    Do you mean the dead people?

    Yeah.

    That was the house he and Arya stopped at in S4, where he robbed the guy and his daughter and justified it by telling Arya that they weren't going to survive the winter anyway. A clip of that was in the "previously on" prior to the episode.

     

    I totally wasn't paying attention and was annoyed they even had a previously on segment playing in the first place lol.

  2. You are right but she didn't say anything about that before the suiced. She tried to protect him by not letting him go to the trial. That is why I thought it's the suicide that she meant was the betrayal. And that's just sick.

    Oh. You know, you could be right.

    I hadn't thought of that.

     

    I guess the betrayal might be leaving her after everything.

  3.  

    Kings Landing: Cersei has totally lost it. It was horrible when she said that Tommen had betrayed her. Ugh! 

    Wait, didn't he though?

    The High Sparrow made her do that walk of shame (not to mention what he did to his wife) and Tommen didn't lift a finger.

    In fact he turned around and basically joined the person who did that to his mother, rewarding him with more power and authority.

    Furthermore he was going to stand aside as she was "judged" and likely executed.

     

    Not saying Cersei doesn't deserve all that and more but I can absolutely see how that seems like betrayal from her point of view.

  4. Surprised that no one mentioned that GRRM gave Westworld permission to have a Westeros world if they wanted it. I don’t think they are going to go in that direction, but thought it might be a fun way of bringing back Ned Stark, Robb Stark and other characters that have been offed in the prior 6 season.

    That's cruel, they'd just find a way to kill him again.

     

    By the way: Can we lose the spoiler tags now? Everyone here seems to have seen the movie/tv show and wants to talk about it anyways. If anyone comes here to read the thread there’s nothing to ready anyways because everything is wrapped in spoiler tags. It just makes reading everything cumbersome.

    I dunno, I would guess it's safe to lose them now. I think this forum could use some kind of consistent rule like spoiler tags must be used for the first month and episode/movie airs and then it's open season or something.

    Did Dr. Ford know that he was going to die? Was this the plan the whole time?

     

    What will the second season tackle? How the hosts are recieved in the post-modern world? That would be cool, but a bit of a rehash of the "vampires amoung us" theme of True Blood (ie, how does human society react when we learn that we aren't alone).

     

     

     

     

     

    I think his whole thing was to make the robots hate humans so much that they could never identify with them or have sympathy for them once they realized what was going on.

     

    I suspect we're not going to see the "real world" much if at all in this show and probably not for 3 or 4 seasons anyway.

     

     

    I could have done without

    Dolores turning out to be Wyatt. We had Bernard really be Arnold, William really be the Man in Black, do we really need another "X was really Y all along" twist? One is a good surprise, two is still interesting, three is beating the trope into the ground.

     

    I'm ok with this as long as it doesn't continue. The whole season was about

    flashbacks and timelines and all that so now that we're all caught up that sort of thing shouldn't continue.

     

  6. Yeah I remember walking to TRU and farming Shaymin with my friends since we had an extra game we just kept resetting lol.

    I did get Victini I think that or the shiny dog giveaway (Entei, etc) were the last events I got.

    They're all just sitting on my Black version since I can't trade to X or Sun.

     

    Which sucks because I've been bringing my Pokemon forward since Emerald and LeafGreen could go to DP/HGSS.

    Really bitter towards Nintendo for extorting me to transfer my Pokemon when it's always been free before. 

    I refuse to pay.

  7. Damn that stupid Seal. I liked the Wingull pokemon that turns into the Pelican. So at least I didnt need 2 water pokemon.

    I like Wingull but Peliper has a fat mouth. I prefer Ducklett and Swanna. Same type (water/flying) but much better looking. They aren't in Sun/Moon though unfortunately.

     

    Well I have a powersave so I can make literally anything. I try not to abuse it

    Oh I see, that's pretty cool. I have some cloned and hacked stuff on my Black version. I don't mind that kind of stuff as long as I know what I'm getting you know?

     

    Actually I also have what is probably now somewhat rare event pokemon from Diamond/Pearl era. I have Shaymin, Regigigas, and Arceus as well as a few other things iirc.

