Breaking Bad Bits

[VGNonly]

The Cousins in BB weren't cousins, but brothers and suposeded twins. Portrayed by real brothers Daniel (born 1980) and Luis Moncoda (born 1977). Marco (Luis) was the first to die, Hank shot him dead. Leonol (Daniel) lingered after losing his legs, Mike then poisoned him.

Anyone else have any bits?

1. It's been about 10 years since I last watched, but I recall them being twins on the show

Were they portrayed as cousins? I really need to watch again.

3. Hector had several nephews.

Tuco was one branch, Lalo another, and Leonol and Marco the 3rd branch. Jouquin was Hectors grandson, 1st cousin once removed from the other cousins. Tuco remarked that his "cousins" (not that Leonol and Marco were cousins) were coming to take Walt and Jessie to Mexico

Gonzo was Tuco's brother in-law. The family matriarch was Abuletia, Hector's mother and Tuco's grandmother. She was on 2 episodes on Better Call Saul.

5. Was there ever any talk

about a prequel featuring Lalo? I can't remember if I read that somewhere or if it was just my wife and I agreeing that we would both watch that series because he was a great character.

6. I heard some hardcore fans were pushing for it.

I haven't heard of any serious proposals.

7. When the "Cousins" were crossing the border,

they passed from Mexico to Texas on a truck. The problem is that the Texas/Mexico border is entirely bisected by the Rio Grande River. A good scene but it could not have happened.
