Here’s What Was Cut from the ‘Better Call Saul’ Finale — and What Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn Think a Reboot Might Look Like

variety.com:

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large In the final scene of “Better Call Saul,” Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) is leaving ADX Montrose prison, where she has just visited Jimmy McGil/Saul Goodman/Gene Takovic (Bob Odenkirk) for the first time since he was sentenced to 82 years behind bars.

As he watches her leave from the prison grounds, he makes his signature finger guns, and she looks back with a bit of a melancholy glance.

Originally, as Seehorn shot the scene, Kim returned those finger guns — but it was ultimately cut. “At first I was like sad [that it was removed] because I’m a hopeless romantic,” Seehorn says. “But [exec producer] Peter [Gould] said, ‘we watched it and it looked like Kim was back in the game, rather than Kim is saying I’m there for you forever.’ And I said oh yeah, I don’t want that.

It was the right decision.” Seehorn, Odenkirk, Gould and Giancarlo Esposito — who played Gus Fring on both “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” — gathered one more time in March for an FYC panel related to the final season of “Better Call Saul.” On this week’s episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, we include the audio from that lively panel, as the stars and Gould discuss the reaction to the ending, and what they thing those characters might be up to now.
