Audio is weird with this recording. In one ear, out the other.

2025-03-01 03:25:34 +0000 UTCUh oh. The audio displacement thing happened again :/ I'm not sure if I completely agree that there aren't any themes or motifs with the score. Dave Porter wrote the score for every single BB & BCS episode. It was a conscious decision to have quite little score and use either ambient sounds or sit in silence to ground the series in realism. I think Better Call Saul does this more. But there certainly are repeated themes throughout: - Heisenberg theme (particularly when he puts on his hat) - Twins theme (rattlesnake sound) - Gus & Mike theme which we've heard both times they've discussed working together. There may be more too I also think because both shows are about how (most) characters change, their scores change with them. I think Gus views himself as better because he's more professional & less animalistic. He is able to live that double life which he views as superior to those who live the brutal cartel life 24/7. He can also play far more strategically. But Gus really is no better than the Salamancas. We got the speech last season about him torturing the animal that ate fruit from his tree. He did that at 8 years old. Furthermore, I'm not sure if anyone has ever mentioned to you about the hints of Gus' past in Chile, so bear with me here: - In BB there's a flashback to Hector talking on the phone and he refers to Gus as "grande generalissimo" suggesting that Gus is/was among the Chilean military ranks. - Later on Don Eladio says "the only reason you are alive [and not Max] is because I know who you are. And you're not in Chile anymore." Suggesting he has a past in Chile that he'd tried to keep secret. - When Hank is on to him, Gus reveals via a convo with Mike that he'd tried to have all record of him in Chile (up to 1986) wiped. - In this season's premiere, Bolsa says to Lalo "with Gustavo, it's all business." Lalo replies "Like what happened in Santiago? Was that all business then?" Santiago is the capital of Chile. In the late 1980s, Chile's fascist leader, General Pinnochet's Government collapsed. It seems to be implied that Gus may have been a high ranking military official who did awful things there & got out while he could. He then established a chemistry scholarship, named after his first partner, Max, only a couple of years after being granted entry to the US, where he found Gale.
