No, but I may start deliberately ignoring you pretty soon. 

I don't see much Ricardo Montalban in the anxious, distracted Hector that meets Zoyd for lunch in Ch. 3, do you?

I get a picture of the urbane, upper class Montalban of the 80s Chrysler commericals, caressing the r-r-rich Cor-r-rinthian leather of a convertible seat. That may be what Hector aspires to, but I don't think it's a characterization he can sustain. His default persona seems more like a weirdly inverted Cheech Marin than Ricardo Montalban.
