How That ‘Better Call Saul’ Death Was Kept Secret From Bob Odenkirk & Rhea Seehorn | Making A Scene

FYI 99.999% of people die with their mouth open.

~someone who’d know

God, Poor Howard. 😢 I hated that scene so much. But credit to the actors, directors, and crew. I appreciate the insight because I've been thinking about getting into acting myself. I've been feeling so inspired from this show especially with Michael Mando's Nacho Varga telling off the Salamancas. That was so cathartic

This is the only thing that makes me feel better abt that scene it was so depressing I cried and couldn’t sleep the whole night

Howard was a shitty lawyer but an excellent salesman. RIP Howie

Rhea looks younger than me at 50 here than I do at 29. I thought she was 35 MAX. I’m so jealous, I need the skincare routine.

Tomas! Why did you murder the ending? Why 4 wasted episodes?!

I LOVE this cast!!!
Howard is so damn cute, but I am drawn to Bob Odenkirk. He's a doll.
Saul Goodman is the best name ever. " It's all good, man. " Love it!

Howard is played by Howard in real life

Seeing the scene at the beginning of this video still brings tears to my eyes, which is a huge credit to the way Patrick Fabian played Howard. He made you fall in love slowly and before you knew it deeply an excellent character that you really wanted to root for him to get his life around, to climb out from the shadows of Chuck and his father, and to fix his failing marriage, and possibly help Jimmy and Kim find the right path. If there was anyone that could have done it, it was Howard.

I thought Tom Shnauz was going to say he played Pryce. Lol

gooddd theyre all so talentdede

nice to see he is still in the character after years

Although the show tries to make you feel as though Jimmy and Kym are the “good guys,” much like Breaking Bad did with Walt, Howard actually was the victim all along. His death shocked me so much because he was so undeserving of it. And not that Jimmy or Kym deserved to be killed instead, but they did everything they could to try and tear this poor man’s life apart, he confronts them about it and gets shot in the head by a cartel member. Just a tragic character arc all around.

I remember watching this the first time and thinking Kim was gonna be the one getting shot

i adore how much patrick fabian very clearly loves his job

That candle flicker is haunting.

Four incredible actors in their prime.

Rhea Seehorn is 51?!?! Wow! What a beauty!

“Don’t die with your mouth open”

Somewhere out there Tom Savini is ready to scream.

Patrick Fabian looks like a 22 year old surfer dude, and a 60 year old man who likes motorcycles at the same time.

I loved Howard...I mean this guy tried his best to be decent to Jimmy...He tried to be good even if this did not came to him genuinely, but he tried his best. It was such an awesome tragedy to fell victim of Jimmy's bad decisions. Awesome acting and writing. I loved these deeply flawed characters and their struggles.

dude wears blue untill on real life, lost he's out in the character

I really like hearing how directors and actors go into detail about their scenes just to see the process of how it’s done.

Lalo went "kill the spare" and shot howard

That death took me by surprise when I saw it. Just like Rita’s death on dexter.

damn she's hot

Did anyone notice about the "Not war" poster in the room of Hamlin's actor?

Way to spoil it. Thumbnail and title together totally give it away.

Damn she is so hot.

I hate you Variety. You title this and then put Howard's picture in the thumbnail. You ruined this scene for me. What is wrong with you?

It was the most fucked up death in the entire series.

By far the most meaningful and symbolic death in TV history.

What's truly, deeply heartbreaking is that Variety made this video, and put Howard's picture in the thumbnail. This is SUCH a horrible spoiler video, I am beyond pissed off right now.

Gotta love how many times they showed Howard’s head popping in this video lol

Poor old Howard…I don’t see what he really did to deserve the grief he’d got

Howard was a good guy, and he didn't have to die. That ending was terrible, and unnecessary.

they're so surprised because they thought howard was gonna pull out a gun and shoot lalo and the actors never expected lalo to do such a thing because it was so out of character for him, brilliant work

This episode is a visual tip on how to make an unnecessary murder that fits perfectly into the plot. In comparison with bad scenarios, where a good character suddenly burns down an entire city with its inhabitants, here a person absolutely does not deserve to die, but he is simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, it is his mistake, for which he paid with his life and its perfectly logical, well set up and masterfully inacted.

Making history on tv

This f**** thumbnail spoiled the episode one day before I got to watch it.............

I am happy Bob Odenkirk wasn’t too happy with the direction the character was taking in spiting Howard and was waiting for Saul Goodman to pay for it. I liked Saul but sometimes just done things I couldn’t agree with.

Damn this just shows how insanely talented Patrick Fabian is as an actor. They never rehearsed the scene and yet he was able to take a bullet to the head like a champ and then just bounce right up. Amazing. Shows the beauty of the breaking bad series and all of its actors.

One of my favorites!!!! I cried through the whole episode 😢😢😢😢😢

yeah and lalo used a real gun

Howard certainly isn't a character that anyone would really like if he were real, but still I felt incredibly sorry for him in that last season

This episode blew my mind… just like Howard!

This video's thumbnail ruined this surprise for me in BCS

Oh god I just got a minute unskippable ad! Fuck YT!
