Just finished binging season 3 since it hit Netflix. What a loving gut punch of a finale, Jesus Christ.

Imagine if this show got cancelled in season 1, with that twist ending. That would be the ultimate gut punch.

That would have been early enough that it would have worked as an extendedTwilight Zone episode. Cancelling it at any point after that (them pretending to go along with it, returning to earth, running their own good place) would have felt like there were more plot threads left dangling, and that would have been much worse.

I also just caught up on S3 on Netflix. I liked the season overall and am looking forward to S4, but Chidi/Eleanor has tipped over into full on annoying for me. Sitcom romances are at best tedious, and doubly so when you do memory wipes and retread the same 'will they ever get together' routines. But even more than that, I think the two characters are so much better/funnier when they aren't mooning at each other. Chidi being exasperated at what a terrible person she is just works so well for this material.

The one thing you can expect from this show is that it goes through more subplots in a few episodes than some do in an entire series

They should just be really good mates, Eleanor should be with Tahani.

Yeah the will they/won't they routine is generally the worst part of most sitcoms, especially when it's the 'main' characters that are doing it. Eleanor/Chidi, Ross/Rachel, Ted/Robin, etc. Emotionally healthy friendships between exes can be a thing!

now I'm wondering what a chidi-jason pairing would be like. Honestly it wouldn't be the worst combination...

Michael gives them Alpha Centauri, Chidi spends several centuries mapping out everyone's quotes to decide who is the most moral faction.

His faction gets a large population, which means he provides food and security for the greatest number of people, safely imprisoned in brutal serfdom in his underground bases. (What, you're going to argue that providing luxuries to a few people is better than keeping a large number of people alive?) And he also created genejacks, who cannot feel pain or desire anything but the complete fulfillment they get from their labor. Ethics A-plus right there. (This is why everyone hates moral philosophy professors.)

Jason would be very good for Chidi. I think he would push Chidi into action but in a good way. He's the scarecrow, all heart no brain, and Chidi is the tin man, all brain no heart. Eleanor is Dorothy and Tahani is the cowardly lion...

My biggest concern for the final season is the quality of the writing suffering with so many new characters.

This aired last night in the Carson Daly timeslot. I don't know why NBC didn't just put the whole thing online, making me have to capture it at 12:53 AM.

There's going to be a 6 'webisode' series online about how the Bad Place selected the 4 dingdongs for the experiment. The first one is already up on the EW's site exclusively and I didn't see it anywhere on youtube. Find it here along with an article. Should be good.

Here's to hoping Megan Amram wrote it so maybe she can get an Emmy that way. Or, best case scenario, she didn't write it and loses to it next year.
