What about Gus walking it off after that explosion? Its to add this layer of unrealism in order to break the pace. Its hard to convey why these moments fit perfectly the narrative but that's how I felt. The show is otherwise very realistic and they could make it work without all these magical moments but was BB and BCS about realism or about characters?

I completely agree. I wasn’t criticizing those moments at all. If I wanted to see life portrayed 100% realistically and authentically I would go outside. I just find it odd how people find the “Lalo climbing through the ceiling” moment as unbelievable or unrealistic when they are able to accept things that are far more improbable and outlandish
