The exact pace I expected (see my episode 4 review)

Happy dying doesn't erase his scenes from Sons of Anarchy, cry a river and go rewatch that if you can't handle SOA characters dying in Mayans. They're not untouchable because they came first lmao

The slow pacing is pretty much what I expected after episode five, as well as it focusing on less stories. I probably would have rated this a 6 or 7 if it weren't for the scene with happy and the scene with Luisa preparing to kill Ezekiel. I think Luisa might team up with Ezekiel and take soledad down instead. If she does try to kill him, I reckon he would overpower and kill her. I'm also curious to see what Luisa meant by it'll soon be time for Adelita to strike. She has always been my favorite character and I'm glad they've tied her into the main story for the final season. They dropped the ball with Emily way back in season 3. I do not care about Sofia or her backstory as I can't imagine any of it will be relevant, It's just extra padding for her. They want to humanize her a bit. Oh well. What happened to Taza? I know he's gone nomad, but are they really going to wait until the last few episodes to tie him back in? That being said, they brought Happy back and killed him within one scene. Not to suggest they'll bring Taza back just to kill him, but clearly they don't mind limiting characters and their screen time. I think these last four episodes should be well over an hour long each, as that's what Sons of Anarchy did and I think there's way too much story to tell in just under four hours. Excited to see where it all lands, I hope they don't drop the ball.

Lazy Writing for Cheap Shock Value

There is no way Happy would be in Mayan territory alone given his personal history with the Reyes brothers and the current war.

And then we are expected to believe he didn't hear their truck, footsteps or talking on the front steps? The dogs didn't bark? His gun wasn't close? We are supposed to believe the stone cold killer was taken down so easily by the Reyes brothers???

It wasn't true to his character at all. The show without Kurt Sutter has been all over the place. Appreciate they are different shows but there is no Mayans MC without SOA, and Elgin James seems determined to destroy its legacy.
