In the episode where the finer things club is shown, Pam is talking about how like attractive one of the characters is and Oscar (openly gay characters, remember this, it's important) is agreeing but istg Toby is agreeing too????? The problem is Toby is a quiet character so it's hard to tell exactly what he said SO I looked up the script, and I can't find a single one that actually says what Toby said so it's completely up for interpretation. But, I think it's safe to assume that Toby is agreeing that this male protagonist (as the finer things club puts it), is attractive.

Thus, Toby gay realness. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

here's how I would fix the Gus-Mike relationship issue BCS had (you know, the one where by the end there was practically zero hint of the kind of respect Mike has for Gus that we eventually see in BrBa, and instead it just seems like he hates him):

it all comes down to their extremely different views and attitudes toward Nacho. as we all know, Mike has much more sympathy and positive regard for Nacho than Gus, who - though he doesn't state it outright - has loathed him from the start for nearly stealing his revenge (however unknowingly) and for having worked for the Salamancas. Mike sees that Nacho is different from the vast majority of people in the game, that he's good and honorable at his core; Gus doesn't see that and considers Nacho as nothing but a Salamanca enforcer, scum working for scum

if I could rewrite canon, I would make it so that when Nacho unequivocally proves this wrong by choosing to die to ensure his father's safety, Gus reacts more to it. l would have him show, through his treatment of Nacho in his final hours, that he now sees the kind of person Nacho really is

I would have him do that by being the one to cook Nacho's last meal

this article calls Nacho's last meal "a recognition of his humanity," and I completely agree with that. I just think it should have been a recognition from Gus as well as from the narrative. I think showing Gus preparing Nacho's last meal with his own hands would make it clear that Gus's view of Nacho has shifted in a major way, and when Mike sees that, his respect for him as 'different from the Salamancas' will be reaffirmed, despite the cruelty of what they're doing to Nacho

the one thing I'm torn about is whether or not I would have Gus make the same thing Nacho eats in canon or if I'd have him make his paila marina that he makes for everyone else we ever see him cook for. the article I linked above also quotes an interview with MM where he emphasizes the fact that Nacho eats his last meal with dignity, saying, "It was really important for me that he use a fork and knife and that he put salt and pepper on his food." you lose that if it's a soup/stew he's eating, but then again, it would make it even more personal, so very clearly Food That Gus Prepared

and as long as I'm making rewrites, I could say that at some point prior to this Gus makes paila marina for Mike and they eat it together. that would make for a great moment, Mike seeing Gus bring Nacho his final meal (Gus would also be the one to directly give it to him), realizing what it is, and knowing immediately that Gus made it himself because he now understands and respects Nacho the way Mike does
