We see here that Chuck IS right. There is a part of Jimmy that will always slip back into Chimp with a Machine Gun mode. He's the hero of the story, so we love him; but we should recognise him for what he is: someone who turns life's misfortunes into an excuse to do wrong to others.

There's that moral ambiguity that tripped me up (and that tripped Chuck up). Jimmy is using his skills as a scammer to further his law career, yes. That's why he's no hero.

We see what Saul becomes; dodgy law practice, scamming together class action lawsuits against American Airlines, fake neck braces, pickpocketing to get ricin into Jesse's hands. Saul is a bad guy. Just as Mike is a good criminal and Walt is a bad criminal, Chuck is…
