Janet is going to be either a porygon or a rotom, I assume.

I'd been expecting five seasons, but I'm glad they're ending whenever they feel appropriate.

Buried among Michael's lies in season 1 was the probably true fact that you needed an insane amount of points to get in, and that even a lot of people you'd think would get in, didn't. Of course, we know now there are bigger reasons for that, but those factoids he dropped on Eleanor could easily have been rooted in the truth, that the point requirement is unreasonably high.

And here's Schur on the matter:

Ugh, the system was abhorrent even before it totally broke. So getting tortured forever for not actively doing enough good if you lived a quiet life by yourself and did no harm to anyone was the intended expected outcome.

But then that fits in with the fact that unintentional bad you didn't know about counts against you, but good without pure motivation doesn't count for you. The whole thing has always been stacked for maximising torture.

Burn this mother to the ground. Throw Gen into the bad place, the complicit monster.

Hell, tear away the whole idea thus is an afterlife. Why the gently caress should this be 'after' life? This should be the true human civilisation, a hundred billion people living in a post-scarcity infinite world with powers beyond comprehension where time bends and turns! This is the land for philosopher kings, creativity and art beyond measure! Our time on earth should be nothing but childhood, an embryonic phase before we ascend to join the real humanity!

STORM AND CONQUER HEAVEN AND BUILD OUR KINGDOM ON THE RUINS

Somebody's been reading K6BD...

I mean yeah a little bit.

I do genuinely think though when watching the show that there's no good reason that the state of existence of the good place should be treated as an afterlife, instead of just the next stage of the human lifecycle. It made sense back when they thought that humans in the good place couldn't change and grow, but now we know they can it should be a grand civilization instead of a forced retirement village. This whole current concept seems like it's been been very artificially enforced on it by the various beings with power.

Ah well, at the rate Janet's going she'll be probably be able to rebuild the whole thing from the ground up by the end of it, so let's see where it goes.

Now I’m thinking of The City of the Saved from Doctor Who spin-off, Faction Paradox. A mindshatteringly giant city (roughly galaxy-sized) held in a space just after the Big Crunch that contains the resurrected forms of everyone who ever lived.

I wonder if they were borrowing a bit when they came up with Testimony in the last Doctor Who christmas special.

Which incidentally I loved so much. Humanity getting on a few billion years, going 'well, there doesn't seem to be an afterlife, so gently caress it, we'll use time travel and mind-scanning tech and retroactively make one.

now I'm wondering what a chidi-jason pairing would be like.

Honestly it wouldn't be the worst combination...

Jason lovingly teaching Chidi how to chill out and relax, I could see it.

One of the reboots I'm sure Michael tried it.

Jason would be very good for Chidi. I think he would push Chidi into action but in a good way. He's the scarecrow, all heart no brain, and Chidi is the tin man, all brain no heart. Eleanor is Dorothy and Tahani is the cowardly lion...

Plus he can put his hand on your heart and solve all your problems.
