Running Theory: Breaking Bad’s finale could lead into Need For Speed

Just a funny joke from actor J.P. Manoux:

SPOLER ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO HASN’T SEEN THE BREAKING BAD FINALE YET, I DON’T SPOIL ANYTHING TOO SERIOUS.

But people of the inter-web, let’s be serious: if you actually cared about the Breaking Bad finale, you would have watched it by now. Probably more than once. Maybe even twelve times.

Let me start by explaining what “Running Theory” is. So far, it’s where I make a theory about an imaginary/impractical but creative connection between actors and their different characters in movies and television.

My first “Running Theory” being Aaron Paul in Breaking Bad and the upcoming Need For Speed (trailer here). My theory is that the ending of Breaking Bad could lead into the beginning of Need For Speed.

At the end of Breaking Bad (SPOILER), Aaron Paul’s character (Jesse Pinkman) is released from the SkinHead’s Meth-Lab-Prison by Walter White, and Aaron/Jesse drives furiously away in a crazy fast car, with a crazed look on his face, like he’s gonna start a new life, run away from all these problems, etc.

Now, the plot of Need For Speed:

“Fresh from prison, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate joins a cross country race with revenge in mind. His ex-partner, learning of the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins.”

It seems like there could be a connection between these two stories…

I looked around, and someone mashed the ending of Breaking Bad and the trailer for Need For Speed to connect the timelines:

What do you guys think about this theory? Any thoughts on more connections I could post about? What about the Breaking Bad finale, what’d you think?
