Taear posted:Definitely really because they've done everything that they want to do, you know? That means it's taken time. Humans stopped getting into the good place hundreds and hundreds of years ago. It was a major plot point in season three that the system was broken. There weren't people in the good place who were alive in a time frame contemporary to the main cast.

Taear posted:Hypatia has been in the afterlife for loads of beremies which is fine sure - but then how do new people enter the afterlife when hundreds of beremies has no relevance to real time but people also enter in real time? I don't think we know that people enter in real time. If you look at the Jeremy Bearimy drawing, it's a big convoluted loop. The experience of a person in the afterlife would be like the pencil drawing the name in script: a single, continuous line. But if you step outside that perspective, it doesn't reflect the human interpretation of time and experience at all. The amount of lead used to make the line doesn't reflect the space between the loops. Humans, like the pencil, can't conceive of the bigger picture. That's also the basis for the asides about the time knife. This isn't supposed to make total sense because we, as finite beings with imperfect perception, cannot actually fathom the idea. It's also a joke.

Dias posted:Again, that's on you. You fall on the exact opposite philosophical stance this series has regarding eternal life. It happens, it's not a flaw, philosophy doesn't have a right answer anyway. To add a bit to this, basically every single philosophical element portrayed in this show could have a good-faith disagreement about whether the message is "terrible" or not. The show seems consistent about what it's trying to say, to me at least.
