I liked it but it definitely went a lot slower than the other season premieres

also was there a thing people caught that implies the switch happened

He's kind of a loser even among demons, he was the one who was laughed at when he was worried that their picks for the experiment were cheating. Shawn has a personal dislike for him even beyond the usual bad place shenanigans.

He also had some interesting character beats in the webisodes they just put out that felt like they might be going somewhere with him

OH SNAP.

I think someone in the thread thought about this, but it was dismissed immediately.

her forgetting to say 'not a girl' was the clincher imo

Brent is just the worst.

too much of the episode has been not just directly addressing how much of a poo poo he is imo

trying to have everyone be tactful about it is just dumb

edit: good.

honestly going 'sometimes people aren't redeemable' might be nice, especially when talking about a rich racist rear end in a top hat

she's suffered as a result of brent for a literal year without him changing an inch and her boyfriend picked him over her despite both knowing her pain and suffering as much because of brent himself

even at that basic level she's not wrong

I would like it if whatever the show resolves to ends up with the good place reps improving but I think they're going to stay side jokes to the end

the finale is probably going to have to have the crew go through the system they set up, them saying their goodbyes, and someone saying 'alright, here we go.' maybe even Michael snapping his fingers as the last shot.

if it can give you everything then you should be able to get more time with people if you need it, though

no I don't know how that gels with everything else

# ¿ Jan 24, 2020 15:19

flatluigi: Apr 23, 2008; here come the planes

I'm not expecting anything but a time jump and their goodbyes honestly

this ep, if a little weak, was a good capper and happy ending -- but there's still an epilogue

So the only difference between suicide on Earth versus living a good life to its fullest, helping everyone around you and eventually dying naturally is getting an Unlimited Pass to the Best VR Experience Ever, followed by inevitable suicide.

That's your eternal reward for not screwing over everyone around you.

And also since the show isn't going to commit to full blown Catholic Church philosophy and declare that people who commit suicide on Earth are barred from Eternal Peace, that means the only punishment for living a horrific life on Earth for their own selfish purposes is the exact same True Death of Eternal Braindead Peace (minus the couple century pass at Heaven's VR Fucktopia).

100%, if you wanted to min-max this philosophy, you should Boomer your loving balls off and abuse everything around you to your own benefit, because ultimately nothing matters and eventually you'll either wind up stuck in the backwash of reincarnation for eternity or you'll eventually finally be given the Gift of Perfect Suicide.

gently caress me.

maybe wait for the finale before being this much of a raging rear end in a top hat

So I know it's a TV comedy and not deserving of the nitpick treatment, but if Janet knows everything why didn't she know that the Good Place was broken, or that no people had been allowed to enter in hundreds of years? She knows who went to the bad place, as she showed at the beginning and again when she tells Chidi that Aristotle was in the Bad Place because of slavery.

But, I guess they can't make her truly omniscient because she would have seen through Michael's plan immediately and known she was in the Bad Place.

She knew everything about Earth and some basics that were relevant to the neighborhood, but she's never been wholly omniscient and was specifically shown in the latest ep as needing to download good place info

I really don't know how so many of you could've watched the entire run of this show and insist it's loving advocating suicide
