The Walking Dead: 10 Amazing Lesser-Known Fan Theories

2. Space Exploration

Space exploration is back in the forefront of media popularity. Everyone wants a glimpse of the Blood Moon, everyone wants pictures of Pluto, everyone wants to land billions of dollars worth of landing craft on a hurtling comet to prove that... Well, to prove that some humans have far too much money and if they're happy to throw money away, they may as well send it to the edge of the Solar System. But now there are theories which suggest that TWD could link back to these current events. Scientists are constantly in search of living materials in space, and where there is life, there is bacteria. And where there is bacteria, there is potential for disease. You can see where this is going. What if a probe returned to Earth incubating a deadly virus? It's a theory that would link to world affairs, but will almost certainly never be applied within the show.
