jassie: I've known about the Bermuda triangle mystery right from secondary school.

Take it or leave it, science is overhyped. Science couldn't even locate the missing Malaysian aircraft, talk less of bermuda triangle. All they said was some big big talk . . . bobo juice tongue
Science assisted in the creation of the technologies that were used to locate the site of the planes' crash in the ocean.The ocean is very deep that's why the plane hasn't been removed yet and science will also "save" all of us from the Ebola virus ravaging West Africa at the moment.This is kiddies' stuff really

Clashydutch: Yet they say there is no God....
Ofcourse there is no "God."Have you ever seen this "God" you always speak about before?I know you'll say,you only need faith to believe in "Gods'" existence but what is faith apart from belief in an "entity" without evidence?That is exactly where science trumps over/wins/supercedes all religions

Funniez: Bermuda triangle is also called "the devils triangle", I tink this point is self explained

Philtrik: I am A Science Student. I Believe that there is God and I believe He Exist.

Charles Darwins was an atheist/agnostic
(Atheists say God does not exist) | (agnostics say they don't know one way or the other) .
He didn't believe that God exist.
He Gave his own evolution of the earth how the earth formed without God.

RayMcBlue: Then TV.com that scored GOT 9/I0 overall also got it wrong, no? How about Rotten Tomatoes that gave it 96% ratings based on 48 reviews? Or Metacritic that gave it 79% ratings based on 28 reviews? Surely this top critics web pages can't be all wrong, or can they?


You kept referencing the books. I've read the books but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the television version. If anything, the books gave me a unique perspective (made me a good critic) but didn't deride me from enjoying the show and all the quotes it kept churning out. And even so, sometimes, they are really not all that alike in terms of story lines, which is what makes the TV show dynamic and unpredictable even if you had read the books. Big ups to the showrunner.


Okay, you're now practically talking out of your âss.grin


The wire is a top show, no doubt. All the characters are pretty interesting:

Omar: the drug dealers nightmare, McNulty: the antihero Baltimore cop, Marlo, Stringer Bell, the greek, Chris, Clay Davis: Mr Sh-eeeeeeet, Lester, Snoop... so many of 'em!

...but,

^^ saying that it's better than Breaking Bad is tantamount to saying that Green Apple is better than Red Apple. Absurd. They are both good in their own way, and there is really no basis for comparisons here. While the Wire is surrealistic, Breaking bad is fantastic. Both draws you in and get you so much invested that you feel like you know the characters intimately (not in a séxual manner, mind you).

Bottom line, Breaking bad appealed to a lot more audience than The Wire ever did, because where as the Wire is vulgar and contained MA materials, Breaking Bad really don't have any age restrictions and have a more natural feel to it than the Wire ever did.


I'm in my early to mid 20's and yes, I'm getting married.tongue I'm enthusiastic by nature, I guess, and it rubs off on people around me.

I loved the Tudors, most especially the 1st season. A Showtime production, I think...
"The Wire" is the greatest original series ever produced for tv.It never received a best series Emmy nomination much less a win but it deserved that trophy,an oscar,a national book award and a freaking Nobel peace prize to boot"-Peter Traver,Film critic. What I really love about "the wire" is its deliberate unresoved plots.It was cryptic and refused to spoon-feed viewers(which is exactly what the so-called "greatest show" "Breaking Bad" did with its cartooney conclusion)"The wires" take on urban decay and institutional corruption was simply groundbreaking.Don't get me wrong,"Breaking bad" is a good show but too many people have carassed it to the point of excess.In terms of writing,plot development and overall message,it doesn't come close to "the wire" and never will.Like "Lost" and many other shows before it,"Breaking bad" and "Game of thrones" are destined to be placed in the "meh" and "its alright" categories.Yes,many have said "the wire" is "difficult" to understand because of its heavy use of slangs and similar characters but they always fail to realize things constantly happened on the show...important things unlike "Game of thrones" which is a show where people are walking to some place for a whole season.Ofcourse "GOT" is a highly-rated and popular show but no one should believe the hype,even "Duck Dynasty" has millions of viewers.As for the lack of Emmy nominations for "the wire,"many have criticised the Emmy nomination process as outdated and in need of revamping.Smart shows that challenge conventional thoughts about society,usually "hurts" the brains of the committee members.The process goes through some minor changes yearly but not enough to effect any real changes.The whole ordeal is subjective.The best shows aren't always going to make the cut because the people who provide input on the process are submitting their own opinions.It doesn't mean the Emmys' are totally flawed in recognising talent and hardwork but you just can't deny the fact that it is just a popularity contest.Shows like "the wire" don't need awards to know that they are good."A great work doesn't need crowns."As "Stringer Bell" would say,"nuff said."

