Pros:
Tucco: Everything was unpredictable when he was still around. His performances were amazing in a 70s New Hollywood type of way. The Emmys and Golden Globes sucked by not nominating him.
The writing was amazing. We had no idea how Walt was going to strike against him.
Jesse Pinkman really got to evolve: He was not a sidekick to Walt anymore. He was made more human than he was having a girlfriend, a family of his own he manages to destroy at the same time as Walt.
Saul and new business plans have been introduced: The new characters really shook up what seemed slow and uninteresting this season.
Season 2, Episode 10: This seemed to be a standout episode for the season. Everything seemed to be crumbling around the protagonists.
The finale got us wanting more. Walt got his money, missed his baby, and his family got separated.
Cons:
The bad economy: Wow, what a terrible thing to happen to a great series in the middle of its seasons. The 2008 writer's strike happened in the middle of Season 2, and as a result a lot of the following happened.
Predictability (What happened to the chemistry from the chemistry teacher?!): The only thing that was unpredictable about this season was how predictable it was going to be. The first season was an intricate chess game between Tucco and Walter White. This season all of that seemed to be shoved out of there for nothing particularly riveting done with the franchise.
Jesse and White trying to kill each other: This made no sense this season. Sure, Jesse took drugs, but there was no reason for Mr. White to believe that he was horribly incompetent, besides being all chemistry teacher-like. Later on, it makes sense that the distributor does not like Jesse, because he noticed that he was high in the middle of a public meeting, making him look like a fool to deal with them. He does anyway for whatever reason, but it was still one of the highlights of the season.
