It's kind of everyone except the Whites and the PInkmans. They missed a golden opportunity to bring back the junkyard guy though

We haven't had motherfucking Gale yet. I'm sure he's soon to arrive though. The pieces are falling together.

I'd also really like to see Huell's frequent "partner" show up. He was always fun.

The black market gun salesman.

I was thinking Tyrus was the most egregious "clearly way older in the prequel" guy, but I immediately forgot and forgave that with Lydia's cameo.

Gus and his 'partner' made meth well before Gale and Walt ever came into the picture, so buying the laundry facility now makes some sense. The biggest issue is how that gets up and running successfully enough to get Gus' partner killed before Hector has a debilitating stroke (which is looking more imminent). I trust Gilligan and co. to make it work, though.

On the other hand this is the first time in the series he has intentionally exposed himself for no other reason than (apparently) to convince himself he can cope. He also appears to be seeking treatment.

Nthing what has been said about how great it is seeing this whole collection of people being brought together, with their attendant concerns, struggles, arguments, gently caress-ups, successes etc all rendered ultimately irrelevant because they're all fated to have their lives destroyed by Walter White in a few years.

I don't mean that in a sarcastic way, it's really great because it serves both to humanize/build on those characters while enhancing Breaking Bad. On every rewatch now seeing Walt destroy these people is going to have so much more impact.

I feel like Mark Margolis has been old forever. I mean, this is him back in Oz 2003 (Warning: Spoilers for character's fate)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtduRh4b7ho

For anyone who hasn't seen Oz, there's narration during each episode (except for the musical one, I believe). This episode featured Margolis' Italian gangster character Antonio Nappa, doing it. gently caress, he did such a good job in that show. Everyone did. Everyone in Oz went on to either The Wire, Law & Order, or both. It's got weird pacing and filming now, but man, I feel that it ushered in the golden age of tv that we're still in today.

I love Oz :allears:

I think Nacho thought that after getting Tuco out of the way, he'd be free to conduct his business like a businessman rather than a "criminal". Now, especially seeing how Gus conducts himself, he's realizing that Tuco was just a symptom of the real problem: Hector. It's not like he can go to Hector and say "I'm out, I've decided I want to work for my dad now. Good luck with your drug empire." So I think in the sewing machine scene, he's distracted by the fact that he's trapped in a situation where he's now having to compromise his core values.

It's like the speech Mike gives Pryce, "I've known bad cops and good criminals, etc." Nacho doesn't think of himself as the guy who beats the poo poo out of one of his own employees for coming up short the first time, especially after trying to make up the difference out of his own cut of the money. He wants to be a good criminal, and he's realizing that as long as Hector is his boss, that's never going to happen.

Then in the later scene when Hector tries to drag Nacho's Dad into things as well, that's the final straw. At that point, he knows that there's only one way out of this.

We also have some evidence that Nacho (with at least the knowledge and possibly the assistance of Saul/Jimmy) is gonna do something that the Cartel would want to kill him for.

In Breaking Bad when Walt and Jesse kidnap Saul he thinks it's the cartel and says "It wasn't me, it was Ignacio!"

Nacho is definitely my favorite of all the non-Breaking Bad characters (no easy feat!) and I think it's due in large part to the fact that he seems like a regular, smart, patient, decent dude who just happens to work for a drug cartel. He's somehow equal parts approachable and threatening as opposed to, say, Tuco.

That said, if I'm ranking these characters by their likelihood to survive the series, Nacho is way at the bottom of the list :(

e: for shits and giggles that ranking would probably go Nacho, Chuck, Kim, Howard.

"Did you know you have Rights? The Constitution says you do." is one of my all time favorite lines in Breaking Bad. Odenkirk nails the delivery of a guy who is banging out like a dozen of these commercials in an afternoon.

My take on it: He would rather have made something nicer. But given the time frame he had to work in, he may have realized that the only way to produce something effective would be to go in the opposite direction and just go all-out for tacky.
