Doltos posted:I've driven through Jacksonville and it's just a big sprawling city. Half of it seems empty or like another city was tacked on to it. Main cities in Florida all seem to follow the same pattern as Beach ---> Waterfront ----> Ghettos ----> Suburbs just like other port cities. The city so nice, the named it Jacksonville

Btw if the Bad Place only managed to make a portal now, how did Trevor get down there earlier? I don't remember if he mentions how he ended up on Earth and that episode isn't on Hulu anymore

But Michael has the key now so that door is unusable.

I assume he left the key with the doorman, as well, and expected to hitch a ride back with Michael? Whatever, it's kind of a plot hole, I won't think too hard about it.

That's not a plot hole. The doorman uses the key to open the door and gives you a button to press when you're ready to come back. Until he gave Michael the key for his escape, no one but the doorman was allowed to touch it.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:For real I'd love to hear all the obvious references to Pandamonium bc I'm an English lit major and I got it but I wouldn't expect most people to get it bc yes it is obscure to normal people You're right, the really obscure reference would be Pandamonium.  Pandemonium may be something that people might not know directly as "a word coined by John Milton for the capitol city of Hell" but as Wiki shows it's used a lot in pop culture. I first heard it as a kid because there was an Avengers villain named Master Pandemonium. It's the name of a section of the original Doom video game where you're in Hell. I feel like it's used a lot, often in reference to Hell/demons. It's in like a million song lyrics. Unless the issue is "do people realize that Pandemonium is John Milton's coinage for a specific part of Hell" then sure, maybe that is kind of obscure.

well yeah, I wouldn't argue its not commonly known as a synonym for "chaos" but the reference to it being literally hell is p uniquely a Milton reference. The Doom reference is a nice common reference to it but I didn't even pick that up when I played it as a kid so

The Doom reference is a nice common reference to it but I didn't even pick that up when I played it as a kid so Granted, D&D isn't exactly hugely popular but it is one of the layers of Hell in Dungeons and Dragons, specifically the chaotic one.

And the final act of Diablo II you act out of the Pandemonium Fortress, and Diablo II was probably as mainstream as games got in the late nineties.

The bit where Eleanor talks about how this could all be a test for Michael is either meta commentary or a jab at all those people who come up with the same theory, right?

her freaking out read to me like someone overthinking some philosophical theories. like, if you're a brain in a jar, and you realize this, how do you not know that you're just being tricked into being a brain in a jar and etc. etc. getting sucked into inception style loops about thought experiments is panicky behavior and a good remedy is to have someone toss water at you

The word pandemonium, while Milton coined it, has been in common use in English for centuries.
