Levy was slime, but he was a big character. I liked Gus from the newspaper, but it seemed like they were making him too perfect and the other guy too slimy. Seemed that way for all of the newspaper characters, except the dude in cap's avatar. IMO, after two viewings, season 5 was kind of a mess. Well below season 2 (which after a 2nd viewing is really good) and miles behind seasons 1, 3 and 4.

The newspaper characters deserve to be in the NIT where Gus should dominate.

I just figured out that Uverse gives you access to HBO Go streaming. I just started episode 1. I hope this lives up to the hype.

It'll take a few episodes before it starts to kick in. Give it a chance.

Bold for emphasis because I'm pretty sure that the waterhead missed that part of your post.

I'm confused a little about who some of the characters are, but I can see that it's a good. I like how they dump you in the middle of shit. As much as I liked The Sopranos, the initial visit to Dr. Melfi being used as a means of introducing the core group of characters is a little patronizing upon multiple viewings.

They make you figure it out yourself. And you will, as long as you pay attention.

Just got around to watching this. Fucking impressive. Daniels was great. Loved Cutty too, even though it was short.
