Wow, a very action packed season. We start off with a banger, as Tuco gets coincidentally shot by Hank. What a great coincidence for our heroes; Hank really saves their asses in addition to becoming a hero for slaying a drug lord. Tuco is one of the nastiest villains we see the entire show; he's so bloodthirsty and temperamental. Only his cousins rival his bloodlust, but we only meet them next season.
Gus Fring is my favorite! He's not quite as compelling in this season, yet, but he's still pretty impressive. I liked the touch where he donated to Walter's cancer jar when he visited the DEA. He (Gus, not the actor) is really good at playing a villain; he wasn't scared to be publicly seen with local police.
We also met Saul Goodman this season. Another great character, Saul has already saved our main duo's butts a few times by the end of the season. Walt especially gets himself in tons of trouble with his intense levels of ambition
The Jane plot line, is, of course, very sad and compelling. We remember her as a victim, but she's definitely an asshole a few times throughout this season. Both Jesse and her are bad influences on each other. Jesse this season was totally out of control, too
Still, she didn't deserve what Walt ends up doing to her. He's so cold and selfish. Such a liar, too. Gosh, what great TV.
They set up the airplane crash debris plot point way early in this season, with the pink bear floating in the Whites' pool. I definitely thought that was related to the meth, which didn't make any sense because I knew how many seasons we had before Walt gets discovered by the police. But the setup is marvelous; they just keep getting better.
5.7 / 6 stars
