I kinda feel like I should trust the moral philosophers who consulted on the show to have had enough input on the finale to make it consistent? I certainly haven't read any philosophy, nor will I in all probability.

Agronox posted:Yeah, tbh she overacts here as if she’s still on SNL playing to the cheap seats. Drags down every scene she’s in on TGP. It’s really weird because as you say she’s good elsewhere. For a contrary opinion, I think her scenes on TGP are great.

Undead Hippo posted:Humans die, then go through a system of refinement and improvement until they have become the best version of themselves. Then go to a holiday resort for a few thousands years. Then choose to fade into nothingness. Because maybe a hundred (or less, or maybe a little more) years isn't long enough to really experience reality, but eternity is too long? That's what I interpreted it as, anyway.

I can't remember; was Gen made up of hydrogen or was she just named after it?

So is it okay if the writers basically said hey this is what happened to these people...use your imagination if you want more"? Since that's basically what most writers do for most stories.

PASS THE MASH posted:This related to nothing but you should read Brandon Sanderson’s stuff because his brain works the same way as yours I actually meant to say something about the difference between robust magic systems like he writes and plot magic systems like what gandalf does, and why stories that use the latter don't actually work for you if you want to pretend they're the former. I read an article about it but I can't remember where.

I gotta say I'm pretty sad about no episode tonight. Okay okay yeah we started rewatching and got through the first four episodes. Eleanor was clearly so much more attracted to Tahani though.

Just got to chidis choice on the rewatch. "It's my three favorite yogurts" I think will remain my favorite line from the show.

All of those are amazing of course, but one of Netflix's images for the show was three cups of yogurt and that just sticks with me.

Thranguy posted:Long term memory must have a hard limit somewhere. Howard Taylor actually went into this exact thing in Schlock Mercenary. "Eventually less was deemed new enough to warrant being put into long term memory. Soon, years went by without notice, and life started to lose meaning and value, at which point people had more wars." Then sci fi uploaded minds to a computer, etc etc.

zer0spunk posted:It does a weird halfway thing in that first season. When they start revealing more of the main 4's backstory and personality traits it becomes fairly obvious they aren't in the good place..but at the same time a lot of little things don't make much sense if they had that twist plotted out from the get-go as anything but audience misdirection..like one episode ending on the cliffhanger of the sinkhole expanding and michael and janet freaking out, alone. Which really doesn't make any sense given the reveal..like there's foreshadowing to get there but also misdirects, it's interesting. They made it very clear in the writer's room that Michael was under no circumstances allowed to be seen alone, because then he would just drop the act. Janet, however, counts as making him not-alone, remember.

zer0spunk posted:Oh neat, now I'm trying to remember if they explained that he snagged her in that first season or not in the reveal episode. If they didn't maybe I assumed she was "in" on it and glossed over that by the time they hit the reveal. Watching it back to back with no gap was intense, so many things happen at a breakneck speed (and then kinda spin the wheels a bit in s3)...overall I dug it (ted danson on earth was a great way to go out, sad they didn't pull a cheers gag) Season 2 early on. Shows Michael sneaking into the Janet warehouse and him talking with Shawn about why they need a good place janet (bad janet explodes when she tries to be nice instead of farting in people's faces).
