I sell only quality merkins. What is a merkin you ask? Why, it's a wig for your genitals!

Wouldn't the best course of action be to telephone the Judge at this point?

But then all of their progress would be reset.

It occurs to me that the fact that Bad Janet was neither marbleized...
This made me realize that Good Janet was marbleized and then, just, no longer marbleized when they came to rescue her?

Not saying it's some convoluted Good Janet is actually yet another Bad Janet, but it just seemed odd to explicitly say she was marbelized but the not mention the unmarbelizing.

And Bad Janet mentioned the unmarbleizing by implication when she said Good Janet was currently being tortured in the previous episode.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that :blush:

My new personal mantra is: To be fair, you can't torture a marble.
Have marbelized Janet go through a real (after)life recreation of Marble Madness.

Mindy's house is literally right next to where they've been the whole time

In any case they've likely been frozen when the experiment ended just like the other two
So they froze in place, but not the Escalade, so it's just continuing to drive with a frozen human's foot on the gas.

I love how the Good Place negotiation team are absolute feckless pushovers who will gladly give into every demonic demand in the name of Reasonable Compromise and Decorum. It's a perfect teardown of the Democratic Party.
Shawn felt very maga chud with how he didn't care if the entire universe rebooted, and he lost out on torturing humans, so long as it meant Micheal lost/suffered.

So now we find out the Good Place is actually really lame since it's full of those Good Place Committee people?

Sure, I get that, but as I've said before, the major thesis of the show has always been "what we owe to each other" not "what's best for you." So for them to get to their destination and on a dime switch to "now that you're here, do what's best for you" is a jarring tonal shift that feels rushed and incomplete.

OK do what's best for others in this place where no one needs anything.

The day before the episode aired I was watching the episode "Gripes of Wrath" from Duckman of all things. In the episode a super computer solves all of life's problems creating a Utopia. However within a month it's apocalyptic for very much the same reasons as the Good Place.

They call those that work for the Bad Place "Demons", but AFAIK they haven't called the Good Place Committee "Angels".

I thought the reveal was just going to be that nobody in the neighborhood actually belonged and it was a huge screw up.
Well nobody in that neighborhood did belong in The Good Place, aside from Janet.
