I enjoyed the show's very deliberate pace throughout seasons 1 and 2 but, on second viewing, this last episode was just too much. It's Hannibal-season-3 level tedious. It felt at times like the script had come out short and so the director decided to linger on long, drawn-out moments to fill the time (which I know isn't what happened because the episode was actually 10 minutes longer than normal).
I love this show. I want it to do well and not get cancelled. But it keeps getting slower and it keeps hemorrhaging viewers.

I love the deliberate pace. Everyone realises that Mike's brief 2 episode story arc is going to have an amazing payoff, right? Don't forget, BB had an entire episode about killing a fly.

Which is one of my favorite episodes of Breaking Bad, not actually about killing a fly, and way more entertaining than BCS S3E1.

I thought the season 3 premier was pretty good.

Kelley Dixon is the most annoying person in the history of the universe

The Fly episode of BB sucked.
Bryan Cranston (an AMAZING actor) notwithstanding, Better Call Saul is a much better show and if it gets cancelled I will kill someone.

Last night's episode was pretty good. I was worried that they were going to drag a couple of things out, but it looks like things are getting going quickly this season.

The photography in episode 2 is unbelievable, especially during Mike's boring stakeout

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
