Ted Dansons accent was obviously intentionally awful and Simone had some awful moments but I honestly didn't peg any other outright fakes although Chidis friend with the boots that I've seen before in Australian stuff is definitely affecting a broader accent than he usually has.

it was really weird because some parts of it sounded like a legit broad accent but some just sounded as bad as Micheals awful Paul Hogan impression

I think the fake australian accent is very funny because its essentially what happens if you affect the broad australian accent with way too much enthusiasm instead of drawling it

oh yeah 100% even past the western sydney red rooster line where people actually have broader accents they're still very different from the sort of comically broad rural ones that inform a lot of americans idea of our accents, its v funny to watch any australian that has broken through to the american market because they all have very broad accents when they play australians despite all being NIDA graduate sorts from Melbourne or Sydney Here's a good example of how to do it right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGEYD92eA_s Jezza of OZPOS fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Sep 28, 2018 |

well yeah, I wouldn't argue its not commonly known as a synonym for "chaos" but the reference to it being literally hell is p uniquely a Milton reference. The Doom reference is a nice common reference to it but I didn't even pick that up when I played it as a kid so

As someone who loves to nitpick this stuff I sort of get the annoyance at never having any attempt at a real explanation to consolidate both types of time and just sweeping it away with a cute joke, but seeing as we barely understand how time works now the cute joke seems more effort imo. Like imagine the writers room sitting around getting more annoyed and picking each other’s attempts apart and suddenly someone just screams ‘JERIMY BEARIMY’

Whenever I hear behind the scenes stuff about writers rooms on a good show I get a huge pang of admiration for the fact that they are essentially having these huge arguments over dumb poo poo so me and my friends don’t have to I also really respect the idea that when you can’t make something logically consistent you throw a dumb joke on it and move on like a particularly hard answer on a test Jezza of OZPOS fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jan 3, 2019 |

It’s not just about that though, they dug this hole long before that when they reset the fake good place timelines over and over again. Sometimes the story is more important. They established in season 2 that human time and afterlife time work differently and this entire season 3 has been dependent on that premise at its core

It’s reasonable imo to say you don’t like the season for that particular reason but trying to get some dorks on a forum to explain how the concept might actually work irl is insane bc it doesn’t, it’s a narrative conceit created to allow interesting hypothetical questions about the nature of human behaviour

Essentially the whole thing comes down to the fact that what we understand of psychology is a pseudoscience in the strictest term. That is, human behaviour cannot be replicated and repeated in a way that fulfils the empirical criteria for the scientific method. As a result it is useful to imagine realities where human behaviour COULD be replicated and repeated. This is the entire key principle of having the timelines all hosed. By doing so we allow the idea that human behaviour can be empirically studied to be added to the plot of the show and that’s more important than that the advanced laws of physics (that we barely understand irl) work perfectly in the universe

It doesn’t imply anything of the sort, they’re using human points of reference in conversation with humans. We’ve still not addressed what effects living on angel time has had on humans but from everything the show has told us, they still fundamentally perceive time the same way they did on earth while ethereal beings perceive their own hosed up timeline in a way that is obfuscated to us for two reasons: 1) it doesn’t make sense 2) it’s not important to the story, which is about humans experiencing time in a way more or less similar to our own

Gaz-L posted:It could do with nudging itself a skosh more towards the sci-fi adventure side of the spectrum. Drop some of the more frat-boy-y bodily function humour (Bortus eating cactuses is funny, jokes that are basically just "Kelly said dick on a spaceship" or "Gordon referenced Seinfeld" are pretty much the poo poo people hate Family Guy for) and go more for a tone like, say, a lighter Farscape, and you've got something possibly great. Without that, the show is probably stuck at 'pleasant, maybe pretty dece sometimes'. Yeah none of this is incorrect but I smoke a lot of weed which puts it up a few notches

Taear posted:The latter. It feels like Doug is showing that the latter is the case. I might have read way too much into the Jeremy Berimy ep but I thought the whole point of illustrating the timeline with a signature was to imply it was mostly linear but not quite. Afterlife time isn’t quite linear in the same way we experience it but it’s kind of an impossible thing to build a satisfying narrative with any kind of perception of time that isn’t at least somewhat linear. I’m getting a little abstract here bc of weed but i think the show has been super clear on the fact that people die and go to the afterlife on the same linear time scale they lived under on earth Jezza of OZPOS fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Jan 17, 2019 |
