With this show's ability to turn even mundane things into gold, I kind of want an episode explaining how Michael managed to do everything he did on Earth.

The doorman explained that he's powerless on Earth, and only has the abilities available to any normal human. He still managed to travel all over the world, pay for travel arrangements for Jason, get costumes and props, and a bunch of other background things to make this all work. He did all of that despite presumably being dropped into one place with just the clothes on his back.

What I'm saying is, nevermind Chidi, I want Michael to be my life coach.

Seems to me he still gets to be his brilliant all-knowing self and simply predicts exactly what the humans need as a push in the right direction.

Which makes the “didn’t see any other posters, eh?” gag about Jason my very favorite. Jason Mendoza: too dumb to manipulate properly.

The double joke is that The Edge actually does have a second number that Bono doesn't have. That was a deep cut.

Listened to the podcast just now and I really want to hear that supercut of "Shut up, Glen."

I really liked that they played the rom-com moment with Simone, Chidi, and Elanor. That was a really sweet scene.

imo Chidi and Eleanor work way better as best buds and there is zero romantic chemistry between the actors.

She would tell people she calls him Dwayne, but she would absolutely keep his name in her contacts as "The Rock". There is a reason she ended up in the Bad Place.

I really hope they don't lean into the love triangle stuff with Chidi - Eleanor and Simone were adorable together in the MRI both, and it's really nice just to see people being friends without any baggage

100% more invested in Chidi and Simone than I was Eleanor and Chidi after one episode lol, they just go so well together. I hope it doesn't go love triangle-y and they go another route if/when Eleanor and Chidi hook up again.

But now she's free to bed Tahani clearly !!!

Though with Chidi's indecision issues a love triangle is kind of perfect for him tbh.

She has a similar ridiculous story on Nicole Byer's podcast Why Won't You Date Me? about a date who showed up at her home coked out and bleeding all over her place. Jamil is basically living some sort of rom com parody life.

You may be right. I was just assuming the quasi-omniscience fell into the "powers" category that he doesn't have on Earth. He'd still have crazy amounts of knowledge about the four humans personally, because he's been observing and interacting with them daily for decades, but no magic knowledge of anything else whole he's there.

Either way though, you're right about Jason. Michael may or may not have quasi-omniscient magical knowledge about Jason, and definitely does have decades of personal observation of his behavior, plus millennia of general experience as a demon, yet Jason still proves too dumb and/or random to be manipulated reliably.

I think Jason is going to be the key to foiling whatever plan the Bad Place is trying to throw at them. No plan, mundane or diabolical, can survive Jason Mendoza being a part of it.
