First episode of s2 threw me for a loop in the first few minutes. I was like 'but didn't last season end with this?'. I'm not used to seeing repeated scenes in western shows like this. I suppose it was a bit of an awkward cliffhanger spot that merited refreshing audience's minds. To say nothing of the opening bit before it that raises more questions than answers, which I'm sure will unfold as the season develops.

All in all, a pretty alright way to kick off the new season. I like how everyone's got their own little circle of people they can interact with because that's basically life. So Hank can go to a DEA office and pal around with someone for a bit and it feels natural and right. It all works to shift the overall plot ever forward, but if we didn't know Walt was the main character, conceivably anyone else could step up and fill in the void and not a whole lot would change (aside from the entire feel of the show).

Anyway, rambling aside, I'm pretty keen to find out what Tuco has planned for Walt and Jesse with this charming little kidnapping cliffhanger. Also keen on seeing just how much Walt can milk his cancer as an excuse for all the shady things he's doing like staying up with a knife watching the windows.
