Following last night’s season finale of Breaking Bad, Giancarlo Esposito finally revealed some details about his character (Gustavo Fring)’s decision not to get into his car last week (in which Walter had rigged a bomb). Fans of the show thought that this was inexplicable and some even accused it of being weak writing.
Esposito said:
“Gus returns to that vehicle, sees it there all by itself, and he said to himself, ‘Hmmm, I left no one with that car. I did not cover that angle. I am not going there.’ It’s pure instinct. I felt that in my soul, that Gus would have that reaction.”
