ARGH this episode was awesome but Hulu has a habit of cutting off the last 5-10 seconds of the episode, what happened after Michael told Janet to say they were in?

I might be the only person who notices this, but they named all the people they gave money too. Waomi Natts, Nicole Mankid, Eeeth Kurban, it's as bad/good as the puns. I know Brooklyn 99 does it sometime too, so it must be a Mike Schur show thing.

I hope "Jeremy Bearimy" supplants "Timey Wimey" as the idiom of choice when expressing confusion about how time travel works.

I'll admit I wasn't the biggest fan of last episode (I genuinely wanted to see the study and how the gang were going to interact this time around without bad place baggage) but this episode completely salvaged this season and I'm so stoked to see what happens next now that everyone is on the same page.

eke out posted:need a gif of shirtless chidi swiping spam into his basket Fun Fact. A guy wandering around a supermarket shirtless is perfectly acceptable here in Australia. I work retail and I see at least a couple a day. So Chidi isn't being weird at all by our standards; and he certainly wouldn't be told he can't be in the store without a shirt. It's also very common for people to not bother wearing shoes. I'm a little disappointed though that they went to the trouble of using actual Australian currency for the scene in the bar with the wallet but then they couldn't be bothered making at least a small effort to make that supermarket look like it belongs in Australia.

Harrow posted:So... this all counts for points, right? They all know that none of this can save them from the Bad Place so they’re doing all of this with no expectation of reward. They're gonna get reverse Unexpected Hanging Paradoxed. By believing they were doomed, and being good anyway, they very clearly count as "Good". I could also see the series ending with the lot of them being drafted to become the bureaucratic version of angels, as a compromise.

This show is always an exercise in writing yourself into a corner and then being a goddamn magician about getting yourself out of it, but this really feels like the final arc. The logical end to this story as it's been told so far is that The Brainy Bunch does good for the rest of the season despite knowing they'll never get in the good place, a good place representative reading the manifesto, and them being let into the good place. Series over. But they're going to impress me, as they always do, by doing something else.

I don't know whether it was actually off-model or something, but I swear our currency looked almost like fake money most of the time it showed up, especially when Jason was handing it out. Randomly-coloured notes with a big number in one corner? Don't be ridiculous. Also either I've got used to the accents or they were hiring more actual Australians, I'm sure I recognised one or two of them. (fake edit: not who I thought he was but yep)

Two things: 1. It occurs to me that Megan Amram is the credited writer on almost all of my favorite episodes of this series so someone get her that goddamn Emmy already. 2. I was a little worried about the series' ratings--it's dipping below last season, which was lower than the first season--but then I took a look at Brooklyn Nine-Nine's ratings, which were something like 1 to 2 million fewer viewers than The Good Place per episode, and remembered that NBC actively picked that show up for more episodes. So I'm pretty confident The Good Place will get as many seasons as it needs. Really, NBC has a history of being pretty nice to its sitcom lineup. They kept 30 Rock around for a super long time and probably gave Community more second chances than it really warranted towards the end there. LividLiquid posted:This show is always an exercise in writing yourself into a corner and then being a goddamn magician about getting yourself out of it, but this really feels like the final arc. The last season felt like the final arc, too, with them charging straight into the actual Bad Place to argue their case in front of the Judge. I can think of at least one way for another arc to come out of this (something having to do with actually trying to disrupt the unjust afterlife system) but I haven't been able to successfully predict anything this show has done yet so I'm not exactly confident I've got it this time, either.

What I'm wondering about is that it seems inevitable that at some point we'll go back to the afterlife. But I can't see the show killing them again or showing them live to old age. My guess is there's gonna be cause to infiltrate the afterlife through Michael's door and really start messing things up.

I think it's either that, or we do get some sort of "the rest of their lives" montage at some point. But Michael does still have the key, and that manifesto is just sitting there waiting to be discovered by someone, so poo poo could go pretty far off the rails. Also, side note, but the title of the next episode has me real excited: "The Ballad of Donkey Doug"

Ok so the issue I have with Jeremy Bearimy is that there have been previous references to time in the afterlife. Chet says Trent left partial decapitations 800 years ago and that they are training for when the Girls Gone Wild dude gets there. I mean I know the real answer is "don't worry about it" but... yknow.

If I'm gonna take this too seriously: Afterlife beings still seem to perceive a subjective passage of time and it appears that they measure that using Earth time, even when talking to other afterlife beings. Even dead humans still experience time in a linear fashion, even if that's not actually how the timeline of the universe they're in works. Anyway I'm going to stop myself before I write a treatise on the law of Jeremy Bearimy Harrow fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Oct 19, 2018 |

This is the rare show where I just don't even want to speculate out loud (or on a forum) all that much, weirdly. It just feels like I'm definitely going to be wrong. It's kinda fun. I have a few hypotheses about what could happen that a) pays off this plot in a satisfying way and b) propels the show forward rather than ending it (what if Eleanor figured out the loophole and gets everyone else into the Good Place but not herself, and the others voluntarily leave it to save her? What if the system doesn't allow for this loophole but it provides leverage to start a revolution in the afterlife? What if...), but I also know there's basically no way I've thought of even most of the possibilities.

I'll admit that before last night I was really feeling Season 3. It's still the best show on television but I felt like it wasn't quite up to the standards of the first two seasons. I think last night's episode was as good or better than anything that came before and I can't wait to see where they go from here.
