I've never seen anything with a 9.9 rating until this episode, which is pretty good, has moments, but spends too long on Jimmy and Kim's pre-credit "cold open" scam that has little to no suspense and/or urgency for the viewer: They're having more fun than we are, as often happens when Kim teeters to the dark side: the two lovers sometimes seem like they're part of an actor's workshop...
Lalo is a good new character, and has the kind of askew, weasely charm needed to jumble things for Nacho and his new boss, Gus, but this just feels like a beginning of something, and not much more than that...
On the other side of the spectrum, the German worker subplot involving Mike comes to a head, and it's interesting, but not all that intense, and, for the most part, this is a pretty good episode, but mostly just filler, and hardly seems like the lead-in to a season finale...
It's more like they're loading the proverbial gun than even beginning to really take aim. So next week could be quite a cram session, folks. Almost seems as though they're gonna have to start from a different kind of scratch given the idyllic repose this week, and last.
