    Jokes aside, Lyle is probably one of the most morally pure people in the Breaking Bad universe. We don't see a lot of him, but in the moments we do, we see a young, cordial and hardworking member of society just trying to get a start in the world. He doesn't even protest to basically getting a tighter schedule upon Gus informing that he won't be in for the whole week, and instead chooses to express his condolences and worries instead.

This is something that most people really never do, and I find it very wholesome to see a character like Lyle exist in this universe. I wish to see more of him. Loyal Lyle.

    The fryer scene hits me totally different now. After the S6 scene where Gus is scrubbing the grout on his tub, I'm starting to think that cleaning was one of his go-to outlets when under a lot of stress. Maybe Gus *wanted* to scrub the fryer himself, but not so badly that he didn't respect Lyle's desire to fix the perceived problem.

He cleaned, tended to the customers, took orders, made food, etc. Being on the frontline with your employees really does make them like you better.

      That might’ve been moreso Mike tbh, i think Gus appreciated Lyle but really respected Mike as a pro in the game.

    Gus HAS to be paying Lyle a truckload of money for him to be willing to show up at work, at 4 AM, singing the damn restaurant's jingle while still having the audacity to ask Fring if he's running late.

    Lyle is Gus’s top man
    Not Mike, not Victor and certainly not Tyrus 😎
    He survived through the events of Breaking Bad and to my relief he wasn’t one of those victims of the 10 men killed and shanked in prison by Jack’s gang as ordered by Waltuh White. I guess even Waltuh feared Lyle 😂
