Plus she was probably an awesome wing-woman at the bars her friends and her used to hit.

If this were any other show I'd be worried about how long before the gang and Michael are all back together, but the pace this show moves at I'm sure we'll have to wait to episodes at the most.

The snorkel is really great, because it tells a lot about Jason in such a small detail. Like, he knows that a snorkel helps you breathe in places where it's hard to breathe normally, but he hasn't quite made it to WHY it does that.

That's honestly probably why that line's there. Either side can take it as proof that Eleanor's gotten better or is still trash.

The next step is Michael going down full-time, right? The Judge makes is a competition where Trevor and Michael try and pull the group to their side, maybe with Janet as a referee?

Gaz-L posted:The next step is Michael going down full-time, right? The Judge makes is a competition where Trevor and Michael try and pull the group to their side, maybe with Janet as a referee? I'm hesitant to try and guess what's going to happen, because at best I'm wasting my time and worst-case I actually get it right, but I figure they'll want to keep up the rapid pace of plot development, and still have one impossible thing happen every episode, which doesn't work well with being set in the real world. So I reckon the Judge will find out in the next episode (how did Trevor get approval to visit?), and the Good Place will get involved because Bad Place people interfering freely on Earth has to be breaking all kinds of rules, keeping Michael busy up there, plus as a demon who is doing clearly good things, where does he belong now? Maybe Janet will go to be with Jason and even if she can't create things on Earth she'd presumably still have all her knowledge. And they'll probably realise at some point that they've all been helped by Michael, because despite hiding for the rescues he spoke with all of them face-to-face like, maybe a week ago.

I think that without most of the people in charge realizing it yet, this whole experiment with these four humans just keeps snowballing and has the potential to upend the entire way the afterlife functions. Sean is doing what he's doing, not out of official capacity, but because he personally can't stand that they got away, and now they're interfering on Earth in a way that (presumably) isn't allowed. Very excited to see where this all goes.

I don't know if Shawn's thinking on that level yet. So far it seems more personal; not only did he let what may be the first humans ever escape the Bad Place, they also got one of his demons on their side. They're making him look pretty bad, and he seems to be pretty high-rank in terms of management.

I feel like Eleanor is going to figure out that something is weird and invalidate the whole experiment by realizing that she was resurrected for some weird purpose. I just wonder if that happens in the finale or like the next episode.

Brisbane is very highly saturated with American restaurants - they've been the number 1 fad for a number of years now and we have far more of them than Sydney. There are 7 American restaurants within walking distance of my house and all of them serve chilli fries. In general we also have just as good, or possibly better chinese food; with the exception of Hotpot which appears to be super common in Sydney but very rare in Brisbane. What sets Sydney apart from the other capitals is the very substantial, and very highly concentrated Middle Eastern population in the western suburbs; therefore any trip to Sydney needs to focus on the consumption of Middle Eastern and Afghan food. There is very little Middle Eastern Cuisine in Brisbane. And of course Hotpot; since there isn't much of that here. Finally; Sydney has Cow and the Moon Gelato in Enmore, which won best Gelato in the world a few years back - The need to hit that daily dictates much of my other travel plans. I'm proud to report I consumed 21 scoops of gelato during my 2 weeks in Sydney itself.
