* FridgeBrilliance: The flower that sprouts where Nacho's body falls represents not only the end of one of the most tragic characters in the entire saga, but that the execution meeting is a turning point that will doom everyone involved. Gus's betrayal of Nacho (and Mike's failure to save him) end up leading to the events of ''Series/BreakingBad'' taking root... and appropriately, the flower is blue.

**Mike is camped in the distance with his sniper rifle during the desert meeting with the Cartel. He will be the last man standing of those assembled at the meeting before following the others into the grave, with the fall-out of Ignacio's death taking the longest to reach him.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The ending does leave great interpretation for Nacho truly having earned Gus' respect after honoring their deal, a topic repeatedly brought up by Mike ever since the former entered his fold. Although Gus is initially [[DeathGlare wary]] of Nacho when he is seemingly contemplating reneging their deal, after he honors it, Gus seems to be startled throughout his ensuing rant, especially when he takes his own life. Although the closing scene is silent, much of its camera focus is on Gus as he walks off to leave. If one looks closely, his facial expression [[TranquilFury is one of fury]], and the way he angrily pulls the car door suggests he is genuinely angered. Furthermore, the way he contemplates for a moment as Hector is desecrating Nacho's corpse leaves room to speculate on whether [[NotSoDifferentRemark he saw himself in Nacho]] with his dying declaration of hatred against the Salamancas, and if the sacrifice reminded him of Max's own death.

* NauseauFuel: Nacho having to submerge himself in oil to avoid being detected by the Twins. He then comes out hours later coughing and vomiting; imagine just how sickening having all of that oil seeping into parts of your body.

Kill Em All is no longer a trope


** When Mike mutters "Do it" under his breath, he clearly has ''Bolsa'' in his sights. Not Nacho. Was he urging Nacho to pull a TakingYouWithMe? Preparing himself to lay down cover fire and help kill the cartel men? Or, considering his open contempt for how Gus has treated Nacho, is he willing to KillEmAll and damn the consequences?

Added DiffLines:

** As he makes the decision to kill himself, Nacho gazes out into the distance straight ahead. There has been considerable debate about whether he was simply staring ahead as he makes his decision or if this is his attempt to die while looking at Mike in the distance, as he's the one person at the confrontation who doesn't want Nacho to die.
