That’s interesting, I thought it was already confirmed that Gus was gay. I also thought Jesse got an appropriate punishment based on everything he went through (Jane, Andrea, forced to be a meth cook/slave, etc) but I see where you’re coming from.
Either way, I don’t think that’s the end of Kim’s story and I would be very surprised if she’s gone just like that (it didn’t even occur to me that the breakup might be her final scene). I’d bet that something is still gonna blow back on her that we can’t see yet.
Can you explain that a little bit more? I didn't know that. I just assumed that he and his POllos Hermanos partner were lovers.
The show runners/director/writers do a podcast. They did one for each ep of "BB", and now they do one for "BCS".
Anyway, during season 4, they were discussing the scene where Max is begging for Gus's life.
Kelly Dixon, the editor, assumed they were lovers. Vince Gilligan was like
"nah, the ep is called 'Hermanos'", meaning that's his brother. Not literally, but they're best friends.
As the podcast went on Gilligan was like
"well, if people want to interpret that scene however, it's fine", obviously not wanting to offend anyone.
A bit after that, a random interviewer asked Giancarlo Esposito how he felt about playing such a strong gay character and he hit the
and wasn't even sure what they meant. He said the character direction, script, etc. never said anything like that.
Matter of fact, they planned to use real pics of Giancarlo's daughters in Gus's house to show he has a wife/kids. I think in season 3. But never followed through with it, for whatever reason.
So....yeah. Gus being gay is a retcon. But
whatever.
