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. But on the other hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t6JfL47EW0&t=18s Also, you should re-watch season 1. Eleanor realized herself that she couldn't keep running with that excuse towards the end of the season.

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.

So It Goes posted:But it's called the good place not the exceptionally great place. A truly just god would have at least 5 tiers of places to have better sorting of this stuff. Is it really called 'The Good Place' though? Back in S01E13 that was just the title Michael gave to his proposal. We don't even necessarily know that there is such a thing as a good place, we just know that there are radically different variants of Janet and that Michael & CO aren't shaping them.

I think we can take for granted that anything Michael says after the jig is up is 100% true since he knows he's just going to wipe their minds anyway.

Supercar Gautier posted:I haven't seen The League, but In Parks & Rec he plays a smug entrepreneur, in B99 he plays an intensely aggressive loose cannon, and in Good Place he's playing a giddy babyman to whom everything is new and a delight. I don't really think they're the same or that he plays them the same. They're all virtually identical performanes

Otherkinsey Scale posted:: She mentioned that she couldn't take their case because there was no paperwork or advocate. Because she's all knowing, she knew exactly when Janet and Michael would show up, so she came up with the tests basically just to amuse herself before the real trial. That's why the episode was named after the burrito, because they assumed it was the real thing before the real thing revealed itself. Please tell me this is real

DoctorWhat posted:Yeah Chidi is punished for being mentally ill. The Good Place/Bad Place system is hosed. The re-curing theme seems to be that if you can't exceed your circumstances then it's torture. Eleanor was shaped into a distrustful person incapable of caring about anyone by her parents, so by managing to empathize with others in spite of that she passed her test. In-between Jason's stupidity, Chidi's anxiety and Tahani's obsession with her parents recognition what they all have in common is that they are still unable, even when in full knowledge of their flaws, to be better. This is probably off since our case-data for people who have qualified so far is Eleanor and no one else.

Gaz-L posted:If you want a more straight reading, even Eleanor's test isn't really fair, because she's told she doesn't need to take one. She's directly lied to. Yes, her distrusting nature means she figures out that that IS the test, but it's the same trick Chidi gets. Jen doesn't SAY picking the wrong hat damns them all, but she knows he'll infer that. It's not really the same because it wasn't about sussing out that the premise was a lie. It was about seeing if Eleanor, someone who got damned for her inability to empathize with others, would go back on the promise she just made to the others that either they're all going or non of them are going. She sussed out fake-Chidi specifically because she rejected the easy way out which was the test. WampaLord posted:They were already eternally damned, this is the criteria for appealing that decision. Well yeah.
