"The Best Place," reminds me of that claw machine from S1: Michael: Oh, man! I didn't even want that thing. Why am I trying to win it? Elanor: Because the machine says it's a prize. And I love how the shows feel structured enough that there could another long-con hiding in it. But whether there is not, it's still great. Such a well done show.

I'd like to know if Hitler got points for killing Hitler.MikeJF posted:They've avoided addressing the big elephant in the room with Jason, which is a question of moral culpability for someone who's pretty clearly characterised as intellectually disabled. At this point it looks like they're just going to ignore it instead of ever getting to it. Mike looked out of sorts and Jason had an oddly specific line: quote:Uh-oh. I know that look. He just snorted a bunch of printer toner. Mike, listen to me, you have nothing to worry about. You still have around 70% of your brain left You think Jason's ever snorted printer toner?  1glitch0 posted:So here's something to wrinkle your brain. If you're Hitler, do you lose more points for the actual killing of 6 million people, do those lost points not count for you because you didn't personally do it aka, The Reverse-Nuremberg Defense.

This season owns. One of the best gags in the entire series is Michael deftly steering Chidi toward helping Brad by exploding the vase then the motorcycle.

Argue posted:I'll do you one better, (speculation based on philosophical spoilers) the new architects of the afterlife will, for the duration of the reinvention of the afterlife, have their memories wiped, so that they don't know which of them are the judge, the good place crew, the bad place crew, a bad mortal, a good mortal, or Mindy. Haha, I hope they do this. That's so good.

They still haven't addressed why humans need to be contained/imprisoned for eternity.  Free the humans! Turn the afterlife into a rehab program which prepares humans for release.

I don't find meaning in death so this is falling a bit flat for me.

The Good Place should be all about contemplative traditions. The Hedonic Treadmill is out. The 'Unattainable Ideal' Treadmill is in. Buddhism and Nirvana. Stoicism and Sagehood.

socialsecurity posted:I'm not sure how all these reincarnation supporters want this to go. So you are in the Good Place and go through the reincarnation door, you are reborn on Earth and live a different live not knowing about your one from before, you die again. Now this new person who lived a different life do they get unwillingly merged with who they were before? I love the idea and here's my take: It's a new realm. All souls are from the Good Place. You reserve a new birth and that's your entry. Time stops when there's empty seats. All humans must have souls. Your character is intact. It's still you, just with blanked memory and the quirks of developmental phases. On exit, it's like remembering where you left your car keys. This would be rad. Especially if you could get weird with it like spending a week as a tardigrade or simultaneously being 500 people at once.
