I can't believe there wasn't a whole page of "Is Eleanor a goon???" when she used the phrase "something awful." You've changed, TV/IV.

Escobarbarian posted:I feel like the writers think Eleanor/Chidi is a much more interesting pairing than it actually is. I like them together but not enough for the events of this episode to cause me to feel any emotion whatsoever Agreed on the first part. I don't know how the writers will make me care about memory wiped Chidi again, but I know they will, because this show never disappoints. The first season was kind of the weakest. I hated the cliched sitcom plot devices... until the very end when it turned out there was a reason for all of that. A couple of times I almost stopped watching.

I’m not sure that I fully get why Chidi can’t still be on the secret good people team since he didn’t have any problems with the hidden knowledge component when the newcomers were just strangers. Maybe it’s just too complicated to try to fill him in after such a big memory wipe, but based on how fast things move I also imagine it might get addressed pretty quickly next season.

Doltos posted:Chidi dated Simone for like one episode he really over-reacted to the ex thing. Yeah, but it was over like a 6 month period. Hardly insignificant. Also Eleanor and Simone are cute as hell when they're winding Chidi up, so they might actually be able to pull off the inevitable love triangle in a non-awful way.

I care so, so little about the Chidi and Eleanor romance so this finale fell pretty flat for me. It really does feel mostly like setup for next season, which is fine imo if they run with this concept for more than a couple episodes. Love how fast the show burns thru plot but I am getting tired of them changing the premise every other episode. Eleanor and Michael running fake Good Place is too good an idea to speed past!

Had a dream last night where the premise of season 4 is that they had to reboot the experiment but someone else had to run it, leading to Jason having god powers. Hi-jinx ensued. Michael Schur, please hire me.

I genuinely hope and expect that necessity or accident will cause that to occur next season. If it doesn't then the writers will have thrown away a gorgeous plot point.

I don't think the demons can actually interfere with people that are alive on Earth. They could go after the four humans because they're already meant to be dead and property of the Bad Place, but willy nilly killing people is probably a no no that'd have higher powers up swooping in.

It's strange, I enjoyed it when Fringe kept destroying the main characters' relationship through timeline resets and other hijinks, and the one here is probably written better, but Fringe at least had some variety with their methods. I feel like this was the weakest season in general, and when you keep resorting to what is effectively one thing, wiping memories, it's less exciting. Plus the show is a lot more complicated than it used to be. IIRC the first two seasons had specific stakes throughout (to avoid being discovered and tortured forever, basically) whereas this one meandered on Earth for a while, and then introduced much bigger stakes with "the system is broken" that seems like it can't be resolved until the show ends for good.

Of course it has to be Doug Forcett, he’ll assume that his understanding of the point system led him to live a good life and he deserves to be in the Good Place. Having arrived, he’ll refuse to improve himself, slack off and do even worse than before, disproving the hypothesis of the experiment. He’ll probably even tattle on the ethics study group.
