swickles posted:The only thing about that theory which gives me pause is that so far every attempt by a demon to act good or play another has been comically inept. I dunno, 318 of them did pretty well in season one. Although they may have stopped giving a poo poo in iteration two onwards. I'd assume it's still Vicki in the suit: she was wearing it when Shaun showed it to us and she's a notable recurring who'd make sense to reintroduce like this.

Her accent didn't annoy me (am Aussie) this week because I legit didn't even register it as bad Aussie, it just sounded like one of the weird British accents.

You know, looking back at the issue they were originally having (they couldn't prove that humans could improve because Team Cockroach hadn't had their scores tracked) it really would've made more sense to just send the roaches back around for iteration 803, since they aced the first 802. But then that wouldn't make good TV. When we see Michael's true form it better still be wearing a bow tie. itry posted:The bad place could also subotage the experiments repeatedly and hope they give up? Janet didn't seem to care either way. But for bad Janets not caring is their whole thing. The Judge said anything else happens and Shaun is getting imprisoned. Well, she said she'd strap him to a chair and make him watch puppy videos, I assume she meant at least until this is over. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Oct 20, 2019 |

I assume I'm not alone in guessing that the wierd jar conversation with Jason last week was setup for a Jeremy Bearemy time travel bit where they have to sneak around the past. It reminded me a bit of a season of Doctor Who where a few wierd out-of-tone conversions and continuity flubs ended up being the Doctor from the finale going back into earlier episodes.Sloth Life posted:Reincarnation is the end game. All those resets for Team C and Janet, maybe Genny will decide that we all get a few do overs before being consigned to the dump of the afterlife. I've been thinking that that'd be a good way to deal with the kid issue, which they've been avoiding mentioning. 'Oh yeah, everyone who isn't an adult yet just gets sent around for another go.'

I gotta say, them just saying 'oh I gave Elenor and Tahani their full memories back' kinda felt really skipped-over. Like, we've never seen them with more than a single version of memories, even eleanor only got a few glimpses in season 3, and now they got the full three hundred years back offscreen? I was expecting that to be a big deal, them remembering themselves doing things over and over and over and assimilating all the versions. You'd think it'd have a huge effect on their behavior and who they are.

Guy A. Person posted:I still think they made a major, major misstep with how they set up the experiment and wonder if they are going to address it. Especially with Brent: not only did they not give him any reason to think he shouldn't be there, they further played it up by implying to him he was one of the select few with the potential to go to Super Heaven. How is this guy at all supposed to think he needs to become a better person, except that the kind of people he wouldn't respect on earth are complaining to him? Part of me thinks that Brent should've learned that he was also a 'mistake', but he probably wouldn't have been able to deal with it gracefully enough to start taking lessons, he'd just have a huge tantrum in front of the whole neighborhood and think he knows better than heaven.

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.

This would be the doom for all humanity, but at the last minute Bad Janet, who will have read Michael and Janet's book, will Voltron together with Janet, forming a Mega-Janet that will overturn the entire system. Don't forget to include super-upgraded Derek.

BioEnchanted posted:I like the neutral Janets' zombie like stances. It's amazing that the manifesto seems to have even made them care enough about something to do something. Well, Bad and Neutral may have bad attitudes, but they're still some of the smartest beings alive, and presumably believe they act in accordance with the afterlife system being just by their very design. A few thousand pages laying out solid evidence why it's not is exactly what you'd need, more than any appeals to emotion. Especially with the non-super-rebooted Janets that haven't developed enough to make moral judgements on their own. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Nov 16, 2019 |

He mentioned he specifically picked out Tahani because her pride made her ideal for the experiment. There's probably a pool of arrivals floating in suspension that architects divvy up. We know architects don't normally go to the neighborhoods, Michael was complaining about that when he came up with the idea for the experiment. They take files, draw up tortures to match them, and send them along. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Nov 29, 2019 |

I don't think they'd do that because we've invested a lot into Michael's development and story as a character and it'd be unsatisfying at this point to just go 'nah it was all acting'. It's not like the end of Season 1 where he was still a bit of an NPC.

There's also the idea that maybe this isn't the perfect solution, sure. Maybe they can come up with ways so that nobody actually needs the new door. They've got infinity to work on it, and this team works well with new problems. They've always flown from stopgap to stopgap, maybe this is just another stopgap, one to let existence hold on while they figure out what else they can do, because figuring out what the next solution will be never ends. Like Michael was saying, once you take on responsibility for something so monumental it's sisyphean, they're gonna keep rolling that boulder up a hill.
