tuagbo: "Breaking bad" received a typical boring "Holllywood end."The show should have ended after "Hank" arrested "Walt".Everything thing else after that was nothing but unnecessary prolonged drama.Good show but a poor end."The journey to the destination was more enjoyable than the destination itself."It's indiscernible how many people will have gotten away with their crimes if it ended then. All the loose ends were tied up and everybody got what they deserved. I don't wanna call you joyless but it will take a lot to appease you! |
WOW!!!!! What a finale.... Walter White is a frickin' legend. |
Found some breaking bad trivia to prepare us for the finale, I'll post the interesting ones: Walt's car is a well-used 2003 Pontiac Aztek, repainted a pale non-factory dull-green chosen by series creator Vince Gilligan perhaps to mimic a faded original paint job and thus symbolize Walt's previous bland existence. The windshield has been broken and replaced several times due to catastrophes both great and small, all traceable to Walt's descent into the drug world. Though Pontiac's Aztek was widely derided as ugly, overpriced and beset with quality issues (it never met sales quotas), it has built a loyal following for its versatility and is considered something of a good used-car deal - a deliberate analogy maybe to Walt's survival skills in his dangerous second career. The show's production keeps at least 2 Azteks equipped for different filming situations. The actor who portrays Walter Jr. in the series (RJ Mitte), actually has cerebral palsy like his character on the show. However, his real life affliction is much milder than his character's, and he had to learn to walk with crutches and slow down his speech to play the part. Characters and their values are represented by the colors they wear. Skyler is usually dressed in blue and Jesse in yellow and red (when he is in recovery, he wears gray). Walter wears green because he is stuck between his family and the drug trade. When the Whites' daughter is born, pink is introduced to the spectrum. Similar color patterns show up during the series. The DEA agents, Hank and Gomez, wear orange, representing police. Marie is usually in purple and many of the other doctors on the show are seen in it as well. And Jane, the recovering heroin addict, wears black. The title of the series is spelled using the chemical symbols for bromine ("Br" , and barium ("Ba" . Chemical symbols from the periodic table of the elements also appear in every name in the opening credits: a single capital letter, or letter-pair with only the first letter capitalized (in line with scientific convention), shown in a differing color.When characters on the show are smoking meth, they are actually smoking sugar or rock candy but do not inhale. Walter White's alias, Heisenberg, is a tribute to Werner Heisenberg, who formulated the uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle with any great degree of accuracy or certainty. In the beginning of each episode, the chemical formula C10H15N along with the number 149.24 and the word "Meth" can be seen just before the title Breaking Bad appears. C10H15N is the formula for methamphetamine, which has the molecular weight of 149.24. Lead actor Bryan Cranston stated in an interview that the term "breaking bad" is a southern colloquialism and it means when someone who has taken a turn off the path of the straight and narrow, when they've gone wrong. And that could be for that day or for a lifetime. During filming, the introduction of Wendy the prostitute was briefly interrupted when a non-actor attempted to pick up actress Julia Minesci, mistaking her for a prostitute. Samuel L. Jackson showed up unannounced during filming on the Pollos Hermanos set one day, dressed in his Nick Fury outfit from "The Avengers". Both productions of Breaking Bad and The Avengers were happening on the same studio lot, and Jackson wanted to be an extra during the scene being filmed. The producers denied his request to appear as Nick Fury on the show. A main plot point of Breaking Bad concerns the main character, Walt, being a bona fide chemistry genius. Marius Stan, who plays Walt's impressively-eyebrowed boss at the carwash Bogdan, in real life is an actual chemistry genius. He has a PhD in Chemistry, and still works in that field. Breaking Bad was his first foray into acting. The pseudonym for 'Bob Odendkirk''s character Saul Goodman is derived from "it's all good, man." Vince Gilligan revealed that AMC allowed only one use of the term 'Bleep' per season. Gilligan took this opportunity and used it with effect at all times. |

