Apparently the Lenny Kravitz concert thing is because there was an incident when his pants broke and his dick came out.

I learned about that from The AV Club's annotated episode guide. I also learned from that, to my dismay, that Lenny Kravitz has some interesting piercings.

"French Pressing Nemo" is a good name for an Australian coffee shop, sure, but I feel they completely whiffed on the opportunity for "Grinding Nemo."

According to the podcast last week, the bank and grocery store in the show were also Nemo jokes, too.

Is it just me or was this episode much more direct than they've been before about Eleanor being bi? She very specifically says 'people' and Janet just says 'exes' when she's talking about ghosting, plus her obvious hitting on virtual Simone. And even her being kind of annoyed at how quickly Chidi dismissed the idea when she threw it out as an excuse he could use.

I don't think they've been indirect about it before, she was pretty explicit about her attraction to Tahani. Hell Tahani was even her soulmate in one of the iterations.

I'm wondering if Pillboi and Jason are actual brothers, since Pillboi and Donkey Doug apparently hang out a lot as well. Jacksonville was all around amazing and I'd love a Randy "Macho Man" Savage airport t-shirt. The planes swooping in and an outline of a wrestler swooping in with an elbow drop ruled. A big thing I like is that because they are all doomed, they aren't focusing on being better people. They are just focusing on saving people. So Eleanor will continue to be a garbage person in a lot of regards, and I find that a lot more entertaining/interesting than everyone attempting to be goody-two-shoes about everything.

I've really behind the idea of them trying to help others instead of improve themselves. It's fun to see this particular group of characters stop working on their various flaws because they don't matter anymore and switch to helping others and in some ways reverting to the behavior that got them sent to the bad place. I do miss the supernatural/wild effects stuff of the afterlife already, but as this episode showed they can basically do stuff very much in that vein with her VR tech. I also think there's some interesting ground to cover with Janet being able to get them out of basically any perilous situation they find themselves in, at least as long as it's just Earth-based. She could talk a police precinct or individual cops into letting people go, or whip up wild tech to accomplish whatever crazy thing is needed because she knows everything. If I had to guess, we're going to see them struggling to help more than a handful of people despite having access to Tahani's vast fortune and Janet and Michael's know-how. Then in the finale Michael gets desperate again and convinces Janet to set up a worldwide broadcast that contains proof that the Good Place and Bad Place are real, thus putting most of the planet on the same "can't get in because their motivations would be corrupt" footing as team cockroach. He'll try to force the system to change by exposing it to humanity at large. I could see that being a plan they all get behind as well, it depends on if they think there will be a particular reaction or change of events caused by it to justify risking the damnation of most of humanity. If it's not that exactly, I have to figure that the season ends with them having just pulled some kind of crazy stunt that's only possible because Janet and Michael are messing around on Earth, and whatever they're doing is causing too much of a ruckus to be ignored and the afterlife steps in to stop it in a major way.

Why did Chidi have to break up with Simone, and why can't Jason ever come back to visit Pillboi?

Phenotype posted:Why did Chidi have to break up with Simone, and why can't Jason ever come back to visit Pillboi? He has a huge problem with lying, as well as with withholding the truth. He'd probably eventually break and tell her, dooming her soul to eternity. Although honestly I would expect her to have pretty good point totals that I imagine nullifying her future point gathering would have just guaranteed her place in the Good Place.

Previous episodes kind of felt like it was more going for the 'Tahani's so pretty even straight girls are into her'. Sort of like Leslie's infatuation with Ann on P&R. This is the first time Eleanor being into women was brought up outside that context and it just came off to me like the writers wanting to make it explicit that she is queer.

Manny's just really, really good at putting this stuff together quickly.
