The grammar is super bad and none of the endings or plurals agree. It's something like "Unfaithful Feasts mockeries - I fear his"

As scrupulously nerdy as the show is, I'm just shocked they didn't run it by a Latin speaker. I can sort of recognize what they intended except for "Eius" which is just a weird dangling pronoun.

Deficient brain: Latin is Bad Place because Latin is the worst Large brain: Fake Latin is Bad Place because lazy and incorrect translations are evil Energized brain: Fake Latin is Bad Place because the only people it annoys are those with the greatest need for any semblance of joy in their cold, beige lives Transcendent brain: SEMPER UBI SUB UBI

This kind of reminds me of when Aaron Sorkin had the latin dialogue in Two Cathedrals on West Wing. He said he wrote in english the dialogue and gave it to a professor at USC to translate . He then took that and gave it to a professor at UCLA to translate back into english. He took all of those to yet another professor to synthesize the best translation. My point is if it takes three separate academics to get an accurate translation, then I am ok with you fudging. We all get what they were trying to say.

That episode was excellent. The most amazing part of this show for me is it just flies by. Also I’d like to plug superstore the last couple episodes were really on point for humour.

That was actually a funny story that came up in one of my classes; it was because Sorkin wanted Bartlett to curse God using mild idomatic English profanity, ("To hell with you!") but it turns out that actual Latin profanity is almost totally, and astonishingly, scatological in nature, so they had to kludge something together to fit. He actually says something like "To the cross with you," or "Crucify those words", or similar.

Spanish Matlock posted:I do kind of wonder why they didn't just offer these four a job, since they're all terrible people. Michael doesn't offer them a job because he knows at least some of them wouldn't accept, Sean doesn't offer them a job because he doesn't know how terrible they are in anything more than an academic "read their files" way, the demons don't offer them a job because like Michael was until recently they're entirely dismissive of humans and unable to believe they could be as good as them at anything even when presented with evidence to the contrary and the Bad Place doesn't offer them a job because they want to dissect their brains to make Michael's new method of mental torture even better. Old Eleanor would have accepted a job in a heartbeat, but Chidi would be horrified at the very idea, Tahani would be equally horrified at the concept of working for anyone or anything and Jason would probably just not care or try and skive off even if he accepted initially. At this point though all four would probably turn them down even if it was offered; even if Jason was mostly doing it because every else did and peer pressure forced him. Or he was just told not to.

If you're not following The Good Place on Instagram, you should be. They're sending Manny Jacinto (Jason) to the Jacksonville Jaguars playoff game today and he's posting stuff to their 'stories' which you can only see if you're a follower.

The only way to get humans to torture each other is by offering them a reprieve from their own torture, and that decreases the total amount of torture so they can't do it.

Have we seen Jason dance on the show? I feel like it's one of those gags that's being built up with his mentions of his dance crew, and he'll finally have to do it and the other 4 are cringing, assuming it's as bad as his music, but then he does poo poo like that.

PostNouveau posted:Yeah, and Sean's response to the humans escaping was "This is PR nightmare. We need to cover it up." Seems like he might think the same thing when he finds out the truth. Jeb! Repetition posted:It's still possible Michael was just doing this to save himself. The most likely people to rat on him were Vicky and the humans, now Vicky is discredited and the humans think he's on their side.

Fritzler posted:My question is, PR to who? Is there some sort of consumer or voter base that keeps them in power? His own higher ups, I assume. He's using "PR nightmare" in a figurative sense, I assume The Bad Place doesn't have a PR department. I do love the implication that The Bad Place is just a giant loving mess of a bureaucracy, with Michael being like Peter from Office Space. "I have eight bosses!"
