I never thought I'd see the day where Telltale could make a penultimate episode that I'd enjoy. Some bugs, and cheeseyness though. Still a good episode and way better than A Nest of Vipers
Nisha is canonly killed in the second arc by all 6 Vault Hunters (They must have misheard the "Come alone" bit). Curiously, Jack seems to care about her, but is very indifferent about her death, which displeased me to no end. HELLO, YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS ACTUALLY POLITE TO ME, AND SHE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND THAT YOU FLIRTED WITH, WHAT HAPPENED?
And I think it's more obvious that he chose to repress the memory, pretend it never happened or Nakayama simply left it out due to sympathy or, more likely, laziness.
Yeah, the Nisha thing completely confused me as well - it really made it seem like he was aware she was dead, and as you say time-line-wise … morethe Lynchwood missions become available not long before Where Angels Fear to Tread. I guess it could technically be a grave/memorial but the "checking up on her" really makes it seem like she's alive (and also is kind of a knife in the heart, because even in AI form his daughter's just a second thought unless he actually needs her for something).
I also wondered if it was an out and out lie? Getting Rhys in that chair was completely premeditated, he's obviously been planning it from the second he re-awoke inside Rhys' brain (things start getting real messy and conspiracy-theory inducing when you start to think about the fact that the chair had a device specifically for someone with an ECHOport like Rhys).

So, I decided to do a second playthrough (shut up, I have no life), and the game completely froze up just as we hit Henderson. I couldn't even force quit, so I had to restart, and when I came back my save file had completely deleted. Fortunately it was just my alternate, 'choose-Fiona' one, and the others remained unscathed - but still, WHY MUST THE UNIVERSE PUNISH THE GOOD? I contacted support, but I don't like my chances - and I play my douchebag and silent playthroughs on iOS, so I have to wait until Friday until I can play again.
I guess it's my own fault for getting greedy and wanting to play twice when half the fandom haven't even had a chance to play the first five minutes. BUT STILL, I WANT TO SEE SCARY JACK!
No, I don't think it would be a lie, if Jack is capable of loving anyone it was Angel and in heart of hearts believes he was protecting her. It might be that he doesn't have all memories stored or chose some to remove in the process, never really believing that he would need it. How would Dr. N know to put the memory of Angel in the AI?

Also, I'm completely convinced that the whole idea for Rhysquez came from the live play with Troy and Laura where Troy kept impersonating Patrick and was surprisngly good at it.

alright then, this episode hit me like the last episode of season 5 from GoT. scooter is gone, yvette betrayed me, so now she's on my "kill-those-assholes"-list, sasha maybe sold out fiona (which I actually don't think, I guess she was just forced to do so by yvette for some reason. well, I hope it's like this for sashas well-being. I would hate to kill her), and, greatest thing ever, I freaking rule Hyperion! too bad that the episode ended shortly after this so I couldn't get some killing done (the battle in the hub of heroism does not count. felt like I was playing borderlands fsk 6. still awesome thou), but HELL, the last episode is gonna be awesome! We're gonna scorch the freaking planet on fire! There's gonna be screaming, bandits are gonna die left and right...I can't wait!
I always thought Jack's "hunh" at the end spoke volumes - like he was genuinely surprised he was capable of feeling anything/that her death actually affected him. I think he cared about her more than he ever realised while she was alive.
That's not to say that she didn't deserve a million times better!
And it was obviously not as dramatic as his reaction to Angel, but that still felt more like he was playing the part of the hero more than anything else - I mean, he basically has to step over her corpse to entrap a certain someone and there's nothing - he doesn't even glance down.
As for Nakayama forgetting I don't think it's likely - well, actually it's totally likely - but Tales has (paradoxically) set the AI up to be a technological wonder, so you've just got to accept it's the one thing Nakayama did right. I mean, it's Jack, through and through - and it knows the weirdest crap - stuff that Nakayama could have never known. I think it's literally a direct copy of Jack. But I quite like the idea of him leaving it out of sympathy (though Jack just being delusional and pretending it never happened is equally likely).

Yes, it's possible that everything's just part of Jack's Grand Plan. He is really manipulative, of course, can't never forget that. He is so nice to Rhys. I questioned myself many times during episodes, especially during episode four (is Jack really that bad after all? What a good guy). But you can't let him fool you, just have to think about everything that happened in Borderlands 2 and not feel too sorry for him. After all, no matter how "close" people are to Jack, he doesn't care about anyone (to mention Nisha or Wilhem, it was part of his plan that Wilhem gets killed, I guess he was just an expendable soldier among others). I really do think that he cared about Angel though, in some really twisted way that doesn't justify anything he has done. Of course Rhys isn't able to resist Jack's charisma, at least mine isn't.

Seriously.......brother freaks me out. So I play nice. And awkwardly high five him at every opportunity. ;
One thing I didn't understand about the ending of episode 4 was whether or not Sasha betrayed Fiona or not? It seemed to me like she'd been arrested sometime after walking off with the tour guide lady, and possibly got the Fiona's location interrogated out of her by Yvette/Hyperion Goons.
.............I just had this horrifying image of Dameon Clarke casually stepping into the game, kicking the crap out of his character, and then peeling his face off.......................blech/
I don't know why everyone immediately thinks she betrayed Fiona, I just thought she was found to be not Hyperion at all and therefore taken with them. The second option would be that it's only a con, if she did "betray" her I guess. Of course it seems that betrayal is a quite big theme in this season (Yvette, Felix, Vaughn, now possibly Sasha after all that how nice and comfortable it is to be "working" for Hyperion, even Rhys himself if you choose that way), so it is possible that everyone is really just betraying everyone. Wow.

