I predict the cliffhanger will follow the nature of last year’s cliffhanger where Shawn was in Michael’s office. We thought he was in the poo poo, buuuuuut...

That slapstick gag at the start of the show was violently out of place. It took me several minutes to get back into the episode. The whole VR memory thing is a bit of a stretch that can be glossed over. Losing all your hair and spitting out teeth, only to “recover” a few minutes later, is straight Looney Tunes poo poo that has no place on Earth Other than that, it was really good.

The podcast directly addresses this issue. Doug’s not dinged because he doesn’t know this is how it works. It’s a guess, based off a hallucination.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:but she didnt know doug's situation somehow Another thing is What’s-her-name continuing where she left off when she was un-cocooned. Earlier this season, when Sean cocoons whatever demon (I think the fire monster who was sucking up?), he kept trying to talk after being cocooned. So, do you continue being aware while cocooned, or do you go into suspension? Or is it mainly dependent on if the Mega-Demons writing your lines really want to make a joke? I only pick these nits because, I remember a while back, Schur said something about being advised to map the show out, to learn from the mistakes made by Lost. Sure, individual episodes are written as they come, but that there should be an end game towards which you work, and it will keep you focused from making sloppy mistakes as you try to wing it. It’s a testament to how amazing a job they do on this show, that the three internal logic inconsistencies noted thus far (Eleanor’s mind-blowing gag being the other) are so noticeable against an otherwise sound 3D world. But when you consider that these three errors (?) are all from S3... well, I hope it isn’t a portent of things to come. The first two seasons were so damned tight, I’d hate to see it become a cartoon.

I know, it’s hard to bring up criticisms without evoking strong reactions. Like, for real. If it goes that way, it’ll still be one of the best shows ever made. pwn fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Nov 16, 2018 |

Regy Rusty posted:I'm not convinced that what Doug has been doing wouldn't get him in to the good place. I think the purpose of his character is to demonstrate what it means to take the criteria to the extreme and maximize point gain to the expense of everything else. I like what someone said earlier: The reason Doug or anyone else isn’t getting in, is because no one does. That was what Sean was about to say when Michael Noped him outta there. Maybe The Accountants all are from the bad place, and they just send everyone there, regardless of points? The Good Place does work on an honour system, after all. They don’t even lock up their Janets! Of course, Mindy/The Medium Place seemingly nullifies this whole cockamamie theory.

Thranguy posted:Lincoln was in the show, from Michael. The pilot? Speaking of the podcast, I’m listening to it now, and this episode was originally going to be aired after the holiday break. NBC didn’t have new episodes of the other Thursday shows to air with it, but Schur convinced them to run it, in part to better the chances of D’Arcy being noticed as awards season starts to ramp up, so NBC moved poo poo around to make it happen. That’s very cool, and good.

Senor Tron posted:On the subject of episode lengths, they've mentioned on the podcast they have different length versions of episodes. On Netflix are we getting the longest ones? The_Doctor posted:Sometimes, apparently. Also, the Blu-rays may have different extended cuts from the ones on NBC's own site. No-one seems to be able to pin down exactly what different versions exist for what episodes, or collate them in one place. quote:
As it turned out: The DVD (no Blu-ray, sad) did have extended “producer’s cut” versions of all the episodes - except eps 1 and 13. Those were only available on Hulu, and probably NBC’s site, though I never checked back then. So the DVD is, frustratingly, incomplete. And none of those extended versions are on Hulu anymore in the US; they expired shortly before S3 premiered. Netflix has them in broadcast length. And when I use the NBC app, this is what I see for S1:  S2 just has podcasts and clips, no episodes. Amazon only has the broadcast-length versions as well. Only available for purchase, no streaming. I never bothered comparing the runtimes for S2, so I couldn’t tell you the runtimes. Based on what i remember seeing on Hulu this Summer, they had extendeds for nearly every episode, except for the premiere, to which Schur apparently committed to the double-length premise and never had separate/extended cuts for those episodes. The rest were similar to S1, anywhere from 2 to 5-ish extra minutes each. I do not yet have the S2 DVD, but according to the Shout! Factory page, it contains extended episodes. Again, E1/2, “Everything is Great!,” appears as one double-length episode, but is not extended. I have never seen nor heard of any other version of this episode anywhere (besides the fact that they will be two episodes in syndication, obviously.) Summary: In the US, you can see broadcast versions on Netflix and Amazon. The only place to see extended episodes for S1 and S2 is on DVD. Except S1E01 and S01E13, where there is nowhere to see them. Please prove me wrong, as I’d like to see them again.

Probably those on both sides, too

GreenNight posted:It's not often that a pilot episode is peak show. It may be a case of the Casablanca Effect, where the show was so groundbreaking that its influence has become entrenched in the fabric of those shows which have succeeded it, thus rendering it unremarkable to a new viewer. I’ll give it another try, sometime.
