I wanted Nachos death to happen later in the season but I guess the writers have bigger things happening.

In that little American Greed episode (one of my favorite shows btw) I thought they were almost about give away what happened to Kim.

once it became obvious the cartel AND gus AND the salamanca police were hunting for him, nacho’s story had to end there. there was no way he could keep avoiding all those parties. I thought that was shown brilliantly by the lengths he had to go through to avoid the twins in the oil tanker. his luck was going to run out pretty quickly on this show.

it reminded me of how there was no realistic way to save hank and gomey when the skinheads pulled up in the desert on BB.

You’re right. After Nacho betrayed Lalo there’s wasn’t anywhere for the character to go. Might have to do another Breaking Bad watch for the 8th time

I can appreciate when crime dramas do what they have to do. Not keeping characters around, none of that disappear with the vacuum guy bull shyt, just a definite end. It’s disrespectful to compare Junkie to NaGOAT:stopitslime:
As much as i wanted to see him get away, relying on the vacuum guy too much would def cheapen the show and lower the stakes.

maybe have one more character use to to introduce us to how Saul knew about the service but thats it.

literally and figuratively true. they explained it when gus, tyrus and mike were talking. even if nacho disappeared, hector would continue to blame gus for the attack. the cartel would never stop searching for him in order to confirm what really happened. nacho had to go, but it needed to be on gus' terms, aka.. before the cartel found him and got him to talk (nacho giving him plausible deniability was an unexpected bonus).

i actually respect them for ending it quickly instead of dragging it out. if gus could get him out of mexico that quickly/easily, his story had to end asap. you can only avoid that kind of power for so long solo, with half a clip of ammo.

Yeah that’s true they need an intro and that guy isn’t around anymore so I wonder what they’ll do, haven’t looked into it if it’s already established.
I wanted to see Nacho make it too but as an actor you gotta be:jawalrus: to have a send off in the history books like that

I know it’s just a show but it’s sad when you think about how it all had to be in the end

hector is probably STILL shooting nacho. they were never gonna stop.

it's crazy. outside of his love for his father (and female junkies?) nacho shouldn't be a sympathetic character. but compared to the monsters he was surrounded by... :mjcry:

compared to gus... :damn:

the nacho situation also really underscores how calculating and soulless gus is. compared to monsters, he and walt were THE monsters.

Lalo making his way back to Albuquerque more than likely

He definitely don't believe that Nacho did that shyt with help from the Peruvians

It's Lalo vs. The Chickenman for the rest of the season...then it'll just be Tuco, Hector, and The Cousins left :mjgrin:

To top it all off the actor that played Nacho deserves an Oscar. That final scene should be a listen at an acting school. Vince really Knows how to spot talent
