They literally told him he’s in heaven and that he can just call a magic lady who will deliver anything he wants. If I was in that situation, you’re drat right I’m ordering some Perrier and a car. Just drink water like a normal person. Perrier is some bougie poo poo that gets you bumped up in line for the guillotine

BioThermo posted:Somehow, Eleanor now becoming a torturer feels like she's falling into the plans of the bad place. I think this was the plan all along. Keep Elanor in leadership and then push her to slowly torture the other actual humans or otherwise keep their points down. I'm guessing the Bad Place may have an eye on the Accounting or something too.

This is "Shannon was stabbed" all over again.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Exactly my point. You cannot have a real Janet and a Fake Michael because they went onto the train together. Therefore if Janet is real, Michael must also be real. I don't understand your reference. I will admit that that's basically the only hole: a nearly omnipotent being getting distracted just long enough for a switch to happen seems unlikely. Michael pushing Eleanor to initially torture Chidi seems like a suspect thing. Also the destruction of problems thing since Michael absolutely knows what problem Chidi's talking about and implies destroying it even if Michael would obviously know that Chidi wouldn't want to destroy Jason.

The cloaked figure could be anyone. We don't really understand how the spatial geometry of that railway works so they could be anyone from anywhere. They could be from the Bad Place, the actual Good Place, an Accountant, the Judge, IHOP.  That said, if the reviews are pointing out this upcoming episode as a big one, I'd probably  a 24 hour probe that the hooded person will be revealed that episode.

OH SNAP. I think someone in the thread thought about this, but it was dismissed immediately. Evil Mastermind posted:JASON figured it out!? In this case, I think only Jason would've been the one to figure it out. I knew the lack of "Not a girl" was a bit off.

Jason's mom gave birth to him while doing a cannonball. That great. Jason's mom died to cancer. That's sad. His delivery is just so positive though. It's great.

I don't see the ending as suicide, per se, but as Nirvana. They describe it in pretty much all but name. It's not a sense of happiness. It's a sense of pure and total satisfaction; a sense of needing nothing more. It's reaching the very top of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and then surpassing it. Full and total Self-actualization. There are moments in your life that can make that sense felt, but it's a fleeting thing for most people. For Jason, Chidi and Eleanor, they felt it. That sense of pure self satisfaction. Jason and Eleanor went in immediately, but Chidi waited because he knew that Eleanor wasn't ready. He waited because endings affect everyone and he waited for Eleanor feel ready. There's tons of stuff Chidi hadn't done or tried. He just picked up a new hobby. But he was already ready. He was just waiting for the person he care most about to be ready. That's what makes it different from suicide. For Tahani, she wasn't quite ready. She was satisfied with all of the things she could do as a human, but she wanted to do more. She was satisfied in some way, but she still wanted to do and experience and to help more. Maybe one day she'll walk though the doorway when she feels she should, but even by the end of the show, she wasn't. To put it in the parallel of reincarnation and Buddhism, she chose to stay in the cycle after she achieved nirvana so as to try and help others reach it. It's a valid choice, just as exiting the cycle is. (of course, they describe the cycle and existence itself as a form of tribulation whereas The Good Place, where team Cockroach is, is more or less past that). Their departure isn't suicide. It's independence and acceptance. There's also how we emotionally attach endings, whether they're of life or shows or anything, to bad things. They're definitely sad and sometimes heartbreaking, but it's not. Endings are things that happen, and the sadness comes for knowing there will never be more. It then becomes "bad" because of the inability to accept that state.

Double post but you know how there's some of those dumb "The Philosophy of _________" books that exist for poo poo like Deadpool or Batman? There's gonna be one for this series, I bet, and if it's not literally an 800 page textbook, it's gonna suck.

Judge doesn't have human brain or our perception of time, so I'm not sure duration-based concerns are very applicable? Also a number of them are probably improv'd gags by Maya Rudolph
