At one point Gus was a minor character.
So was Lydia.
I don't understand what is so horrible about introducing new characters throughout the series as the landscape of the meth business changes.
Jack and Todd have now been in many episodes and had a lot of screen time. They are no longer fringe characters at all. What is so horrible about new characters coming in the last two seasons and having major impact on the story line?
As Walt took out his opposition to maintain his status/move up (Emilio, Krazy 8,Tuco, The rival dealers, Gus, Mike) there was always going to be someone else taking a shot at his business, as it's obviously very lucrative. Someone had to be last, and I don't get the grip that it's these guys? He's kind of taken out everyone else, and they are the most recent to go after his business.
