    For some context if anyone was confused why Team Sam thought they could get away with taking a train straight through the station Adam was at, the Shinkansens run on an entirely separate and disconnected track network from normal local trains. To get to the Shinkansen tracks requires running across the entire length of the station, down a couple more hallways, through a different set of fare gates, and then down to the actual tracks. If Adam hadn't been informed ahead of time that they were on the Shinkansen, there's no chance he'd have made it to their tracks in time when their train pulled in. So while the plan didn't end up working, it's not as absurd as it might sound on face.

    • @AM-we1es
      @AM-we1es 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +545

      Taking the Shinkansen was a reasonable strategy, if you keep one team member on it and another gets off, they're guaranteed to at least get one of them to the flag. Shame they were so adamant to sticking together they didn't consider that.

      honestly wish they played a different game. 90% of what we see is just them inside train stations and trains. I hoped it was something like new zealand where they would show the different areas of Japan. Due to the nature of the game I 100% see that they are only gonna be near shinkansen train lines due to the need to cover a lot of ground quickly. We barely saw what Sendai was. very disappointing tbh.

    Just for a note to anyone watching who is visiting Japan anytime soon. It is generally considered rude to eat on the trains, but if its mostly empty and its a small snack, most people won't care. Just be aware of those around you and clean up any mess.
    Edit: Yes, it's acceptable to eat on Shinkansen and limited express trains. Also, to those saying that eating is perfectly fine in certain situations, read the above comment. Words like "generally" tend to imply something is not a strict rule. It's just a social norm and it is also impractical to eat on crowded commuter trains (this applies to more than just rush hour). Don't assume because you're a foreigner that you MUST act like a tourist who didn't do any research.

Tokyo itself is basically Saffron and Celadon City and the Flag Adam is going for is on Route 29 between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City.

    In the Layover (Nebula podcast) , Sam mentions that he still has no idea how they...[spoiler below]
    got on the wrong train at 7:17 of the episode, as he checked that he was on the right platform at the right time. I have a solid theory on why it happened.
    Basically, the station they were at, Shinagawa, is served by two different rail companies, JR and Keikyu. They were supposed to take the Keikyu Main Line to the flag, which leaves from Keikyu platform 1. Instead, they got on the JR Yamanote Line heading back to Tokyo, which leaves from JR platform 1. There were two platform 1s at the station, and they were at the wrong one.

      They introduced a lot of countermeasures like line codes and station codes unique to each line and station, but apparently nobody in this series bothers to learn about it. As apparent in the comments complaining about the issue I guess none of you knows about it too. Well, now you know!

    Nishio seems like an odd choice for the flag location, I'd have thought it would've been better to place them roughly the same time away by shinkansen. Although it's closer to Tokyo as the crow flies, it'd take roughly an hour longer to get there than to Sendai because of the lack of any really local shinkansen stations.

    Take or leave this feedback from a super fan who loves you all an has seen every episode!
    The most memorable moments of Jet Lag for me are when you are taking the time to experience/do fun things in interesting spots. Fishing in front of Sydney, bungee jumping in Singapore and New Zealand, flying over the Grand Canyon.
    While I enjoy moments of strategy talk/planning and watching the phone trackers and trying to figure out everyone’s moves, I feel like it doesn’t have the same level of charm or interest in the journey.
    I would love to see more talking/experiencing the area, sights, and culture, and less running through a new area to catch a train while watching your phones.
    I know that it takes a TON to plan these out and you can’t always control how it plays out. I’m still enjoying this season, but have missed the sense of adventure.
    That’s my personal take, and most people might disagree and say, “more tracking!” But 🤷. You guys are seriously the best. ❤

    What was stopping Ben and Adam just doing more challenges, when they had the flag? They knew they could get away anytime Sam and Scotty started moving and then hop on a train. They couldve just done challenges like Sam and Scotty?

      They talk about this in the layover podcast, they actually did a little bit. But if they had stayed anywhere for too long Sam and Scotty would have just come out pressure on them forcing them to move or risking being caught.

      ​@@emilymccann5176 this, but also I figured they wouldn't want Sam and Scotty to rack way more coins than needed, and at the end of the day it wouldn't be good for content if they both got tons of coins

      Yeah this. While both teams could easily play challenges all day, they know they're making content as well and there's no sense in dragging it out. Besides, at some point Sam or Scotty could force them on while the other still does challenges and risking capture would be a terrifying swing with their stashes (and I imagine there's also a timeout clause for round 1, just not relevant for the viewer)

      You can see in the montage, they did do some. But taking longer means the other team can also do challenges

      agree. there should have been a time limit for the first game
