Every good TV series has to end some day

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul lasted a combined 14 years and not one bad season between either show. That's a very impressive feat.

Season 5 was so damn good imo, I'd get back to it.

I'll be watching tonight, good first couple episodes to start it off.

i hope so, hank and gomez were in a few episodes of season 4 or 5, so it'd be cool to see walt even if he's kind of in the background/just passes through in a scene.
you should def keep watching it tho, season 5 is great and i'm sure the rest of 6 will be just as good

Realistically there was no way Nacho was making it out of that, but he basically went out on his terms: told Gus cover story, told Hector the truth, and could take some comfort knowing his dad would be safe. It was honestly the best case scenario for his ending.

This. It sucks, but it was the only way. In a way, he went out swinging. Guess Lalo was right during his first meeting with Nacho. I did kinda laugh at Hector pathetically shooting Nacho's body looking for any kind of revenge, but not getting it. Nacho really got the last laugh on Hector. Nacho telling Hector he's the reason he's in a wheelchair takes some of the sting out of the whole thing.

I'm just gonna leave this here, since there's no other BCS topic going atm and I wanted to put it down in writing on the off chance that my theory is correct *MAJOR FUTURE THEORY SPOILERS*:

I think that, not only does Kim survive BCS, but she's also the mysterious person that Saul recognizes just before the end of S5's flash-forward; and after all this they might end up having some semblance of a happy ending together. I don't think it's a coincidence that Saul ended up living his cover life in Nebraska, Kim's home state. I don't think it's a coincidence that S6 is the only season that doesn't begin with a flash-forward - instead focusing on Saul's home and possessions being repo'd - so we're still left hanging over who this mystery person is that Saul spotted. Finally, now that Nacho's met a sudden and tragic end, I think part of the motivation behind that was to serve as a grim reminder that any character who isn't in BrBa probably isn't getting out of this alive, which will make it that much more surprising when Kim actually does survive.

Sorry refresh my memory, isn't the mystery person just the cabby who recognized him?

Walt should not be in bcs at all since he was not involved in anything until the cancer. I wouldnt count on seeing him. Seeing hank and gomey is different since they work with the dea.

It could be. I only saw the episode once. I thought it was someone other than the cabbie that he saw offscreen and he said he'd 'handle it himself,' and that was the cliffhanger. I could very well be misremembering it though.

If Walt's in it, it'll probably be a quick cameo where he bumps into a BCS character at the bank or something. Or maybe we see Walt washing Howard's car.

so, I guess the whole *Breaking Bad spoilers* "it wasn't me, it was Ignacio!" thing is in relation to the failed Lalo hit, but I wonder if Lalo was already dead by that point (assuming he dies), or if there's some story overlap between BB & BCS...or maybe he thinks it's another Salamanca

I watched the episode late at night and knew that my friends that watch the show wouldn't be awake (if they'd even seen the episode yet). I so badly had to talk to someone about it that I dumped a brief summary of the character and my reaction on a friend who barely watched any BrBa and no BCS, lol.

RIP Nacho

Interview with Mando about the episode:

When did you find out Nacho was going to die?

I found out the winter before we started shooting. Peter [Gould], Vince [Gilligan] and Melissa [Bernstein] called me and they told me its going to be operatic, larger than life and it was going to break the internet. I immediately felt a tremendous amount of gratitude and was dialed in on making sure that this character sacrificed himself for the virtue and morality that he aspired to.

What was it like on the day you shot your death scene?

It was an unbelievable experience. The day we shot that scene, when we turned the cameras on Nacho, a huge sandstorm hit immediately and we had to run back home before our cars got stuck in the mud. When I came home, lightning struck the tree in front of my house and fell on my driveway; I couldnt get into the house. There were all these weird things that were happening. The crew had Nacho shirts on and tear tattoos, and I couldnt believe how much this character meant to so many people.

We know that all of the characters in that final scene, like Gus, Hector and the Salamanca twins, live to see another day in Breaking Bad, but was there a reason why Nacho didnt take anybody else down with him?

Every single one of them is dead, if you think about it. Theres an ominous thing to this scene, where these are all dead men walking, watching the first man die. But theyre already dead, they just dont know it yet. The image of Nacho is the image of sacrifice, true love and bravery. Its not the image of revenge. The ultimate act that defines the character is the act of sacrifice, and not anger, but love.

What was it like shooting that final emotional phone call between Nacho and his father?

In that moment, Nacho can run. Hes free to go. But hes staring the sunset in the eyes, and hes looking back at his father and saying Come with me. And his father says no. Its in that moment that Nacho knows that hes going to walk back into hell and sacrifice himself for the love of his father.

Before Mike (Jonathan Banks) roughs him up, we see Nacho get a final meal before he faces the Salamancas. Did you have any say on what Nacho would eat?

It was really important for me that he use a fork and knife and that he put salt and pepper on his food. It wasnt about sustenance at this time, but it was about a man who was going out with a lot of love for life. And when you love life, you enjoy life. So Nacho didnt lose the appetite for life, if anything he was filled with love and life at that point because he knew he was doing the right thing. It was a celebration of life, it was Nacho telling himself and the world not to cry for him. This was something he believed in and he was doing it with all his heart.

The episode starts with Nacho on the run from the Salamanca twins, and he submerges himself in an oil tanker to hide from them. What was shooting that messy scene like?

It was an incredible episode, beautifully written and directed by Gordon Smith, full of symbolism. The last meal, the last goodbye, the trial of a mans heart, like when the ancient Egyptians would weigh your heart against the weight of a feather and figure out what is it you stood for. The writing had given me such an unbelievable opportunity to do a character that was going through something incredible physically, psychologically, emotionally, but also spiritually. It was amazing to seep my actual body into that darkness and to come out of that tanker in the middle of the night with the star-filled sky, to literally wash myself off and clean myself of all that darkness by this abandoned gas station on the side of a highway. To stand there in front of all these future-dead men and to look up at the sky and yell out what I believe in and to sacrifice my life for that morality and virtue, I feel like a really lucky actor whos been given this dream role. Im eternally grateful that it will forever live in pop culture.
This episode, in a strange way, is Nachos lowest and highest point at the same time. Its the one where life treats him the most unfairly, but strangely its when he feels the most whole because he has no doubt of who he is in that moment.

In Breaking Bad Season 2 Episode 8, Saul briefly mentions an Ignacio and a Lalo in one scene. People had made theories that theyre alive later on in Breaking Bad because of that one bit of dialogue. Did you ever discuss whether that Ignacio and your Nacho are the same person?

I think in Season 1, Vince and Peter said that Ignacio was the Nacho because Nacho is short for Ignacio. So we knew since Season 1 that it was sort of going to be linked, but then again there could be another Ignacio as well. But I think now were pretty sure were talking about these two characters.

they had to rush the end of his storyline so that they could fit in the rest of the story

could've had a seventh season of this show honestly but i guess the actors are getting too old for the parts. Gus and Mike especially look very old compared to breaking bad but the story is good enough you can generally just suspend your disbelief. still you can't just keep it going forever
