A brothers McGill morning-after-karaoke conversation?
A nice, relaxing romance for Nacho?
A Kim-Jimmy-Gus-Mike poker showdown?

The cast members share their wish list.
Degradations of the soul.
Maybe because there just wasn’t time.

Maybe because the story didn’t need to venture into that space.
Maybe because it would’ve been too absurd.
“But in hindsight, I think it’s perfect because he never gets that release.

And that’s what makes him so wholehearted, that’s why his iconography is so strong.
Oh, and there was one other scene that would have been truly light, if rather on-the-nose.
(you’re free to probably guess it.)

“That really kind of silly joke.
“What was breakfast like in the morning, you know?”
McKean posits with a laugh.
‘You call this coffee?'”
McKean wonders what a heart-to-heart morning-after bonding session would have done for their doomed relationship.
“There is something about those two guys you see them as brothers again.”
Plus, it might have led to another karaoke night on which they conquered “Dancing Queen.”
(Or maybe even a deeper cut:“He is Your Brother.")
(See: his dead body on the ground at Lalo’s feet.)
Still, the actor would have liked to have rolled the dice with a different guy.
“I wanted to have a scene with Gus Fring,” Fabian ssays.
“I wanted to run into him somewhere.
Because I think we kind of are.
He’s just in a different business.
So that’s what I was always hoping.”
Well, at least they got some quality time together in the superlab.
“Who was Mike in love with?
“Banks mused at EW’s 2018Breaking Badreunion.
“Because you don’t touch Mike.
“My biggest thing was and it really disappointed me was my son had a mother.
And I would’ve loved to have seen that character come in.”
And how would it play out?
“I think I’d get a racket in my head within two minutes,” he says.
It just killed me.
He was simmering whenever he was talking to Saul.”
“I have no idea, man,” he demurs.
“I’m just an actor.
I read my lines.”
Come on, there has to besomething.
“I don’t know, one with Walter White would be great!”
A meeting between the man who was killed by Gus and the man who killed Gus?
Not sure if their timelines quite line up, but to paraphrase Lalo, “Nice!”
It involves a workout.
“I’d love to see Gus in the gym lifting weights.
That would be such a weird thing!”
Was she just kidding when she pitched it to everyone?
Would it be utterly fascinating if they actually did it?
“Jimmy would be out immediately.
He can’t cover up anything.
I don’t think either of them have any tells.”
