So, since they are actually called "Version 2", what the hell does that mean? Maybe they are just what-if versions of the first games, with all kinds of bizarre shit happening.

They're not "Pokémon (color): Version 2", they're "Pokémon (color) Version" 2. Big difference there.

In any case, the Japanese names don't have "Version" added on to the end of them like the English releases, the names are just "Black 2" and "White 2".

So why are people assuming this is the end of the Strength link? From watching the episode, it seemed a lot more like they were focusing on Ai's story (which they barely cut anything from) and incorporated Kou a bit more than he was in the game, then decided to go ahead and start (not necessarily finish) the Strength link so the writers have more potential Personas for Kanji's dungeon. Rakshasa would be a good Persona to have against Shadow Kanji.

I don't think that this is the last we'll hear of Kou, as they didn't even touch the adoption subplot that was such a big part of his story, although I admit there is a (small) chance that the writers just decided to present a highly abbreviated version of Kou's link. The problem is, we don't KNOW that this is all of Kou's story, so it's a bit silly to rage about it.

ITT: we pretend that the name of a sport affects how much one enjoys it, and that the English didn't invent the word "soccer"

On topic, I don't really have a favorite necessarily, but I follow Fulham and Aston Villa for various reasons.

My name is Tim; I am from Texas, in a town near Houston.
I've been with the Bomb ever since it was a podcast about Capt. Crunch milkshakes.
I'm a lifelong Nintendo fan, though I don't think Microsoft and Sony are evil incarnate like many others of my ilk.
I'm a fan of most sports, soccer, rugby, American football, Australian rules football, basketball, baseball, hockey, motorsports, pretty much anything except cricket.
I watch a lot of television; my favorite shows are Doctor Who, Top Gear, House, and Mythbusters.
 
And, uh, that's about it.

Help with #2 please?
