Much like real life, when you've invested yourself in the idea that the system works, you can easily be blinded to the real injustices it perpetuates.

I'm thinking that with the show's emphasis on contractualism, it's going to end with literally "the real Good Place was the friends we made along the way".

Marbling was never said to be irreversible; the "self-destruct" mode as it was introduced in season 2 was turning Janet into a marble, then either shooting her into space or eating her. Presumably because a marblized Janet left alone could just be restored.

He didn't want to take it off because he didn't want his friends to see his true cosmic horror form, and the episode was pretty conclusive about it not being Vicky. Have the mods been resetting people's memories in this thread to punish us?

We should discuss more important things, like figuring out which eight Game of Thrones characters are based on Tahani.

I'd hate for our cast to be reincarnated because they've already effectively spent several lifetimes together, even if they don't remember most of it. I could see Michael finally getting to learn what it's like to be human by the end of things though.

I'm pretty sure that all of her stories are meant to be true. We see the occasional confirmation, like when we find out she was the one who set up Drake with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, or when we see that she dated a Hemsworth brother. I think she'd have too much pride to artificially pump up her status.

I feel like I should apologize; I foolishly thought that the GoT question would be a fun diversion from the direction the thread was earlier going in, but instead I may have doomed us all. That's my bad, guys.

Argue, season 2 TGP thread posted:I just want some of the Bad Place denizens like Vicki to end up being actual friends with the gang; I figured Michael and Vicki would have had great futures writing and acting in Hollywood. I was close!

The real Good Place would surely have infinite seasons of all your favorite shows--versions which never jump the shark, so I don't see the problem with living forever.

No, even in Coco, it was "we don't know where you go" when that happens. It's kind of funny when movies and shows about the afterlife imply the existence of an afterafterlife.

I can't believe goons are still trying to analyze how Jeremy Bearimy works like they're Johnny Fiveaces. It was an obvious joke plot device which was created so that they could do whatever was most narratively appropriate without having to worry about whether it made sense in the timeline. In-universe, it's only fathomable by 17-dimensional beings or whatever, while out-of-universe, it allows the writers to tell the audience "don't think about it", like that scene from Austin Powers 2 where they look directly at the camera and tell you to stop overthinking it. We may not know how long 1000 Bearimys is but obviously the only important takeaway we need is that it's a very very long time. We don't know how long before Tahani's parents arrived, but the important thing is that Kamilah arrived first, and they haven't seen their parents in a long while.

Okay, here's how Jeremy Bearimy definitively, conclusively works according to scientific principles. Keep in mind though that some concepts are a bit untranslatable from higher being script. What we see as cursive writing saying "Jeremy Bearimy" is actually a projection into three dimensional space of a 17-dimensional curve that encompasses not only all time but all space. Now, you may be wondering, how did ⟊⟒⎍⌇ ☊⊑⍀⟟⌇⏁ for any ☊⍜⋔⟒ ⍜⋏ ⋔⏃⋏? This is obviously inconsistent with the ⟊⟒⍀⟒⋔⊬ ⏚⟒⏃⍀⟟⋔⊬, which makes it very difficult to reconcile with the ⟒⌰⟒⏃⋏⍜⍀. Of course, the reason that they never meet duplicates of each other whenever timelines cross is because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which surprisingly applies in the afterlife just as much as it does on earth. However, the ☊⊑⟟⎅⟟ doesn't ⏁⏃⊑⏃⋏⟟ on every ⟊⏃⌇⍜⋏ but simply makes a ⋔⟟☊⊑⏃⟒⌰ .

zer0spunk posted:ha, so the misdirect in season 1 only seems like a mistake until you hit season 2 and realize he kidnapped her (and then i think s4 flashbacks when you see him initially tricking her in the first days of the building) Michael states at the end of s1 that Janet isn't one of them, during the reveal sequence.
