Wrong! Debunked.

16. Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump.

Wrong! Sloths are mammals, and they can't jump.

illicit:
You could have said mammals because there are other animals that can't jump

Even if he said mammal, he's still wrong, because Sloths are also mammals and they can't jump.

Idiot!
Better keep ur mouth shut and speak for yourself.
Owner has been using d phone in this form since early this year.
Just put d screen/body guard last week.

He's telling you the truth. 50k is too pricey for a Samsung phone with a spoilt screen. Reduce the price by 75% and maybe you'll get an offer.

Hello guys, I am about to get TCL 43" Android SMART TV. Read so many good reviews about the company online. What's your take please.
Anyone used this product before?

Its a fully Android Powered Smart TV with FHD resolution, but there are better options. Go for Hisense Smart 43", it's better.

Am using a TCL LED TV, it's worth it


for a start, it's hundred and sixty eight times better than Infinix tv

If it's just a LED tv, sorry but Infinix SMART TV is better.

Now watching a British/Japanese collabo, Giri/Haji.

4 minutes in , and I'm hooked already.

Defending Jacob.

There are plot holes, but all things considered, it's a very thrilling, albeit slow burning, murder mystery.

7.5/10

• The Wire
• The Sopranos
• Oz
• Six Feet Under
• Boardwalk Empire
• True Blood
• Carnivale
• Generation Kill
• Band of Brothers
• Angels in America
• Deadwood

These are highly rated and award winning TV shows that HBO made pre-Game of Thrones. HBO is the network other networks look up to, and try to emulate. HBO is the gold standards of television programming. They have more money than other networks, which permits them to invest in cinematic-quality production quality in writing, casting, and sets.

Ergo, Game of Thrones has absolutely nothing to do with HBO's shows' unique inclination to draw high ratings from RT, Metacritic and IMDb.

Gbammest!

HBO leads, others follow.

Very useless post

An understatement. That post takes the cake as the most braindead post to have graced this section.

No be everybody you suppose dey give attention for this forum. Person wey you for just jejely ignore. Ntooor!!

Lol. Say no more bro. Local man has learnt his lesson.

CuteMercury:
When it comes to Adventure, the game of thrones has made these critics to believe that, any adventure series that is not on par with the game of thrones is below average which to me is 100% Nonsense.

The reason why Game of thrones gatherd many fans was because of the nude scenes and the dragons.

Before the game of thrones, we never add lots of series with dragons and if you must know.

People tend to Judge Netflix series because they drop all episodes at ones.

If they had gone with the pattern of dropping each episodes per week, you will see that lots of Their series will get high review for example this latest one "Curse"

Like i said before, game of thrones has made all new adventure series to look like shiit which is totally unfair because if you must know, there are seasons of game of thrones that are not even as interesting as the Witcher and cursed.

You cannot compare game of thrones season 1 to the Witcher or cursed.

They beat game of thrones season one hands down.

But why we were all fascinated by the game of thrones was because it was the first of it's kind, so game of thrones came when we had no other option.

But Damm!! I remember a certain shanara chronicle that beats the game of thrones hands down.

But like i said, people will always be blind to the truth.

Take a look at the war scenes in game of thrones and compare it to the war scenes in The last kingdom or even the Vikings and they beat the game of thrones hands down.

Just like how they use Westworld to rate The Brave new world.

But i can tell you that i enjoyed the brave New world than any season of Westworld.

WTF did I just read No offense bro, but this is the most senseless post I have read in this section. SMH.

IGD2:
That is the role the show runners want her to play. she did not tell them that she must be a non binary character. after all on "orange is the new black" she wasn't non binary. Taylor's character is supposed to be a socially awkward savant(she's supposed to be the opposite of axe). so she basically acts the role well. she might be boring but thats her role, if there is anybody you should be mad at, its the show-runners, not the character.

Last time I checked, it's a norm to hate a character in a beloved TV show, as long as you don't make it a personal vendetta against the person portraying the character.

Furthermore, I cannot be mad at the showrunners because they had successfully delegated their accountability to the actors. If a referee gives you an unjustified red card in a match, who are you going to blame, the ref or FIFA?

Megatone50:
I came across this statement in a series am watching...and it really got me
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact, everything we see is a perspective not the truth"

being robotic tends to be behaviour acquired why growing . they(Taylor) deals with fact Nd figure or experience of others.. that how Taylor react...
go and watch big bang theory and find out about a guy called Sheldon cooper and how he behaves..

we have shy/ timid people, we have less exposed people, we have introvert, autistic people as well, nerd or geeks.. each portraying a different character entirely. we must always create room to accept what each have.. I'm not forcing you to accept Taylor character..I'm just saying be open minded to what the world has to offer from different species...

In a volatile show like Billions, a robotic character like Taylor is out of place. Maybe it's the creator's way of creating some kind of balance, but it's just not working for me. She's over doing the robot routine.

budaatum:
It is a technic commonly used in good shows. Good writers will put in characters that riles and irritates and annoys or/and those who'd be loved and cherished because the emotional "why I hate HER", ties one in. It's called 'playing to your passionate strings'. The love or hatred for characters is what glues one to a series.

The rile, irritate and annoy characters in Billions for me are Axe because he's a dickhead, and Chuck because he is corrupt. I want to jump into my telly and rip their evil eyes out but thankfully, my love for my telly deters me.

I get what you're saying, but that's not the issue here. I've had love and hate relationship with every major character in Billions, especially Wendy, but I understand them and often empathize with them. I can relate to most of them on a personal level, especially Axe. I know where he's coming from and why he acts the way he does.

With Taylor, it's different. I cannot figure HER out. SHE'S like a blank page. SHE's very bland as a character, and I hate HER for it.

