Well, we do have a pretty small sample size. We've only seen, what, five actual humans? I am a little curious if old people stay old in this show's version of the afterlife, though. Maybe the real Good Place is so good that you don't even care if you eternally have the body of a 90-year-old.

New episode tonight Tahani throws a dinner party to impress; and Eleanor and Jason both lend a hand when things don't go as planned. That sounds like an episode of Family Matters, but I’m sure it will be a lot more complicated than that b

Interesting that there seems to be an implication that, even though the pairings were originally designed specifically to piss one-another off, Eleanor and Chidi and Tahani and Jason have kind of fallen into the roles that Michael placed them in as, if not soul mates, than at least kindred spirits in some way.

Its also kind of fascinating that a show is able to pull off characters that have had character development erased and not make it frustrating to watch. This is the Good Place Team from pretty early season 1, but I don't feel like I'm having my time wasted.

What Michael never realized is that NOBODY has a real soul mate. People come together and love each other for various reasons... and a trying situation which he has created for them is one of those reasons. And when there are only four humans available, of course they’d pair off as they have.

At first I was like "Why the hell is Tahani upset that people with magic powers are throwing a better party?" but then she realized how dumb that was.

You know what I just realized? Even though Jason is in the Bad Place, he's literally too dumb for the torture to work. He's loving living it up. Even in the first iteration where he had to seriously pretend to be Jianyu for a while, he still got to have quite literally the best butthole he could imagine (and given that we know Janet can summon cocaine, probably more drugs and booze than he'd ever seen in his life). The only one where it seemingly actually got to him was the one with the other silent monk, and he blew that one within a day because it got to him (any iteration where being Jianyu is actually a serious burden for him is an iteration that will immediately collapse). In this one, he just got to ride a loving unicorn, build an actual bear, and bang Tahani. The idea was flawed from the outset, because this idea for a Bad Place cannot work for him, because he is legitimately too dumb to understand it, even when directly told. And Michael seems to realize it, because he seems to find Jason kind of adorable. Also, the dance crew running gag is

Yeah, the scale of 1 to 8 to 13 where 8 was the highest was amazing. I didn't much care for mid-life crisis Michael but other than that I liked the episode a lot.

Dansen basically did "The Scream" at one point, which is a painting of existential angst. Jason and Tahani getting together was kinda out of left field. It didn't really flow naturally from the events of the episode.

I have a thing in the back of my head that the four of hem are really there to rehabilitate all of the demons and part of it is that they really are 'soulmates' but my theory isn't really fleshed out yet. But with the VCR tape two(?) weeks back and this weeks post-coital acceptance it's pushing things in that direction. And much love for Ted Danson, I can't believe he's almost 70!

Coaaab posted:We've already seen Chidi and Eleanor in bed together (albeit in a past iteration), so I wonder if this is gonna be a running gag with an unpredictable pair of characters sleeping together every few episodes or so. Oh I didn't mean it like that. I kinda assume since they've been through 800 iterations that all kind of poo poo has gone down. It just didn't seem like the episode set it up well. I love how a couple of episodes now have drawn on Jason's dance crew experience to resolve storylines.

I wonder if that's ultimately going to happen to all four characters: even knowing the town is a setup, they still end up torturing each other and themselves because they're flawed and can't help it. Maybe Michael's mistake was resetting when someone figured out the game. Maybe he should've let things play out regardless.

Better question is how have the characters not learned that they have access to a magical robot lady who can bring them unicorns on demand? Who throws a party with access to unicorns and does not include them, that's the real question. Edit: Hell, for that matter Jason is the smartest of all of them, at least he realized he could get an xbox.