That’s right BBM fans — the iconic mobile social network will begin rolling out for Android and iPhone customers around the world from September 21. Soon, you’ll be able to easily connect with friends on different platforms. As you may know BBM was previously exclusive to BlackBerry smartphones, and it will be available as a free download in Google Play and the App Store. While some of you are no strangers to BBM, many will be new and might be asking: What is BBM? Below, you’ll find all the highlights for BBM for Android and iPhone. BBM for Android and iPhone features: BBM Chat – Enjoy real, immediate conversations with friends on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones. Not only does BBM let you know that your message has been delivered and read, it also shows you that your friend is responding to the message. More than chat – With BBM you can share files on your phone such as photos and voice notes, all in an instant. Keep your group in the loop – Multi-person chats are a great way to invite contacts to chat together. BBM Groups lets you invite up to 30 friends to chat together, and go a step further than multi-chat by sharing photos and schedules. And, with Broadcast Message, you can send a message out to all your BBM contacts at once. Post Updates and stay in the know – BBM lets you post a personal message, profile picture and your current status, and lets your contacts know instantly in Updates. Your unique PIN – Every BBM user has a unique PIN that maintains your privacy, so you don’t have to give out your phone number or email address to a new or casual contact. BBM gives you a private social network for active, real conversations and it has more than 60 million customers on BlackBerry alone. The overwhelming majority use BBM an average of 90 minutes per day. BBM customers collectively send and receive more than 10 billion messages each day, nearly twice as many messages per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps. Messages on BBM are typically read within seconds, reflecting how truly engaged BBM customers are. It’s immediate. BBM is always on so you are always connected. And because messages on BBM are typically delivered and read within seconds, it’s the closest thing to a live conversation. You trust it. BBM always tells you that messages are delivered and read. BBM conversations come alive on a private network you can count on. You control it. BBM allows you to choose your contacts and how you share your information. BBM uses a PIN so you don’t have to give anyone your phone number or email address. In a recent press release, Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry said: “BBM is a very engaging messaging service that is simple to use, easy to personalize and has an immediacy that is necessary for mobile communications. With more than a billion Android, iOS, and BlackBerry smartphones in the market, and no dominant mobile instant messaging platform, this is absolutely the right time to bring BBM to Android and iPhone customers.” Availability BBM will be available as a free download for Android smartphones running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Android 4.x) beginning at 7AM EDT on September 21. BBM for iPhones running iOS 6 and iOS 7 will become available for each market on the App Store schedule of 12:01 AM local time on September 22. For more information, or to download BBM for Android or iPhone, visit www.BBM.com. BBM will continue to evolve quickly. Later this year, BBM Channels will provide a forum for active, real conversations between you and the people, brands, celebrities, artists, service providers, communities and more, that matter to you. By creating a Channel, individuals and brands can engage their friends and communities in conversations sparked by their thoughts, ideas and passions. Subscribing to a Channel will let you join conversations with people who share your interests. In addition, BBM Video calling and BBM Voice calling are planned for availability for Android and iPhone in a future version. Excited about getting BBM on your Android or iPhone? Let us know in the comments and spread the word to your friends. http://blogs.blackberry.com/2013/09/bbm-for-android-iphone/ |

The 3 months thing is a fucking lie, it will be available to android and iOS users. BBM for both android and iOS will be released on the same day, apple take a minimum of 2 weeks to approve apps submitted to the App Store, google play on the other hand takes hours. Blackberry submitted BBM for iOS to apple over 2 weeks ago but it has not been approved yet, we are just a few days from BBM going cross platform. The BBM they are pushing is the exact one on the BB10 OS not the common man one on OS7 |

It takes them about 6 weeks to acknowledge receiving applications, how long it takes for them to complete processing I am not sure. Just be rest assured and hold tight, as long they have confirmed receiving your application, you will get your 2NL. |
dixon4u: House my CN is 4*** and I'm yet to receive my 2NL.When did send your forms to KCC? It takes about 6-8 weeks for the processing. |

Walt could be your uncle or that kindly man at your school library, you won't be able to tell he is the devil. Be careful, you don't wanna get sent to Belize now, do you? |
chromatic: Gustavo is cool..I was mad they killed him off but to move the story on, I let it sink because afterall he's not Heisenberg!I read about the spinoff yesterday, Saul has been quite mariginalized in season 5 so it would be great to have a huge dose of him again. I can't wait to see how Hanks shootout with the white supremacist go. |

lucenzo: that lawyer na die.. he knows people.Gustavo scares me, I don't like that dude one bit. |
tuagbo: All of a sudden,"Jesse Pinkman" has become a "hated" character because he is trying to stop the drug dealing,murderous "Walter White"?Every single cent "Mr White" and "Jesse" have made,is really "blood money"(don't you see how many lives their product has destroyed?Meth is poison that gets you high quick and also kills you quick)In a show with many characters who fail to do the "right thing","Jesse" is the show's moral compass.My favourite characters are; "Gustavo "mr impeccable" Fring","Tuco,""Mike" and "The Salamanca twins" Yes,"Breaking Bad" is a good show but it isn't as good as "The Sopranos" "Boardwalk Empire" and "The Wire."Walt was built up as a pitiful character from the beginning, he was an underachiever, a chemistry genius who was teaching at an high school. He became a like able villain with time. Jesse is weak but I admire the fact he cares for kids. I don't think he should go Scott free, he has to pay what he owes and so should everybody else. |
khanivorous: Jesse pinkman is a COWARD, biPOLAR...walter should have sent him to BELIZE long agoJesse became a turn coat at the end, so shameful. And how good is Saul Goodman? I want a lawyer like that |
ITbomb: What is it all aboutWhen chemistry teacher, Walter White, is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given only two years to live, he decides he has nothing to lose. He lives with his wife and teenage son, who has cerebral palsy, in New Mexico. Determined to ensure that his family will have a secure future, White embarks on a career of drugs and crime. He proves to be remarkably proficient in this new world as he begins manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with one of his former students. The series tracks the impacts of a fatal diagnosis on a regular hard working man and explores how a fatal diagnosis affects his morality and transforms him into a major player of the drug trade. *copied from IMDB |
