  1. @tiffany I also thought the directing in the sequence after Hector's wheelchair exploded to be absolutely brilliant. When Gus walks out and we see the half of him that isn't affected by the blast, we think for a few seconds that he actually somehow survived. This works excellently in tandem with the way Gus has been characterized as this unstoppable force throughout pretty much all of his run as a villain, and that scene symbolizes that aspect of his character perfectly before completely shattering that notion with his completely destroyed other side. He even fixes his tie before dramtically collapsing, as if to add a final layer of his perfectionist personality to the mix in that scene. Hell, even the way his face was split down the middle represents how he, in life, was a split person going between the cold collected businessman and psychotic madman. Everything about that scene was just so perfectly executed, I love it.
