I mainlined the first season over the summer, loved it, but didn't realize it had started up again and had two episodes to come back to. The extent that this show races through plot lines that could fill an entire series of another show is incredible, but even more so that it's able to maintain such a level of quality. It's a sitcom plotted like a good prestige drama. And it's loving hilarious. I'm a sucker for jokes with out of context clips of stories we never get to see (30 Rock had some great cutaway gags with that premise), so the entire montage from the last episode was cracking me up. The entire cast is great, and Kristen Bell in particular is a goddamn treasure. That Steve Austin line had some standout delivery.

Get your mind out of the gutter! I was talking about my testicles. Ernie. posted:Why can the team even go to the medium place? If they have no such ability to go to the good place, why even have the option of escape?

"All humans are aware of death. So we're all a little bit sad all the time. That's just the deal." This show...

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:"Doctor Chidi, my daddy needed a heart transplant. Did you save his life? He was working then a really bad man ran him over with a trolley." Also nice to see the trolley problem stated correctly after Kimmy Schmidt got it wrong.

Basically (as I recall) they stated it as "you have to steer a trolley to kill one person or five", missing the part - and the whole point of the dilemma - that the five are killed through inaction.

Snak posted:"There's a cat driving a trolley. The windows of the trolley are blacked out so no one can see in, but the cat can see out using a video screen. There's a vial of poison in the trolley that breaks at a random time. Since we can't see into the trolley, the cat is both alive and dead right up until it pulls a lever to divert the path of the trolley onto a track with only one person on it. If it does not pull the lever, the 5 people on the track ahead will die. 5 people die, either the cat was dead, or it's a dick. It's impossible to tell. So the 5 people are in a quantum state of having been killed through inaction and in a freak accident until we open the trolley and observe whether the cat was dead at the time." (Speaking of which, was this episode the first confirmation we had that the points system actually works roughly the way it was described in S1?)

In the conversation about Michael's essay on Les Miserables, Michael talked about the points you lose for stealing bread/being French.

We've seen him speaking English to his Australian friend with the boots before, and it was with his usual accent.