Oh-my-god, I'm not sure who would be more horrifying to work for - the Handsome Jack Space Station, or the David Brent Space Station. The poor, poor employees.
Slowly starving on Pandora seems to be the more relaxing third option.
It could be that they apprehended her at first, but then Sasha probably gave the team out either because she was threatened with a Jack style death (outta the airlock) or maybe she struck a deal. Or it is all a con, although that's more a delusion than anything.

I understand,you like killing important characters for the sake of drama,and it works,but killing off one of the MOST ICONIC CHARACTERS IN THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE?
WHY?
WHY WAS THIS NECESSARY?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO CATCH OUR RIDES NOW?
No,I refuse to believe it.
He'll be alright. He got his hand off at the last second and got to Helios,for sure...
Or... I dunno,Fiona was telling the story,maybe she... exaggerated?
What made me think that Sasha had betrayed Fiona was that when they made eye-contact, Sasha immediately looked off to the side, almost ashamed. Fiona looked pretty horrified to see her. I wouldn't have thought the last scene would have been paced in such a way if they weren't leading up to a big shocking reveal, ie. suspense pacing, Gortys having a one-sided conversation with someone she recognises (Gortys is being told be quiet), and a slow-pan with a shocked Fiona. I would have though if Sasha had been captured, she would have immediately said so. Example: "They got me, Fi, I'm sorry." (Considering the last bit of dialogue we heard from Sasha prior to that was her admiring the tour guide's office, it made me assume she was enjoying her time on Helios.)
I still love Sash to bits either way, but it makes her even more compelling if she loathes what Felix did to her and Fiona, but in her desperation to leave Pandora once and for all, she betrays Fiona as well. Give me all the angst, Telltale!

But...uh.....yeah. Handsome Jack? Scary mofo. But you can run away from him (or fight him, if you're not a Vault Hunter and want to die......). Handsome Helios? HE'S ALL AROUND YOU. US. WE'RE INSIDE OF HIM. "queue Jack making inappropriate jokes all the way through E5, and then feeling awkward about it and zapping Rhys by overloading electrical sockets".
And you get the FUCK out of....uh.....him......as soon as mostly humanly possible. Go somewhere nice. And not orbited by a megalomaniacal, murderous space station. Maybe one of the Eden's? I hear one or two of them might be.....not....terrible? Show me that hustle, Rhys!

If you told me at the beginning of the episode that we would have gone from Jack being inside Rhys, to Jack being inside Rhys who was being Vasquez, to Rhys now inside Jack... er...
The thought of trying to get away from a sentient, murderous space station is quality nightmare fuel! (2001: A Jack Odyssey?) AH-HA! So that's why the Stranger wants the Gortys project, he wants to get the hell outta Jack-dodge.
"bows, with a little bit of a flourish"
I do try.

Can't believe all you bastards chose to rule hyperion. Jack's reaction when you go against him though is kinda scary...
"KINDA" ? Its frickin scary ... ;_;
I adore those missions, frustrating as the area is sometimes, because she's actually respectful to you. She makes a few jabs at times, but on the whole, yo simply find out you've impressed her rather than pissing hero off, and it's a really, really, really lovely change from the utter douchenozzle she is in TPS.

I'm going with "Repressed Memory."
What happens if you chose to rule Hyperion? Is he less...forceful, than the alternative?

I still love Sash to bits either way, but it makes her even more compelling if she loathes what Felix did to her and Fiona, but in her desperation to leave Pandora once and for all, she betrays Fiona as well. Give me all the angst, Telltale!
He got lucky ... REAL lucky
"bows, with a little bit of a flourish"
I do try.
But...uh.....yeah. Handsome Jack? Scary mofo. But you can run away from him (or fight him, if you're not a Vault Hunter and want to die......). Handsome Helios? HE'S ALL AROUND YOU. US. WE'RE INSIDE OF HIM. "queue Jack making inappropriate jokes all the way through E5, and then feeling awkward about it and zapping Rhys by overloading electrical sockets".
And you get the FUCK out of....uh.....him......as soon as mostly humanly possible. Go somewhere nice. And not orbited by a megalomaniacal, murderous space station. Maybe one of the Eden's? I hear one or two of them might be.....not....terrible? Show me that hustle, Rhys!
Can someone explain me what was the thing with the pony? Why was he bleeding?! It's from original series or it's just some telltale's idea?
If you told me at the beginning of the episode that we would have gone from Jack being inside Rhys, to Jack being inside Rhys who was being Vasquez, to Rhys now inside Jack... er...
The thought of trying to get away from a sentient, murderous space station is quality nightmare fuel! (2001: A Jack Odyssey?) AH-HA! So that's why the Stranger wants the Gortys project, he wants to get the hell outta Jack-dodge.
