In the podcast they talk about intentionally avoiding that angle, so I think we're good.

Awesome, because yeah I agree too. I also think Eleanor easily falls in love with Chidi when he’s the closest thing she’s got to a hot mailman, but in the living world, she’s got too many options to realize Chidi is her boy, at least not until after a LOT of growth.

Also yeah Simone is adorable and the MRI scene made me grin real big. Eleanor is an excellent wingman.

With this show's ability to turn even mundane things into gold, I kind of want an episode explaining how Michael managed to do everything he did on Earth.

The doorman explained that he's powerless on Earth, and only has the abilities available to any normal human. He still managed to travel all over the world, pay for travel arrangements for Jason, get costumes and props, and a bunch of other background things to make this all work. He did all of that despite presumably being dropped into one place with just the clothes on his back.

What I'm saying is, nevermind Chidi, I want Michael to be my life coach.

Seems to me he still gets to be his brilliant all-knowing self and simply predicts exactly what the humans need as a push in the right direction.

Which makes the “didn’t see any other posters, eh?” gag about Jason my very favorite. Jason Mendoza: too dumb to manipulate properly.

I've said it before. The "good place people" set up the rules this way so no one would ever go to the good place and they would never have to do any work of any kind. The place isn't empty because the rules are dumb, the rules are dumb to keep the place empty.

You might be right, but it seems pretty cruel for the tone of this show. It’s much more believable to me that innocent Good Place types would just misunderstand the human condition enough to accidentally set up an impossible task for them. It would line up with how little the demons understand humans as well.

I can't tell you how relieved I am that Michael Schur decided to make great TV rather than do anything with food, ever
