Yeah it seemed very obvious that Doug was doomed because his desires were corrupt. If he was genuinely happy with how his life was going that'd be one thing, but as pointed out he was miserable deep down.

Actually, could it be that as soon as Doug got the epiphany of how the point system worked, he was doomed anyway since his counter would have stopped? Since he 'realized' how the system operated, even if subconsciously.

The system does seem set up to ding you if you do good for any reason other than pure selflessness. Remember, Tahani did millions of dollars of charity work when she was alive and none of it counts because she did it to feed her ego and compete with her sister.

I suspect we may find out that no one has ever qualified for the Good Place, although that may be a bit too obvious. Maybe Abraham Lincoln is hanging out there alone wondering where everyone else is.

Do we know anything about Chidi's family? I can only remember being shown his friends/girlfriends in the past. I ask only because I realised that everyone else was given the chance to, if not mend their relationship with their families, at least to accept who they are - Jason accepts what his Donkey Doug is like, Tahani discovers she and her sister are united in both being hosed up by their parents, Eleanor sees that her mother was capable of growth even if she wasn't there for her. Chidi just loses a great relationship (even if he did it the best way he could).

I think the only mention of Chidi's family has been when he was served his mom's maafe in The Good Plates, back in S1.

I just realized what this show reminds me of: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And it's the greatest compliment I can give it.

Props for posting that on page 42.

One little bit I noticed: Janet's wedding album for her and Janet includes a "Jeremy Bearimy" with an arrow pointing to when it happened.

Also, I now want an American remake of Orphan Black for D'Arcy to star in.

New Human #1 is a journalist “of some sort.” I got $5 he’s a conspiracy theorist, though not the angry right-wing kinds all over the place today.

I was thinking some kind of TMZ sleazoid.

Another thing I realized: that video of Harper teaching Danson how to do the floss that was going around a while ago turned out to actually be relevant to the show instead of just backstage screwing around.
