From Season 4, Episode 05: "Shotgun"
Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

Pretty amazing how Nacho's character retroactively looms large in Mike's interactions with Jesse, even though the character hadn't even been conceptualized yet.

[@boogaloobender3462]

Is that why he advised Walt to kill him?

[@Shark2th5000]

@@boogaloobender3462 Mike didn't really know Jesse until Season 4. He just saw him as a washed-up junkie who was solely there because he was a package deal with Walt. It's only when Gus begins actively manipulating him against Walt w/ the deaddrop pickups that Mike begins to realize that Jesse is just a kid that got into a criminal enterprise without really thinking it through, a la Nacho. He sees that Gus is making him into another chesspiece, just like Gus made Nacho into a chesspiece.

I sometimes wonder what would’ve happened if Jesse continued working with Mike and Gus instead of working with Walter to take out the latter

[@HowToTouch]

Exactly what happened to Nacho. Used and abused till death

[@colonelsmith7829]

​@@HowToTouch interesting that you bring this up. cause nacho was one of the few dudes that had sense and a heart. despite, his association with tuco and the salamancas. as well as gus, and gus's syndicate. i truly believe that mike regretted pulling the trigger on nacho. but he had to decide whether to save his life and relationship with gus. or risk being eliminated by gus, had he not sniped nacho. nacho truly deserved better. when compared to BCS and BB characters

[@gambleaway8252]

@@colonelsmith7829did you even watch?

[@mattp.272]

@@HowToTouchmaybe not, because unlike Nacho, Jesse knows Walt’s formula which yielded Gus incredibly high profits. Gus saw Jesse as a controllable and predictable asset, unlike Walt, who he was unable to control. Nacho’s only benefit to Gus was that he had the trust of the Salamanca’s. Nacho’s life was essentially over when Gus told him at gunpoint “from now on, you are mine”. Nacho was Gus’s nuclear weapon against the Salamanca’s, or at least that’s what he hoped he would be.

[@ATRaine]

@@Kromsmitesyou Lol okay 🤪 It's totally possible to be best friends with an actor and hate the character they play at the same time. Judge the fictional character all day, just separate the actor from the character. Unless of course you've met him personally and gotten to know him, that's another issue. Not every actor plays themselves in every role.
