What Jimmy does is actually different from what Chuck does, however reprehensible the latter. Chuck persuades a client, using less sincere tactics but fighting on the same turf as Kim, when she persuaded that same client earlier. Jimmy alters documents to deceive Chuck into working on approvals for the wrong site. His goal is to embarrass and discredit his brother, but he’s also taking revenge on Mesa Verde for their perfidy, and using means that give credence to Chuck’s distrust of his lawyering. It’s a betrayal of another order entirely. And maybe the worst part is that Jimmy takes advantage of Chuck’s incapacitation and then takes credit for staying with him all night.
He regards himself as responding in kind to Chuck’s attack, but without consciously making the choice, he’s broken the bond of brotherhood that—as recently as “Amarillo”—compelled him to treat Chuck with humanity. Tonight when Jimmy puts his keys and phone into the mailbox before heading into Chuck’s house, it’s not because he cares about Chuck (after all, Chuck subjected himself to much worse, voluntarily, to screw him over). It’s part of the pretense that’s needed to carry out the con, to separate Chuck from the one thing he loves the most: his professional reputation based on the quality of his work. True, when he walks in, Jimmy doesn’t know how he’ll get his revenge. But he’s seething cold, not hot; he’s not there to have it out with Chuck but to look for a weakness he can exploit.
Jimmy is sure that Chuck deserves it, like the ******** whose checks he accepts in bars. But that’s a judgment that, however understandable in the moment, no one should take on themselves. When you aren’t hit-and-running tequila-swilling, Blutoothing douchebags as Viktor with a K, the damage you cause doesn’t get left in the rear-view mirror.

Exactly! I hope Jimmy's tampering really damages Chuck.
Nah, man.
He didn't even seem all that interested until Howard told him about... Jimmy. THEN he bolts to his closet, "I'm going to the meeting!"
If Kim would have just went on her own, no renting with Jimmy, or she would have went to another firm and took that bank case with her, he just chalks it up to, "Welp, what'r'ya gonna do? On to the next one."
But, "Yep. She's pooling resources with Jimmy"? OH HAYL nah.
We gotta know by now that it's just going to come back down on Jimmy eventually, though.
I see this as similar to BB in that we're pretty much rooting on a scumbag. I think part of the fun for the writers is seeing what it takes to make an audience turn on a main character.
Only thing is I really don't see Jimmy's motivations being as strong as Walt's, so I have a hard time ignoring the fact that he's kind of making bad decision after bad decision.
Jimmy's way was to form a 2 partner law firm. She doesn't want that cuz Jimmy admits he's still gonna be crooked.On another note, Im starting the think the reason why Kimmy and Saul fall out is because she'll blame him for her failure of stepping out on here own.
Did Jimmy plant the seed? Yeah, but she didn't follow his game plan, and her hollier than thou attitude gone do her in.
Or she will eventually try it Jimmies way, get caught up, and blame Jimmy.
Either way her failure will be blamed on Jimmy.
Yeah in both shows, the writers seem to fool the audience by surrounding the scumbag main character with really unlikable ppl So they spend all that time disliking them even though they're right and rooting for the dude in the wrong just cuz it's a bit of an underdog story.We gotta know by now that it's just going to come back down on Jimmy eventually, though.

It is much harder for me to be rooting for Jimmy non-stop and hating a guy like Chuck. He's just a jerk and in a situation like that the answer is to distance yourself from him for good. It was different with ppl like Skylar cuz she was family.
Eh, Walt had a wife and kid with another kid on the way. He wasn't getting a divorce. He didn't want one. Don't forget what went down when it was Skylar who wanted out. He was doing it all for his family in his mind.It is much harder for me to be rooting for Jimmy non-stop and hating a guy like Chuck.

What the **** is Chuck?
He's family, even moreso than Skylar. You can divorce a wife, you can't divorce a brother.
And if you think Chuck is "just" a jerk, then I don't know what to tell ya. He's absolutely no better than Jimmy, he's just slimy in a different way is all. Don't make him better, or cleaner or any of that.
This right here is the story of my life. Older brother was always top of the class academically. Eventually became a doctor. Can't remember him ever failing a damn thing in life. I always got into trouble, mostly average in school and got a Computer Science and Psychology degree for the sake of having an education. My street smarts > his thoughI look at Chuck as the star sibling whereas jimmy as always seen as the screw up.. Even though jimmy would have been wiser to the ways of the world and not willing to get down with the system
We see it all the time in the real world.. The one sibling who is book smart and the other is street smart.. Chuck was probably all cool with everything til jimmy went and got a law degree and then things became awkward
