Is it true that breaking bad is the prequel for The Walking Dead?
No.
This rumor started because Daryl’s brother had a stash of blue Breaking Bad style pills hidden in his bike. It was a silly nod to another popular show on the network, not a tie in.
You ever been to Albuquerque? I could almost see it.
Yes. The zombie virus is a mutated form of the H5N1 flu virus from Gus’ chickens that contaminated the meth being made in the laundry factory. The first mutation made it possible to jump species but later mutations resulted in the fully fledged zombie virus. This happened over a period of roughly 5 years in the BB universe.
Once infected, the virus is airborne and spreads quickly with no obvious symptoms until death.
Yes, Tommy Westphall was doing contaminated meth and in the blink of an eye was fighting zombies.
Which means…“earlier” Mike from the “Better Call Saul” era actually infected Gus’ chickens with the flu. So BCS -> BB -> WD !
