I don't understand people's hurry to get to more BB characters. The BB story line pretty much means the end of this story line.

Remember that time that Jimmy kinda killed his dad? Yeah, that shit's gonna stick with you for awhile. I still don't dislike Chuck. He's not a perfect person, but he has ample cause not to trust Jimmy and frankly, if I my sibling had 'was a factor in the death of my paragon of virtue father' on the ol' resume, I'm not sure I'd be even as cordial as Chuck has been to Jimmy thus far.

I think there's room for skepticism. For instance, he told Kim his father was a paragon of honesty, a saint, really put him on a pedestal. Thus, he couldn't imagine Dad doing anything remotely wrong. So what if ... that $14,000 missing from the business was actually Dad spending a bit on, say, gambling, or some other vice. Chuck's idealization of his Dad -- and his inherent dislike/distrust of his brother -- may have led him to wrongly assume Jimmy skimmed the money. His Dad wouldn't accept that because he knew Jimmy was innocent, but he was too guilt-ridden to fess up to Chuck. Is Jimmy so pathological that he would steal from his father? Maybe. Is Chuck so jealous of his brother, the proverbial prodigal son who is loved by the father despite his faults, who unlike Chuck has the gift of charm (which even works on Chuck's prim and proper wife Rebecca), that he would think the worst of him -- or even tell a lie to Kim in order to hurt Jimmy the only way he knows how, by driving a wedge between Jimmy and his girl? Maybe. |

I'm not pointing it out to suggest that it's necessarily 100% accurate - but Chuck thinks it is and it colors his view of Jimmy. As such, Chuck's actions and distrust of Jimmy isn't driven by malevolent motives, but rather genuine concern over the well-being of his silk stocking law practice. And as noted way back when...he was right w/r/t to Jimmy's underhanded dealings, something that Kim is now also seeing surface with regularity. Jimmy's a sympathetic figure and as you noted, he's damn charming. But he's NOT right for a large firm and frankly he's probably not cut out for the practice of law. You can't have a legal system full of guys doing what Jimmy does; the thing will fall apart. Chuck's right - giving Jimmy a law degree is giving a chimp a machine gun. The dude just refuses to straighten up and fly right.

Telling that story to Kim was a way to get her to distance herself from Jimmy. A twofer: Good for the firm -- and sure to hurt Jimmy. |

Chuck has grandized Jimmy's screwups because there's a deep seeded jealousy. Jimmy even called him on his sanctimonious BS in indirectly pushing the fallout with Kim and him. No matter how much Jimmy helps Chuck and his loony condition, he is determined to knock his brother down a peg- at work, with Kim, with his wife, going to law school, becoming a lawyer, at HHM when he worked in the mail room, and on and on... . No one is perfect, and Chuck is incapable of seeing his own faults, and especially his father's, so Jimmy is the source of blame, because his father could NEVER do anything wrong - except favor Jimmy over Chuck. His putting in a good word with Howard was only after trying to further drive a wedge between her and Jimmy, just like he doesn't want him to be successful at the new firm. For whatever reason, Chuck's self worth is very dependant on proving his superiority to Jimmy. He can't even stand his wife liking his own brother.
