Hooray it's out on hulu :toot:

- I already saw the first scene, but it's still great.
- Of course Eleanor pronounces it "jiff" :argh:

- what the hell is that accent, Ted Danson - relatedly, Janet can lie
- SHAWN! :neckbeard:

- Okay I like Simone.
- this episode is moving hilariously fast, I love it
- Michael's really good at the sleazy scam artist, surprisingly
- less good at fake human names
- Jason is still perfectly conveying the atmosphere of Jacksonville
- TREVOR!? :stare:

If Janet doesn't spend sometime next to the giant fuckoff magnets in that mri machine I don't what the show is good for.

You're an awful person for wanting Janet to be hospitalized for magnet poisoning.

and also you are 100% correct

I think that without most of the people in charge realizing it yet, this whole experiment with these four humans just keeps snowballing and has the potential to upend the entire way the afterlife functions. Sean is doing what he's doing, not out of official capacity, but because he personally can't stand that they got away, and now they're interfering on Earth in a way that (presumably) isn't allowed.

Very excited to see where this all goes.

Sean knocked it out of the park this episode.

although I wish we knew how he got out of the unmarked catacomb room he was hoping to extrajudicially imprison Michael in

I think a big clue in that direction was the line "we torture 30 billion humans, who cares about these four?"

Incidentally, the rough estimate of all humans who have ever lived is a bit north of 100 billion.

And since when has this show played fast and loose with time?

Harrow posted:

I think he still struggles to be good himself. This whole episode has him doing some very ethically dubious things, up to and including considering arson. He cares deeply about these four specific humans, but his default is still to lie and cheat.

the arson thing was a great gag even though it was immediately overshadowed

Then there's probably no point in showing it, and probably no way to show much of it without it being a letdown anyway. I think this is a big part of why it seems like fiction often features detailed descriptions of Hell while leaving Heaven rather vague or mysterious.

Edit: watch the gang wind up in the Good Place by act two next week just to make this post look dumb.

She's probably still just a regular scientist, but we don't know a lot about her own ethics. It's possible that down the road, she might want to do some experiment a la Milgram that isn't ethical, and it gives the group reason for pause.

Especially if she gets her hands on fully operational Janet capabilities. :getin:

I'm pretty sure that's how they're gonna play it, yeah. They'll plead their case in front of the judge (again) and there'll be no precedent and she'll be really conflicted and that's how we start off next season.

That was easily, by far, the funniest Chidi has been since the show began. I really hope they continue writing him stuff like that.

part of why it's funny is admittedly that he's generally been pretty staid most of the time

Hitting the report button is a conflict of virtue ethics (not wanting to be a snitch) and shared ethical responsibility (making sure as few people as possible see that image)

tarlibone posted:

I agree. It's just that ever since that comment was made, the assumption seems to be that whoever it was wanted to see Janet in that outfit because it was sexy, and it's misogynist to want to see women in sexy outfits (or something like that). Is it possible the OP just meant that it was a funny costume, and that is the reason why they wanted to see her in it more often? I ask because I didn't find the outfit sexy. I don't think it was ugly or anything, but it didn't strike me as fetishized (especially in terms of infantilism fetish), sexy, or even particularly attractive. It was just a goofy getup. Serious person + goofy outfit = comedy gold.

As the poster who initiated this sequence of events: I was uncomfortable with the moderate level of objectification involved with the outfit (as a midriff-baring waitress outfit in a restaurant satirizing all the worst things about America and its restaurants) but this isn't a bad post either.

that said I don't regret instigating a serious discussion of the Daisy Duke archetype

also i really, really enjoyed Tahani's acting this time round

there's probably a good Tahani With Axe avatar shot somewhere, although I really love my Michael Cohen av

I think we're just supposed to accept that their version of Earth is a very wacky one. I mean, go back and listen to all of the things Jason says about Jacksonville in seasons 1 and 2. He says some outlandish poo poo that we're never really led to believe is incorrect. Most of what we're seeing this season is totally in line with Jason attending Lynyrd Skynyrd High School, a school that consists of a bunch of tugboats lashed together in a junkyard and where most of the classes are just selling dirty magazines door-to-door.

I thought they ran that "everything in Australia is <something> Nemo" joke into the ground, though. C'mon, you can do more Australia jokes than that.

nothing about any of this is inconsistent with our Jacksonville though

Bulls are useful to people that don't own tractors and cows are sacred to Hindus. It is flat-out illegal to slaughter cows in much of India, up to life in prison in some states, and that's if you're lucky enough to be arrested instead of beaten to death by an angry mob.

Remember that the Jains are a religion, not just radical utilitarians, so when they talk about milk and eggs they sometimes talk like this:

Other Jains will argue that it's wrong to eat eggs because it involves stealing from the chicken, but there are definitely Jains that eat eggs precisely for the reason you outlined, especially if they raise the chickens themselves or otherwise know they are treated well. It's like how bringing up honey in a group of vegans will trigger a brawl with the utilitarian vegans defending the consumption of honey and the deontological vegans arguing that it's wrong to steal honey from bees.

what about the virtue vegans, who hold that it's okay as long as you wish the best for the bees

Mameluke posted:

So is it something like the context of your actions is important as well? You're judged in relation to the maximum possible number of people you can help, and a globally interconnected world means that nobody can reach that number? Whereas a farrier in 6th-century France could give one set of free horseshoes to all the farmers in his 5 mile-wide world and be assured entry for having helped a large percentage of all people he could know?

My other thought is that humanity in general was tainted by the mass genocide and violence that the Columbian Exchange prompted, but I don't know about that.

I think the first paragraph here is probably the winner.

I think the best way to deal with Shawn at this point as a finale thing would be him being demoted to the accountants office, no longer able to actively torture people, just being forced to sift through weird sex things under the new structure. That would be his hell. Just to rub it in, make Vicky his manager as a direct assistant to Stephen Merchant.

that reminds me, the delivery on "Can I have a paperclip?" "What are you going to do with it?" was amazing
