He was a Gus double for sure

Google says Chilean Spanish is different. Could be that but you are right. It didn't sound natural.

Eladio's and Hector's Spanish was a little weird to me too.

Nacho's Spanish was a little off too but I took that as a US born child who doesn't speak Spanish regularly.

Lalo, Juan Bolsa, and Nacho's father's Spanish was natural.

Nacho (actor who plays him) is French-Canadian

Is the guy that plays Lalo a native spanish speaker?

Can anyone tell?

Native Spanish speaker here. He is a fully native speaker with little to no accent.

Esposito has an absolutely horrible accent, and not a Chilean one. As in he does not speak a lick of Spanish in real life. It always bugs me a bit and takes me out of of it just a little bit, but you gotta just roll with it.

Mark Margolis (Hector) also has a pretty bad accent but he is much better at faking it.

Don Eladio is fluent, but he's got a slight Cuban accent.

I'm going to be so bummed when Lyle loses his job because he starts doing the blue stuff

So now I'm wondering if we see the connection between BCS and BB happen sooner rather than later. At this point, Saul still believes that Nacho and Lalo are alive, but how long can it last before he figures something out. We know he thinks they're still alive at the time of his appearance in the BB timeline.

---

Saul can still be concerned about the Salamancas coming after him despite him knowing both Nacho and Lalo being dead.

---

But he doesn't know that for sure. He knows nothing about Nacho and all Mike told him was that Lalo would not be coming back. Sure he insinuated that Lalo was dead but he already did that once and Lalo came back so it's easy to see why Saul in BB could think Lalo is still alive and gunning for him.

In Breaking Bad 208, Saul says to a masked Walt and Jesse, "Lalo didn't send you? No Lalo?" That can be interpreted as him thinking Lalo is still alive, but are you of the mind that the trauma of Lalo's first mistaken death stayed with him?

Yeah, that's what I think. He thinks that Lalo is either still out there or if he's not still out there, there's a term known as mortmain. It means the "dead hand," so the dead hand of Lalo could still be acting there. Either Lalo sent a hit and it took that long to get to him, or he sent instructions to avenge him that took a while to track down. In some way, it still could have circuitously landed on Jimmy, but he's going to be freaked out about the specter of Lalo until the specter of Walt White becomes a better thing to fear.

I was surprised to learn Margolis isn't Hispanic. He definitely looks it.

Also, totally forgot he was in Scarface.

---

He'll always be Ace Ventura's landlord to me.

Lalo is not only authentic Mexican, he actually would go to the writers and suggest changes to some of the Spanish speaking lines because they didn't sound truly Mexican. I read an article where they had written some line about him adding cilantro to a dish, and he basically said "everyone adds cilantro, that would not be a big deal". He changed it to something spicier.

Meantime, the ratings are good (only took how many years). The plus 2 outdid everything on network TV save one show,and everything on cable not called wrestling.

This is really one of those series that I HATE waiting on!

Stream this thing and let me overdose this weekend by binging on some BCS!

I approve this message, bc we're supposed to leave for deployment until next year sometime, the week of August 10th. So I'm going to miss the series finale. I thought about just not watching this half of the season, but my self control will not allow it.

---

Disagree. I like to savor this show like a good whisky.

I wonder if Kim showing up at Gus' door to shoot him was a slight call back to Jesse showing up at Gale's door.

Both were done in absolute desperation mode and both to screw with Fring.
