I hope Season 3 is about the 5 of them being given one last chance to live on Earth (or a simulacrum of "Earth" created by the Bad Place Judge) as roommates, and they have to teach Michael how to be Human.

That sounds like a terrible sitcom.

Yeah, that's exactly why I want it to happen, because I know they wouldn't play it straight for more than a single act before it turned into a deconstruction of the form.

The only thing that i don't like is that nobody on the show has pointed out the obvious, the requirements to get into the Good Place are so stringent that there is no way that any of the four characters stand a chance of getting in.

Michael is just taking them on an excruciating journey to a fake judge who will declare that they’re all eligible for the good place. And then Michael evil giggles again and says, with faux incredulity and a shrug, “What?” as the four stare at him in disbelief.

I think since Michael actually did reset them 800 times, it's unlikely he's loving with this iteration in particular.

He could have decided to try something different just out of desperation. It'd be about the only way Sean wouldn't retire him, if he also managed to gently caress with the Good Place. I mean, giving someone hope that they desperately scramble for something, yanking it out from under them over and over again sounds like torture to me.

Yeah that could work. Haven't the creators said not to expect any more big "everything you know is wrong" twists?

QB for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Like the Jaguars, he's somehow good at football despite being bad at football.

Maybe him and Janet and/or Vicky thinking they’re human after a brain wipe. The rest of the cast retaining some memory and admining a new fake good place?

My thought is that the 4 get approved for the good place by the judge, but they’re told they need to leave micheal behind. But now he’s their friend so they can’t leave him and this is proposed as their way to possibly get him in.

It’s the best way I can think to reset the table for a full new season, but the writers probably have something weirder/better in mind

Chidi also volunteers to go as a human because someone needs to teach the ethics. Eleanor follows him in last minute hoping they end up together this time

Jason and Tahani are the only ones left to admin and gently caress it up because they’re incompetent.

Maybe Doug Forcett is God. Or an honorary higher-up in the afterlife for guessing so much of it on Earth.
