Oh man, so disappointed with that ending. Both parts of it. The hit and the discussion about setting up Howard.

Fring specifically says he's hired the best to do the hit. The professional squad were all set to do it (and presumably pull it off successfully) before he even gave them Nacho as the inside man. Then Nacho opens the doors as requested, tells the hitmen EXACTLY where Lalo is. He's already distracted. He's a little bit tipsy. He's unarmed. And all FIVE of the elite hitmen squad can't take him out? It was like amateur hour. They managed to kill literally everyone else in the entire house except for Lalo, and one of them survives long enough to do the dramatic crawl to nowhere and hand over his walkie talkie so Lalo can dupe Fring that it's been a "success". I didn't buy a second of that sequence from the moment Nacho opened the gate. And where the hell did he run to??! He would have been way better off just killing Lalo himself. He had so much opportunity.

Then on the discussion about ruining Howard to win the Sandpiper case, it felt out of character for Kim (even though they've been slowly trying to corrupt her throughout, it was still just too much evil - even Jimmy isn't really up for it.) And it was quite boring. Thinking of ways to ruin Howard was ok for a bit, but then the idea that it was such compelling discussion they're still talking about it after their meal while they're having sex, then still talking about it afterwards. I mean, jesus. I don't think I've talked about a single subject for so long ever, especially such a trivial one (since they start out joking).

The whole rest of the series was so on point, the showdown between Lalo Saul and Kim in the penultimate episode was incredible, fantastic TV, so unpredictable. And then this is how they end it?! Man. Might be the worst episode of any of the seasons yet.

Thoughts?
