After Janet said she was gonna' barf up a quasar I realized, in a moment of "this is the bad place" epiphany, that she might be god. If not always, then now. So glad to be wrong, because every Janet uniting was so much cooler than my theory.

Maybe the best Jason episode? He thinks Tahani's accent is a speech impediment!

What did the one Janet say right before the commercial break? I rewound it several times and I just can't catch it. And of course there is no closed captioning.

This would be the doom for all humanity, but at the last minute Bad Janet, who will have read Michael and Janet's book, will Voltron together with Janet, forming a Mega-Janet that will overturn the entire system.

Chidi is going to have the mother of all stomach aches in just a second. The poor guy. Janet sending just pictures of otters to the group text was so good.

Making war on heaven to overthrow an unjust regime is and has always been the logical endpoint of this series and I am so loving down for it

The Moby joke was priceless. It's quick lines like that which require you to pay attention to this show. You can't have it on in the background or you'll miss so much.

I like that of course the Judge, when making a decision between the points being over simple or life being over complicated picks the latter as the big problem. She wants an easy fix, although all that would happen is the new life would get complicated again and need another reboot. She's too invested in the points system to let it go as it's all she knows, and she's too lazy to do the work to fix it. Humanity was always going to be saved in spite of Jen, not with any help from her.

PostNouveau posted:Maybe the best Jason episode? Alright, I'll do it. Yeah a pretty drat good Jason episode this week. I think he's definitely had some lines that were insanely funny in some other episodes though that top this one. And good theory there Bone6, pretty much nailed it there.

Jason's mom gave birth to him while doing a cannonball. That great. Jason's mom died to cancer. That's sad. His delivery is just so positive though. It's great.

McCloud posted:Chidi and Jason are both ridiculously attractive, good lord I love that they have a canon explanation for why Chidi is so jacked. In all honesty the real downfall of the original Bad Place experiment was probably that they put 4 ridiculously hot people together supervised by a hot not-a-girl not-a-robot. Of course they're all going to fall for each other, good lord.

BioEnchanted posted:Humanity was always going to be saved in spite of Jen, not with any help from her. ![]() Great episode. There was a moment I was sure Michael would bring up how he has become better, but no, I guessed wrong again. The Good Place folk are a bit one-note! Mindy would have gone nuts if she'd actually made it there. (I guess she was off spending time with Derek during this episode...?)

Transfer the clicker to the void of a Janet she's already checked while she's in the void of one of the other Janets.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Transfer the clicker to the void of a Janet she's already checked while she's in the void of one of the other Janets. They can't. That's why the judge is marblizing them after checking each void, and I don't think Janets can move items into another Janet's void.

Oh Bad Janet was complaining about the bad reception at the start because she knew she might need to use the group text to tell all the other Janets to come back them up if things went south.

I like Shawn getting bullied by Bad Janet. That probably doesn't happen often. "You've got to be kidding me!" "Get over yourself, dork...."

Idle speculation based on a philosopher and philosophical concept that got name dropped during interviews with Schur: Rawls' Veil of Ignorance Expanded below: One of the things Rawls is known for is a philosophical concept known as the "Veil of Ignorance". It asks a decision-maker to make a choice about a social or moral issue and assumes that they have enough information to know the consequences of their possible decisions for everyone but would not know, or would not take into account, which person they are. The theory contends that not knowing one's ultimate position in society would lead to the creation of a just system, as the decision-maker would not want to make decisions which benefit a certain group at the expense of another, because the decision-maker could theoretically end up in either group. They are going to have to set up a new system, but they can't know where they are going to end up. They could get split up. Not sure if I should spoil that, but I'll err on the side of caution since it's based on outside info.

Man that was a good episode. It hit all the stuff I love about this show - some top-notch jokes, great heart and fun twists. Plus an army of Janets! Can't wait to see what comes next.
