Walt’s ego also helped him get as far as he did. He was motivated to win against Tuco and Mike because they bruised it. But without his ego he wouldn’t have even tried becoming a criminal. Someone as smart as Walter and more secure would have taken the job Elliot offered in Season 1, or even not walked away from Gretchen to begin with. Walt did because her family’s wealth threatened his ego. I think Mike and Saul were right, he was an incredible chemist but would have been caught in a few months without their help.

Gus killing Lalo will forever be my favourite Esposito performance. We knew he was scared of Lalo after seeing him grind his entire operation to a halt in order to ward against him, but it was always a calm, rational response to a greater threat, but in this scene the FEAR in Gus's face just says everything; he wasn't being rational or calculated, he was paranoid and threw all his defenses up because he knew Lalo was the better man, who in the end just got unlucky.

The subtle critique of the writers was that the corporate intelligence was exactly the ‘smart’ that organized crime rings admire.

What I found terrifying about Gus' character when first watching this show was how Giancarlo Esposito could alter his expression and mannerisms from being an amiable, unassuming fellow to an insensate drug lord. I think that is why his last moments with Don Hector is so memorable to me is because his last expression goes from a moment of tenderness, to bewilderment, and finally absolute terror. What a fantastic and original character, definitely up to Los Pollos standards.

2:51 Love how it goes from “Gus being happy because he hit a cool trick shot” to “Gus brutally murdering a man”

I just love gus what a fucking villain man the fact he waited 20 years for his revenge is still amazing what a patient and calculating man. and to think in the end, he waited too long and relished in his victory for too long and got taken out by his enemy the exact same thing which happened between him and lalo what a poetic story of revenge of an empire risen and fallen in the same way. this is peak TV

I like how gus essentially tried to save walter white by getting the two salamanca brothers to go after a Dea agent who could pose a threat for the cartels later on in the future essentially killing two birds with one stone, it means gus really wanted walter to keep living on even after his time was done either out of respect for his talent, or wanting to use him more I suppose but to guses suprise hank managed to survive and defeated the equivilent to two elite cartel hitmen, and in response to this walter wanted to know what was going on and gus simply told him without words "the problem has already been sorted you have nothing to worry about anymore", you can even tell since gus is saying this since he winks at walk confirming that basically the salamanca assasin issue is no longer a thing

It's Gus. Sure in the end he was outwitted by Walt but, that ended up being Walt's undoing. It led to Walt poisoning Brock to get Jessie on his side which led to Hank using Jessie to bust Walt and the whole thing fell apart. However, Gus accomplished everything he wanted to in life: destroy the Salamancas and their whole cartel. Walt basically got everything he wanted to. He died 2 years after his diagnosis (as he originally planned to do) and managed to humiliate his old partners, get his money to his family, and kill all his enemies. Hell he probably could have gotten away in the end if he wanted to but, he had nothing left but a life on the run with a lung wound and no money. So he just accepted death. So if anything Gus and Walt would be tied in their master plan's efficacy.

Gustavo Fring is truly one of the most calculated and intelligent characters ever to be in television. The man spent decades on a revenge mission and took time, planning and money to build his empire, the chief component being his meth lab that took extenuating circumstances, delays and millions of dollars to construct. He could’ve attacked the cartel at anytime once he consolidated his forces but he took the time and patience to gradually tear them down, specifically with the Salamancas. As Hank Schrader put it, Fring was one “magnificent bastard”

I fucking love how he's always presenting this mild, extremely polite, model citizen persona to hide in plain sight.

I like to think most of the main characters are highly intelligent, but they all have a character flaw that make them do unwise things. Walter is a chemistry genius, but his pride and ego make him act irrationally in spite of how smart he is otherwise. Mike is a brilliant tactician, but he has heart and mercy, which are good qualities in a man, but wind up being fatal in the business he's involved in. Gus is a highly intelligent businessman and negotiator, but his single-minded pursuit of vengeance at all costs leave him wide open to predictable behaviors that end up being his downfall. Hank is a very competent DEA agent, but his familiarity with the drug industry and the kinds of people he knows to be involved make him frequently rule out the possibility that his meek and mild-mannered brother-in-law Walt could ever manage to deal with them and come out alive. They're all very intelligent and competent at what they do best, but they're also not immune from having a character defect which leads to their undoing.

