Even if people were all kind, life itself is still hard and will still kick you in the ass. After all, someone does need to be practical, and do the dirty work. If the world were as sweet and selfless as Jimmy's father, it would be chaos or an hardscrabble, dying commune. He lost the business, and then he died very soon after. If the world were as honest and responsible as Nacho's father, it would be a better place.īut Jimmy's father wasn't successful - he couldn't take care of himself or his family. I do see the parallel, but I think a really fundamental difference between Nacho's father and Jimmy's is that Nacho's father is *successful.* His business is successful, he can take care of himself, and he can take care of his family. Nacho is also the criminal son of an honest man, but we don't see him having any resentment towards his dad for making an honest living. This would eventually lead to Jimmy becoming Slippin Jimmy and will inevitably lead to the birth of Saul Goodman. Jimmy was the super pleasant nice guy who everyone loved, but they also took advantage of his trusting nature. In a way, I think there's a parallel to Jimmy and his father. I do wonder how Nacho came to be connected to the drug world, considering his dad is such a nice, honest guy. I think Jimmy's comments to Marco only showed part of his complex feelings for his father Chuck said no one cried harder than Jimmy did at the funeral. But then again we see the family loyalty in Jimmy in taking care of Chuck even after he's found out that Chuck was behind not hiring him at HHM. We also see Tuco's loyalty to Tio after his stroke in BB. As to their fathers, Nacho may have more respect for his father as a cultural matter. Nacho also displayed a bit of Jimmy-style contempt for the jerk when he went after Pryce's baseball card collection in his house. That's an interesting perspective that I hadn't thought of. I'm sure by next week he will do something else to make me hate him again, but this was actually a good episode for him. I never thought I would be rooting for Chuck, but I actually did have some nice feelings towards him when he was so happy about doing his own shopping, and when he was planning his party. I can see that guy being the sort who is really just kind of a wimp who would run and hide the second a mild conflict happens. I don't think his threat to the parole guy was his best, but I think he read him as a guy who loves having tiny amounts of power over people, but when he gets even a small amount of pushback, he will immediately back down. I will admit, I do enjoy watching his hustle though, especially when its towards people who were assholes. He could have done so much more, could be spending his future drinking mojitos on a beach, instead of managing a mall Cinabun place. Its honestly rather sad that Jimmy is using his considerable intelligence and charisma for petty low level bullshit. Not that everyone whos a criminal was raised by criminals, or vice versa, but I would like to know more of how he ended up here.
Yeah he's a criminal and not in any way a good person, but he isn't unnecessarily cruel or sadistic, unlike a lot of the other villains (looking at you, Hector) and right now, his goals (killing his evil boss before he drags his dad into the business) are at least somewhat noble. Oh my God, I thought I was going to be the one to have a stroke watching Nacho messing with that medication! Oh my God so intense! Its crazy how much I've started rooting for Nacho in this season.
