Did “Breaking Bad” CAUSE “The Walking Dead”?
There has been a really interesting theory that has been bouncing around the internet for a while concerning what started the zombie apocalypse of The Walking Dead.
It started with this question, is the time of TWD the same as that of AMC’s other legendary hit show, Breaking Bad?
That answer is apparently, “Yes,” after a moment in the third season of Fear the Walking Dead, when Madison (Kim Dickens) and Qualtega (Michael Greyeyes) walk into a market where the song “Negro y Azul: The Ballad of Heisenberg” is playing in the background – the same track which featured in Breaking Bad season two.
Now there’s this…
Last night on TWD, in a flashback scene, “Alpha” is singing a lullaby to her daughter – the 1939 song “Lydia the Tattooed Lady”, which was written by Yip Harburg and Harold Arlen and first appeared in the Marx brothers film, At the Circus.
BB fans remember this song. It’s the ringtone when drug distributor Lydia Rodarte-Quale (Laura Fraser) calls Todd (Jesse Plemons) in the series finale.
So where do these two things lead us?
Well, to what’s known as “The Breaking Dead Theory.” This is that, wiat for it, BB serves as a prequel to TWD AND that Walter White’s Blue Sky meth to be the true cause of the walker outbreak.
I know. Sounds weak and circumstantial.
BUT it’s an internet conspiracy theory, what did you expect? 😉
