Senor Tron posted:Interesting how Mindy seems to have not changed in all that time. Also given that the 30 years Mindy had been in the Medium Place in the first season corresponded with her dying in the 1980s I wonder if that means on Earth it is now the late 23rd century. We don't really know if time in the Good/Bad Place moves at the same rate as Earth time. The writers can handle it either way just depending on what they want to do when or if they check back in on earth again.

One of Mike Schur's good friends is long-suffering Cleveland fan and sportswriter Joe Posnanski. Remember when they showed how many points different actions earned you? "Remain loyal to the Cleveland Browns" was on there for that reason.

Now that I've slept on it there are a ton of questions from this episode. Why can the team even go to the medium place? If they have no such ability to go to the good place, why even have the option of escape? What happens the first time someone discovers the team has memories? Moreover what happens when Mindy goes off the rails about how successful her single attempt is and tries to usurp Michael?

I kind of felt bad for Tahani after seeing how she died. I mean, she wasn't a great person but goddamn, that's some cold poo poo from her sister. "You're not the greatest person alive like I am, so you're nothing" is pretty mean. Even her flashbacks to her as a kid from the first season were pretty drat depressing. And Micheal is definitely going to gently caress them over, no way does he think he can get into the Good Place. He's just trying to buy time until he can get control back.

I'm thinking Tahani's sister ended up in the Bad Place too, just the normal Bad Place with the water that turns to spiders in your mouth.

The next reveal is that they've been in the good place the entire time and this has actually all just been an extremely complicated way to get them to improve themselves. The resets weren't because of failure, they're trying to get them to the point where they're intrinsically good from the start.

The twist is that they're in the Average Place, which is completely different than the Medium Place.

Honestly, Tahani's realization that she was actually a pretty bad person was kind of great. Especially the way it takes a while to sink in and just completely bounces off her at first.

I keep thinking the Tahani stuff is going to be worse. I was sure Michael was going to say she took out some people with her with that statue.

I'm a big fan of Jason and Manny Jacinto plays him so well. Really great character. "I met this guy at the gun range in the Jacksonville bus station."

Yeah I was expecting her to pull the statue down, crushing her, and then have it pan out to show the entire Rock and Roll Hall of Fame en fuego and people screaming.

I'm from Cleveland and a Cleveland joke never fails to get a laugh from me. The 30 Rock Cleveland episode is one of my favorite episodes of anything ever. Actual analysis time: Cleveland is like the perfect sad sack city specifically because it isn't actually that bad. It's pretty normal. It had some rough times but it's doing pretty well these days. It's like jokes about Detroit, but less dark because we know in real life it's just kind of a vaguely boring standard city. QuoProQuid posted:Another time we set our river on fire. Yes, also we set our river on fire. More than once, believe it or not. But the famous time it happened was actually an inciting event in the founding of the EPA  Also Great Lakes Brewery makes a Burning River Pale Ale that's pretty good

I've only been to Cleveland once, but my main memory of the place was how the entire city smelled like sewage. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was cool though.

For as selfish and self absorbed as Tahani was, her sister seems to have been much worse really. Her sister was everything Tahani was but actually successfully the picture of perfection and much more conceited because of it. It'd actually be kind of fun to have Tahani meet her sister in the bad place at some point in the future when she's started to actually change and be torn between wanting to poo poo all over her sister and help her despite the past. tsob fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Oct 6, 2017 |

The clown door with the music that separates Eleanor's bed room from the rest of the house is such a great joke. It was funny in season one and it was funny when they brought it back in this episode.

I think there might be one way that Tahani's sister ends up in the good place, and ironically enough it's all because of Tahani. See, from what we've seen Tahani's sister was a horrible person in life, but then something happens to her: she watches her sister die. Not only that, but it could be argued that she was the cause of her sisters death and the last thing she ever said to her was "I don't think of you at all" and she had to live the rest of her life knowing that. That's the kind of thing that'll change a person.
