Was watching the walking dead marathon today and found a connection between walking dead and breaking bad.didja wrote:Awesome artwork! Less than 9 days to go...
Daryl as digging through merle's stash, said: “Why’d you wait ‘til now to say anything? Got my brother’s stash. Crystal…X, don’t need that…got some kickass painkillers..doxycycline. Not the generic stuff neither. That’s first class. Merle got the clap on occasion." & just happened to notice the color of the crystals in the bottom of the bag. Googled it & turned out it was a cross reference to breaking bad. Also read that the walking dead effects team worked on the breaking bad episode "Face Off", and that breaking bad has a lot of connections back to the X-Files.

Well if you saw "Face Off", you kinda sorta did already if only briefly,didja wrote:Now to watch for a zombie in the background of Breaking Bad.

Thanks, I thought it was pretty cool, and never knew about all the xfiles connections.asdf wrote:whoa, nice catch! Easter eggs are so awesome
Here is a bit of what I happened across:
Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, joined The X-Files as a writer in 1995, ultimately writing or co-writing thirty episodes of that series. He also served as producer and executive producer on The X-Files. Before working together on Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan had already cast Bryan Cranston against his usual type in "Drive," an episode of The X-Files that Gilligan wrote in which Cranston played a white supremacist with an infection that made his head explode if his car's speed dipped below 50 miles per hour. Gilligan said the character had to be simultaneously loathsome and sympathetic, and that "Bryan alone was the only actor who could do that, who could pull off that trick. And it is a trick. I have no idea how he does it." AMC network executives were initially hesitant about the casting choice, knowing of Cranston only from his role Hal on the comedy series Malcolm in the Middle, but they were persuaded after Gilligan screened the X-Files episode for them.
Ten actors cast on the show have previously appeared in the Vince Gilligan produced The X-Files. Bryan Cranston in "Drive" (Season 6), Aaron Paul in "Lord of the Flies" (Season 9), Dean Norris in "F. Emasculata" (Season 2), Michael Shamus Wiles in "The End" (Season 5) and "En Ami" (Season 7), Raymond Cruz in "El Mundo Gira" (Season 4), Javier Grajeda in "Tithonus" (Season 6), Danny Trejo in "Redrum" (Season 8), Dale Dickey in "Existence" (Season 8), Dan Desmond in "Salvage" (Season 8), and John Koyama who served as a stuntman on the X-Files.
The brand of the cigarette thrown from the motor home is "Morley". Morley was the fictional brand of cigarette preferred by that series' character C.G.B. Spender, AKA The Cigarette-Smoking Man.
When Walt is showing to Jesse the chemistry supplies he stole from the school, he mentions that he's got an "Erlenmeyer flask". This is an inside-joke reference to The X-Files (which featured an episode titled "The X Files" (1993) {The Erlenmeyer Flask (#1.23)}).

Just realized that the red car (Dodge Challenger?) from episode two of Walking Dead and Walter JR's first car are the same.

Cool. I like easter eggs like that. Btw, the actor who played "Cancer Man" in X-files did not smoke in real life. The Morley cigarettes were specially made - they did not contain nicotine.TexasFlood wrote:The brand of the cigarette thrown from the motor home is "Morley".

Didn't know that. Since my last post I found out that the actors who smoke meth on breaking bad are smoking sugar and that the blue crystals are cotton candy flavored rock candy.Findecanor wrote:Cool.

AND, I found out that Morley cigarettes date back to a 1961 episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show and have been used in quite a number of shows & movies since.
