That's one of many reasons Breaking Bad is so awesome. It can be slow sometimes, but they still get shit done and don't take forever. That Jesse & Gus in Mexico business? BAM, one episode. If that happened on this show it probably would've taken 30 episodes and even LESS would've happened.
And in Breaking Bad, even when a ton of stuff happens in one or two episodes, which would have taken half a season in any other show, it never feels rushed.
And now I just want Breaking Bad to come back.

One episode, Gus plans to go to Mexico. Next episode, the plane ride to Mexico. Third episode, Gus and Jesse meet up with the cartel. Fourth episode, close up of the bottle of poison Gus will use. Fifth episode, the pouring of the poison.
Etc
Well I'm sure there'd be at least four or five episodes in between where they have to land the plane in the middle of the desert because they ran out of fuel and forgot to bring extra, then proceed to sit around with their thumbs up their asses.

It must be confusing, but whenever I say Less ____, more ______. I instantly think of spider-man movie reviews where some guy said "Less aunt may, more action."