I have never seen a sweetest, kindest face turns into cold blooded killer's face in a split second. Great acting!

Smart but flawed to the core. Should have never revealed himself to WW. He had really no need to uncover his identity. Most likely WW's burgeoning reputation was threatening to Gus' plans in the region. He dropped the mask to display he had more power for the first right of refusal...... plus to try to bewilder WW and see his reaction to dire news. Gus could have turned WW into the authorities or set him up as a fall guy. Yet Gus gave in, possibly to control WW for the short term that turned into short term mortality. Plus Gale was a steady fall back. Under the radar, loyal to the core, with no drama attached.

This was simply the best-written, best-produced Series ever made. The fact that Better Call Saul was a spin-off and written as a prequel to the main series was another example of Gilligan's genius. Great acting - no doubt. Great cast - for sure. But the WRITING - the creation of what and who Gus became - was what riveted most viewers. YOU - created a GREAT compilation. A pleasure to watch.

"because i am sure you took this home with you, you will also each receive 24 hours of overtime pay" everyone's questioning instantly shifts from "who were those guys?" to "what am i going to pay off/buy with next weeks check?" in mexico, that's called "plomo o plata" [lead or silver] w 24 hours of ot pay, he instantly bought silence. and because he is that great of a fast food boss, AND pays notably more than kfc + others, turnover in PH is low, so he rarely has to worry about a new staffer being spy, undercover, hit man... for GF, its pennies on the millions of dollars

Gas is great and all, but you should check out Gus also!

I feel like Lalo was smarter and had a knack for outsmarting Gus and his men multiple times, but he lacked discipline

No, much like most characters in the Breaking Bad universe, his pride was his favorite downfall.

I'd say they were on par with eachother intellectually tbf

Dude just knew what kind of game was played right when he entered.

Gus was a smart guy, but he underestimated the power of the guy who knocks with pizza

I enjoyed his character so much more in Better Call Saul. Unbelievable

4:20 I always felt so bad for Nacho in that moment. I could feel him shrink under that gaze.

I always felt that if Jessie wasn't such an insufferable fuckup who turned everything that he touched to shit, that Walt and Gus would have been allies and even friends. Walt would have died from the cancer and Gus would have ensured that Skylar and Walt jnr were taken care of with minimal drama - but I guess that wouldn't have made for as compelling a TV show.

It's such a shame Esposito never won an emmy for this

Wouldn't say he was the smartest. Perhaps the most calculating, considered and determined. Arguably most effective. Walter was smarter, but worse overall because he constantly shot himself in the foot, mostly because of his ego.

So Walt fucked it by killing the dealers at the end of season 3

as a wise man once said: Revenge is a fools game

Gustavo was the first ‘Walker.’

I love what they did with the character Lalo. He was almost like a polor opposite to Gus. An agent of chaos on a war path. And the only man to truly put fear into the heart of guns.

Looks like its time to rewatch Breaking Bad. Gustavo Fring was superbly written and portrayed.

ok done several binges of the goat show- breaking bad, but fring's appearances in BCS makes the show a lot more interesting and these clips make me want to do a rewatch

Lyle needs his own show.

An absolutely travesty how someone could love Breaking Bad, but never give Better Call Saul a chance. Oh well…

Why does the wine scene make me so sad lol it gave a glimpse into who he used to be before his path of revenge and what he's given up

Focused, Determination and No Mercy

That gesture Gus made before bending down to clean up the glass is something i find myself doing now

This man has no hobbies, no excessive indulgence. Just pure dedication to his goal which enables him to think of strategies to reach his goals and contemplate on the next steps 24/7. Hiding a gun to the construction came to his mind last minute. If he was distracted by anything at all like Jesse was by drugs, Walt was by his family, etc. this idea may not have come this his mind and Lalo would have won gotten the edge.
