Evil Mastermind posted:Thanks, ants. This is nice and all, but honestly, what is it that makes The Good Place such a good show? It's a difficult question because it's impossible to describe. One might ask the same about birds: what are birds? We just don't know.

BioEnchanted posted:I kind of want to see them get more creative when characters try to swear, like have them use phrases that never existed but the edited versions get the point across, like "Why don't you go shove a fork up your ash-hole?" No one ever uses gently caress like that, but with the way the good place/neighborhoods censor them, they could invent new ones. You're right in that no one would ever say "go shove a gently caress up your rear end in a top hat," unless they are a poorly written character for whom English is clearly a second language. But, I could easily see someone saying "go shove a fork up your rear end," because of all the things that can go up a butthole, I'd imagine that a fork would be one of the worst.

Honestly, I like that they went full Johnny Dangerously right from the start. That gag is funny in and of itself. Anyone remember this gem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxmkiy9txBE

Pinwiz11 posted:JANET A missed opportunity, honestly. What I wouldn't give to have seen them do that routine. Evil Mastermind posted:JASON figured it out!? ... another missed opportunity. It would have been cool to see Shawn give a totally different read on the whole "Jason? Oh... this is a new low point. This one hurts." Or something. What can I say? I like callbacks. BioEnchanted posted:I loved the closing lines: Yeah, the closing lines were cool. And Jason really cleans up well. But they'd have to get pretty far away from the neighborhood for Michael to take off his skin suit without alerting the Janetbabies. Didn't Michael say he's 6,000 feet tall? The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is 600 feet tall, and it doesn't glow. Even on a somewhat hazy day, you can see it over 10 miles away. I would imagine that something made of fire that was 10 times taller would be harder to miss. ... speaking of Janetbabies... was Bad Janet controlling them? Or have they been controlling themselves? Maybe Derek? Marble Janet?

What did the one Janet say right before the commercial break? I rewound it several times and I just can't catch it. And of course there is no closed captioning.

Taear posted:The way you consume media is the bad place That's a little harsh. Maybe it's not so much the Bad Place as it is the Jeremy Bearimy. Normy posted:I wonder how a Bad Janet tries to prevent a reboot. Must be a full on attack. Begging would never be effective. I like to think that instead of begging, she uses deceit and threats. For instance, when someone is about to reboot her, she tries to convince whoever it is that it won't work because she's rigged the button to... I don't know, blow up something important; or maybe it'll reset them instead, causing their existence to cease; or maybe it instead cures a really good child of cancer. You know, stuff that would give a demon pause.

Senor Tron posted:The SlowMoGuys channel on Youtube is great for seeing this. At the extreme framerates they will be recording something at daytime and the background still looks as dark as night. Did you see the one where they went to that science place, and they were able to film the actual speed of light? (Or was that a different slow-mo channel?) I wish there was a cheap camera that was affordable enough for me to play around with.

Maybe what everyone thinks is the Good Place is actually a Michael-style experiment that worked perfectly, and its inhabitants are self-tortured by tedious, self-flagellating bureaucracy, and have been since the beginning of the dot in the "i" of the Jeremy Bearimy. They've been so expertly set up to torture themselves that they don't even have to be monitored anymore. It's almost like Stockholm Syndrome. That's why they can't really do anything about the news that the point system was unfair, other than planning on thinking about brainstorming up an idea exchange session, something that will take billions of years just for the panel selection process. And, suggesting that it could be handled that quickly causes them to quit the committee preemptively. Michael has re-invented the wheel. And the only Good Place? That's 30 Rock. The show, not the building.

A fitting end. My wife was crying for about 77% of the episode, and I had to laugh at her very rudely to keep from choking up myself. They ended it at the right time. I almost didn't start watching this show. The advertisements looked, to me, like a giant, glowing sign that read "Hot Hot HOT GARBAGE!", but my wife had the remote, and there wasn't anything better on. I was not expecting that first twist, and I was hooked. Bravo.

Janet isn't going on without her friends. She straight-up told Jason that she's basically Dr. Manhattan when it comes to... experiencing... time.... ... hey, anyone want to start a thread fight with the Watchmen bunch over which show did non-linear time, or Dr. Manhattan specifically, better?

One thing I noticed right away was that Tahini stopped dropping names. That was a nice, subtle clue that she had really grown in the afterlife. Of course, she did drop one name right at the end, but everyone else lampshaded it, and she acknowleged that it was something that she deserved to be made fun of about. It wasn't a huge thing, but I do like that they actually had her stopped dropping the names. She was doing that right up through the penultimate episode, so was a neat way to show some growth.

So, who gets into the Good Place in fewer Bearimies: Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler, or Henry Ford?
