732082, Yea the lack of Nacho would be my only true "complaint" I think.

But yea - you're not wrong that the Mike/Germans story needed telling. I do think maybe they strung it out a bit, but at the same time I don't know where they could've trimmed it or what they could've added for Nacho's story this year. I agree that they will probably advance him a lot next season. I hope so. He's terrific.

Haha you are 100% right - they couldn't have dragged their story on any longer. All's I'm saying is that maybe the change from 3 season with that dynamic front and center, to no longer having it, created a feeling that something was sort of missing. Even if I agree that they couldn't have done anything else with that story.

No doubt.
