Better Call Saul somehow ended up being _BETTER_ than Breaking Bad, which I don't think anybody was expecting to happen when the show began, even Vince Gilligan. But this video actually shows a huge part of why it was so compelling. It does all these things with every line in every scene and never even calls attention to them and goes "look how smart we are for writing this" like many other shows do. Quality is just imbued in every part of the show. Every single line is carefully considered, and has a good reason for existing, there's nothing throwaway, no fat whatsoever, only meat. You don't even notice how smart it's being until the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc time you watch it and you spot new things, or watch a great video like this that goes into one specific trend or character trait. And this aspect of the show and of Jimmy's character is really only a small part of what Better Call Saul is even about, there's hundreds of things just as important and they're all treated with absolute care just like this part is. The show has no lows, there aren't any episodes which even could be deemed a throwaway episode (like even Breaking Bad had a couple episodes that people call filler episodes, although I have to say I disagree, I think every episode of BB has a good reason for being just like in BCS, but people say things like the catching a fly episode are fillers, but I've never heard anyone say the same about any episode of BCS). And of course BCS has (eventually) all the same stuff about drugs and the cartel and murder that BB does, with most of the same characters too like Mike and Gus and Hector and Don Eladio and Tuco etc. But it's the lawyer aspect of it that really shines, the part of it which, again, BB fans weren't expecting to love as much as the cartel stuff. But in many ways, Chuck is the most fun antagonist to watch within the whole universe of BB/BCS. And the scenes about law and procedure are the ones I rewatch clips of on KZbin most, like when Chuck gets the address of the new bank wrong while in court, which is one of the most compelling scenes in the whole show, and it's just some guys talking in a room. God damn you now I'm gonna have to watch BCS all over again, for I think something like the 7th time now. It only gets better the more times I watch it. But now I'll pay even more attention to this aspect of it, Jimmy's way with words, his con artistry. You've got me hooked onto the idea of watching it all again. But that's no bad thing.

You forget that Howard played an active role in ensuring that Jimmy never moved up in his career at H&M. While yes I think your argument is still a little valid, had Chuck gotten over his ego and accepted that Jimmy would make a good addition to the law firm Jimmy could have easily been a different person. Because Chuck refused to let him move up the only behavior of Jimmy's that really got rewarded was his scammy corner cutting behavior not his genuine attempt to try and move up the company ladder and that is thanks mainly to Chuck.

On a sidenote, his British accent and all his "characters" in general always gave me a chuckle. His Louisiana twang was just so over the top I half expected the DA to catch it and ruin the scheme. If Jimmy had just used his unique gift and talents for something more constructive, a career in media advertising perhaps, I feel like he could've been really successful. As he said in Breaking Bad he's a humanities guy. He's creative, witty, eloquent, and as much as Chuck refuses to acknowledge it, very intelligent. Being a criminal lawyer is Jimmy's bad ending. Maybe working in media as an artist/producer/writer/what have you could have been his good ending. We see that he clearly has the talent for it. Such a great character. Such a bittersweet, tragic end.

what about the desert tuco scene? For me that was the best of jimmy being a manipulator

09:17 I just love that there's a guy dead asleep in the jury box! LOL, 3rd in from the left on the top row. Hilarious! EDIT: I do realize that this is a still shot from the episode, but its obvious that he's asleep and not caught on a blink.
