I have only ever encountered a single wild pokemon visiting my campsite which was a Torkoal. I caught it and it's a good little guy. But I'm wondering if there's a set way to encourage other Pokemon to visit?

I don't think Gale should have died instead of Finnick.

In fact I don't think Gale should die at all, it makes it too clean for Katniss. Because all that's left is Peeta so of course she chooses him. I think it matters more that both are available and she still chooses Peeta. Not because Gale unintentionally got Prim killed. Which it was unintentional, I don't think he ever meant for his bomb idea to actually be used. He was being groomed and used by Coin. She saw an angry and troubled boy and groomed him to be her perfect soldier. Used and manipulated him.

I don't hate Gale at all, but I know he wasn't the right match for Katniss. He was too angry, too hardened and too impulsive. Peeta encouraged Katniss to stop and think about things before acting. He comforted her and didn't tell her pretty lies. She chose Peeta because he was hope, a dandelion on a spring day just after the winter thaw.

Gale was gasoline, fuel for her fire.

Peeta was calm and warmth.

Spoiler tag.

I thought BOSAS was rushed, at least they took the time to explain things better than text scroll.

Especially Haymitch, we don't even know why he's on the train because they don't explain that the living victors mentor the tributes. Or why he's drunk all the time. We don't get the backstory with the bread, just shakey flashbacks. With grown ass Jennifer and Josh. They couldn't get children who at least had the same hair color as them to shoot for a day? They don't even explain why Katniss is starving very well.

And look I don't expect to be spoonfed these things, but they could have included the scenes with reading out the previous victors so they had an explanation for Haymitch and why he is drunk all the time.

Or the remaking center! That's not explained at all, and Katniss says that most people are congratulating her, but the only one who congratulates her is Effie. So it's just weird dialogue.

The shakey cam is going to give me a headache.

Again, I don't expect to be spoonfed all the information, but excluding scenes like explaining better who Haymitch is and leaving out Madge and other little details leaves the movie hard to follow if you've never read the books.

Another example is one that Jennifer Lawrence gets criticized the most for but Katniss inability to emote or at least show her emotions. In the book it's explained that she hired her emotions because she doesn't want people to take advantage of her or to realize that things aren't great at home and take her and Prim to the orphanage.

I get that they didn't have a lot of money for the first movie. So I can't blame them for leaving some things out. I just wonder if they did shoot scenes explaining Haymitch and they were cut? Because if you didn't read the books you might think that he's a Capitol Citizen or some bureaucrat assigned to District 12. And then wonder why they get stuck with a drunk who doesn't seem to care at all. In the books you understand that he does care but he is also forced to mentor kids to their deaths.

Also the Career Tributes train in a "special academy" until they're 18? Did they even actually read the book before writing the script? Why are there so many inaccuracies?

Ok, this has been nagging at me for over a decade. There was this show in the US called The Dinosaurs originally on ABC. It was like The Simpsons but it was people in dinosaur costumes and made by Jim Henson's studio.

Anyways spoilers

At the end of the series the father dinosaur accidentally plummets the world into the Ice Age because he builds a fruit orchard or something on the mating grounds of the Bunch Beetle causing the ecosystem to collapse. (And I think there's a bit in there where they try to use bombs or something to punch a hole into the sky and bring back the sun?) Anyways they're all sitting around the TV on the last night and there's a blizzard outside. They all stare out the window and credits roll.

However I swear that I remember an after credits scene where they wake up and it's spring time. And they turn the TV back on and Wheel of Fortune plays.

So what I want to know is am I suffering from a Mandala effect? Or was that actually in the show? I can't seem to find any information on it or anyone else that remembers it.

I'm just gonna rant for a second. I was on August year 2! With a nice $13,000 park value. Three coasters and was just waiting out the scenario when two of the coasters crashed!!!!!! I mean I wanted to throw my screen across the room, it took so much finagling to get everything to fit and it all crashes!

Is it programmed for all the rides to start crashing? I literally had to scrap two of the original rollercoasters because they kept breaking down and crashing!
