Switching Michael!!!

Edit: they mentioned the Michael Suit in both the webisodes and the recap. He was offscreen. That's absolutely not Michael.

Oh, geez, I'm slow on the uptake today. Linda's first request after waking up was to ask if there was a fitness center in the Good Place. Of course That One Demon wanted to go to the gym...

Wild rear end guess: If it is Vicki, she is totally method and ends up understanding Michael while trying to inhabit her character and becomes the second demon they manage to change and then even if the overall experiment technically fails, it succeeded because it made a another demon become a better "person"

That�s a good theory. Shows also don�t like making likable women the heavy, so it would make sense for Vicki to be redeemed

Another point is the number of times we see a reaction shot of Michael. I almost feel like the writers want us all to figure out �the twist,� only to have the rug pulled out by revealing that yes it�s Vicki but she�s come over to The Good Side. I love theorycrafting! (-2,108 points)

So on the "micheal got swapped" theory I didn't see anyone mention this but when Michael admits he faked his breakdown Eleanor says to him "you tricky devil!" and they cut to Michael kinda frowning. It's probably an over-analyzation (and I'm not some big proponent of either side of the theory) but it caught my eye.

I�m telling you, there are reaction shots of Michael that do not make sense if he is Michael.

The only hitch is how could they switch if he went on the train with Janet? But I�m positive that can be answered.

So it did about as well as Abby's Place

At least Abby�s got to finish on television. After tomorrow night�s episode, it�s being moved to the NBC app to finish out its 11-episode run. They�re currently in production of episode 9, so at least they�ll have a chance to wrap up whatever story they�ve got going on. Will and Grace is being moved up from their planned midseason premiere to fill that time slot next week.

Also, Sunnyside and Abby�s were just shows with Schur�s stamp as producer, right? Not mainline joints like B99 and TGP.

I wish there was a way to find such data, an �engine,� if you will, wherein such information could be searched (it�s Kalpen Suresh Modi)

On a talk show recently, he recalled how he got his stage name: His college buddies were helping him get acting work, and suggested a catchier name. They landed on turning his first name into two. They also supposedly suggested Kal Pacino and Kalista Flockhart.

So this is why I have Hulu. I'm too lazy to read the thread, but the poorly drawn childhood horse looked like something straight from 2008 somethingawful. Are there any goons working on the show?

(Yes, I know there are other groups with professional artists coloring in children's drawings, but I think SA was the first place I encountered it.)

Lol!

It immediately reminded me of a classic Al Jaffee piece from the January 1963 issue of MAD.

Reincarnation is the end game. All those resets for Team C and Janet, maybe Genny will decide that we all get a few do overs before being consigned to the dump of the afterlife.

Well, it IS dumbass theory time!

I wanted to post last week about how �Janet� was acting strange, and her quiet little �yeah.� in ep 3 after Tahani walks off. But I thought: �No, this is too theory, the thread shouldn�t be made worse with this take.�

I could have been The Rightest Poster, the One Who Called It. But I let decorum and fear of a fun thread keep me quiet.

Don�t make the same mistake. Post your crazy theories

END CHEMTRAILS NOW posted:

If hell is other people, then maybe heaven is too. My crazy theory is that when they reform the afterlife, they create a bunch of medium place neighborhoods that are similar to Michael's original "good" place. Humans are sorted into groups in a way similar to the original 4. Then it's up to the humans if they'll work together to become better or make each other miserable.

This is a pretty great idea. Tonally similar to the ending of Broad City.

Do we know how many eps are left?

We don�t know for sure, yet; the previous schedule showed that there were three eps in November and 1 on December 5. The December show has since been removed from the schedule. Meaning, instead of a minimum of 4 episodes left to air when the show returns on January 9 (we assume,) there will be 5. And possibly 6, or even a maximum of 7*. But we really have no way of knowing, until a final schedule is released for January and beyond.

What I can tell you, is the the names of next three episodes! :monocle:

11.07 Help is Other People
11.14 The Funeral to End All Funerals
11.21 The Answer

Enjoy them, because there looks to be a six-week break between episodes after that.

*One of the podcast (I don�t remember which) stated that the show�s contract stipulates short, 13-episode seasons, with an option to add 2 more episodes, IIRC. I may not, in fact, RC, so if anyone knows anything, feel free to pipe up

If Michael really wanted Brent's book, he could have just asked Janet for $60. Maybe he trying not to overtax her given how much strain the neighborhood has put her under already though.

Outside bet on season ending

the experiment ends. Shawn and Michael welcome Eleanor to her new life as a demon in the bad place because of how well she forked over both her friends and the experiment subjects.

Wait, is this based on actual spoilers, or is it just theory? Do we still spoiler theory?

I just had a terrible thought.

Fred Armisen is a guest star on tonight�s episode of Superstore, because of course he is; Fred Armisen is sitcom cancer, every series I�ve watched in the past decade, he eventually shows up. His life�s mission is to appear on every show except the one with a band which he ostensibly leads.

He�s going to end up being God or some poo poo on The Good Place, isn�t he.

Now the schedule is confirmed: New episodes January 9, 16, 23, and 29, airing in the new time of 8:30/7:30c, with the 29th being a 90-minute finale, the last 30 minutes of which will be an aftershow panel interview by Seth Meyers.

Makes me wonder if the schedule shifted slightly and last week's was meant to be the hiatus start. It would've been one heck of a good (and torturous) cliffhanger.

Actually, there was originally one ep scheduled to run the first week of December, but it was pulled a couple weeks ago.

Timings for tonight�s broadcast

Thought people watching live might find this handy for knowing how long the breaks will be. Also note that the show ends at 67 minutes, not 53. Assuming that the live post show starts immediately after the sixth break, the running time of the finale, without commercials, is 47:58.
