... kind of irked me more than it should've. Because I tend to agree with everything you said below. Nothing throughout the season was *bad* per se. I just didn't love how disjointed it felt. Maybe it was hangover from not having the Chuck/Jimmy dynamic any longer. Maybe it was the fact that Nacho was ignored for large parts of the season. I'll probably feel better about it once I re-watch the last 2 eps. Like I said for whatever reason it just didn't feel as tightly knit as seasons 1-3.
