Well, Chidi and chicken soup guy both seemed to have the correct favorite food at the restaurant, so presumably they're fine.

Ooh, Pushing Daisies is a good comparison. The closest approximate I could think of (like one of the episode reviews mentioned, I think) was Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but I think PD is more apt.

That's good to hear. Last week I was a bit worried that ethics professor Chidi was going to be written by read-the-Wikipedia-page-on-ethics TV writers. (Kinda like whenever a psychologist pops up on TV and gives the SparkNotes version of Freudian psych.)

I'm really wondering why Chidi, who spent his whole life thinking about ethics, isn't bothered by that, and why he seems to fully believe that the Good Place algorithm is "infallible." He should be questioning the hell out of that algorithm if he wants to have any credibility philosophy-wise.

Don't British people call them "braces"? I don't think it's a "chips" situation, where the word "suspenders" means something different in the UK, but maybe I'm wrong.

I don't know, in California at least it's possible to meet plenty of Filipino dudebros in the wild. Could just be a coincidence.

Maybe Jason himself is too dumb to find it embarrassing, so it doesn't count?

What I've been wondering since the pilot: was the ex-boyfriend who showed up to Eleanor's death scene the other Eleanor's ex-boyfriend, or our Eleanor's?

That's your dream!

For me it was "Shut up you bitch, I love you." I have definitely said that exact phrase to my friends while drunk.

Well they didn't REALLY sabotage the sorority sisters' chances of registering to vote—there's nothing stopping the girls from going down to the courthouse or whatever and doing it themselves once they sober up.

Is the UK version worth it? I watched a clip on YouTube from the Great Fire of London episode and was surprised by how…unfunny it was. Like not even remotely amusing. Not sure whether it was mainly a narrator or re-enactor problem (though I'd lean toward the former), but it was definitely disappointing, especially

I definitely thought the payoff to that was going to be Nick writing old-timey steamy erotic letters to Reagan rather than incorporating select phrases from Winston's Latvian cards into phone sex.

It makes sense for words that begin with a SILENT "h," like "hour," because that's basically the same thing as beginning with a vowel. But it drives me crazy when I see "an historian," which I do far too often.

Definitely heard Jenny Slate's voice in the season four trailer, so good news there! Her two previous segments are two of my favorites.

Drunk Jess and Cece were delightful. They nailed the mannerisms perfectly.

Nasim Pedrad's total commitment to the the-Japanese-are-bombing-us! premise was the biggest laugh of the episode for me.

Sounds like somebody's never seen The Parent Trap!

Actually, screw LeBlanc: if Chris Evans (the right one!) brought Jenny Slate along, I'd be a very happy camper.

Normal people are a myth.
