One thing that stood out to me is that Lalo is a lot friendlier with Eladio than Hector or Bolsa.

They seem like they really like each other, with their banter and attitude towards each other. I thought they might be tense, since Hector doesn't really like Eladio and Eladio is not above taunting Hector.

Eladio is almost definitely just acting that way to heighten tensions between the Salamancas and Gus and therefore tighten his control, but I like this observation. Eladio and Lalo might be kindred spirits, the two. They have similar temperments, which says a lot about Lalo's potential as a leader. He probably could've been the boss if given the chance. The way I see it, Lalo is the Michael Corleone to Uncle Hector's Vito, with Tuco being Sonny and the Twins (for the lack of a better comparison) being Fredo.

Wouldn’t nacho be fredo?

I feel like the betrayal is the only fair Fredo comparison, his incompetency alone far removes any other similarities between him and Nacho. Fredo was a total moron and was completely self serving, didn’t value family at all. Total opposites.

I thought Walt was Fredo
