Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if that slip of paper Mike gave JImmy had the contact information for Chuck's wife.
I get some people like these type of "hidden" meanings and things. They seem very "hip" and "secret" and knowing about them puts you in that special club that can remember back to episode blah, season blah blah... I just really don't care. Better off just focusing on telling a great story, regardless of how many easter eggs there might be...
Native Spanish speakers - is Hector's Spanish terrible? I studied Spanish all throughout school and his Spanish sounds like what I sound like. Looks like the actor is not Hispanic either.
Yes, all the Spanish sounds stilted. I know that Steven Bauer speaks Spanish pretty well so wonder if it had something to do with the direction, even though I wouldn't know why.....
Yes I do and Bauer is Cuban by decent but it still sounded like they were talking in a very abrupt manner, even Hector's Spanish sounded slightly different from previous episodes. It's not a big deal but it was noticeable....
It was very noticeable to me, they simplified that conversation as if it were a spanish 2 hs training video...The way that conversation would of went normally would have allowed for too many subtitles which is why I think they went for the most basic version of the convo
Finally watched last night. I thought it was one of the best episodes to date. I loved the scene when Gus was reassuring his employees. He seems to really care about them. The fact that a cartel leader using a chicken restaurant as a front actually seems to care about the minimum wage employees who cluelessly work there just makes his character that much more interesting IMO. And the story he told them was so convincing, even though he probably made it up right there on the spot. I'm also very interested to see what Jimmy and Kim have in store for Chuck. Whatever they have planned....it seems to be setting up flawlessly. Chuck and Howard are falling right into their trap, whatever that trap may be.
I also really liked the episode... I definitely interpreted Gus's speech, etc differently though. I always thought that the way they show his absurdly rapid transitions between "polite community leader" and stone-cold, ruthless killer to be an indication he is a psychopath who's really honed his craft. Not sure I see us ever getting a confirmation either way, though.
