I read it more as a critique of philosophical absolutism, but I think it's interesting and funny that so many vocal posters are jumping to the idea that an ad-supported TV show on one of the major media companies in the country is somehow devastating to the bourgeoisie. It reminds me of conservative websites that list "the top 100 conservative songs" and they're completely unaware of how full of poo poo they are.

Taear posted:It is absolutely about capitalism. Don't be the "Ah I see you use things in society so how can you be against it??" guy. No one from a non-capitalist society has gotten in either. Everyone we've met from the good place is an ineffectual, unthinking bureaucrat - blissfully unaware of the harm they are inflicting and their own hypocrisy. The person who seemingly made it closest to actually getting into the good place in the past 500 years was an arch capitalist. If you want, you can read all this as 'capitalism's harmful effect on society is what prevents good people from getting into the good place!' I think, if anything, the more accurate read along similar lines would be 'the people in the good place have turned the afterlife into the ultimate capitalist dystopia, using the tyranny of their currency of points to separate themselves and their rewards from the rest of existence.'

Thranguy posted:Odd that it wouldn't have come up, but we've met nor heard the fate of any believer in anything. My guess is that this is more of a case of being some combination of being overly cautious and/or an NBC/S&P mandate to keep it vague and not offend anyone. Networks are having a hard enough time getting a broad audience, the last thing they want is to be front and center in the culture war with their silly prestige fantasy sitcom.

The real problem isn’t that no one gets into the good place, it’s that if you don’t get into the good place, you’re tortured.

The whole point of the show is that people can get better by working with each other. I know Michael and Janet aren't human, but they both get to learn along the way and be better to those around them. (Janet was never bad, of course, but she's not an automaton anymore.)

Demon played by Adam Scott. He got flicked away by the Judge, I think in the second episode of the season?

Kinda disappointed with the episode, to be honest. I wouldn't have thought that of the two shows, Star Trek Discovery would have had the better episode yesterday, but here we are. One of the gloriously amazing things about The Good Place was how it continuously, gleefully blows up its premise every few episodes. It can do that because its character writing is stellar and as long as the characters stay the same, plot and even genre are malleable. So it's disappointing to see them go back to the Elanor-Chidi will-they-won't-they after we already know they're eternally destined for each other. Really sucks the tension and drama out of the scenario. This episode felt more like setup than payoff, which is a weird way to end the season. If they were going to go to this well, they should have started doing it in season 4. I think a perfect ending to this season would have been if the last episode were one or two scenes longer and ended with Elanor greeting the new guy as the new 'architect.' Now that's a cliffhanger with some bite!

Silly Burrito posted:Just caught up, and...it's over already for this season? Are you kidding? It's one of the best things to happen to American TV recently. When you have to do 22-24 episodes, you end up stretching too far, delaying stories and payoffs too long, and treading water too often. It's hard on the writers, hard on the actors, hard on the crew. More content solely for the sake of having more content leads to watering down your show, not improving your show.
