Gaz-L posted:I'm almost wondering if Michael's real innovation is moving away from punishment to rehabilitation. All 4 of his charges are 'medium' people, but for different reasons. Tahani did good things for bad reasons, Chidi was so concerned with having the right reason to do things that he was paralysed, Eleanor was basically apathetic and selfish and Jason is ignorant but in an odd way innocent.

Regy Rusty posted:Eleanor was an rear end in a top hat to people but it's also pretty understandable how she turned out that way considering how her parents treated her.

MiddleOne posted:While Eleanor and Jason both did horrible and/or selfish things to strangers at least they were doing it to strangers. To put things in perspective, Tahani devoted her entire life to upstaging her sister. Chidi is even worse because he hurt everyone who cared and loved for him and to no ones benefit. It's weird that you're specifically counting intent for one of them and ignoring it for the other. Tahani may have had bad reasons but she did good things. Whereas Chidi may have done bad things but he never intended any harm. And I'm not convinced that doing bad things to a stranger is actually any better (or worse) than doing them to someone you know.

Good Citizen posted:It's an actions-based point system that doesn't count any positive actions done for selfish reasons. The show is pretty explicit about it Did we ever get that information from anyone trustworthy though? I don't think we have any way of knowing what the real test is.

This was the best episode.DurosKlav posted:He's terrible, he plays the same drat character on everything and it gets old SOOOOOO drat quickly. The moment he showed up with his back to the camera I thought "oh no please dont let that be Jason Mantzoukas." and audibly groaned when he turned around. I like him in things like the How did this get made podcast but his tv roles are so annoying. I guess I'm in the minority though.

sticklefifer posted:She was a main featured player on SNL with Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Tracy Morgan, Chris Parnell, Molly Shannon, Will Forte, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, etc., and has had roles in a bunch of their projects. So unless you saw absolutely no SNL or related film & TV in the past almost 20 years, I don't know what to tell you. I have never in my life seen a single episode of SNL. I'm only vaguely aware of what it even is. A topical sketch show? I don't think it's ever been on Australian TV and all I ever hear people say about it is that it "used to be funny".

I think the season should have ended one episode earlier. That would have been a good cliffhanger moment and this episode would have made a good start to season 3.sticklefifer posted:I don't know why you were "disappointed" then, because it's not American TV's fault that an Australian doesn't know who American TV actors are. CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:People who say a show "used to be funny" also sometimes yell at kids to get off their lawn, and also have stories about, when they were your age, walking uphill both ways in the snow to, I don't know, play with a hoop and stick or a cup and ball. Music has also remained bad since just after the time they went to college/university or thereabouts. fruit on the bottom posted:I’ll say 4 episodes. One for everyone else and then one to wrap it up. Mulva posted:There's no downside to drug abuse or gluttony or making a bunch of imaginary people to brutally torture for that matter. They live in a post-morality existence. Perhaps a Bad Place person can find a way to be Good, but there isn't really any easy to imagine outlet for a Good Place person to be bad.

ashpanash posted:I still don't know what they do if someone in the afterlife is actually named "Janet" The Janets aren't really named Janet. That's just what Eleanor hears. Just like how she hears everything in English regardless of what language is actually being spoken.
