[The man seated uneasily in front of the camera probably looks familiar to anyone who knew or knew of Saul Goodman, ex-defense attorney and daytime TV judge extraordinaire. He has the same face, mostly, save for the abundance of hair on his head (which is sticking up just slightly, like he's been exposed to a stiff breeze or, in his case, static electricity) and fewer wrinkles around his eyes than anyone who got close enough to him might remember. And his smile, just like Saul's, is playfully crooked — though it's laced with a nervousness that doesn't really fit the image Saul projected whenever he had an audience. This man isn't as confident as his older lookalike, that much is clear, nor is he as brightly dressed. (A white dress shirt and a bland, striped tie are all that's currently visible.)
But he has that same ol' sparkle in his eye, and he straightens up a bit as soon as he's ready to speak, which is a habit anyone would recognize: that sudden shift from casual to professional Saul made any time he approached the bench or a business meeting.
And as for his voice — that's the same, too.
This is almost definitely Saul Goodman, but:]
Hiya. The name's Jimmy McGill. James, technically, but — I prefer Jimmy.
[He lifts his hands into view. Saul's trademark (fake) Rolex and gold pinky ring are missing, but that's because they're obscured by a pair of heavy-duty electrical gloves.]
I've got a little problem on my hands, pun only halfheartedly intended. [A laugh, one quick huff of air. Saul's laugh: Heh.] Seems the powers that be decided I should have the ability to manipulate power itself. Electricity, I mean. More specifically — [A brief pause, a swallow. He tries to play it off; there's no reason this word should bother him.] Electromagnetism. So, since I have no idea how to control an honest-to-God superpower because they're not really real where I come from, this is... uh, it's an issue. Anyone got any tips? Tricks? Ways to wake up, maybe?
[He smiles again, this time thin-lipped and a little desperate. It looks like he's on the verge of panic.]
Please?

I'm still trying to decide which show is worse.
no subject
Hey, what was wrong with my show?
[It was hosted by Saul Goodman. Jimmy can already guess what was "wrong" with it.]
no subject
[ Amused. ]
Maybe you can consider it a preventative measure. Most of us don't get to go back in the past and change the future.
no subject
Yeah. I guess I'm lucky.
[Sure doesn't sound like he honestly thinks that, though.]
