So, was Glen intentionally lying about Vicki in the Michael suit, or did he say it because he actually believed that was true?

He saw the suit being made, and saw them celebrating after the switcharoo and legitimately assumed thats what happened.

It's funny there are multiple serieses about that airing right now.

(since the His Dark Materials series just started and that's how that series ends)

There’s no point putting the title of the thing you’re spoiling behind a spoiler tag.

Also I know guessing at what the "new system" will be (or even if there will be one) is kinda pointless with how often this show swerves, but the focus on Eleanor and Chidi's relationship really makes me think that it's going to end up being based on love. You don't need to worry about every possible long-term consequence of your actions--if you put more love into the world than hatred during your lifetime, you get into the Good Place. It doesn't even need to be love for humans either, it can be animals, or nature, or whatever you like, as long as it's real love.

I can even see a future exchange with the accountant who spent all that time in the obelisk this season. Someone (probably Chidi) starts asking "but how can you possibly quantify love" and the accountant just gives him a look and says, "What? That's easy, we do it all the time up here. We got this."

That doesn’t solve the central flaw they uncovered at the trial though- People who get love and interventions from others turn out better than those who don’t, so it’s hard to judge the latter.

Jason was stupid, but he offered a unique viewpoint that the others didn't see as a result. He was the "sometimes the most obvious solution is the best one" guy, which came in handy a few times, when you have overthinkers like Eleanor, Chidi, and Michael around.

He was also the butt of the joke that made me laugh the hardest I've laughed in years when Michael got upset that Jason figured it out and that alone is worth his main character status.

It occurs to me that Jason probably had to be the first one to decide to go through the door to emphasize it was of his own volition because if he was one of the later ones the fact he's so dumb would make it seem like peer pressure.
