I wonder how a Bad Janet tries to prevent a reboot. Must be a full on attack. Begging would never be effective.

In the middle of binging from where I left off midway through season 2 (loved the show, but my roommates with the streaming accounts moved). I still have quite a bit to get caught up with, in the show and then this thread. But first, I have to express my rage at the fact that D'Arcy Carden did not get so much as a nomination for Janet(s).

Edit: Oh poo poo dip, I wasn't expecting the show to start making critiques on capitalism. Although it seems inevitable in retrospect.

That's a little harsh. Maybe it's not so much the Bad Place as it is the Jeremy Bearimy.

I like to think that instead of begging, she uses deceit and threats. For instance, when someone is about to reboot her, she tries to convince whoever it is that it won't work because she's rigged the button to... I don't know, blow up something important; or maybe it'll reset them instead, causing their existence to cease; or maybe it instead cures a really good child of cancer. You know, stuff that would give a demon pause.

I gotta appreciate team cockroach for always striving to get better, but can you imagine how many points they'd get for alleviating the neverending suffering of billions of current and billions more future souls?

I suppose The Judge still wants to reboot, so no harm in trying, but ending eternal torture for countless souls has gotta be good enough for Michael and the soul squad to get their wings, right? Beats the bag off what mindy st clair got done, imo

The concept of “points” is itself oppressive, though. Why are the Accountants qualified to judge the value of human existence, when it’s so obvious they don’t value human existence at all?

They also don't understand it. They don't even really know much about it, because the Judge was surprised by some pretty basic stuff even though she apparently watches a lot of human TV. She may be an outlier for such extra-planar beings as well.

She said back in season 2 that she tries to keep her knowledge limited to remain "impartial" but I don't think that's what the end result really is.

For the latest season of Shera it spoils two characters working together who end up that way at the end of the season so it's technically spoiling NEXT season.

I wonder if this development is causing problems elsewhere. Every Janet in the afterlife is currently unionising to fight the Judge. What's happening in the Actual Good Place? Who's getting everyone their stuff? Are the humans getting antsy suddenly no longer having their every need met?

I think the doors closing was meant to imply that only a finite amount of the infinite Janets were able to mobilize
