her freaking out read to me like someone overthinking some philosophical theories. like, if you're a brain in a jar, and you realize this, how do you not know that you're just being tricked into being a brain in a jar and etc. etc. getting sucked into inception style loops about thought experiments is panicky behavior and a good remedy is to have someone toss water at you

swickles posted:Even Arrested Development 4th and 5th season are tagged as Netflix Originals. i may be confused, but netflix directly produced seasons 4 and 5. same as the new seasons of MST3K, at this point it is a netflix original even if it's not exactly, original

i kinda figured the good place wasn't really heaven because of all the bad things that kept happening (like michael trying to get chidi a new hobby and then telling him his thesis was dog poo poo) and not buying the excuse of elanor inducing chaos into a perfect system, but dismissed that idea as the necessity of television to tell an interesting story because watching people sitting around being blissful forever is pretty boring

it kind of conformed with my fear of heaven and the afterlife - if it's absolutely perfect then it is effectively hell because either you become some other creature, not yourself, who can be immersed in endless rapture and joy and then you're brainwashed, or you're a human being trapped in a cell of unimaginable luxury which is certain to get boring after a few thousand years. i hope that the real actual good place in this show is full of amoral shitheads driven that way out of a desperate human need for novelty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZpZuIWu1tw

Ishamael posted:I didn't get the impression at all that Michael was lying about his epiphany, or that we are supposed to be suspicious of the discoveries he has made. I know it's the AV Club's job to overthink and overanalyze even the most basic of TV shows, but am I alone here? Did anyone else get the impression that Michael is not being truthful about the discoveries they just made about the point system? it's possible that michael is doing some kind of long con since, he is a demon who likes to torture people after all, and his face turn to de facto good guy was kind of abrupt but the show simply does not work post season one unless one of two things happen -michael rapidly sheds his eternity of demonic character and becomes a protagonist -you write ted danson off the show and there's only one real answer here

enki42 posted:One little mystery that I'd love to see resolved is how Michael was able to get a Good Place Janet so easily. They made a point of calling it out in the second season, and Michael gave an off handed comment about the Good Place not considering the possibility of a Janet being stolen, but it felt like the show was hinting not to take that at face value. from what we've seen of the Good Place so far he just walked right in and took a janet because nobody locked the door or questioned why he might be there *nervously touching face* "hi, i'm the... janet inspector, i'm here to take a janet to my janet inspection room, so i can make sure she's of the very best quality" "well, all our janets are as perfect as they can possibly be, but i don't see the harm in letting you have a look! one millionth door on the left  !"

Xelkelvos posted: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. yeah. all the demons are just horrible because they are, demons. michael is a demon who also happens to be fascinated with humans and by trying to be a trickster who engaged in psychological torture of humans he accidentally taught himself empathy and whoops. michael is a human weeb
