Love that the Hector guy did the lip thing that gave his identity away instantly to anyone who had seen Breaking Bad first. Not that it was strictly necessary as he gave his relation away right after so even viewers of just this show would understand he's the uncle stepping in to try and resolve the issue.

I'd say I'm definitely liking the show a lot. It helps a lot that two of the characters I liked most from Breaking Bad were Saul and Mike who both take on leading roles in Better Call Saul. So even when things get a bit slow, I'm enjoying the opportunity to view them through various lenses while they're at work/home/illegal work. I know what they become, and I'm eager to see the transitional moments that lead them to develop along those lines. Like, I know it is only a matter of time before something happens with Saul's gig at David and Main. That it happened at all has already surprised me. So even with future knowledge, no, especially with future knowledge, the show is able to subvert expectations, and that's no small feat.

This second season is moving a little slowly, and it lacks the freshness that the first season had, but then Breaking Bad was not immune to this either. I've confidence things will pick up though, partly from comments here on how the show ramps up, and partly because that just seems to be how Vince Gilligan rolls....get a world firmly established, then fuck things up majestically.