Megatone50:
now, in as much as Ur opinion is valid, I will.like to point out few things to you that you should consider before airing your decision opinion..
can you picture Taylor character not being a non binary in the show and watch her role in the series and see if there is no point in her part...

firstly... the introduction of a non binary character show there are different kind of sexualities out there that the world in general has not seen and have not known there own behaviour or experience

secondly... Taylor acting robotic has nothing to do with being non binary..some people tend to act that way and be straight forward..

thirdly..
Taylor character shows that..as axe keeps playing his card in the financial sector there is definitely an upcoming youngster that will reach his par or even outsmart him in the game..if not that the series centers between Axe and chucks..( Taylor is bound the be making history)

all your pointing out is how disgusting the non binary community is, same goes how some people frown at LGBTQ society which we keep seeing everyday and getting to know their own world ..

Ideologically, I find it absurd that someone born with a vagina will prefer to be qualified with a "them", "there", and "they" pronouns, but ultimately, HER non binary status has nothing to do with my dislike of HER.

It boils down to her robotic characteristics. If they had made HER character more relatable, and less robotic, I wouldn't have had any issues with Taylor.

directonpc:
Omo oversabi plenty for this forum oo. So before if you sub for example 250mb night plan and you are already using the 251th MB you won't know you are being charged from your main data balance?

I don't understand your logic.

What I meant is this; If you're subscribed to a monthly data plan, then subscribing to night plan with the same sim is very risky because once you've exhausted the 1.25gb, airtel will start deducting your monthly data without your knowledge.

directonpc:
Yes, your normal subscription will not be deducted when you browse from 12am to 5am.

Not true. Once you have exhausted the accumulated data from your night plan, airtel will start deducting data from your normal subscription.

MiVida:
Please can it work if you have an active subscription already?

It will work but it's not advisable to use it with active subscription because once the night plan accumulated data is exhausted, airtel will start zapping data from your normal subscription. It has happened to me in the past.

budaatum:
I'm very delighted to know you aren't trying to impose your "opinion" on me and I have duly noted your opinion while retaining mine.

Any suggestions what to watch next? Must be one that's ended please as I don't wait for "next week episodes".

I'm currently watching Defending Jacob, it's a murder mystery. Captain America is the lead character. It's been immersive so far.

budaatum:
'They' contribute nothing to the show for you, and obviously contributes a lot to the show for me.

See this very intelligent post for an explanation of the difference in our opinions.

I'm not trying to impose my "opinion" on you.

budaatum:
I love all you wrote there.

Now extend it to a personal opinion after watching and you might guess what I am resisting writing in response.

What I wrote does in no way contradict my stance on Taylor. Billions is a top show, and I still like it, but my issue is with a non binary that can't muster up an emotion to save HER life. I can't relate to HER.

In a show full of eccentric and unpredictable people, SHE's like a deer caught in a headlight, she's too sane, and I hate that about HER.

Billions work best when everyone is acting irritationally, that's it's charm, and Taylor sober disposition directly contradicts that. It's why I hate HER.

budaatum:
Who watches a show that is meant to provoke and challenge for normalcy?

Please let me know if I miss she dies.

The show is no longer provocative. It has devolved to just another leftist political agenda.

budaatum:
I don't agree I'm in the minority, but even if I were in the minority, that's ok by me since I like using my very independent mind instead of being in a herd and be told what opinions I should have by others. You'd find lots of similar independent minded people on here which is why some hate what some love.

Twitter was not an election on Taylor, and the fact that 'they' are spoken about a lot shows 'they' are integral to the story and must be contributing to the appeal of the show or they'd have canned it or 'them' by now or its ratings would have slipped significantly, but ratings went north and not south on Taylor's introduction whom I wont be surprised to find is the last person standing in the end.

It's my opinion, Stalin, just as your's is your's.

Bro Taylor is only there to tick a leftist box, nothing more. The makers of the show are merely virtual signalling with a non binary character that brings nothing to the table other than SHE's non binary.

The show has decline in quality since season 4 and it's mainly due to that robot.


SHE contributes nothing to the show.

Defending Jacob is madt. Really enjoying the mystery.

budaatum:
You are hopefully aware that I watched Billions with my own eyes and formed my own opinion with my own mind and thankfully popular opinion on twitter does not dictate what I like or not like.

Good for you!

I was merely trying to tell you others share similar opinions. You're in the minority.

CuteMercury:
Finally through with the cursed and for me, it's 8/10

Nobody expected the ending but i think she is alive though.

It's funny how imb rated the curse at just 5/10 and rotten tomatoes rated it as 72%

And yet rotten tomatoes rated Brave new world at 40% and imb rated the same brave new world at 6.9/10

You see how this people are confused and their opinions don't matter.

This is why i don't take ratings seriously.

Bro you talk like someone that recently started watching TV series. The purpose of online ratings is to help people decide on which shows to watch or not.

Ratings from IMDb reflect audience opinion were RT ratings reflect opinions of professional critics.

Sometimes a series will have low RT rating but high IMDb, it simply means the audience like it even if professional critics don't.

But in the instance a series have both low IMDb and RT ratings and negative reviews from IMDb users, it means the show is garbage and people should steer clear.

The 6.9% IMDb rating on Brave New World shows the general public don't particularly feel strongly about the show but don' hate it either. The 45% RT rating shows the professional critics hate it.

It's now up to an individual to decide how to proceed based on the information they've been provided.

Watch or not to watch, it's up to you. But please don't try to justify your questionable taste by ridiculing a known system that have worked for many people.

budaatum:
You'd hopefully accept that that is your own opinion since Taylor did the opposite for me.

It's not my opinion alone. Fans have been complaining about Taylor since she showed up, and want her gone asap. Go to twitter, no one likes her or them or whatever pronoun non binary are called.
