Let’s Just Call It The Fallacy Of Sunk Costs

yeah

the way the three ghosts in "saul gone" are all people who weren't able to time travel or willing to change the paths they were on.....mike who regretted taking his first bribe but freely chose to remain in gus's employ, convincing himself he was on a Bad Choice Road and there was no getting off of it......walt who never stopped blaming gretchen and elliot for all of his problems and could never admit what his real regrets were, dismissing the possibility of time travel (and thus changing your fate) outright......chuck who would literally rather die than admit he was wrong, seemingly trapped in an endless time loop with jimmy......and then you have jimmy, jimmy who chuck thought would never change, jimmy who walt declared was Always Like This, jimmy who mike saw right through and was deeply unimpressed by, and it's jimmy who gets out of the time loop, it's jimmy who is able to be honest about his regrets, it's jimmy who gets off the bad choice road. in the same way that nacho was the man that mike and gus and hector could never be, jimmy was the man that mike and chuck and walt could never even imagine. the man who built a time machine......