RayMcblue02: A show surely can't be overrated if it's within the top 5 best TV shows on the planet in the IMDb, right? You can call GOT overrated all you want, but facts doesn't lie...
IMDb may be a credible source for tv shows information but they got this one wrong.The "Game of thrones" tv series really isn't that good.Afterall,its best season has been season one where they referenced a lot of scenes and dialogue from the book.So,my suggestion to the true fans of "Game of thrones" is to read the books if you really want to get the storys' context and authenticity."Game of thrones" tv series scope and depth doesn't even come close to a masterpiece like "Boardwalk Empire"(eventhough season four was its poorest season).Comparing "Breaking Bad" to "The Wire" is an insult to "The Wire".Even Vince Gilligan(the creator of "Breaking Bad) has admitted he used elements from "The Wire" in "Breaking Bad"."The Wire" is head and shoulders ahead of every other tv show made but do you know what?It never even won a single "Emmy"(that shows you how knowledgeable the "Emmy" committee is about tv shows).By the way,"my fiancee?"I always thought you were in your late teens or early twenties because of your enthusiasm.What do you think about the show,"The Tudors?"Good stuff too
TV/MoviesRe: 66th Emmy Primetime Awards (2014): The Official Thread. by tuagbo: 1:07pm On Aug 26, 2014
[quote author=RayMcblue02]I don't share of the opinion that GOT is overrated. The HBO fantasy drama merely had a poor season is all, every TV show suffers from this now and then. Hopefully, the cogs will start working again next season, and GOT may regain some of it's lost shine.

I have heard of Twin Peaks, but I haven't had the pleasure of watching it just yet. I really don't like old shows, to be honest. [/quote)Suit yourself at not watching old shows.What makes the "Game of thrones" tv series tick?Its story?Its scope?The story and scope of the books are 200 times better than the series.I don't blame many for calling the programme over-rated.Frankly,I do too.Have you read any of the books?Since "Ned Stark" got executed,the show went downhill from there.Too much addition of contents to the series that weren't even in the books
TV/MoviesRe: 66th Emmy Primetime Awards (2014): The Official Thread. by tuagbo: 12:15pm On Aug 26, 2014
RayMcblue02: Lolz grin

They were completely outclassed by the competition. All in all, this edition was the poorest performance ever recorded by HBO in the last decade.
I'm always amused by the obsession of many people with the "Game of thrones" series.The programme was clearly at its best in its first season.Since then,the shows' quality has depreciated.If you truly want to get the full scope of the story and its characters,read the books(they are available in every format).Even the sex stuff(the real reason I believe many people still watch the show) is twenty times more in the books. @"Raymcblue" have you ever heard of the show "Twin Peaks?."Its an old,slow-paced,mystery show but really good
TV/MoviesRe: Who Is Your Favorite Bond (007) Actor? by tuagbo:
Sean Connery is my best.A combination of suave and ruggedness.I still don't know why Daniel Craig is so popular as "Bond".He is just too wooden and sullen and the only good bond movie he has featured in has been "Casino Royale."The rest have been less than average "action?" "drama?" movies
TV/MoviesRe: 66th Emmy Primetime Awards (2014): The Official Thread. by tuagbo: 10:33am On Aug 26, 2014
GuyFawkes: That was the most chilling episode of Breaking Bad if I remember,that was when Agents Schrader and Gomez got killed.
I disagree.The most chilling episode of "Breaking Bad" is "Boxcutter,"Season 4 episode 1 especially the scene "Gus Fring" walked from the door of the laboratory,down the steps and towards "Walter" and "Jesse"."Walter" started defending his actions,"Gus" said nothing then walked towards the lab coat and started putting it on.We all expected their imminent death.Now that's CHILLING!!!

