I just think they've done a really smart job the past three episodes of pointing at this character and saying, look, you all think that Jimmy is the problem here, but Kim is making every one of these choices you don't like, and she's not doing these things because she thinks Jimmy will like her more for it. She's making these choices because she wants to make them, and she has agency, and she had more than enough chances to get out but she chose to go deeper not because Jimmy needs a love interest or he manipulated her into it but because she has her own concept of what sticking it to the man is, and I'd argue she thinks maybe she can do it better and more cleanly than Jimmy has.

I agree it's probably a little inappropriate, I meant it more as in Kim is not some unwitting pity wife going along with her husband's harebrained scheme; the fact that he's even her husband is HER harebrained scheme! And I also think linking her character development back to Skylar is an interesting idea though that has its own problems. I remember a lot of the Skylar backlash being related to her "wet blanket" agenda and because Kim is more of an enabler, I suppose if any of those BB fans that hated Skylar are still watching Saul (for some reason that seems hard to believe) I don't think they're thinking any differently about how they reacted to the perfectly reasonable, normal housewife vs. the equally conniving, performatively moral legal partner.
