Has Your Opinion of Hamlin Changed?

Yes. Once it was revealed in Season 1 that Chuck was orchestrating all that crap, I instantly grew to love Hamlin.

Hamlin is the closest thing to a "normal" person in this show. He has a bit of an ego but it's a simple lawyer/boss ego you'd expect. He's just a man wanting to do his job and protect his reputation.

I actually hope for the best for Hamlin. The actor playing him is funny as hell and Hamlin has proven himself to be a reasonable man. He also has an undying loyalty to Chuck which (while possibly misplaced) lends a lot of credibility to the type of person he is.

Hamlin is excellent.

All of Hamlin's actions are perfectly understandable except for the fact that he didn't appear to support Kim becoming a partner. He didn't seem to care when she was sent to basically the HHM dungeon (I think this was in part for her 'support' of Jimmy's unapproved commercial). At least that is how I remember it, unless Howard played a bigger role in Kim being given the shaft.

After it became clear that it was Chuck and not Hamlin keeping Jimmy from being hired as a lawyer I didn't see him as a jerk, with the exception of how he treated Kim.

He brought a 35-year old Macallan single malt Scotch whiskey. That costs about $1800. Probably should share it with better company. A 1926 bottle sold for $54,000 at auction.

Yes it has... still not sure if it's by the design of a slow reveal, or a change of heart on the part of the writers.

Marie in Breaking Bad changed for me a lot... at the beginning she was insufferable, by the end she was the most sympathetic character.

To some extent. I still think he mistreated Kim, but it was interesting when it came out that Howard had never been behind the sabotaging of Jimmy, that it was Chuck all along and Howard just willingly took the blame for it so Chuck and Jimmy's relationship wouldn't suffer. Cowardly dick move on Chuck's part though, putting that on him. He should have just been straight with Jimmy all along. Interesting that Howard went along with it.

He's a bit of a bastard but not so much as we were originally led to believe. On the other hand, I have a real problem with his instantly believing Chuck when Chuck told him Jimmy had forged those documents. Even with the tape, Howard knew what was going on there and he would have assumed Jimmy had simply told Chuck what he wanted to hear. Anyone in the know would have.

I agree. He seems like a caring person. And if not for Chuck, he would have definitely given Jimmy a chance at the law firm since Hamlin clearly has respect for him.

That's what I was think when I was watching the latest episode. At first he seemed like a real dick, but now he seems like a nice guy. And he seems to genuinely care.
