Is it a coincidence that Stark and Lannister is like York and Lancaster, or did Martin get some inspiration from the wars of the Roses?-- 85.74.96.125 ( talk) 10:30, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
In The Matrix Revolutions, there is a scene were Neo is in the Machine City & confronts the leader of the Machines. But if humans were able to perminantly block out the sun during the first machine war, & the events of the trilogy are set (approx') in 2699 then would there still be enough oxygen in the atmosphere in the "present day" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotius ( talk • contribs) 12:14, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
It is of course fiction, but my personal guess would be, that the air would be still be respirable (although not very healthy). After the Chicxulub meteorite hit the earth, the planet was darkened for many years (scientists are not sure of the exact time it took until the dustcloud disappeared entirely). However, according to most paleontologists and chemistrians, the oxygen levels of that time could still be enough for a human to survive at least for a short period of time. Given that Neo spends a rather short time in the machine city, I would guess that it could be possible for Neo to stay alive temporarily but would finally result (after days) in some serious brain damage and damages in the respiratory tract.-- 178.195.94.230 ( talk) 21:00, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Has it ever been confirmed or denied that Heisenberg's classic coke speech in season 5 episode 7 is a product placement paid for by the Coca-Cola Company?
I have two (flimsy) reasons to suspect that it isn't:
1. The line "Do you really want to live in a world without *insert brand/product here*?" doesn't really work with any other brand or product.
2. The producer confirmed that their usage of Danny restaurants were not a product placement [1]. This isn't a valid reason per se, but it at least shows that it's possible for the show to value artistic merit over financial incentives.
I'm looking for public statements or interviews by either the Breaking Bad production team or Coca-Cola Co. that confirm or deny there being paid product placement in season 5 episode 7 of Breaking Bad. I know this question is a long shot, but the producer, Vince Gilligan, has elaborated on the topic of product placement in the show in multiple interviews and podcasts [2] [3], so hopefully there is something out there.

I'm looking for the name of a sinister movie theme. The first time I heard it was in season 2 of 快乐星球, a Chinese series for kids which most of you probably are not familiar with. The theme is always played when the robot teacher does evil things like trying to get the kids' DNA. The series is somehow based on Star Wars and it could be, but I'm not sure, in a Star Wars prequel where I heard it the second time. It was definitely a movie by westerners, so I assume it wasn't exclusively composed for 快乐星球. The theme is in G minor (I think) and only contains string instruments. The double bass is accompaniment (absolute notation):
The cello plays the melody. I'm not sure how the rhythm goes together, but it's something like this:
The quarter notes should be half note triplets, but I'm having issues with LilyPond. If someone can change that, I would be grateful (the last note is a new measure). This theme develops and more and more instruments enter for dramatics. -- 2.245.115.194 ( talk) 20:42, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm betting it is based on The_Imperial_March, which is Darth Vader's theme (himself a cyborg), and is also in Gm. OldTimeNESter ( talk) 19:31, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
