The last 2 episodes have been slower but I've still enjoyed them a lot, it's clear it's all leading to something big regarding the Howard and Lalo plot lines, it's all so meticulous that I have to watch the episodes two times in a row and still look up some info online, for example I was a bit confused by Gus in Pollos and in the lab but after rewatching it again I think I get what it's leading to, him mentioning the spice curls immediatly triggered him because he pitched them to madrigal before, madrigal is a german company, his contructions workers were german, and Werner Zeigler has a widow in Germany, Lalo is aware of all this info, later Gus goes to the lab and as usual inspects everything, a bit weird but ok, he then does a "robotic" walk to the excavator and leaves the gun in the tires, I thought that perhaps him leaving the gun there was realizing Lalo can't "strike" now as he said so there's no reason to be paranoid but him checking the power cable, counting his steps, he knows Lalo is digging up info on the lab, he knows he will find it, he wants Lalo to go there, right into his trap, lights out, bam, perhaps the famous theory that Lalo is buried under the lab may prove to be correct!
Overall I just love how this season is really show and don't tell and forces you to think and remember certain details that will fly right over your head if you haven't rewatched the show, the Howard scheme is certainly getting more interesting because it's clear now it's not as straightforward as we might think, whatever Jimmy and Kim have planned is even more complex than we imagine and it was great to see Lalo back I hope he has more to do this season but I'm not counting on it.
Excited for the final two episodes from this first half but bummed out that we have to wait a few months for the rest of the season, hopefully they don't leave us with a big cliffhanger.
