He was definitely robbed.Giancarlo should have one in 2012 after Season 4 over Paul. Gus' character in that season was just as gravitating as Walt's

I’ve been on a rewatch of both series. I had to look him up. Then I saw this:
He won 3 Emmys and a Golden Globe for BB
Hasn't really done anything noteworthy before or after Breaking Bad. Just a good fit for him. Still stand by my original statement
Exactly.
Breaking Bad revolved around a guy who had been in the "right" part of society his whole life (scientist/teacher), but who deep down was a conceited a$$hole who was capable of real evil under the right circumstances.
Better Call Saul revolved around a guy who had been in the "wrong" part of society his whole life (conman/criminal lawyer), but who deep down was a compassionate person constantly struggling to push back his demons.
The ending of Better Call Saul was exactly what needed to happen - we saw Jimmy finally repent in full and pay for all the harm he had done. He wasn't trying to get away with it anymore, he accepted what he had done and pulled the lever that ended it all. But we also got to see wheeling/dealing Jimmy in all his glory one last time, just to prove that he still had the skills to pull it off, but was choosing not to.
For those who don't realize that we saw Jimmy's compassion throughout the series:
* He takes care of his brother and tolerates his mental health issues even though his brother is a total a$$hole to him
* He rushes to care for his brother when his brother has an episode, even though it kills his cover
* He genuinely cares about those old folk and does the will for the old lady even when she doesn't have money to pay him
* He uncovers the Sandpiper case only because he was compassionate enough to listen to the old people's stories and find out they were getting screwed
* He breaks character with the Sandpiper ladies so they'll be friends with Irene again
* He pays his film crew even when he's dead broke and refuses to take back the money from them cause he made a deal
* Goes across the country to save Huell from prison
* Risked his life to save the scammer boys from the cartel
* Rather than keep over a million dollars in cash from the Kettlemens, he forces them to cut a deal with Kim to save her career
* Becomes a caretaker for Kim after she crashes her car
* Was willing to give up his life to save Kim from Lalo
Jimmy showed a level of concern for other people over and over that Walt never had.

I told cats similar things, to go rewatch "Breaking Bad". Because there's a few scenes (him giving Jesse relationship advice, him trying to end his partnership with Walt after the Brock situation, him telling Walt to turn himself in and help his family, etc.) where Jimmy briefly resurfaces.

Doing a re-watch for the 1st time. And guess what....FUKK Howard Hamlin he been a bytch azz muthafuka. Seeing how he was from the beginning makes his death not so bad as I felt when I first saw it. Ol hoe azz.
Lol...I get where he's coming from, especially if it's the first rewatch...but that caught me off guard too...

After getting through the re-watch, I take it back. Howard ultimately didn't deserve that shyt that was done to him. He tried to even make amends with Saul and Kim. Kim should've received some worse karma though. Jimmy didn't really want to do too much damage like that he just wanted to be an annoyance. She played a big part in him becoming Saul and then just bounced on him.What's the beef with Howard?

In the BB/BCS universe, there are more than a few character interactions never seen before that would have been interesting.
For starters:
Saul and the junkyard guy
Mike and Todd's uncle
Kim Wexler and Skyler, particularly K calling her out on her bad choices. Would have been a treat.
Walt and Chuck. Listening to them constantly one-up each other on their intelligence
Howard and Gus
Lalo and Tortuga

Nah they met in season 3.
Well, I guess if you want to get technical it was Jimmy and Gus.