  8. I have been playing on and off when I have time since it came out (through 1st 2 islands).

     

    Have not played since original red game. But, this has been fun.

     

    I picked the terrible seal though and just benched it after its 1st evolution. I could not look at it anymore.

    Best decision you could have made imo.

     

     

    By the way, Powersaves updates next month, and so does Pokebank. So when that happens I'll be able to transfer my mythical and legendary pokemon from Omega and clone them, so if anyone missed the 20th anniversary distributions just PM me! Actually, if you have any Gen 6 games I can clone right now and trade with you via GTS. Just ask! 

    What do you have?

     

    Also the event for Mageara is live. 

    You just have to scan the QR code with your 3DS.

     

    http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/nows-your-chance-for-magearna/

     

    You can only get it if you've beat the game but the code is good for forever so no rush.

  9.  

    If you want any specific pokemon on your team I can breed you an egg and trade it to you. Let me know.

     

    Also who'd you choose as your starter?

    Fire starter, cause I like cats and theres no way im picking a circus clown.

     

    Lol I chose Litten too. I would have chosen the Owl but I didn't like it's final evolution and yeah you hit the nail on the head with that seal thing.

  10. Ok so I've beat the games main storyline. My take is that it's the best set of games since Diamond & Pearl.

    I played Black and X (didn't play Black 2) and both were...kind of meh for me. Not really sure what it was but I just kind of rushed through those games and after beating them never picked them up again. I think this one is different and I highly recommend it.

     

    I don't want to spoil the story for those who want to be surprised so beware of opening this spoiler

     

     

    I just want to say that the final battle you have for the Champion title with the Professor was one of the most exhilarating battles I've had in the entire series. The Island Challenge stuff was a cake walk and the Elite 4 were push overs but the Professor and I went pokemon for pokemon and I ended the battle with a Pulverizing Pancake Z Move from my Snorlax. I can't remember the last time the game really sucked me in and made me feel part of the story and not just like someone playing a 20 year old game franchise but seriously that battle was great. Definitely turn the volume up for that one.

     

     

    Anyway if anyone has any questions about the game or if you want to battle or trade let me know.

    I got Sun by the way.

  11. Nol, have you seen the original movie from the '70s? Cindy and I watched it last week and thought it was good. I'd never seen it before, although she had.

     

     

    One story aspect that has been left out of the show was that the amusement park has other settings besides the Old West. I'm wondering if the show intends to work them in someday.

     

    I was aware of it but I have not watched it so I could be totally surprised and come into the show with no expectations.

    It's been awhile since I've been able to do that so I'm enjoying the experience.

  12. How is there not a thread for Westworld here yet?

    With Game of Thrones wrapping up in a few seasons this is slated to be HBO's next big thing.

     

    If you haven't seen it yet the basic premise is sometime in the near future people built a huge "Western" theme park and filled it with lifelike robots.

    So you can experience gun slinging, treasure hunting, whoring, saloon poker games and knife fights, etc, etc. If you can pay the price ($40,000/d).

    Anthony Hopkins stars as the CEO and creator of the technology that made the robots possible and is playing his usual amazing Machiavellian bad guy.

     

    Since we're on episode 7 and no one is talking about it yet I'm going to declare this a spoiler free thread so if you want to talk spoilers please use the spoiler tags until the season is over, then it's free game.

     

    Here's a trailer for the first season:

     

  13. So, I wasn't even excited for this game.

    Mostly because I don't have a 3DS but also...I am legitimately bored with the Pokemon story.

    As much as I love the franchise I can only beat 8 gym leaders and an elite 4 so many times.

     

    That said...they hooked me.

    How?

     

    FREAKING ICE VULPIX

     

    Not specifically Vulpix, although it's cool I guess, but just the prospect of certain pokemon being retyped as some kind of local variation has me intrigued. I don't even really know why since rom hackers have been doing this sort of thing for years but just thinking about the possibilities has me really excited to check this game out.

     

    Anyone else looking forward to this?
