I'm fairly confident the show's thesis statement was not delivered by Vicki in a Michael suit.

That little sob was heart wrenching. And my money is on Glenn being the railroad zombie. He's on the same path as Michael, who will be revealed as the true human subject of all the experiments. all if the humans will be revealed as angels. Janet will still be Janet, and Shawn will be revealed to be a Janet in a skin suit.

That's my guess, either to cause commotion or he's legitimately switching sides.

Outside theory: it's Mindy St. Clair warning of an impending Derek-apocalpyse, having created a ton of incredibly dumb Derek-babies all on his own. This sort of fits in with everybody having a foil this season.

He also might try and turn Jason but Jason is a pure and good boy who can BS his way through some of the dumber demons.

I wonder if playing Good Janet for bad reasons will become a habit and eventually Bad Janet will be Neutral Janet. The experiment itself fails miserably but team cockroach win because Glenn and BJ are no longer actually evil.

Did somebody say dumbass theory time?

all of the experiments are designed to teach janets how to be good. our good Janet has been rebooted millions of times before being activated by Michael.

What's to stop the good demons from taking over the bad place entirely and restructuring it, thus making the accountants meaningless.

This implies that the accountants are secretly rigging the points system to ensure they'll always have more accounting work.

fake edit: after that many resets, perhaps he'll be clean shaven.

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.

Watched the last two episodes again. One of the things I noticed is how off the pacing is in both of them. There's also a big thematic similarity in terms of setup with the good place committee running off and seasons 3+4 around reforming hell and uplifting Michael & team cockroach.

I think it might have been planned to have a season 5 to address good place problems, and it couldn't come together for some reason. prior seasons have always been centered around One Big Philosophical Issue, this season has two. The scene with Michael signing his life away would have been as big a season cliffhanger as any other in the show's history. I also think a lot of the exposition has been rushed: the Jeremy Bearimy title card was weird and the team just announcing "here's a mystery door for when you're too tired of the good place" was rushed, too. They've always built up to decisions like those in the past to help the audience understand them better.

I'm rambling now, but these are the things I saw. I don't enjoy the show any less, but there's been some rough edges this season.

Dr Christmas posted:

As the series wraps up, I know actually building a cosmology is not what the series was interested in. Still, it bugs me that every supernatural being has been introduced as exclusively concerned with building and maintaining afterlives and not the rest of existence, including the Judge. But also the judge has the unilateral authority to reset the living universe.

Who doesn't want to know where the good place beings ran off to? What's their vacation look like?
