As a shipper I want to see that cut scene with Lalo taking a shower in Nacho's house. Of course I want.
But the worst thing is that they cut out the scene where he told Nacho "only so many people you can trust". Like, it's a very important line, no? It shows us how Lalo feels about all people around and how he feels about Nacho. It shows us that before Kim's words he already singled out Nacho among all the people whom he doesn't trust by default and made him his confidant. It shows us that he is willing to give Nacho veiled advice about the impossibility of trusting random people and Lalo isn't a guy who gives life advice left and right, so it indicates that he considers Nacho a special man.
It's killing me to know they left all those endless scenes Kim and Jimmy brushing their teeth, and yet they cut the one scene that would explain what exactly Lalo thinking about when brought Nacho to Mexico, the one scene that would have given infinitely more depth to the betrayal, that would allow us to understand what Lalo thinks about Nacho and about himself, his own blindness and gullibility. But Jimmy and Kim are main characters and Lalo and Nacho are not. So creators decided they didn't need subtle conflicting feelings, it have to be simple.
So we have Nacho "he's a soulless pig I wish I kill him myself, idk why though, he wanted to promote me and his cousins saved my life but I hate them all so much. fring? no, fring's good. he threatened to kill my father? big deal! I hate salamancas, that's all that matters" and Lalo "nacho? who's nacho? I know only one guy on the planet, his name is gus fring".
Tony looks old. Somebody have to make him dye his hair. Wrinkles ok, wrinkles are the price to pay for charming lively facial expressions, but gray hair is not.
It's still wild that Lalo hired a kid who he says had never hurt a fly as a guard and is so angry about his death (which of course was due to Lalo using him as a meat shield, but I'm pretty sure in Lalo's mind that's all Gus's fault).
Lucky to Be Here aside, I think Ciro had to be the son of another beloved peasant who Lalo took under his wing. An orphan maybe?
