When Hector started shooting his corpse, I felt physically hurt with every shot. At least he went out on his own terms. Such a great episode and series overall.
Better than being tortured to death…
I thought that was kind of funny...
It made me concerned about Nacho’s dad. Obviously, Hector is still angry with Nacho, even after his death. Hector might still want revenge. This could mean Mike will have to give the dad the ID he retrieved from the safe. The dad might need to flee Hector.
I think Mike was adamant about protecting Nacho’s dad, because he needs to establish that families are off limits. Mike doesn’t want his daughter in law or granddaughter to ever be involved with Gus’s business.
@@horatiotodd8723 Yeah I saw it more as a dark comedic part of the episode. The cousins carrying Hector to the corpse and handing him the gun was so damn dark but funny at the same time.
I agree with your points my friend, but can we talk about the delivery of the line "You think of me!" I got goosebumps with the change of voice from the rage he was feeling. Hell of a speech. Hell of a show.
That was awesome!!!
The way they closed out Nacho's story was basically perfection. A little early on, would have preferred for that to be like mid season or something. But other than that, they did a great job with how they handled it.
Would’ve been to predictable if it were mid season. Was absolutely not expecting that.
As much as it felt too early for me too, it does highten my expectations for the rest of the season. If Nacho goes out in ep.3 , hopefully there is a hell lot more big stuff to come.
Maybe early but I expect a lot about the second half of the season, hoping it will be about the future of Saul, like they did before in BB finals season
You know l had to rewind the scene twice l just couldn't believe my eyes, a guy at work told he had to die for continuity purposes but l did not want to accept that.
I really wanted to see him partner up with Mike further but at the same time he did die on his own terms so yeah bittersweet for sure.
@@feliperios3496 what I don’t understand regarding the “continuity purposes” part is that in breaking bad Saul throws his name out to Walt and Jesse when they kidnap Saul - he is like “Ignacio, Lalo…”
Why would he use Nacho’s name after he died unless he didn’t know he was dead? That is all I can think of; and apparently they are close to the overlap of the two shows this season…may actually be happening behind the scenes already.
This Episode just broke my heart. I don't know why but Nacho's death just stuck with me more than any other TV death i have seen with the exception of Jax Teller from SOA. I think its the combination of hoping Nacho would get away, the guns would be loaded with blanks or they would miss his vitals and let him get away and him just putting the gun to his head knowing there is no way out. Even more heartbreaking with the fact that Nacho's body would probably never be returned to his father since even Mike left him in Salamanca hands, his father will never know his sons fate, and if he ever does, Hector made sure it would be a closed casket. Nachos fate just broke my heart
I literally flinched when he pulled the trigger and couldn't believe he was dead up until he was on the floor and the blood started spreading.
I made the mistake of watching this episode in the morning. It ruined my day and that NEVER happens to me with fictional characters.
@@LadyhawksLairDotCom sorry bro 🥺 I'm watching it at 2 in the morning and I'm so heartbroken.. He didn't deserve that😭😭
At start his character for me didn't do much, I just didn't care for him at all, his only redeeming quality was his respect for his father. But somehow he grew on me and I genuinely felt bad for the guy who was stuck in such a horrible situation.
I think writers did him justice though, basically giving him an entire episode to say goodbye.
Kind of made me think, how lazy Dexter was killed off in that other show haha.
I actually felt that Hector feebly shooting Nacho’s corpse was more empowering to Nacho than it was demeaning in a sense. He revealed to Hector how he ruined his life, and then robs him of revenge immediately after. Hector couldn’t be satisfied by merely shooting a corpse.
Great episode. Great review.
This episode made me wonder what awfulness is going to happen to Kim. She's either going to get killed or Saul's actions completely ruin her life.
What You should love is the fact that Hector is shotting at Nacha in Fury not because of the revaluation that he Switched the pills. But that Hector watched Nacho bathe in Happiness, Pride, and Pure Satisfaction to on top of that, go out on his own terms. Killing Himself with a Smile on his Face. Spitting Down on Hector and making him forever Know that he robbed him of the vengeful torturous filled anguish he would have given Nacho.
Hector is in Anguishing Rage because the fact is; The Body his Shotting at is not
Ignacio "Nacho" Varga anymore.
It's just an Empty Vessel that Feels No Pain nor Emotion, the Soul that had occupied it had long sensed passed into a Peaceful Realm. Long before Hector's Bullets went Flying.
