I'm currently re-watching the second season of Breaking Bad, and have noticed something that I moderately over looked previously. Actually, not something but rather someone. In the beginning of the second season, when crazy man Tuco Salamanca by force, takes Walt and Jesse to a home in the middle of the desert. Tuco is taking them because they witnessed a murder that was unexpectedly exposed.
At this secluded home, one person accompanied the three characters. This person was Hector 'Tio' Salamanca, Tuco's uncle. Hector has seen better days; he is in a wheel chair, hooked up to an oxygen tank, and cannot speak. Hector communicates through yes or no answers to any of Tuco's question. He also comes off as very frustrated and mean as well.
Originally the show conveys importance on Tuco, with Hector just there as a half struggle builder. This, however is far from the truth. Hector Salamanca turns out to be a vital character all the way up to the shows current state.
After things boil with Tuco, and he ends up dead, Jesse ends up being held at the DEA offices. Jesse had no evidence against him, until Hector is wheeled in by Hank. When questioned, however, Hector does not rat out on Jesse. Why? Because we ind out later, how much he hates the DEA. Why again? Watch the fourth season to understand this great character. Hector ends up having a phenomenal back story that is so well integrated into the overall plot. The writing is amazing.
Thanks again!
See ya next time.
