God will appear differently to everyone. For example, God will be Blake Bortles to Jason.

Forrest MacNeil seems like exactly the type of person who would design an extremely finicky points system for your earthly actions that determines whether or not you get to enjoy the afterlife or get tortured forever.

It would be amazing if they got him to use his speaking voice for it too, instead of his stage voice.

The whole "PR" thing is probably just how they're viewed by their counterparts in the Good Place. They don't want to lose face in front of those goody two shoes.

Tahani looks off pretending to talk to a waiter or whatever when she says "I would like to speak with your manager", and you can see Jason get a confused look on his face and turn his head to see who she's talking to. It was really quick but it made a great character moment.

You'd think all of those fake restaurant names, or at least one of them, would have failed to make me laugh--but no pun in ten did.

That was great; very light on actual comedy but it was a lot of character moments and arc culminations that felt very earned. Excited for Bad Place Heist. For a moment I thought the direction they were going for was that the cast would be caught and subjected to the Worst Nightmare scenario in the Bad Place only to discover that they'd already conquered those fears.

I'm more concerned it's going to run out of track than steam. There is a great writing team working for some great performers here; steam won't be in short supply until Season 5 or so. That's why my concern is with the length of the train tracks: we just saw the experimental neighborhood dismantled, and they're headed to The Bad Place to walk around, in the open, so they can try to find a portal and get a case heard in front of... uh, whoever is in charge. I'm not sure that going back to the neighborhood is an issue, and going to The Good Place would probably end the series.

Were this a miniseries, I'd have nothing to worry about. But I want this to go on longer, because man, this show is great. Better than we deserve, really. I would hate to see it steam right off the tracks because they've run out of new (or at least interesting) things to do.

On a similar note, my favorite moment was the unacknowledged high five between Jason and Eleanor after he mentioned 69 and 420 as possible best versions of Chidi

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

i hope they free vicki from the cocoon to build up their heist team. also i dunno about track but i could see them working to reach the portal until the finale when there is a twist about the portal. Next season resolves that and they make it and the finale reveals the judge or whomever. the judge orders them to do something like convert demons or whatever and that gives them a season to play off characters like shaun and vicki somemore. they have burned through poo poo pretty fast though so who knows where the show is going.

The writing team is among my favorite tweeters who all seem wise im sure they will nail it.

I want The Good Place to go on forever, but also in a way I hope that they are planning to wrap it up in the next couple of years.

Brooklyn 99 & Parks And Rec could go on semi-indefinitely because despite character developments the overall structure of the shows was/is fairly set in stone.

The Good Place has a real sense of everything can change and I worry that if it goes on too long it will either lose that, or the changes will lose any impact and the show will just start meandering.

I'd be happy with one more season. It's a nice compromise between going on a long time and ending on a high note without meandering.

I love this show but it would be infinitely better on a streaming service where they could play with runtimes and they wouldn’t have so many cliffhangers. Parks and B99 are fine on weekly television but if Mike Schur’s next project is anything like this, I hope he considers Netflix/Amazon/Hulu instead because I think he could do a lot there.

Schur has a deal with NBC which means they have first crack at anything he makes. He's currently developing a sitcom with Shea Serrano, based on Shea's life, so there's that to look forward too.