Ignacio "Nacho" Varga
"¿Qué es lo que quiero?, Respeto"
In the end he Commanded Respect, Standing Tall where all Hector is in that moment is a Shell of a Man bound to a chair a Prisoner in his own Body.
Que descanse en paz Ignacio.
That was a tough pill to swallow with Nacho. I felt he was the strongest character in these first three episodes (by design) and that was as strong as an exit as you can do for him. His story this season was the most interesting and action packed and I’m enjoying the Jimmy/Kim storyline but the scam on Howard just doesn’t feel that epic for the final season.
Exactly, l guess l can accept Nacho's death but it would've been better had it happened later on in the season .
I'm not saying l have problems with the way he went out, just a little too soon.
But hey that's just me.
I'm still in shock kind of. I knew nacho was done for but my God. You know what, good for him. He went out like a G. On his own terms. But my God, hector unloading on his corpse. Just shows you how dark this universe really is. And him covered in that oil is a metaphor for his entire time on BCS. Just a sad story, but these characters make their own beds. They got to lye in it. And Mike's willingness to get Jesse out holds more weight cause he couldn't get that for Nacho. Nacho is in the game, his father isn't. That's Mike's line. Nacho had to go for Mike to be where he is with gus in BB. Questions is, what does Lalo uncover. Cause as of now in BCS, the cartel knows nothing of gus's lab. But in BB they know of it. So Lalo dies uncovering something and the cartel finds out about what gus has been doing. Great video Cody. So excited to talk about this show.
I didn’t think they could keep Nacho around past this episode. From the beginning, Michael Mando has always been the most underrated actor in this show. His performance is so great, though. Nacho is the Jesse Pinkman of this series, and he is certainly a drug dealer, but he is right now the most innocent guy in the whole show, even compared to Kim and Saul. You don’t want his father to die. But I loved the way Nacho went out! And I’m concerned that Saul won’t be able to smooth-talk his way out of this situation.
one of the greatest moments in TV history imo
On the plus side, I can finally make a move on Nachos girlfriends.
Also something else I thought about that is layered into this episode is the relationship between Nacho and Mike and Mikes backstory with what happened to Mikes son. And the pain that mike still carries with him. It is a part of his character that has been well written and it appears in various interactions with other characters like with Nacho and Nacho’s father.
I know Nacho is the big story that everyone's talking about but the prosecutor outlining to Kim how much they know about Lalo is really going to snowball - that's the bigger takeaway than they car key scam if you ask me. Lalo's still out there too - what a brilliant show.
No comparing shows and nacho obviously aint the figure head of the show, but UNLIKE DEXTER, that’s how you take a character you care for and love out. That was an emotional knock out
I kinda figured something bad was gonna happen to Nacho aswell because of the phone call, but it was still sad to see him go so early into the season. He was easily one of the best characters of this show and he went out like a badass
Nacho going out was tough to watch but loved the way he did it. I agree his character could have been better involved with the show but he always gave a great performance.
This show is awesome. Your reviews are awesome. Thank you for bringing this to us. I enjoy watching the episode and then watching your review. Keep them coming.
Man, I’m so heartbroken to see Nacho go especially in episode 3. Wanted more of him (who doesn’t?) He’s by far my favorite and I probably won’t be as invested without him. I actually was wondering why he didn’t just kill himself and then… it happened. Damn, I can’t. If he’s out of the picture all I can see is Jimmy and Kim story blowing up to the tenth degree.
The reason hector started shooting rounds into nacho is to cause his dad even more pain when he comes across dead bullet ridden body
Your thumbnail HOLY SHIT is exactly right man seriously
The fact that every other person in the scene is still alive in Breaking Bad told me instantly that Nacho wasn't going to survive.
Him hiding in the oil was so symbolic of Nacho's entire character arc: going deeper and deeper into the life, every move he makes trying to get out only delaying the inevitable; getting dirtier and dirtier with his struggle to protect his father.
I predict that there will be more story arc with his Nacho and his father, the Salamancas trying to force Senor Varga into the game. Nacho is likely to appear in some flashbacks. We all know being killed on a show like this doesn't mean you won't be back!
I don't think I'd like that unless it somehow explains Mike's loyalty to Gus after what went down with Nacho.
