    For some reason, ever since that point, the image in my mind of Victor is very similar to Danny Trejo. I think Victor's character has been made to look somewhat belittled by Saul lately though and his attitude seems to have become a tad whiney. Bring back tough guy Victor!

    I'm quite the Victor fan as well and I have a theory (more of a headcanon, really.) I think that the Victor we meet is Victor 2.0. I think that Victor 1.0 was a pretty regular guy--sold insurance, played futbol with friends, still had a thing for his bitch ex, and liked to read. But then the zombie apocalypse happened and he became Victor 2.0. He does all the things he did before except selling insurance, which he's swapped out for shooting zombies in the head. Like a boss.

    There are a couple of things that make me think this. One, his defense of Pegs. Obviously, Victor is valiente but I assumed that he was just trying to get in good with her at first. (Which would be fine with me. Pegs has a special place in my heart and I automatically like people who like her.) But in retrospect, I wonder if Pegs reminds him of himself? She's with a guy who doesn't seem to be all that into her and people treat her like an idiot, despite the fact that she's a pretty nice person. Maybe Victor was in a similar situation with his ex and a job he wasn't proud of. There's something so American about that back story and the idea that Victor gets a chance to be a bad ass and not a Pegs anymore. Two, he seems to placate Saul rather than engaging him when Saul was joking about Fernando. I mean, Saul lived in tents with men for at least a year. That's a lot of material. Victor's approach seems like one of submission, which I don't say to insult him. It seems to me like he's used to avoiding conflict rather than engaging in it. (I also think that Victor 2.0 is very confident in his abilities. Victor 1.0 might have dodged because he was too weak to fight back but 2.0 is definitely not embarrassed or worried that someone might think he's gay. Because he's a bad ass and he knows it.) But I'm probably wrong about this. He's probably actually an assassin for the Vatican who kills people by ripping their throats out...with his teeth.

    Also, regarding casting Victor, he's got to look pretty trustworthy/average because people don't seem intimidated by him at first. And in my mind, Victor looks like someone's tío...a tío who wouldn't hesitate to shoot someone in the face. So, I think that someone like David Zayas would make a good Victor. He's got charisma and does a good job playing a tough guy with a heart of gold. (Of course, he's not as good looking as the guy who plays Victor, but tant pis.)


    Oh, that Victor. ¡Que hombre! Tienes que amarlo.

    Oh I didn't mean any of the cast are to blame, or how the characters are played, I meant the scripting seems to have made Victor slightly belittled by Saul for a while. Don't get me wrong, I love them both. Victor is awesome and I think I'm just missing him kicking ass.

    (Which character do you voice btw?)
