This is going to be like that season of Doctor Who where there's two 11th Doctors running around.

Very much so. His appearance last episode was basically Chekhov�s wind chimes.

Series finale is January 30th and is going to air in a 90 minute block with an aftershow included into the 90 minutes. Unclear how long the aftershow will be but it will probably break down to hour for show, half hour for aftershow.

And then Brooklyn 99 starts Feb 6th! :toot:

Road tripping recently has helped to blitz through the GP podcast with Marc Evan Jackson (he plays Shawn). I�m nearly to the end of Season 3, and the dynamic has gotten so good. The one with Jason Mantzoukas guest hosting is amazing.

I feel like they�re going to find out the Good Place has slipped completely into gross debauchery, and now they�ll have to fix that.

People have lived their good life on Earth and now they get consequence-free pleasure in eternity. Janet made a bag of cocaine for Mindy, so there�s clearly no limits on what a Janet will provide.

Something about actually seeing them in Paris made me very happy. I like Paris too. :gbsmith:

Also Nick Offerman was credited as Nick Offerman.

Generally I liked it, although I feel like I�d have been happier if it turned out they reincarnated into a new person after going through the door, and their past experiences acted as the little voice conscience.

I can�t imagine getting tired of the afterlife though, if you can explore everything and everywhere with a whole universe at your beck and call. Show me other planets, Janet!

I�ve realised what I�ve been reminded of, and it�s the Star Trek Voyage episode �Death Wish�. The Q wanting to end his life because he�s done everything, been everywhere, and the universe holds no more secrets. Even being the scarecrow has lost its charm.

Did someone who worked on the show ever confirm that the Good Place committee were meant to be establishment liberals/Democrats with decorum brain poisoning?

Just noticed that they were unable to provide paradise because they couldn't think outside the parameters of the status quo which is pretty fitting if so.

Yes, several times in the podcast. The script notes for their first appearance described them as �Vermont�.

In the podcast, Jameela says that D�Arcy held herself slightly differently when she was playing Bad Janet pretending to be Good Janet. Usually when Janet is just standing there, she holds her thumb in her other hand. Playing BJPtbGJ, she held her other thumb, as a subtle tell that something was off. D�Arcy deserves all the accolades.

She really is amazing in this show. I think the scene where they �murder� Janet in S01 is when this show went from �fun� to �amazing� in my mind. And that scene works so well because of Carden, she is hilarious as Janet and continued to show more and more depth as they went.

I watched that scene 3 times because of crying with laughter. D�Arcy�s gritted teeth �Look at them! LOOK AT THEM!� gets me every time.

Oh absolutely. Usually MEJ gets 1 person from in front of the camera (actors), and one from behind. Writers, directors, costume designers, art dept, PAs, even the animal trainer! It�s always funny and informative, and Marc is an excellent host. He�s as much a fan of the show as he is a part of it.
