One week remains until the fabled date episode. A preview is to be had today.
It's been nearly 18 years since this show began, and yet this is the first time something like this has ever happened. It amazes me, really. (thanks to taeuknam [sp?] for letting me know about this episode through his signature) Never could I have thought they'd have an episode like this. The writers have put themselves in a heavy, deep hole as mentioned in our first thread. It's do or die for Amourshipping now.
I am extremely pessimistic about the fate of our pairing. There are people who are so dogmatic about Ash losing the Kalos league and Serena getting booted after without getting Ash. I honestly can't blame them, seeing how the show's been like for years. If that is the case, then that's the last straw for me when it comes to this broken show. I expect the worst, and hope for the best.
To those who have arrived recently, I welcome you. May you fellows enjoy this thread.
I would like some requests from this thread:
1) Can you tell me what happened in the last 100 pages of the last thread? I couldn't read it all thanks to the rapid pace it went through on December. (was getting to 1000 pages by the end of 2014 really necessary?) I managed to reach page 930 but didn't want to go through anymore as it just takes too long to catch up. I would like to know if anything important was said at that time.
2) May we bring up some highlights of the last thread and place them in the initial thread post? I think this would be nice for newcomers so that they wouldn't have to read throughout that gigantic thread. We already have a portion for fanart, fanfiction, etc., so I think we can also put some good quotes from the last thread, this thread, and elsewhere.
I'd like to place a Beatles song, one that fits Serena's feelings for Ash:

And I think this song's a good message to Ash. Picture Gary, Tierno, Trevor or a hypothetical Drew 2.0 singing this to him:

Let's hope the second song doesn't happen in the show! Next week will be one heck of a ride.