THIS EPISODE WAS MIND BLOWING!
Well, I didn't expect it to happen so early. At first I thought it was too early to do, altough the way they did it was perfect, but I am curious what they will do with the remaining 10 episodes now, that is alot of time to focus on Kim, Jimmy and Lalo
You can make a lot of parallels between Nacho and Jesse. I see now why Mike was so nice to Jesse because it was kind of a chance at redemption for him. He didn’t want to see the same fate happen to Jesse in Breaking Bad.
I've never felt so tense in an episode of a TV show even any of the breaking bad episodes one of the best prices of television.
I didn't expect it so soon, but given his absence from Breaking Bad, it was pretty unlikely he'd survive. But damn, did he go out like a badass: "When you're sitting in your nursing home drooling in that wheelchair, you think of ME!" It pretty well paid off what Don Eladio said at the start of that scene...there are good deaths and bad deaths. He made his a great one.
When Nacho first met Lalo. Lalo said "you're going to die"
Great episode. I thought Nacho went out on top, at least as much as he could at this stage. He protected his father and also died on his own terms. He was supposed to run, but he broke out of the zip ties and held them all in a tense standoff for awhile. He also let Hector know that he was the one responsible for him being in the wheelchair. That's why I saw Hector riddling him with bullets as Nacho's triumph. They never got the chance to torture him, so they were taking it out on his body. If this was just episode 3, just imagine what we have in store for the rest of the season. Love this show.
Perfect, because Saul never knows Nacho was killed by the time breaking bad starts
Hey Cody! I have a suggestion for a topic of discussion on a future video... I noticed alot of religious symbolism around Nacho in this episode in particular. Nacho "baptized" in oil, various shots of him with a "halo" above his head, his shirt was a huge giveaway. And even his speaking with his father shortly before he sacrificed himself. Lots more too. Just an idea. Great video!!
CODY! Im really glad you got the review in, I had forget what day it was on. I seen the notification hit, so I went on lunch to watch the episode, now I'm back at it listening to your breakdown. CHEERS BRO
I loved your review; I do disagree about them not using Nacho enough throughout the show-I kind of see it in terms of the hierarchy and importance to the cartel and also future events in breaking bad. He did get quite a bit of air time each season…from him scamming the guy who would sell them pills 💊 to the stuff with him and Saul and more.
Hard to give any characters enough air time when the main focus should be and is - around Saul/Kim. I also think the amount of time on Mike has been good too.
The guy should get an Emmy for his performance (Mike Mando)
Definitely a gut punch but I thought it was a fitting end. I have NO idea how this season will end but I have a feeling this won’t be the last bittersweet moment we see. We’re still not sure what happens to Kim, but I’m going to guess it’s not good.
One really annoying thing from Netflix was in the episode description and warnings one was suicide. Thanks for giving it away Netflix
@@trevorclinton5692 yep
Man, if this heavy hitter came out right out of the gate, I wonder what else this season has in store for us.
Want to know what’s crazy Nacho was one of the first (Salamanca gangs) to die. What’s even crazier in the scene when Nacho killer himself everyone that was surrounding Nacho is dead, each and everyone of them don’t make it in breaking bad.
If this is just the 3rd episode, just imagine what they have in store for us in the next 10
7:23 The angry look in Hector's eyes was similar to the one before he kills Gus and himself.
Now Lalo is going to have a big role in Saul/Kim's storyline......goosebumps!
Awesome video Cody you are my favorite youtuber!
Fav episode in the series. RIP Nacho!
Damn this episode was a painful one. Michael Mando's performance was great. RIP Nacho 🙌
Another great review code.... Love the upgrades with the background and everything.
Such an amazing episode!!!!!!!
Mike Mando has been fucking phenomenal as nacho!
Jaw to the floor loved this episode. Nearly up there with Bagman for me 👌
Hi Cody, I just saw epi 3, then your good review; first Bravo to Michael Mando for his Excellent acting in the series, & Especially this episode!👏 I Am Sad about Nacho's Death so early this season, as I loved his character & wish they'd kept him Alive til later, & Fu**in Hector shooting poor Nacho's dead body really Upset me.😢 Yet I'm So Glad Nacho got to expel some Anger & fully Told Off Hector, Before he shot himself, That was well written & so well acted.👍 Also Please explain Your theory as to, in Breaking Bad when Saul is taken by Walt & Jesse, Why does Saul Ask "Did Ignacio send you"? If Ignacio/Nacho has Actually been dead for Awhile?🤔
I was quite literally on the edge of my seat the last 10 minutes of the show. I was holding out hope that Mike would bail him out some how. Great review.
