What Makes 'Better Call Saul's Lalo Salamanca One of TV’s All-Time Great Antagonists

On the July 11 episode of Better Call Saul, titled "Point and Shoot," fans had to say goodbye to one of the biggest highlights to come out of the universe first created by Vince Gilligan nearly 15 years ago. Lalo Salamanca’s demise was as inevitable as it was thrilling to watch. With only five episodes left in the masterful series created by Gilligan and Peter Gould, it was evident that Lalo would meet his end before the series concluded.

Lalo was first introduced in Season 4, Episode 8 of Better Call Saul, titled "Coushatta." One could be forgiven for thinking that at this late point in the show, a new Salamanca in the show could be ultimately regressive, however it is evident the moment Nacho walks into El Michoacáno that this man would be a game-changer.

This game of chess reaches its climax in Season 6 when, in a move to get Gus’s guys off the laundromat that hides the developing meth super-lab, Lalo comes to Jimmy and Kim’s apartment. He devises a plan to put the attention on them, but not before murdering Howard Hamlin without so much as blinking. The plan works, and he is able to get the drop on Gus and force him to show him the lab.

So True!

Perfect casting. Nothing worse than an actor playing a hispanic character who can’t speak perfect spanish. Lalo was outstanding.

Spin-off incoming?

I would agree with that statement! Sad to see Lalo Salamanca go!

ومن بعده مافي حماس 😞

He’s the most fascinating villain since Ralph Cifaretto

Rightly so

Yes

He is amazing!!!!

Such a powerhouse performance

'...There you are. You go blah blah blah and they walk out of there alive. I mean it's amazing, really!' (Pardon if not verbatim) One of my favourite lines ever and makes me laugh every time. 😂 Such a brilliant series! And the cast is outstanding! 🤩 BetterCallSaul

And I love how he delivers the lines: “tell me again”; “really” (respond to Kim telling him he needs to get his house in order), both in ep 509; and then of course “take your time” to Howard in ep 607 BetterCallSaul Lalo

He needs to be the newt Joker.

Yes!

TV's best villain

Remember Daltontony ... La familia lo es todo 💔

Dalton is a fucking badass when you speak about bad guys. His job in Sr. Ávila is awesome.
