Straight White Shark posted:a contradiction in terms, by definition all goons have wasted ACTUALLY if you're old enough, becoming a goon was free. So, pretty good analogy with the show.

Seems a some corners of the net are mad about the show ending next season. would I have liked 5 seasons for them to have slightly more time? Likely. Am I happy they know up from they have 1 season left and we always knew they had 4-5ish seasons planned out from the start? yup.

Re-watching season 1 until season 3 comes out on hulu or netflix. I never noticed before, but Elanor and Chidi's dynamic is really really cute.

Argue posted:Buried among Michael's lies in season 1 was the probably true fact that you needed an insane amount of points to get in, and that even a lot of people you'd think would get in, didn't. Of course, we know now there are bigger reasons for that, but those factoids he dropped on Eleanor could easily have been rooted in the truth, that the point requirement is unreasonably high. Ugh, the system was abhorrent even before it totally broke. So getting tortured forever for not actively doing enough good if you lived a quiet life by yourself and did no harm to anyone was the intended expected outcome. But then that fits in with the fact that unintentional bad you didn't know about counts against you, but good without pure motivation doesn't count for you. The whole thing has always been stacked for maximising torture. Burn this mother to the ground. Throw Gen into the bad place, the complicit monster.

Hell, tear away the whole idea thus is an afterlife. Why the gently caress should this be 'after' life? This should be the true human civilisation, a hundred billion people living in a post-scarcity infinite world with powers beyond comprehension where time bends and turns! This is the land for philosopher kings, creativity and art beyond measure! Our time on earth should be nothing but childhood, an embryonic phase before we ascend to join the real humanity!

There Bias Two posted:Somebody's been reading K6BD... I mean yeah a little bit. I do genuinely think though when watching the show that there's no good reason that the state of existence of the good place should be treated as an afterlife, instead of just the next stage of the human lifecycle. It made sense back when they thought that humans in the good place couldn't change and grow, but now we know they can it should be a grand civilization instead of a forced retirement village. This whole current concept seems like it's been been very artificially enforced on it by the various beings with power. Ah well, at the rate Janet's going she'll be probably be able to rebuild the whole thing from the ground up by the end of it, so let's see where it goes.

Now I’m thinking of The City of the Saved from Doctor Who spin-off, Faction Paradox. A mindshatteringly giant city (roughly galaxy-sized) held in a space just after the Big Crunch that contains the resurrected forms of everyone who ever lived.

MikeJF posted:I mean yeah a little bit. The "eternal punishment for temporary sins" problem is an aspect of the broader paradox that, going by the literal understanding of an eternal afterlife, you have a finite life which represents an insigificant part of your infinite existence, and so the weight your mortal life should have on your afterlife risks falling into either: -The disproportionate payoff presented on the show, where finite action = infinitely long consequences, your life casting this impossibly huge shadow over the rest of your "true" existence, or -The perspective Michael's advocating for, where there's always an eternally valid opportunity to grow and change, which raises the question of what meaningful distinction there is between life and afterlife to begin with. You could even come to the perverse conclusion that  as far as the morality of your present life is concerned since, hey, you'll always have time to redeem yourself later, right?

I wonder if they were borrowing a bit when they came up with Testimony in the last Doctor Who christmas special. Which incidentally I loved so much. Humanity getting on a few billion years, going 'well, there doesn't seem to be an afterlife, so gently caress it, we'll use time travel and mind-scanning tech and retroactively make one.

Given how easily they move between realms it would be hilarious if season 4 revealed that there really was no afterlife - what we have seen are Midgard, Asgard and Helheim. They realise it when they accidentally end up in Alfheim and even the Good Place people get annoyed by the elves. It's secret norse mythology.

I wouldn't recommend this one personally. I dropped it in the middle of the latest season because I realized that I hated pretty much every character and didn't enjoy watching any of them. They're all kinda poo poo people, but aren't written in a fun way.
