill him. They needed him alive to use the distribution system he had in place with Los Pollos Hermanos and Madrigal Electromotive. He worked 20 years to build that, and had a lot of loyal people from a street level like Mike and his goons all the way up to a corporate level like Peter Schuller (the guy that killed himself in Germany in season 5A) and Lydia.
So it's not like they could just kill him and replace him. They shot up his trucks and killed his workers to send a message, so he walked out there like
"I know you can't kill me" in front of the sniper.Fred.

That's not why. Remember when they killed his partner and the Don said "The only reason I left you alive is I know who you are" in regards to his past in Chile. They could of killed him a few times but didn't. It wasn't because he was a great at distribution. It was because they feared what would happen to them if they killed Gus.
That's two totally separate things, like 20 years apart. I'll explain a little about that in a sec.

Ok peep game.
The flash back scene was never explained, but if you take clues, quotes, etc. from the series it's pretty easy to figure out why the cartel didn't kill Gus in the flash back:
When Hank is interrogating Gus in season 4, he mentions that 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. This was also hinted at in the season 3 episode "One Minute" when you see a younger Tio, and the cousins. He jokingly refers to Gus as "The Grand Generalissimo".
So they didn't kill him back then because he had connections.
Fast forward to modern times, and the sniper. Directly after that scene Jesse and Mike have this conversation:

when does this start
Sunday February 8th, then another episode Monday February 9th. Then after that every Monday for 10 episodes total. It's already been renewed for 13 more episodes in season two, which they're writing now.

No sign of Giancarlo da gawd though.
So, this is sitting on a 72 on metacritic 
I wouldn't call that particularly good.
We'll see come Sunday
