They do seem to be pushing things a little bit.
One thing I have to admit is that a lot of the characters aren't aging very well. Gus and his goons especially.

Yeah, Gus looks 20 years older in a show that was supposed to take place 10 years prior. But what do you do; age is a bitch.
Yeah, this has always been set in the early 2000s. I don't remember exactly what it was but you could piece that together in the first season based on a couple of little snippets (I think there was something that showed his driver's license and DOB then later he provided his age).
Last night's episode was a little too meandery. They made some clear character development steps but it sure seemed like a strained road getting there.
And frankly, I still think he made the name a little jewish sounding on purpose. Even his character was made to look a little like the stereotypical hollywood jewish guy on the TV spot.
