Just wait until you decide you want a Salazzle (only evolves from 12.5% encounter rate female Saladit). They know Dragon Rage, which chunks 40 damage of your health - even your strongest pokemon at the time will be dead in 2 hits at most. Someone in development knew exactly what you'd be doing and exactly how to troll…

No HMs for me is an unqualified good. No need to pack an HM slave on every 6-poke team. I love riding around on Taurus/Stoutland/Lapras, etc. The only downside is the ridiculous green ranger outfit you wear while riding, that even carries into battle.

I soft reset until I got Modest/Mischievous. They sure lengthen the "get your 1st pokemon cutscene" every generation huh?

Me and "Bowie" the male Popplio are ready to throw a middle finger to your gender-normative Pokémon stereotypes. Let's do it Moon

The conflation of past/present, the fallibility of memory, and one's past governing their fate is starting to become a pretty persistent theme. So in that regard, the narrative is shifting away from a conventional "let's follow these characters and see what they do" formula - and sadly the time-wankery is a much…

Terrible, if she's not a Renegade Infiltrator

Just wait until you read the Dolores = Wyatt theory. Her flashbacks about gunning down those people at the church? Teddy's flashback of Wyatt's massacre at the same church?

Also, that player piano rendition of Back to Black was perfect.

So MiB: "30 years of marriage", and has been "coming to the park for 30 years." On top of that, we have the not-so-subtle line callback to "this place has a way of revealing your true self." Finally, the host William encounters who welcomes him to the park is the same one the MiB assumed they "would have retired".

God damn it. That's all I've got: God damn it.

I confess I've not heard of it as an acting technique. They've leaked into the pop culture sphere as a sexy indicator of when someone's lying. That is the only co-opting I've heard of.

I think you're just looking for the word "expressions", "microexpressions" are subconscious, and almost always involuntary, flickers of concealment.

DENTAL PLAN

It can be two things

I read this as "wench in the works" and was still quite pleased.

"You Belong With Me" - Taylor Swift

Certain hosts are flying under the radar with regards to their degrees of sentience, so to me it would not be unreasonable that Bernard, as the most convincing and influential of the hosts, is exploring to that degree. Of course, now I've been prompted by the Arnold/dual-timelines theory and - being a few drinks in -…

I would like to add that Felix is also a fucking dumbass; in fact, "fucking dumbass" awards all around.

My first thought was: doesn't that basement look like the room where Bernard has interviewed Dolores several times? I believe we might have a Russian nesting doll of unprovoked agency in our hosts; Bernard in a subconscious effort to understand himself, has been interviewing Dolores under the radar.
