Gaz-L posted:That's honestly probably why that line's there. Either side can take it as proof that Eleanor's gotten better or is still trash. The line is there to prove that Eleanor is still a human trashfire even while she makes an effort to be a good person.

Jet Jaguar posted:Listened to the podcast just now and I really want to hear that supercut of "Shut up, Glen."  imo Chidi and Eleanor work way better as best buds and there is zero romantic chemistry between the actors.

My favourite thing about the "It's devastating. You're devastated right now." is that it strongly implies that Michael was devastated when Eleanor used it on him.

before this episode: "almost everyone in the main cast of this show is extremely attractive except ted danson because he's too old and chidi who is good looking but nothing amazing" after this episode "chidi   "

I mean it's possible for an outfit to be attractive without being fetishized.

Gaz-L posted:Previous episodes kind of felt like it was more going for the 'Tahani's so pretty even straight girls are into her'. Sort of like Leslie's infatuation with Ann on P&R. This is the first time Eleanor being into women was brought up outside that context and it just came off to me like the writers wanting to make it explicit that she is queer. I mean the Tahani stuff came off as pretty explicit that she was bi to me.

For the first few episodes of this season I really enjoyed them but had this worrying feeling the show didn't seem to have a direction it was going. The past two episodes have alleviated that worry. I mean I still have no idea what direction it's going, but I feel more confident that the writers do, and that makes me feel better.

Guy A. Person posted:We only know that knowing about the Good Place specifically negates any points you get past that point. I gotta think that's a special case, unless it's true that only a handful of super elite people get into the Good Place, but I kind of figured that was at least partially Bad Place propaganda. We don't know that at all though. Michael and Janet are just assuming that if they know about the system then their good deeds will always be corrupted by the desire to go to the Good Place, but I'm guessing that if they do good while under the impression that they're going to the Bad Place regardless then they are doing good things for the sake of goodness and benefiting others so they'll still be earning points.

Unless she's just doing good because it felt nice to make a man and his talentless daughter happy.

Gaz-L posted:That's assuming Michael based that on a real person and it wasn't just an elaborate insult to Jason. I feel like Michael operates under the "best lies involve truth mixed in" policy, so I don't think he lied about the actual system. After all, it's confirmed that his description of retirement was 100% accurate.

I don't think anyone "changed" it and that's the problem, the point system hasn't evolved to reflect the modern world.
