Robot Hobo posted:This is Jason we're talking about. I think, somehow, it still counts. Does his actor improv bits because I remember seeing one of the gag reels from S1 where he basically does the same scene over again (him guessing how he died) but with incredulously dumb things that are still very Florida. Or is it a case of the writers having multiple options and letting the actor do them all and then picking the best one in editing? Because I think this is a case of that.

double nine posted:"well breaking the rules would be bad so our hands are tied" Both sides seem to be willing to bend the rules to their advantage when it suits them, but only the Bad Place people, as far as we know, are willing to out and out break them, though it still seems to be in more covert ways. There's a Higher Power that would mete out punishment if said rules were openly broken but we have no idea as to if that's actually true or how it would be enforced.

I assume he's still falling in that endless abyss and neither Steve nor the Judge care enough to pull him out.

The Fuzzy Hulk posted:I’m guessing the final scene of the entire series will be an old Elanore dying and then a close up of her young eyes opening and seeing the “Everything is fine” wall. Nah, that'll be the end of this season or something. The series will end with Michael taking his last breath and then waking up and seeing the "Everything is Fine" wall.

It could be that they weren't getting any more work so they lost motivation to work on that in-pile since nothing new is gonna get added to it and unless the deadline isn't the end of the universe, there's probably no rush at that point.

Taear posted:The idea that it's super hard to get points now because the things that gave you points were decided on when you could only influence a few thousand people seems pretty legit and I like it. With Mindy, I assume it's because her foundation would've been so large and so massive that it definitely would've breached the wide reaching scale that the Accountants seem to factor in. Unfortunately, she died just before she could actually put it into action. Remember that the point of contention was if her points could be added posthumously As far as the "time stream" goes: say it with me: Jeremy Bearimy.

Dr Christmas posted:So far, whenever we get a look at a specific example of an action earning points, the description is always short, and to-the-point, but apparently we also need a mountain of context too that is never seen in that person's "file." We know that motivation matters, but we've still never seen someone's file mention it. When someone donates to a soup kitchen, we only see "Donated $X to a soup kitchen," not whether they did it out of compassion, to get into heaven, to avoid hell, for self-aggrandizement, or to get laid. And now we know that the effects matter to, except we've never seen "Donated to soup kitchen, only for most of it to go to the manager's salary," or another person getting more Good Place Points because the week they donated, their money went towards a more hungry person. I bet the coke bender had something to do with it.

xbilkis posted:IMO the series should end with the judge rejecting Michael's appeals and affirming that, under modern capitalism, every single human being will live a life of moral failure that results in eternal damnation. A force so malicious that it legitimately outweighs any attempts to do good on a smaller scale it then cuts to the Museum of Torture and pans to a sign saying "Greatest Forms of Torture Invented By Humans" and pans across a few like Mustard Gas, Waterboarding, and Internet Shock Porn to reveal the worst thing ever: Capitalism

Argue posted:I don't think the answer was entirely satisfactory; Doug Forcett explicitly structured his life to make sure that he avoided unintended consequences. I guess it could be that everything he did prior to his revelation already put him too far into the negatives but I'd have appreciated them addressing it considering they specifically mentioned him by name. I'd wager some of it is stuff like having lived on land that was forcefully taken from the natives hundreds of years ago and helping people who are bad or do bad things. I imagine that merely living in the Americas as a non-indigenous person (and even then) is a defacto point hit because of the consequences of that existence. PostNouveau posted:Holy poo poo, they're just outright attacking capitalism now? I didn't think this show could get better and bam. They're not shouting out against Capitalism, per se, but if you read between the lines, it totally is. It's just that most people wont quite catch it or come to that conclusion.

Phenotype posted:What about the tribe on that island that's never interacted with the modern world before, the one that killed some rich idiot who landed there a few months ago? Wouldn't they be out of the system and get into the Good Place? They've interacted with the world before, it's just that they constantly refuse to engage with it in any large way after a British admiral kidnapped some of the men to exhibit and possibly other unspeakable things before returning them to their home. And then a few decades ago, a tanker had crashed on shore and the natives were really eager to murder the gently caress out of the crew. The crew got airlifted out and the natives got a source of metal for their weapons.

Also it implies that they died "recently" which would be painful and might make sense for most of them. Maybe Chidi's professor friend or someone from Jason's dance crew would be possible though

I didn't realize the next episode would be the last one, but I imagine it'll probably set up the new norm for the Soul Squad for the next year before taking a time skip in S4 with flashbacks to some of the more ridiculous things they tried for the test subjects. Beyond that, maybe one of the test subjects finds the now field of reset buttons for all the Janet babies. It's hard to say which way it'll go.

BioEnchanted posted:Shawn is an rear end, but I don't blame him for it - if he accepts that Humans are better than he thinks they are, that's a inroad to something potentially very dangerous for him - empathy. A demon who suddenly empathises with his victims isn't going to be as effective at his only job - Michael was only able to cope because he changed his job himself by rebelling against the system. I think his current behaviour trying to psyche out Michael is partially motivated by fear. If the experiment succeeds, his entire worldview is neutered. Trillions of years of torture called into question because what if? Or Shawn could be a dick because he chooses to be. He seems to enjoy being an rear end in a top hat, not just to humans, but to the demons around him. That's how he is. Trevor seemed to be in the same boat.

Michael is definitely a Demon. A free thinking Demon, but a Demon nonetheless. I would like to see the Angel version of Michael though. More exploration into the weirdness that is "The Good Place" would be neat.

Oasx posted:Besides messing Chidi, Simone seems like an odd pick. From everything we know she is a nice and kind person, and doesn't seem like the type who would need moral philosophy lessons. It's specifically meant to mess with Chidi. In all other ways, it's an ultimately benign pick. I sorta have faith in the writers that they'll restore their memories before too long given the pace and nature of the show. Probably by the second or third episode for the next season.
