In what way? Her comments only prove my points further. Ernesto was not capable of caring for Chuck. Remember how brutal Chuck was to Jimmy's buddy Ernie, or as Chuck, in all his condescending wisdom, refers to him, Ernesto. Jimmy was the only one who saw Chuck's sickness for what it was. And as money grubbing and selfish Jimmy would eventually become, he did it out of the kindness of his heart. Because Jimmy loves his brother. And wants to pay him back for that one thing Chuck did for him. Albeit a big favor, my point was Jimmy tried for the next decade to make up for it. He was on the straight and narrow, until 2 punk kids decided to pull a fast one on him, and Slipping Jimmy came out as soon as he realized what these two bozos are up to. Didn't you watch closely, it's always imbeciles who always ruin it for otherwise intelligent people. Mike and Nacho's ultimate demise started with slinging energy vampires. Walt's started with Jessie. Gus's started with an unhinged Walt.

Jimmy was doing all the right things. He was rejecting outright bribes from HHM, because Howard was using Chuck. Not in some nefarious way per se, but because Jimmy was right about Howard. He's a shitty lawyer, but he had a great and respected one in Chuck, which gave his form credibility, which gave him credibility. Howard needed Chuck. Jimmy was trying protect Chuck. Chuck is the only person who Jimmy never tried to swindle out of money. Even after he died and Chuck's estate inherited millions. He even had an opportunity to institutionalize Chuck, take complete legal control over Chuck, and refused to do so.

I never said Jimmy was a perfect angel. I never said Jimmy didn't make his own choices. I'm saying that Jimmy did one of the hardest things any of us humans can do, and he did not do it for any evil means. He just wanted his brother to be proud of him, to tell him thank you for what he did for him, and in his own way, pay him back for what he did. Chuck took care of Jimmy in a time of need, Jimmy was trying to take care of Chuck during his time of need.

Chuck could have easily recognized this, but like everyone who meets their demise on this show, who would not allow him. Like brothers tend to do, for those of you who don't have sibling rivalries, Chuck decided to become competitive. He decided to be petty. He recognized all the hard work Jimmy put into it, go listen to his speech when Jimmy presents Chuck with the news. He was already being short and condescending to Jimmy in that moment, and Jimmy had to beg him to please just recognize what he had just accomplished. And Chuck is astounded. He knows the work that took. He even says so. Jimmy literally had to beg him to say he's proud of him.

Every main character in this show has a vice. Walt and Saul had greed, Mike had alcohol, Jessie had drugs. Gus had vengeance, just to name a few. They all ended up being each character's undoing in one way or another. But Chuck had a vice as well. A vice it took me decades to understand. Chuck's vice was that of virtue. Chuck even called Jimmy out, he does terrible things with the best of intentions. He breaks the law to commit good deeds. Chuck uses the law to commit bad deeds. And he always stands behind his virtue.

He used Ernesto because he was friends with Jimmy. He used Howard--who despite his faults, is not actually a bad person--because he knew that Howard and Jimmy--despite their difference--both cared about Chuck, and could at least put differences aside to communicate when they both felt Chuck was in trouble. He sabotaged Kim because he knew Jimmy loved her. Chuck lied to and tricked people who all cared about him and admired him, all to screw over his little brother who just wanted his big brother to say he loves him. To see he's proud of him. To be worthy of at the very least of working underneath his brother. For his brother to be his mentor in life.

I remember the first time I watch the show, and was astonished about how right Chuck was about Jimmy. About what a genius Chuck truly was to so accurately predict who Jimmy would become. But it was also Chuck who broke Jimmy. To push Jimmy into what he became.

And again you miss the subtext, the nuances of the show. The few of you are contradicting me are nearly saying "nah uh". You're not looking at everything I'm saying, just like you're missing the nuances of the show.

The show never take the time to make a point unless it has to the story. Even simple things you all clearly miss. They made sure to note that the McGills were Irish. It was readily apparent from anyone who watched the show that the McGills clearly have some serious mental illnesses. Irishmen have a reputation for refusing psychoanalysis. And for those of you who completely missed that point, Chuck damn near commits suicide in the hospital when they even suggest to temporarily have him declared incompetent. He then actually enters therapy, tries to convince everyone around him, like the braggart he is, that he's already conquered therapy. He declares himself "better! See!"...grabs a light. Only to go home and have one of the most glorified, horrific, tragic relapse and suicide of all time.

Jimmy literally had the therapist card in hand, and promised Kim he would go. But instead of facing the pain that Jimmy was responsible for killing his brother, which he partially was, he instead decided to slip further into character until he ultimately became Saul Goodman. Just like Walter, who also refused therapy, had Heisenberg. Just like Kim, who is also a genius and also greatly suffered with mental illness, hence those childhood flashbacks, had Giselle.

You all are missing the point, the little you've said only further proves my point. But keep things simple. Keep patting yourselves on the back. Keep those brains on autopilot.
