Yeah the past couple eps haven't felt truly like "The Good Place." Granted yes, they're still good and smart and funny and clever, but it's just so different with Janet not being Janet-y. But with the ending of this episode that may change.

Now I kind of want to see "God" or whatever board of directors passes for "God" that sets the point totals for various acts and oversees the Good and Bad Places.

Chidi went to the bad place for having an anxiety disorder and Jason went in for being too stupid. Yeah, he was a criminal, but he was kinda' too stupid not to be.

Eleanor scammed people for a living and was a monumental piece of poo poo in her personal life, and Tahani was petty and vain and didn't do anything that wasn't self-serving.

The whole point of the show, though, is that the rules by which we're judged are kind of bullshit, and that circumstances matter. It's almost like an exercise in teaching the influence of systems.

All four really have cases for not being there, though some are stronger than others.

Chidi has crippling anxiety. You can argue that Jason is so dumb that he's mentally disabled, and therefore not in complete understanding of right and wrong. Tahani did raise billions for charity regardless of her motivations, plus she has abandonment issues. Elanor to a degree also has abandonment issues and keeps people at arm's length because inside she's terrified of getting hurt again.

Yeah up until that moment I kinda felt Kamila might actually be a good person who was aware of how much her talent influenced those around her and simply tried to be creative and give people what they want but that moment basically said everything; she's a narcissistic monster who unlike Tahani who just desperately wants approval is completely aware of how amazing she is and laps it up.

Bad place for sure. She's gonna be in a room where everything she does is considered mediocre and derivative.

Or keeping with the theme on Earth, she'll breeze right into the Good Place and everyone will call her the best person ever.

If only there was some sort of afterlife where you could just have a great big bloody murder spree and everyone gets to come back to life and do it all the next day. There'd be no grudges, just good sporting killing and maiming, and every evening you'd have a big feast and completely drunk with everyone you just murdered. Some sort of...chamber of killing, murder hall, violence hall...Viohall or something.

There might be. According to the Good Place point totals, you can both commit a genocide and end slavery and still be way ahead in the positive.

So... this all counts for points, right? They all know that none of this can save them from the Bad Place so they’re doing all of this with no expectation of reward.

I'm pretty sure that's how they're gonna play it, yeah. They'll plead their case in front of the judge (again) and there'll be no precedent and she'll be really conflicted and that's how we start off next season.

Mindy St Clair doesn't really seem to be tortured at all.

except for the part where they keep forgetting to bring her cocaine.

I don't know, living a life in complete solitude and having nothing be the way you want it could be a form of at least *light* torture.

Jeremy Bearimy was a joke the writers played on Michael Schur because he never made any drat sense when explaining how time works in the show.

It's a running gag from the finale of Season 1 through episode 2 of Season 2 where each time he finds out he's in the Bad Place, he thinks it's because of almond milk (until he finds out the real reason).

No, I know about the running gag. I just must have missed where it was confirmed as part of the reason he's there.
