10 Other Breaking Bad Characters Who Should Get A Spin-Off

7. Hector €˜Tio€™ Salamanca

Speaking of Salamancas, does Tio ring a bell? (badum tish.) Crazy runs in the Salamanca blood like an undercooked prawn curry through your digestive system; Tuco was crazier than a Gnarls Barkley/Aerosmith duet, his cousins were a twinful of silent psychopathy, and then there€™s patriarch/exploding grandpa Hector €˜Tio€™ Salamanca. Tio might crap on the idea of a spin-off like he would an interrogation room floor, but his character€™s ripe for a little further exploration. A former drug runner and right hand man of Don Eladio, a couple of Breaking Bad€™s many flashbacks gave us a glimpse of just how unpleasant Tio was in his prime. Half-drowning one of his nephews for some overly aggressive high jinks, emptying his bladder in the boss€™s swimming pool before drowning Gus Fring€™s business partner and possible lover in it €“ Tio was all class, all the time. Nevertheless, it was hard not to feel a smidgen of sympathy for the curmudgeonly old scrote when Gus Fring took to taunting him at every turn and killing off anyone he€™d ever been close to. Still, it€™s fair to say Tio had the last laugh. Sneer. Actually, we just don€™t know how to describe it.
A Tio spin-off charting the days that took him from ruthless enforcer to the scourge of Casa Tranquila? Grumpy Old Men meets Saved by the Bell. We€™d watch it€ not sure Hank would tune in though.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
