However in the grand scheme of things, it was an amazing, well written show that kept us all glued to our recliners and tvs, every week, week after week, season after season, we couldn't wait til the next episode , or the next season , and I'm sure every fan was sad to see it go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-50171205067512249412021-09-23T03:53:05.322-04:002021-09-23T03:53:05.322-04:00Latest mobiles by HAIER<a href="http://www.mobile-phone.pk/haier_l7-9008/" rel="nofollow">Latest mobiles</a> by HAIERjabbar huusainhttp://www.mobile-phone.pk/haier_l7-9008/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-16666676804315379222013-12-03T02:04:47.136-05:002013-12-03T02:04:47.136-05:00I think its great that one of the best shows in HI...I think its great that one of the best shows in HISTORY is significant and important, and almost laughs in the face of how ridiculous and unimportantly asinine smartphones are. In other words WHO CARES the world was here LONG before your stupid smartphone, and it will be here LONG AFTER your stupid smartphones are GONE GONE GONE.<br /><br />You are not your fucking khakis or your fucking smartphone - throw it away!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-23367337793514986782013-10-05T02:33:29.045-04:002013-10-05T02:33:29.045-04:00I don't know. WAY more people had smart phones...I don't know. WAY more people had smart phones in 2008-2009 than are portrayed in the show. Even if a few characters were flip-phone holdouts, we would see SOMEONE with a smartphone. I don't think we ever do. I have often thought maybe the show was set in the late 90s/early 2000s -- but there is no real indication of that. And some clues (an age and d.o.b. of Jesse's girlfriend for example) pinpoint the date at 2009.<br /><br />I think the explanations I've read about flip phones being more useful in terms of acting - more expressive in answering them, slamming them shut, breaking them in half etc. are more convincing. Either that or Vince & co. just have an irrational love for the things, or like playing with our minds.Ben Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497068576848644623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-43966014398040797972012-07-11T23:10:24.321-04:002012-07-11T23:10:24.321-04:00It was 1982 not 1992.

This may be a reflection of having old white guy writers though. However, there has to be someone on staff that is in their 20s that shouldnt be able to resist the urge to scream "nobody talks like that anymore!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-12581856444109427102012-06-09T04:16:23.845-04:002012-06-09T04:16:23.845-04:00An interesting thing I caught in the show, check o...An interesting thing I caught in the show, check out the episode where Walter talks to Jane's dad in the bar. Her dad says that she is 27 and was born in 1992. This places Breaking Bad in the year 2019. I know this post of yours is pretty old, but I was doing a search about the timeline, and was wondering if anyone else caught it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-78169344357527596232012-01-02T04:32:14.158-05:002012-01-02T04:32:14.158-05:00I respectfully disagree, the "period piece&qu...I respectfully disagree, the "period piece" interpretation doesn't stand because the phones they use aren't FROM that period. The richer people ,like Hank, would at least have upper end phones like a Razr. Furthermore smart phones were in the mainstream by 2009. Maybe if it were taking place in 2006 that would be the case but the 3rd generation iphone had already come out and people were well aware and using the technology.blue136https://www.blogger.com/profile/15219573544879711609noreply@blogger.com
