Mameluke posted:There were photos of what looked like a family for Gus when Walt went over for dinner, but they were never brought up in dialogue. That was also before we learned Gus was partly motivated by the cartel's murder of his Jesse/lover. In hindsight, I think that Gus was trying to appeal to Walt by presenting himself as a family man with the photos and toys strewn about in a haphazard-yet-orderly manner, which only led me to believe even more than Gus invented them for the sake of connecting with Walt. Not only was his "family" never brought up in dialogue, they were never mentioned by any third party like the media or law enforcement, and Gus had a lot of clout with them as a local philanthropist; you'd think if they existed, we'd have heard about them even if they had no narrative significance. That's a fairly interesting dichotomy presented in that scene, then: Gus, the collected and calm drug lord who seems to put tremendous care into creating an imaginary family environment, breaking bread (haha) with Walt, a chaotic egotist increasingly given to impulsive and dangerous behavior who puts his family in harm's way. A deal with the devil is taking place in that scene, but the audience makes a mistake as to who the devil is the first time around.
