I wish we had gotten some hints about what is next before the mid-season break

Wait wait what? I thought Episode 10 was going to be the last episode so I just got all caught up on the season... I'm gonna have to wait for more like some kind of jerk? :gonk:

To be fair wasn't it only this most recent iteration of The Good Place where Michael let Eleanor (and now Chidi) remember ALL of their past runs/interactions, so every time they fell for each other was basically the first time all over again?

The moment that always stands out to me is Jason figuring out they're in The Bad Place and Michael going,"....oh this one hurts...."

I remember someone speculating earlier in the thread that Chidi would bring up the veil of ignorance as part of the solution. I really like the idea and I hope it happens.

It worked for Doctor Who, it can work for the ultimate resolution of good and evil throughout the universe!

Eleanor weepingly telling Chidi she's a legit snack is right up there for me, alongside Michael's pained reaction to the time Jason is the one who figures out they're in the Bad Place.

Also while Jason deciding to be an eternal monk would have been neat, it means we would have lost,"CHIDI, WAIT UP!" and that's not a universe that should exist :colbert:

It's me. I'm the person who likes things people hated.

As I recall, plenty of people here in TVIV absolutely LOVED Lost right up until the bitter end? I disliked large portions of the show but I actually really dug the final episode v:shobon:v

The Good Place did "the cast departs serenely into the unknown" a billion times better though.

It always amused me to hear them saying that the actors geting DUIs had nothing to do with them being written off, it just so happened that every actor who had a DUI was playing a character that was ALWAYS intended to be written off about that time, what a coincidence!

I was lucky in that I just gave up on the show early on, then as the final season was ramping up in the public consciousness I was able to binge through the seasons so stuff that bugged me I could immediately move past to the next episode instead of having to wait a week (or sometimes months if it was a new season, or some dumb mid-season break) and I caught up roughly in time for the final episode. That may be why a bunch of storyline hooks/plot points getting dropped didn't bother me as much, I guess, because I didn't have the emotional investment in them that others had worked up only to see them go absolutely nowhere.

Why the gently caress they didn't just shoot Ben on any of the 412 opportunities they had still drove me mad though.

I love how Walt was important or wait no he wasn't.

He was EXTREMELY important... to early memes of his dad screaming words that rhymed with Walt :colbert:

Eleanor would remind you that you can always watch Steve Austin hit Vince McMahon with a bedpan :shobon:
