[@masterzombie161]

Here’s a good dinner (Pepper steak marinate beans and rice) Cook steaks first (season how you like) 1 or 2 big bell peppers 2 ripe tomatoes 3 or more banana peppers Cook it with some butter or oil till it gets nice a fragrant. Add salt or Cajun spice depends on you. Cook on a medium fire for almost 10 mins and take the marinade out of the pan and pour it on the cooked steaks and leave it for at least 10 mins. Keep it hot so the steaks can absorb the juices. I usually use regular jalapeño refried beans. However you can mash pinto beans while adding cooked sorano peppers or jalapeños with some pepper Jack cheese and mix until it’s nice and smooth. Add oil to the beans to keep it consistent. Rice is by your choice. Either way enjoy.

Lalo would have been in-place of Tuco in the North, and Gus would have certainly been dead. Lalo would have been smart and realised that Walt’s meth is extremely good, so he would have been their distributor. I’m pretty sure Walt would stick with the deal like he did with Tuco, since Lalo was an ensured revenue stream. And since Lalo is secretive, smart, and doesn’t beat up his coworkers, Walt would simply do the 11 deals until he gets the $737,000 that he was originally aiming for. He’d then leave the business, but I think Lalo might try and make sure he doesn’t. I’d like to see how that turns out.

I think they like to add hints that Lalo is a perfectionist and takes pride in his mental prowess within the cartel. Similar to the scene where he tells Nacho not to get oil on his sink, or that he owns very nice things and keeps everything neat and organized. So when he moves the salt, I think that's his OCD kicking in, creating a sense of control and specificity, similar to how Gus makes his employee scrub the fryers, and then does it himself again after. They make the best players in the game extremely methodical and calculated. Lalo is the type of guy that makes sure his new TV has the most optimal sound configuration and placement possible before letting anyone use it lol

@@thaistomp You cannot help but ask mentally or out loud, “Where did they get these clothes?” Did Tony Dalton chose the clothes and bring them, or the costume designer(s) pick them out and Tony and the producers gave them an approving thumbs up?

[@ourcorrectopinions6824]

Lalo just oozes charm and menace in equal mesaure. He's the most alluring and terrifying psychopath (Salamanca).

[@alejandrop.s.3942]

Lalo in this scheme is the definition of "crysis is an opportunity". One of his men got jailed, and he managed to use the situation to inflict damage on Gus' operation. Lalo was probably the best villain in the whole series.

[@albert-i2d4r]

What happened?

[@nafnaf0]

Lalo was an epic character, I wish he had had a longer story arc

[@alejandrop.s.3942]

@@albert-i2d4r Lalo had discovered the money drop points of Gus' operation. Krazy 8 got jailed, so he made him pretend he was a snitch and told the DEA where were those points. His man got freed earlier, having a direct link with the DEA and inflicted damage on Gus' operation. Truly a master move from a disadvantage position.

[@soundthatyoucansee123]

Holy shit, you cut this scene way too much.

[@Part-TimePro]

Right, the whole point of it was how intense Lalo was looking at Nacho and how he stared him down contrasting Tuco's random staredown.

Lalo reminds me of Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds. He already knows everything, but enjoys playing with his food.

[@shogun_1991]

Alright that’s not a comparison, landa didn’t had anyone to trust, and didn’t had somebody that would kill his friends, when u landa, u have no friends and nobody to trust only maybe AH

Lalo vs Landa: who wins?

[@leegibson5469]

Damn, the "faces" of the Salamanca's are astonishing. Cousins, nothing but death. Tuco, ape shit nuts. Lalo, trying to put a smile on the drug game. Hector, the ego.

[@antonchigurh7227]

Krazy 8 is the only guy in TV or Cinema history to eventually get killed by a bike lock

[@emree4699]

Another fun fact: Gus’ best friend/lover Max Arciniega is named after Krazy 8’s real life name. This is a way of Vince Gilligan’s respecting to people who contributed to his shows. He did the same for naming Jane Margolis after Mark Margolis (aka Hector Salamanca)

Lalo actually seemed like the only Salamanca that respected Nacho for who he is

[@theflyingdutchman1301]

The Brothers certainly respected him, by saving him by getting him medical aid and blood. Later on even giving him a nodd out of respect. Don Hector certainly valued Nacho alot and respected him and his family by not killing his father when he turned don Hectors money down. Tuco absolutely trusted him (pre drugs) and valued and even listened to his opinion so there was trust there. So "the only Salamanca" you might wanne re-think that.

[@ethancbaker2002]