chromatic: to be honest, the emmys is a joke..the nominations are predictable and boring. Some shows are there deservedly but some aren't. The good wife should be there for best drama and not downtown abbey( I stopped that one after the third season as I believe it's gone downhill). The good wife was so old last season it would compete with breaking bad and true detective. yeah it was that good last season. The particular episode that was submitted for emmy nom " hit the fan" is as good as Breaking bad " ozymandias" episode( this was actually the best episode of breaking bad that year in my opinion: others were good too).
I love true detective and all but breaking bad shiits on it.
I agree with your criticisms of the Emmy awards.Personally,I'm not even a fan of any award ceremony.I've watched one or two episodes of "The Good Wife" but lost interest,never been interested in "Downton Abbey" and let's be realistic here,the second part of "Breaking Bad" (episodes 9 to 16) were the worst of the series.So,NO!!! "Breaking Bad" season 5 isn't as good as "True Detective"."True Detective" is without doubt,the best show of 2014 from acting,directing,script,locations etc.Its head and shoulders above the rest

musKeeto: Lmfao.


Let me get this right. Would you live forever if you could?


I think it's you who's seriously depressed or brainwashed. Death will come, it is inevitable. Why waste a lifetime bothering about death? It will come whether you like it or not. You'll die someday. Better get used to it.



I do not agree. This is the result of growing up in a society that sees death as evil, rather than a natural occurrence in nature. That's why you have churches fleecing members of hard-earned cash so they'd be granted divine protection from untimely death. It's totally unhealthy to waste and expend so much energy 'chasing' death.

And please, do not confuse danger with death.

CrimeRe: Top 10 Deadliest Gangs In The World. by tuagbo: 10:52am On Aug 17, 2014
Teflony: 4) MS-13 : Without doubt, MS-13 is the most
ruthless and deadliest gang in the
world. They were started in California.
Today they have more than 70.000
members. Mara Salvatrucha makes
all of these other gangs seem like
foolish people selling drugs. Mara
Salvatrucha known for drug
smuggling, black market gun sales,
theft, contract killing, human
trafficking, and assault, especially on
law enforcement. They don’t care
about any kind of victims even kids
and women.
MS-13 still maintain links to their country of origin El-salvador which is a haven for violent gangs.They are also into narco-trafficking and are infamous for hacking down their victims with machetes.Most South American,Central American and Caribbean countries are havens for gangs.This is usually caused by social inequalities and an unsustainably large growth in population.I believe Nigeria and a few African states are now encountering thesame issues that enabled these gangs to gain strangleholds in many societies

berem: I am talking of TV stations and your talking of FRCN and Raypower. I don't watch NTA so I can't say for that.
Many people in Nigeria listen to radio stations and they have been broadcasting adverts on AIT,Channels,NTA and Silverbird too.Instead of thanking me for the information I gave on my first post,this your post came across as if my first post was wrong.You are rude
HealthRe: Nigerian Doctor Who Treated Victim Infected With Ebola by tuagbo: 3:24pm On Aug 04, 2014
berem: The most annoying part is there's no awareness campaign about the Ebola Virus on our TV stations. The awareness is only on social media.
How will uneducated Nigerians get to know what's happening? huh
I disagree with this your post.I've been hearing educational adverts about Ebola on The National Service of FRCN,Raypower and even NTA.I've also received many text messages from the Ministry of health.Its not surprising though,our leaders don't want a quick and painful death.They are aware Ebola is no respecter of status

TV/MoviesRe: True Detective Official Fan Thread by tuagbo:
Ray McBlue: The show's chock full of epic quotes, but to be honest Cohle steals the spotlight every single time, what with the pessimistic, twisted and cynicism infused drivels. I can't get enough of 'em, and you know what makes it weirder? My life philosophies kinda fall along similar lines.
I find your last sentence funny because I thought I was the only person who could relate to the "Rust Cohle" character.Undoubtably my best show of 2014 and I just love the haunting opening theme song by "The Handsome Family"-"Far from any road."It perfectly sets the tone of the show.
