I really hope they don't lean into the love triangle stuff with Chidi - Eleanor and Simone were adorable together in the MRI both, and it's really nice just to see people being friends without any baggage

ApplesandOranges posted:This is like watching that episode of Friends where Joey tells Phoebe that there's no such thing as a selfless good deed. God I loving hate that episode. Of course there's no such thing as a selfless act if you define selfless in a way that excludes anything you make a choice to do! gently caress friends so much.

Phenotype posted:Okay, so what if I have just terrible, terrible urges, all the time. I hate just about everyone I meet and find faults in everything they do. If someone crosses me the slightest bit, even by accident, even if they're a good friend, I'll spend at least the next ten minutes thinking about how badly I want to kill them, dreaming up new and horrific ways to hurt them. Every woman I see sends me into constant daydreams about sexual assault. I have no real feelings besides anger toward anyone I meet. If only there was some sort of afterlife where you could just have a great big bloody murder spree and everyone gets to come back to life and do it all the next day. There'd be no grudges, just good sporting killing and maiming, and every evening you'd have a big feast and completely drunk with everyone you just murdered. Some sort of...chamber of killing, murder hall, violence hall...Viohall or something.

Android Blues posted:Yeah that was crazy good. You could literally believe it was Eleanor telepathically controlling her, sublime acting. It kind of reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode when Lister and Rimmer swap bodies - Craig Charles (Lister) does a pretty good job of being Rimmer-in-Listers-Body, but Chris Barrie (Rimmer) absolutely nails all the tiny mannerisms of Lister-in-Rimmer's-Body.

Regy Rusty posted:Can't wait to meet 70 year old Doug Forcett hell yah For those who aren't podcast fans, my favourite detail is how Doug Forcett is just the yearbook photo of Michael Schur's...brother-in-law I think. Who had an extremely odd day when he came to visit the set and Ted Danson was very excited to meet him.

greententacle posted:I've been thinking, being pyschologically tortured, like in the fake Good Place, I think I could deal with that. But being physically tortured, like what's supposed to happen in the Bad Place, nuh-uh, no way! What do you think? Would you rather be physically or psychologically tortured? I'd like to be physiologically tortured. 24/7 osmotic shock baby!

Gaz-L posted:Pushing Daisies wasn't even killed by ratings. It was killed by the writer's strike, just like Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles was (another great show that should've been around much longer) Also the first half of SCC season 2 was glacial as gently caress, I don't blame them for cancelling it before it suddenly became awesome again.

God I can't believe I have to wait till next month to see whatever their insane set up is going to be. It also feels like this is the point where the show will have to take a proper moral stance, and after three seasons of poking holes in all moral systems I'm excited to see what they come up with.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:The warmest you should ever eat fruit is banana at room temp Have you never grilled a banana? Wrapped it in foil and buried it in the embers of a bonfire? It goes all sweet and sticky and amazing. ApplesandOranges posted:What about warm apple cider, isn't that hot fruit? Mulled cider feels very hipster, but holy crap am I glad it's a thing almost everywhere now. It's so christmassy!

Mordiceius posted:Hi. I’m not reading the thread to avoid spoilers, but I wanted to say that I binged season 1 & 2 over the last two days and I have no loving clue how they are going to continue this show. There'll be an episode where you'll want to rush in and excitedly tell us as soon as you've watched it. Please do so. Edit: Doubly so if you've watched Westworld

Toast Museum posted:Wait, what's this referring to? I guess stick it in a spoiler tag to be safe. Both shows did a tribute to Lost, and it tickles me that they were so close together. Lost S2 Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_5ZQW0BCFU Westworld 2x04 Opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5en7XIUv6D0 Can't find a clip of the Good Place one, sadly. Mordiceius posted:Welp. Got to the Desmond episode.

Lutha Mahtin posted:a work of fiction that spans many novels may have more than one reference to knives. kind of controversial i kno but, it's possible Are you thinking of that great epigraph about how Arrakis teaches the principle of the knife, "cutting off what is incomplete and saying, now it is finished, because it ended here"? Cos I'm racking my brain trying to think of something that could be considered a time knife, and that's the closest I've got. Unless it's from the prequels

Cork-blorking. The show reminds me of SMBC in the way it juggles all these intellectual ideals, while also being gleefully lowbrow.

Doltos posted:Chidi dated Simone for like one episode he really over-reacted to the ex thing. Yeah, but it was over like a 6 month period. Hardly insignificant. Also Eleanor and Simone are cute as hell when they're winding Chidi up, so they might actually be able to pull off the inevitable love triangle in a non-awful way.

That would have been early enough that it would have worked as an extendedTwilight Zone episode. Cancelling it at any point after that (them pretending to go along with it, returning to earth, running their own good place) would have felt like there were more plot threads left dangling, and that would have been much worse.

Family Values posted:I also just caught up on S3 on Netflix. I liked the season overall and am looking forward to S4, but Chidi/Eleanor has tipped over into full on annoying for me. Sitcom romances are at best tedious, and doubly so when you do memory wipes and retread the same 'will they ever get together' routines. But even more than that, I think the two characters are so much better/funnier when they aren't mooning at each other. Chidi being exasperated at what a terrible person she is just works so well for this material. Eleanor wingmanning Chidi and Simone was absolutely adorable too. They should just be really good mates, Eleanor should be with Tahani.
