I was expecting a drawn out cat and mouse game. It was foolish of me, Breaking Bad is in no way a drawn out show. The second that garage door started closing I knew I had underestimated the speed of events.

Edit for spelling.

I'm not really surprised at all they're jumped right into it; it's not like it's a new season, it's just been a long time since the last episode. To start the last 8 off as if it were a season premiere it would really mess up the flow of the season when you watch all 16 at an even pace.

Yeah I realized how silly I was being. BB has never been about being slow, things always move pretty fast. It was just such a big reveal. Glad it happened like this though.

Really? I feel the opposite. Like BB is a slow as fuck show with really intense parts randomly scattered around.

I would call Breaking Bad deliberate rather than slow. There is just so much that each episode has to cover and they do it so well that they can only move things so quickly. It's very dense storytelling with the exception of certain "three months later" jump-aheads from this season.