Damn dude.. the tension in this episode was like watching Ozymandias again. While this was a great episode, I wish he wasn't taken out so soon and had been dragged out a little more. My opinion may change depending on where the season goes and if part 2 is going to be set during the events of BCS or after BB. The Nacho story line was my second favorite after Mikes.
Great University...some famous alumni🙂
Loved it
Great review Cody. Loved the episode. Nacho was like a young Hispanic Mike and I adored his character and journey!
Great Channel and great reviews dude..you definitely deserve more recognition..keep up the good work 👏
Hector was probably shooting Nacho in the face, to make sure it’s closed casket…. like Sonny from The Godfather style. Look how they massacred my boy
Holy shit summarizes the episode.
There was no other way for Nacho. It made me dislike Gus. I get he wants revenge on Hector but he pretty much ruined Nacho’s life. I just hope nothing bad happens to Papa Varga
Damn BCS just keeps getting better and better!
I had nachos death spoiled for me before i saw it which sucked but it was still amazing to see the end of his character.
Another great review :)
When Nacho told Hector that he put him in a wheelchair - it was similar to admitting moments before Olenna Tyrell's death in Game of Thrones: "tell Cersei that it was me ":) Beautifull :)))
9:08 Fr when that happened I was just like "BRO CHILL HE'S DEAD ALREADY" lol
Like Abby in TLOU2 unloading on poor Joel with the golf club even after he’s dead.
Awesome episode. Still confused on Mike though; why would Gus have ordered him to put the paper in the safe believing it would lead to Nacho's capture if Nacho's capture would ultimately be Gus' downfall?
I think they were counting on Nacho not ratting Gus out - because if Nacho rats Gus out, Nacho knows they will kill his father.
They wanted Nacho to die in a shootout in the hotel. That’s why they left him a gun and told him to shoot anyone who came through the door. It was really a flaw in Gus’s plan.
I do have a close relationship with my father as well, and I have fucked up in my life with multiple DUI’s and even though i wasn’t enough for my dad who was a single father, he was my hero and he always loved me despite my fuck ups. so the scene with nacho and his dad wrecked me. this episode is an all timer for me because of those payoffs and how nacho went out on his own terms and knew that nothing will happen to his dad.
I don’t see why Hector wouldn’t go after nachos father. He went to his business to use it as his only smuggling hub.
Im upset but in all seriousness this episode was the most intense feeling i have ever felt watching tv the entire episode i was on edge
I hate you Gilligan.. And love you simultaneously. Thank you for making me care this much about a fictional character coz this fucking broke me!
Your channel is comfort food.
Can someone explain why first Gus sent the Cartel to get Nacho in the motel but then reconsidered because they could get him to talk? I really don't get it.
I'm a bit cloudy on it all as well.
@@CodyLeachYT It just doesn't add up. What's also weird is that the cartel distrusts Gus so much but at the same time is pretty naive on him and buys all of his bullshit, no matter how staged it looks. I mean, the cousins were so close behind Nacho but then it's Gus who catches him to tell them his story. Same in season 5 with the meth lab. Like Lalo wouldn't tell Bolsa about the south wall and that Gus story can't be true. Everyone's always praising the "brilliant writing" but with the last episode it starts to feel kind of weak. I'm actually quite dissappointed.
@@Schweinskopfsuelze86 Yeah, a lot of it seems pretty ridiculous.
@@Schweinskopfsuelze86 I get your confusion, but it’s not that the Salamancas “Believe” Gus. They just can’t do anything about it because they have zero concrete proof that Gus is acting in anyone’s interests other than Eladio’s. That’s why they don’t do anything because, without proof, there’s nothing TO do. I think this makes perfect sense and is therefore good writing because the character’s actions are sufficiently justified by cause and effect.
I definitely get why people are confused about this, but Gus’s plan was to get himself killed by the Salamancas. Tyrus gives Nacho a gun and tells him to shoot anyone who comes up to the door. After that, he then leaks Nacho’s location to the Salamancas. The plan, in theory, was for Nacho to die in a shootout and for the Salamancas and the Cartel to assume that Nacho was a mole working for the Los Odios Cartel in Peru. It was only after Nacho managed to escape that he convinced Gus that there was a better, safer option.
