She knows who went to the bad place, as she showed at the beginning and again when she tells Chidi that Aristotle was in the Bad Place because of slavery. She knew everything about Earth and some basics that were relevant to the neighborhood, but she's never been wholly omniscient and was specifically shown in the latest ep as needing to download good place info

Lutha Mahtin posted:All of the major world religions have well-established doctrines about the afterlife not being the same as life on earth. Christians have the idea that we are given "heavenly bodies" which are not the same as our earthly bodies. Some schools of Buddhism have the idea that in nirvana, our consciousness actually ceases to be our own and melds/blends with everything else there. i've always thought of it that heaven would eventually turn into hell for anyone who still had a human, time-limited mindset, and if you became an angel or whatever who was totally jizzing about singing god's praises forever then that's not you anymore so it's not even you in heaven at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZpZuIWu1tw

Deep Space 9 already addressed this in the series finale with non-linear time beings. Jeremy Bearimy is a wormhole alien.

If I understand old testament/dead sea scroll biblical angels correctly, they are the one's doing all the worshipping and poo poo. Humans just kind of get to hang out, be happy, and bask in God's glory, it's the Seraphim who are constantly singing about how cool he is. The angels aren't just messengers, they *are* the infrastructure of heaven. Some of them are sent to earth to tell people important poo poo, others are just the wheels on the chariot that gets them there, and the Seraphim are basically just there to brag about how great He is.

Isn't the only difference between the canon and non-canon stuff is that the orthodoxy didn't think the non-canon stuff was "on brand", or it wasn't known about at the time, so some of it got left out of the final books?

It's tough to keep paradise working when more than one person is involved. For example, what happens when Simone arrives? Creating a near-duplicate Chidi, forcing Simone to not want to be with Chidi, or forcing her and Elanor to be enthusiastically okay with any particular arrangement all don't seem right.

Simone arrives, things get weird for a few Bearimy's but they'll figure it out and be better for it. Things are allowed to be challenging now, it keeps the mind from turning to mush, and if it's too much for someone they can drown their sorrows in stardust milkshakes.

Sub Rosa posted:Surely the religious community that considered them cannonical was Abrahamic I was responding to someone who said that the Dead Sea Scrolls had some kind of bearing on how Christians talk about the afterlife. They... don't. As for your question, answering it properly would require diving into the scholarship around the DSS. Yes, the people who wrote them were some kind of Jewish sect. But this doesn't necessarily say anything about how they viewed their writings. Some of the scrolls and fragments aren't even religious at all, such as the treasure map. If they did consider some of these writings as comparable in canonicity to books in what would eventually become the Hebrew Bible, you would be correct here. But then I feel like we'd also have to talk about how this sect died out like 2000 years ago. Lutha Mahtin fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jan 28, 2020 |

In regards to what to do with eternity, I wonder if anyone in the Good Place has used the "Janet gets you everything you ask for" to essentially create their own universe and their own version of life, essentially becoming gods themselves to Janet created beings. Probably beyond the budget of the show and they would probably get bored with it, same as the monkey go-carts. But it could be used to talk about the absence of any god in this show, they themselves are in a dead human created universe and their creator has had their brain turn to mush and has just wandered off somewhere. But that's probably one twist too far.

I doubt it'd work, because even the show's central Janet (and her bad place analogue who had been reset a lot) had trouble keeping track of one neighborhood of Janet babies, so a regular Good Place Janet would most likely just create more blatantly stupid mush people who are about as entertaining or believable as a dead frog.

My Afterdeath guessing: Many Jeremy Bearamys take place between these events. Jason goes first, getting bored with every small vehicle/animal combination. Tahani's family gets to the Good Place, they bond/make amends and go on together. Chidi becomes satisfied with his version of The Answer and decides to move on. Eleanor give a big crying speech to him that TOTALLY DOES NOT MAKE ME CRY but then Michael gives another speech that helps her feel a little better and I also DO NOT CRY AT THIS! Eleanor and Michael reach a stage where they're ready to go, leaving Janet behind to run the Good Place on her own. Alternatively, Janet reboots every Janet a bajillion times. and moves on with Jason. Thank you for reading my fan fiction.

Simone has been fine every time they break up, she doesn't need Chidi and certainly wouldn't buy into notions about predestination or soulmates or anything. Eleanor and Chidi have been through many lives together, it would be obvious from the outside it's an unusually strong bond and who wants to inherit that baggage even if they could?
