She had me at "We're going to just jab needles in your brain, and you'll be awake the whole time." So good!


This is exactly how an actual neurobiologist would act.

Chidi was so indecisive because he did want to be a good and ethical person, but as we know the road to hell is paved with good intentions... Just a little more literally in his case.

That said, I don't think Chidi was a bad guy, but he definitely wasn't good either.

I dunno. I feel like he has a clear mental illness that goes beyond merely choosing to be indecisive. We see a lot of examples of how much pain it brings him throughout his life and he's still unable to alter his behavior. Can we really attach a moral value to that? Perhaps it could be said that him not seeking therapy for it was immoral, but I don't know that that deserves eternal damnation.

Well Og is a semi-divine being so I’m sure he’s getting in just fine, if he ever actually dies.

Enkidel is most definitely going to the Bad Place.

Well, someone fought to keep Mindy St. Claire out of the bad place, so completely abandoned seems off the table.

Does real world chronology have anything to do with afterlife chronology though? The Jeremy Bearimy effect means Mindy could've gone to the medium place before heaven was abandoned.

Buried among Michael's lies in season 1 was the probably true fact that you needed an insane amount of points to get in, and that even a lot of people you'd think would get in, didn't. Of course, we know now there are bigger reasons for that, but those factoids he dropped on Eleanor could easily have been rooted in the truth, that the point requirement is unreasonably high.

And here's Schur on the matter:

So basically the probability of getting enough points to get into the good place decreases inversely to the global population. E.G. if there are 5 billion people on Earth versus 500,000, you have to improve the lives of thousands of people instead of say, hundreds.

Hell, tear away the whole idea thus is an afterlife. Why the gently caress should this be 'after' life? This should be the true human civilisation, a hundred billion people living in a post-scarcity infinite world with powers beyond comprehension where time bends and turns! This is the land for philosopher kings, creativity and art beyond measure! Our time on earth should be nothing but childhood, an embryonic phase before we ascend to join the real humanity!

STORM AND CONQUER HEAVEN AND BUILD OUR KINGDOM ON THE RUINS

Someone in this thread pimped Superstore and it's great and I've nearly burned my way through it. So what else is good and irreverent and a bit weird?

I wouldn't recommend this one personally. I dropped it in the middle of the latest season because I realized that I hated pretty much every character and didn't enjoy watching any of them. They're all kinda poo poo people, but aren't written in a fun way.
