Goes to the genius of BB writers. How far do we go in supporting the rationalizations for the ever monsterizing Walter. So here, does our hatred for Chuck give emotional enabling to Jimmy's antics? We root for Mike, but he's awful, too.

The Shakespearean dirty protagonist slowly destroying himself is at the root of Breaking Bad. Remember in BB, Jimmy->Saul attempts the murder of Jesse. If Chuck is a reprobate, Jimmy ends up a sociopath.
