I think the discussion is interesting, but I do want to clarify that the concept that people in the good place would be burnt out and be brain zombies after infinite pleasure is a good one, and a very natural place for the show to start mining stories from.

I can't speak for anyone else, but what felt off to me was the proposed solution - and not simply because the implication was effectively (and perhaps, actually) suicide, but rather because it seemed so counter to the message the show has been delivering for four seasons now, without even acknowledging that. And I also want to stress that this all could change on Thursday.

I agree on all points. I also just feel like this episode was basically a perfect (if perhaps saccharine) finale, so I feel really hesitant about the actual finale. It's like, "no guys you stuck the landing why are you jumping again?" But I want to have faith in Schur so I'm crossing my fingers

No amount of begging and pleading with an invisible sky wizard will change that.

Cut myself on the edge in this post.

unless I misremember, the announcement of suicide door doesn't state where the door is, just that it exists, you still need to find it.

I thought they showed it in the back of the room next to the "go anywhere real or imagined" door. Maybe I'm misremembering. (If so though, they really need to put a sign over them)

Ah. Are the Dead Sea scrolls the ones where Luke marries Mara Jade and Chewie dies by having a moon crash into him?

No they're the ones that make you build giant robots and turn everyone into orange juice.

Jason goes first, getting bored with every small vehicle/animal combination.

I feel like even if he got bored of animal combinations, eventually he'd get caught in an infinite loop with Janet or one of his Jacksonville boys before he chose to take the door.

I thought it was pretty good but then after the Tahani non-door ending, seeing Chidi and Eleanor (and Jason the second time) go through seemed kinda lovely. Like "oh hey, there's other options besides cosmic suicide and mush brain... but we're not gonna explore that for everyone else"

Well overall I still feel like the last episode was a better endpoint but I see why people would want more closure and I'm glad they got it here.
