The New Key Art Should Not Surprise Us

Hey guys,

When I saw the new key art for season 4, I was obviously hyped up for the new season, but then I realized that we shouldn't be so surprised by this "facade" that Jimmy puts on. I made a post over a year ago (that can be found at the bottom of this post), but basically it details what I think is the most powerful scene in this show. It's when Jimmy picks up a phone call at the end of Season 1 Episode 7. At the close of this episode, Jimmy is defeated and sitting on the floor of a new office space he was considering leasing with Kim. He just finished releasing a bunch of anger and gets a phone call. He takes a moment, picks it up and says "Law offices of James M. McGill Esq., how may I direct your call?" in a cheerful tone and the episode ends.

The reason I am so impressed by this show and the writing staff is that we were fed this clue so early on in the show. When I saw it, I immediately thought that this would be a defining characteristic that Jimmy possesses--an ability to "Switch" on a persona, despite how he truly feels.
