team overhead smash posted:My theory for what happens which i will spoiler because it's so good you'll realise I'm right straight away: If there was only one episode left in the season I'd be all about this theory, but plenty more to go still. Maybe this happens and then it's about fixing the Good Place, which it turns out has its own wild problems to be resolved? I think more likely it's just wild twists and turns from now right through to the end.

PostNouveau posted:Maybe the best Jason episode? Alright, I'll do it. Yeah a pretty drat good Jason episode this week. I think he's definitely had some lines that were insanely funny in some other episodes though that top this one. And good theory there Bone6, pretty much nailed it there.

I think the normal thing for what would come next is finishing setting up the new system, a trial run they help supervise, and then team cockroach gets put through it and gets into the good place. That's the conventional route, but I think it's pretty on par for them to bust out the twist of "All this convoluted mass rebooting was your go through the system, and now you've finally passed". Then again, there's no way that so much crazy stuff would be involved in every human's journey to self improvement. One way or another, despite all the good work they've done improving themselves and the afterlife system, they'll need to go through it to get in, and I fully expect that to be what the last few episodes are about, a fresh mindwipe and into the test they go. I'd get a kick out of seeing them pretty much coast through it and pass the test, and then for Michael to say something like "Yes, and it only took you 974 tries, that's the best anyone's done yet!"

I think going through the system is just something that'll need to be done, otherwise they're getting in on what amounts to a weird loophole. I dunno, even if they've clearly earned it I just don't see them getting that pass to the GP.

ashpanash posted:Yeah, I can imagine that the poorly conceived Micheal-is-jealous-of-Vicki plot is just a setup for the idea that these guys are going to hate endless light entertainment. A vacation from work is fun, but what's the point of existing if the molotov cocktails you throw won't explode? I could see that being where they end up in an "and the adventures continue" type of ending. Worth noting that no humans have gotten into the Good Place in something like 500 years, so there's definitely going to be aspects of it that don't really fit their needs since no one there has dealt with new humans in so long. Then again, Jeremy Bearimy and all that might not really be a factor. Good Place people being complete pushovers might actually help people who live there. If the Molotovs aren't blowing up, tell one of them you want it to and you should get what you want. I'm interested to see what conflicts could arise when the force that would normally resist your arguments instead always immediately caves to your point of view.

I can see suicide door being a sensible immediate solution, and after so long just getting everything they could ever want it may be just what's right for some Good Placers now, but yeah reincarnation door or something seems like a better long-term idea. Kudos to this show though for setting up a scenario where suicide can be presented as a morally justified and "right" choice, that's definitely a hell of a bold move that I didn't see coming at all. Whether they change what that door does or not, or add in a few more major doors, I have to imagine we're seeing them walking through some doors to end the show. I kind of want them to explore the comic potential of them all linking arms again and then Jason dipping at the last minute and staying behind and the rest just kind of awkwardly stumbling into the doorway.
