Pizza is good if all the toppings coordinate with each other and go good with the crust. There are no other deciding factors.

So, since Mindy was real, what are the odds that part of Season 2 is Eleanor going to the Neutral Zone for some reason (torture-based errand?) and finding out that Mindy already knows her? I don't think Michael and Crew ever found out where Eleanor and Jason went, so they wouldn't suspect anything.

Given that Michael only has one more chance to make this work, I could also see the end of Season 2 being some sort of 'deal' being struck between Michael and the four. He pretends to psychologically torture them, while they pretend to be tortured. Flip the scam!

Chances seem pretty high The Middle Place will show up at least once, but then again, who knows. This show likes to buck the expected, and it seems pretty expected that Eleanor would go there and have a weird amnesia moment. But there could be some comedy in Eleanor going there for some reason early on, finding out the truth, setting herself up to go back over and over again, and then Michael has to keep erasing her memory every time she goes and comes back, oblivious to why she keeps getting her memory back.

Michael could cut a deal, but then that feels like it could paint them into a corner for the following season. Maybe a deal involving bringing in actual Good Place workers who "torture" them in a way that makes them better people (echoing the first season sort of), directly competing with the unknowing Bad Place workers, but only Michael knows about this and he amnesias the main four before this little contest begins. That could lead to a season of shenanigans.

They can go all sorts of directions with this, so really, who knows how out there they'll go. I wouldn't even say no to an "Office" parody episode of The Bad Place.

I think the show can only end in a couple of ways. One is they are trapped in the Bad Place for eternity, which would be theologically accurate but depressing; and the other would be if they manage to reach the actual Good Place and start an appeals process, to show that bad people can change themselves and earn a spot in the Good Place. The Bad Place would work on redeeming people moving forward instead of just eternal torture.

I mean, we know that Janet can hack the train and make it go where she wants, and it seems to me that if the train goes to the middle place, it can also go to the good place. So I expect an arc where they escape from the bad place and show up in the good place, and then probably actually cause some chaos, since they will be bad people loose in the good place. Like what Michael tricked them into thinking was happening in season 1, but for real.

edit: ^ I remember that commercial.

Well, yes, Michael is from The Bad Place, you've been paying attention.

Michael currently runs a bad place, but we don't really know if Architects normally always stick to one kind of Place, or if they design both Good and Bad places. What we saw was obviously just Bad Place design, but it would be funny if Eleanor ultimately ends up in a Good Place also designed by Michael (and with him living there as well somehow).

This isn't related to anything, but I loved the little bit in the flashback where Michael was inspired to create "The Good Place" by his coworker complaining about vanilla flavored antimatter coffee. That little lightbulb moment is great.

Michael and the other demons seem like dicks, so it doesn't really seem to fit that he or any of the others would be put in charge of actual Good Places.

That sounds like baby-coddling to me, but whatever, when you get to the afterlife and God (the Christian one, obviously) asks that one angel with the desk job who is always looking things up if your name appears in the Book of Life And Ketchup On A Hot Dog and it's not in there because you put ketchup on a hot dog because you are a literal baby... you'll be sorry, all right.

Sorry for eternity.

Or, maybe not, you'll go to the Bad Place and all they have for condiments there is ketchup. Maybe you'll be all right, who knows?

I guess the important thing is not to judge? Maybe. Not really sure where I'm going with this.

I have a smart adult cat, and the best way is to leave the bathroom door closed because it's getting scratched regardless if he knows it's there.

My cat used to chew on toilet paper after throwing up hairballs. This is the correct answer. It's nice to have one room in the house that hasn't been felined.

What if it is Michael who is really in the bad place, and it is the four humans who are torturing him.

After all, he had to watch Season 8 of Friends, he got introduced to Elmo, and had to read Chidi's manuscript.

I'm just saying. Maybe this is retirement for Michael.