Amazing episode…a few questions: what exactly was Mikes plan with the sniper rifle? I was guessing a mercy kill but wouldn’t that alert the Salamancas that something was up and undermine the whole plan?
He was there in case things went south and Gus was in danger. It was to possibly kill the Salamancas.
I think the writers just like to put Mike in scenes with his sniper rifle.
I'm shocked but also not shocked. I was hoping that this would be the episode that introduced the vacuum repair shop. I really wanted Nacho and his father to get away. They could've definitely used old audio of Robert Forster (RIP), which I'm sure is what they're gonna do when the time comes.
I'm really looking forward to some overlap with Season 1 of Breaking Bad.
Personally, I think it’ll be introduced for Kim. I see it going completely wrong for her.
@@Kiárán92 That's what I'm thinking. Like how when they did that flash forward to the paper shredding and Saul gave Francesca that card and said "Tell 'em Jimmy sent ya."
I imagine he kept tabs on Kim, hard to believe he'd give her a card to HHM or another law firm.
So far the 2 main character death of the show were done by suicide.(chuck and Nacho)
What does it for-tell for Kim.....
Pissed we didn’t see lalo
Check out Ozark!
Do a Johnny Depp ranking!
This doesn't make sense.
Saul in breaking bad assumed Lalo kidnapped him. And He said "it wasn't Me it was Ignacio"
Nacho and Saul haven't met. And Saul doesn't know anything about what happened.
I get your question, but Saul and Nacho DID meet twice, both in S1 and in S5. And while Saul doesn’t know about Nacho’s death (Or maybe he does, it’s never confirmed), he assumes Lalo or someone related to Lalo has kidnapped him as revenge for Lalo’s attempted assassination. That’s why he acts the way he does. He’s blaming Ignacio because he assumes that’s the basis of his kidnapping.
Wouldn't the Salamancas go after his dad as revenge?
Aren't they gonna go after his Dad as revenge for Hector. Great episode.
@@scottieman2 just the way nacho went off on Hector. I'd say Hector would want any blood linked to Nacho.
you look exactly like a dutch youtuber named "WisWereld"
Is it supposed to be on Netflix next day? I still haven’t seen it on there
I'm hearing only countries outside of the US get it on Netflix. Or you can use a VPN.
Dude if they knocked nacho off this early off into the last season..just imagine the next the last 3 hahaha
Thanks for spoiler warning on SOA. Im watching it for first time now. I was able to skip ahead and not get spoiled. Thanks brother Tuco should be getting outta jail soon as well.
Whens the final series out?
I'm not buying Nacho's father all of the sudden being safe now. After Nacho told Hector that he was the reason for his stroke, Hector should be itching for revenge, and shooting a corpse isn't going to cut it, he would naturally order a hit on Nacho's father
The phone call with the dad immediately told me that this was it for Nacho. I am glad he went out on his own terms and told that asshole off. But watching him shoot Nacho's lifeless body was awful.
Why Skyler doesn't like Saul Goodman?
Rip nacho
11:06
Turned out to be too literal...
😢
Vince Gilligan, he's the devil!
i thought it was poo not oil
Nooooo i loved nacho
I don't understand why Saul and Kim want to do Howard dirty. I really don't see what Howard really did to Saul.
It's more so what hes done to Kim. He was really vindictive towards her the first couple seasons.
Come on man, remove that thumbnail.
@kylloweenSome of us are still at work.
Saul and Kim story line seems to overextended already, dont really care for Hamlin anymore. They got to do something big next episode since Nacho died
How are people watching this on Netflix? All it shows for me is 5 seasons.
I think it premier's on Netflix in some countries outside the U.S. I ended up either buying the episodes on Amazon or TH-cam.
Outside of usa its on it.
I for one am getting tired of the show dedicating so much fucking time to the Sandpiper case and this petty juvenile grudge match between Jimmy and Howard. And it seems even more petty and insignificant as a backdrop to Naho's epic ordeal in these first three episodes. Hopefully the rest of the season doesn't waste too much more time on this.
Bruh
Alright this thumbnail is spoiling some stuff please go easy on it…
Dude give me a break. "Holy Shit" and 5 characters faces...
