10 Crazy Breaking Bad Fan Theories That Completely Change The Show

6. It Was A Prequel To The Walking Dead

The Theory: Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are/were very successful shows for AMC. Along with Mad Men, these shows have made AMC a basic cable powerhouse. One fan theory suggests that two of these shows are related - Breaking Bad is a prequel to the Walking Dead, to the extent that the blue meth is what created the zombie apocalypse. There are some clues that give this theory credibility. Walt's Blue meth can be seen in Merle's stash bag in the second season of Walking dead. Daryl also tells Beth that his brother's old dealer "a janky little white guy" who says "I'm gonna kill you, bitch". And, who can forget the red Dodge Charger that makes an appearance on both programs as well? Was It Possible: Probably not. The links mentioned above are most likely two shows on the same network subtly acknowledging each other. Daryl's comments to Beth are intended to make people think of Jesse Pinkman, but it is very unlikely that Merle would have traveled all the way to the Land of Enchantment, even for good meth. These references are not intended to be important plot points, which would suggest that they are clearly simple easter eggs.
