Obviously he’s extremely awful, but it’s kind of weird that they keep judging Brent for just asking for stuff. They literally told him he’s in heaven and that he can just call a magic lady who will deliver anything he wants. If I was in that situation, you’re drat right I’m ordering some Perrier and a car.

Arist posted:I thought they had absolutely replaced Michael, but this episode totally cured me of that. It makes no emotional sense for that speech to have been fake. It wasn't fake, Vicky totally empathizes with Eleanor because everyone doubted she could run the neighborhood as well.

Neon Noodle posted:The Christian theological parallels are pretty abundant in this show, though I don’t think they’re necessarily intentional. Just stuff about philosophy that results from the historical and philosophical legacy of Christianity and Christian Neoplatonism. Just what we need, comparing more things to jesus.

Sloth Life posted:They are really leaning into Dumb Useless Jason more than ever. He thought putting Chidi and Simone together was a good idea! He stands by the bro code even when his world has fallen apart and does NOT leave Eleanor hanging. Show my dude some respect 😠 Jason is going to remember all 800+ resets somehow, become the Kwisatz Haderach, and throw the perfect molotov, saving humanity The Jaguars will still lose

I kind of feel like they don't really know what to do with Tahani right now. She's just been kind of in the background after her whole confrontation with her sister.

It feels like we are focusing on Brent for now, and Tahani may get her arc with the gossip columnist a bit later like maybe after the experiment falls apart.

The descriptions for the next two episodes are: Episode 3: Michael and Eleanor discover something troubling and turn to an unusual source for help; Tahani lends her expertise to assist with one of the new residents. Episode 4: Uncertainty abounds when an unexpected visitor arrives.

Whalley posted:They find evidence that Simone started a cult based around a weird book she discovered that describes, in detail, exactly how the afterlife works, from the point of view of a demon architect and Not A Robot I'm not even sure if Janet would be capable of blushing, but if she could, then she'd be doing it right now.

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.

But I’m positive that can be answered.

Michael frowns because he didn’t fake his breakdown. The Michael suit’s appearance in the preview was to remind us of the circumstances of that breakdown after almost a year off the air (and to remind us the demons can make skin suits, so Linda's reveal isn't confusing). Part 2 knocks down the theory really early, so if you're still looking for clues during Eleanor and Michael’s conversation, that's time which could be better spent crying instead

I think I got it. It’s not about what the Bad Place did on the train, but what Michael and Janet did. I bet they turned Chris or swapped him with a Janet-Baby for reasons.

Kegslayer posted:I love how every crazy theory could be plausible simply because the show is that well written. The thing is, I'm not just throwing it out as a crazy theory. Look at (and more importantly, listen to) him in that scene where he's talking to Jason. He doesn't sound right for Michael's usual interactions with Jason; usually, he either softballs any criticism directed Jason's way or speaks frankly but under the assumption Jason won't understand him. In that scene, he's just being hammer-blunt about how badly Jason's been loving up with Janet, in a way that really reminds me more of how Shawn's dialogue is written. My suspicion is that Shawn's been continuing to put his finger on the scale by donning the Michael suit and going out into the neighborhood to gently caress with our protagonists whenever they're not with Real Michael, and that this'll be caught when Jason brings up that conversation to Real Michael and Real Michael goes "wait what."

LORD OF BOOTY posted:The thing is, I'm not just throwing it out as a crazy theory. Doesn't Michael give Jason actual good advice during that scene? What would Shawn's motivation be for giving Jason good advice? Shawn is cartoonishly evil. That's his whole character. Have we ever seen him do anything (after the reveal at the end of Season 1) without explicit knowledge of his intentions? The demon-in-a-suit trick might have been the longest his actions were disguised from the audience, and that lasted one episode.

Michael being replaced by someone in a micheal suit isn't happening, for these reasons: it's clumsily telegraphed/foreshadowed. it robs the character michael of stuff to do in the early season it doesn't lead to anywhere interesting a body-swap/infiltrator story is somewhat cliché we haven't dealt with anything old michael wouldn't do. In short, it's not happening because it is the expected thing to happen. Now you want a twist? Here's a twist. Team cockroach is going to fail. They will not rehabilitate the human test subjects to the point where they make up the point loss of their current lovely selves. BUT. Almost all the important discussion has occurred around the Accountant's Obelisk. The same accountant who was previously miserable annotating Weird Sex Things. Who will go back to Weird Sex Things if this experiment fails. Who may or may not be able to hear the moral debates of Team Cockroach, and be influenced by the implications. Or who can be blackmailed to give positive points because otherwise it's back to Weird Sex Things for him. And as the show has repeatedly debated, doing a good thing for corrupt reasons is still doing good.
