100% agree, my only comment on that was with BB there was the known drug aspect and while slow you BB hooked you in the first ep on the promise of more to come.Guys Breaking Bad starts off slow too trust me this show will be something special. Vince Gilligan writes amazing material with incredible character growth. I know this show is going to be the real deal.

Breaking Bad starts off slow too
Though if you look at it as laying the background/ground work for what is to come, it does have a huge amount of potential to be as good or better than BB if they ramp it up and drop some of the less believable/silly sections out.

Yip, I agree, it does have potential. I just guess that I've seen numerous series go down the line of more accessible 'silliness' when they run out of quality, clever, somewhat darker material. South Park and Peep Show both come to mind for being guilty of this, though both have reclaimed themselves eventually. I just hate it when I find myself cringing at the portrayal of humour in something like this, especially when it was previously good. A lot of people don't seem to mind, but like I say, it does seem to make it more accesible, so that is a given.
I dunno, the first episode of Breaking Bad was pretty captivating. I do agree with regards to Vince Gilligan though. The character growth on breaking bad was sublime, and it's intriguing to know that we will see both Saul and Mike grow into the characters we knew on breaking bad.
Edit: I've just had another thought, and I really don't mean to tarnish this thread with cynicism and negativity. But another thing that irks me are the two brothers who were skateboarding. Their characters just seemed so badly acted and misplaced. Almost like these unreal vaguely Napoleon Dynamite esque characters. How old were they meant to be? It kind of seemed like they'd hired a couple of actors approaching 30 to play the parts of a couple of seventeen year old kids.
Some parts were good though. I am optimistic. I think. As others have mentioned, I have faith in the characters we know and the director.
Did they mention their age or is it possible they are just older slackers still living with their parents?
As for the skater guys, they struck me as just 2 stoners who skate, probably around 24-28 years old and they're bums who just want to get high and skate forever so they pull some shady scam, there they go, money for weed, food, etc plus my guess is that they still live with mom and/or dad so they don't spend as much as if they had an apartment to pay rent on too. I say this because i know people who are in their late 20's who pull scams to avoid getting a real job, to pay for dope and they still act 17 years old and dress like teenagers too.
Saul should bump into a young Walter White on the street, and they just like glance at each other for a second.
That would be totally fucking epic, yo...
Only during Easter.There are surely going to be a fair few 'easter eggs' (do people still use that term?).
Only during Easter.
Is the show any good at all? Is it set in Albuquerque NM?
