We also know that he's lying about faking the breakdown and putting Eleanor in charge which goes against Michael normally being completely honest with Eleanor.
Well, the breakdown was because of Shawn revealing that if the experiment fails, the humans would be tortured for eternity by "Michael". There's a lot of reasons he wouldn't reveal that to anyone, let alone an overstressed Elanor.

Glenn is totally pulling a double-bluff.

Evil Mastermind

New theory: Shawn and Vikki manipulated Glenn to do this, because they know he'd flip if he thought they were screwing with the experiment. Glenn thinks he's telling the truth but he's wrong.

e: Jesus they really know how to play with audience expectations, don't they?

... another missed opportunity. It would have been cool to see Shawn give a totally different read on the whole "Jason? Oh... this is a new low point. This one hurts." Or something. What can I say? I like callbacks.
Well Shawn probably doesn't know yet, so there's still hope!

Brent is a charicature of a person but still, maybe team cockroach is going to learn that you can't win them all. He is destined straight for hell because he has no willingness to change.
I mean, yeah he's a caricature but at the same time, he's basically Trump. A dude who's had everything handed to him, is convinced that WINNING is all that matters, and has never had any sort of actual pushback in his life.

Now, for the first time in his existence he's actually in a situation where people aren't just agreeing with him, placating him, or letting him fail upwards. And like Trump, he's incapable of dealing with it.

Ben Koldyke was on this week's podcast, and he talks about how his main influence on Brent was actually Brett Kavanaugh. Particularly the "I'm sorry everyone else is upset" factor, but I think Brent has more Trump than Kavanaugh.

It was pretty low of Simone and John to leave while Brent was in the pit. It would be funny if he actually managed to improve as a person more than them.
I feel that it does line up with Simone's flaw of "once she locks into an opinion, it's hard to get her to change it", so she's already written off Brent as being unsalvagable and belonging in the Bad Place.

I feel like other than for the spiteful gently caress you of them not existing anymore Shaun should be on Team Cockroach's side on this one if only because the Bad Place would have nothing to do for a few billion years as opposed to torturing fewer people for shorter
I'm sure he's happy to just finally get some downtime.

I feel like the ending is going to involve the idea that there isn't a universal "okay, we're done setting this up forever" solution. They're going to find edge cases or odd exceptions and will constantly have to adjust the system as time moves on. After all, the stagnation of the points system is what caused the current problems in the first place.
