Phenotype posted:She was the young girl that wandered into town with her brother with a story about how they were looking for their dad, and they ended up working for the brothel/saloons. They turned out to be grifters and got caught stealing, and Cy Tolliver beat them half to death and shot them the rest of the way. like I said, gruesome death.

I think this is the first episode of the show that I haven’t really found funny, it was good but it felt a little like a rehash.

Who had an extremely odd day when he came to visit the set and Ted Danson was very excited to meet him.

double nine posted:like I said, gruesome death. Yeah that was an awful death. Her head was caved in, one eye going off to the side, still trying to fight her way out. Plus they were both young kids who didn't realize the full extent of their actions. I just couldn't stop picturing Eleanor the second Bell's character turned mean though.

My recollection is that her character was basically a sociopath, while her brother was more collateral damage. Also, wasn't it Kim Dickens character who shot them because she couldn't take more of Tolliver's beating them? Bell was also a guest star on an early season episode of The Shield. IIRC she didn't fare too well there either, although I think she survived. Norwegian Rudo fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Nov 9, 2018 |

I wouldn't say sociopath, she had a mean streak but she wasn't violent or anything, she was just a low-caliber con man. Cute, young-looking girl with a sad story and big puppy-dog eyes. They didn't focus much on her brother, but it felt like the two of them were just grifters who just wandered into Deadwood to hustle some money out of people and eventually steal a bunch of poo poo and run. And yeah, young kids who thought that, if their beginner's hustle worked on the idiots in their old town, Tolliver and Swearengen wouldn't see right through it.

21 Muns posted:Huh, that didn't really take me out of the episode, but your reaction here is very similar to my reaction to the monster taxi a couple of weeks ago; kind of ruined that episode for me (which is a shame because I otherwise liked the Jason plot) and did some serious damage to my engagement with the season as a whole. I really liked this episode, but I see what you mean about that gag; I think it's part of a larger problem where staying on Earth is making the writers antsy to keep the wacky fantastical over-the-top comedy going, but it's really clashing with the distinction between the real world and the non-real-world that the series stayed in for most of the first two seasons. I think the first symptom of this was the Americana-themed restaurant; it was really funny, but it was also written exactly the same way that the fake Good Place's gag businesses were written in seasons one and two - actually probably a fair bit sillier. At the time, I laughed off the bit with the "real" gun and assumed it was just Chidi being naive and jumpy, but in retrospect, given some of the jokes that have happened since then, I think it was just meant to be taken at face value. But also, this takes place in the Parks and Rec universe, which got pretty wacky in its last season.

At this point, I wouldn't be shocked if the 99th precinct gets phasers this season. (Holt would insist on calling them the boring real world name the eggheads give them. Rosa would pretend like she isn't down with them right until someone blows a hole in a wall. And Jake and Amy would probably jointly be stoked because I feel like Star Trek would be a thing they'd be into as a couple)

I like to imagine that Eleanor was a huge jerk to NdGT without knowing who he was, and then slammed him really hard when he got offended and explained why he is an ~important figure in science~. She probably wouldn’t recognize him.

I looked up Sepinwall's Deadwood Rewind to see if he had any pertinent thoughts about her character, but he didn't really. In the comments Jim Beaver says that the arc was supposed to be significantly longer, but rumour was one of the kids (or more likely their agent) tried to strong-arm the production for more money so they met a swift and brutal end...

So am I just totally blanking in Eleanor having a sibling or is that something they haven’t mentioned? Trying to think why else Eleanor and her mom would be in the maternity ward unless Eleanor has a kid somewhere out there (which I normally wouldn’t entertain that idea but you never know with this show).

NdgT could have been a twitter thing. Anyway this episode was good compared to other shows but kind of weak compared to the others. Mostly I just don't care that much about the romances between Chidi-Elanor or Tahani-Jason. The cancer patient look gag was really weird and then they skipped right past it and did nothing with the concept of reliving memories being painful. I liked how Vicki experienced no time passing while she was cocooned.

- a memory widget? this is potentially crazy - lol i knew there was a sight gag coming but it's good - "you did die young and unaccomplished" - man pick-a-pet day seems like a genius demon idea - okay, what about the mirror centaur? oh lol tahani asked - is that a hippo in the background during the half-second shot - "you're going to show me how thoughtful and caring i am or i will rip off your demon head and shove it up whatever's where your butt should be" - i like eleanor's iguana - "and love is stronger than anything you can throw at us" "no it's not" - "it's the only book they have in the sex ed section" - "this is all just determinism" "what?" i love this show - lol at both 444 and 445 - 'mom once made mac n cheese with wine instead of milk', enemies: neil degrasse tyson (note: one-sided, from his side, page 4815 of 162432, ambien hamster mishap, problematic halloween costumes - "well he's very authoritative and i find that reassuring" - "is sam the eagle here?" "no" snap  it's their acting that makes it- oh hey we're going to meet doug forcett! also "go through that makeshift portal, see if you explode" this is gonna own good episode

Harrow posted:I think we're just supposed to accept that their version of Earth is a very wacky one. I mean, go back and listen to all of the things Jason says about Jacksonville in seasons 1 and 2. He says some outlandish poo poo that we're never really led to believe is incorrect. Most of what we're seeing this season is totally in line with Jason attending Lynyrd Skynyrd High School, a school that consists of a bunch of tugboats lashed together in a junkyard and where most of the classes are just selling dirty magazines door-to-door. nothing about any of this is inconsistent with our Jacksonville though

Half of it seems empty or like another city was tacked on to it. Main cities in Florida all seem to follow the same pattern as Beach ---> Waterfront ----> Ghettos ----> Suburbs just like other port cities. Jacksonville becoming this white trash stereotype full of idiots is great though. It's not just the Good Place doing it either since Ash vs the Evil Dead was obsessed with glorious Jacksonville too.
