Also if I've been told I was in the Good Place and there's this huge racist rear end in a top hat that's shown me repeatedly how he's a huge racist rear end in a top hat who will never change, and then he gets sucked into a fiery pit? I might just assume that's the Good Place correcting itself and sending him to the Bad Place.

I love that they have a canon explanation for why Chidi is so jacked.

And then three minutes later they're sitting around a pool and Jason is shirtless and also jacked for some reason.

But they've consistently fallen for each others several times, so they really are soul mates

That doesn't really prove they're soul mates. You're probably going to be attracted to the same things about that person every time you meet them for the first time, even if that relationship was ultimately doomed.

If anyone's making gifs of this show, can I request one of Paul Scheer's character smiling and saying "The fair thing to do is to give up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy!"

I feel like it will come in useful in a political context.

I dunno if this is going to be an immediate thing though, I have to imagine most people are going to want to stay and soak up the Good Place for decades, probably until all their living relatives have passed on at least. I would bet on flash-forwards to a hundred years later when Chidi and Eleanor smile at eachother and have a sappy moment about "what comes next?" as they walk through the door together.

You guys are being super blasé about the prospect of being able to have all your wishes fulfilled. Like, okay, it eventually gets old because there's no challenge but like... how long do you envision it taking before you get bored of it? I have to imagine I'd be happy to live in the magical lap of luxury for at least as long as my lifetime on earth. If they can rig up a way for me to shitpost on the internet and play online video games I might never leave.

The people in the Good Place have been there for a minimum of five hundred years -- the guy with the DDR jacket said he's from 2500 BC. It's gonna take a while before your brain turns to mush. Eternal pleasure until I've experienced everything I've ever wanted to and my brain turns to mush seems like a pretty good reward for being good on earth.
