That was the closest I've ever come to caring as much about Chidi and Eleanor's relationship as the show does.

I made it out ok. The note was great. E: and then I caught a few minutes of Will and Grace on broadcast TV. What a shock to the system that was. boo_radley fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Nov 22, 2019 |

Jason and Janet's impromptu wedding is always a delight, thanks to the show for bringing it back. Also, "Remind me to tell you about Timothy Chalamet's bar mitzvah."

The plot advancement to greatness ratio of that episode was off the chart. So good. Fun fact, in the scene where Chidi gets handed a beer I was drinking the same Australian beer and did a double take.

I'm doing a master's right now and I have to say his advisor shouting 'shut up' 'shut up' 'shut up!!' and saying that he had a life before Chidi's paper got both a laugh and major feels from me. The clip needs to be uploaded to youtube faster so I can send it to my own advisor.

Taear posted:Banners are different for different people depending on what they think you'll like. Ok, I've ask several real life friends about this. Did you get the spoilery image BEFORE you had seen the spoiler? I've seen other shows show spoilery stuff (Good Place, Umbrella Academy, Bojack Horseman) in their banners but only after I had watched them. I'm curious if Netflix changes it up based on how much you have watched.

What a great episode. I actually had to pause while watching young Chidi convincing his parents not to divorce because it felt so awkward, but I'm glad that they made it so that wasn't all that kept his parents together. Also, Esmeralda was hysterical

boo_radley posted:I made it out ok. The note was great. Funny you mention that. I was just thinking after watching the episode that it was just so eloquent and graceful and how is this the same basic genre as something like The Big Bang Theory which just looks like it was slapped together in an afternoon. Reminded me of one of Dan Harmon's rants during Community where he was kinda just asked himself why they were trying so hard to analyze every story and joke when you can just have the nerd say Bazinga, be home by 4pm and get 20 million viewers. Oasx posted:Confident Chidi is a little scary. For some reason it reminded me of when Neo comes back to life in the hallway and stands up. Even like the little stretching. Also, all the actors are always great, but Chidi and Michael having that conversation before his reboot was next level.

Despite the current TV season going whole hog with the whole 'dead wife' motif, it took last nights episode of The Good Place to loving destroy me so thanks for that NBC. (I mean that in a good way, weirdly.)

I thought this week would be more like the last 10 minutes of the previous episode (crazy plot-heavy wackiness), and I was ready for that. But this was totally different, and I ended up loving it a lot. Seeing the full arc of Chidi and how he has grown was great, and an excellently crafted emotional beat. I wish we had gotten some hints about what is next before the mid-season break, but that would be very non-GoodPlace, so I guess it isn't surprising. Biggest laugh of the episode for me was "I never knew my parents went to counseling" "I know, kids are stupid." Or the red boots.

I thought that was a great episode. I wish that when they were doing the slideshow of his various "soulmates", it included the guy who always had to go to the gym. I just really wanted that callback.

The next time someone asks me for life advice I need to start by thoughtfully saying, "Here's the thing about stuff." It's such a perfectly Jason thing to say.

I love the extra little bit of torture Michael threw in at the very start of Chidi's time in the Bad Place -- "Chidi, come on in...or just stay out here if you're more comfortable" -- before cutting it short to move things along.

Also I know guessing at what the "new system" will be (or even if there will be one) is kinda pointless with how often this show swerves, but the focus on Eleanor and Chidi's relationship really makes me think that it's going to end up being based on love. You don't need to worry about every possible long-term consequence of your actions--if you put more love into the world than hatred during your lifetime, you get into the Good Place. It doesn't even need to be love for humans either, it can be animals, or nature, or whatever you like, as long as it's real love. I can even see a future exchange with the accountant who spent all that time in the obelisk this season. Someone (probably Chidi) starts asking "but how can you possibly quantify love" and the accountant just gives him a look and says, "What? That's easy, we do it all the time up here. We got this."

What a great episode. Chidi's finest writing going from the big, overly complicated thing that drained the will to live from his advisor, to the short one page letter. What a cool symbol of his growth.
