back to the BB comparison.. took 3 -4 episodes for BB to really grab my attention, and as I said earlier, wasn't until I went back and watched the 1st episode of BB that I realised just how much it grew as it went on, and wasn't balls out from the start, no matter what my original rose-tinted recollection was (not saying it was particularly slow, but the drawn out scenes with his son, the annoying as fuck skyler, the boring sister, etc).
I'm actually way more into BCS at this early stage, because now I've seen how Gilligan develops the chracters/storylines, I'm excited about what is going to unravel as BCS goes on, with kind of 'butterflies' of anticipation of 'the moment' Jimmy becomes Saul (or at least the path to him), in a way that I never was with early BB, purely because well... who could fucking know how that was going to grab you by the guts like it did.
Now I know how he develops characters & plotlines, it's all the more enthralling.
