Eh, B/B-. This all felt kind of rushed. They arrive at the Good Place, they find out what’s wrong, and they fix it (supposedly) almost immediately. Given how many episodes were devoted to the experiment at the beginning of the season and the dilemma of how to design a new evaluation system, it feels weird that our…

Its almost like the people in charge of the Av Club really, really suck. :(

And it’s looking even more likely that they’re totally backtracking on Sophie not wanting kids. Sorry all you people who genuinely don’t want them, turns out you’re just freaks.

I don’t respect that.

I have a theory that every character Starr has ever played is the same person at different stages of their life.

Perd!

Ben Feldman is the most beautiful man on television.

I’m really looking forward to watching her dipshit bro of a son get eaten ALIVE by college.

She is not right. There’s also paint on the walls.
Still, I’d much rather live in a world without the Sistine Chapel then one without nachos.

I think Brent is there to prove how judgmental people can be. We think we know who is good and who is bad, who belongs in heaven or hell, but as far as I can tell, a guy like that has no reason not to think he belongs in the good place. We watched Season 1 thinking everyone belonged there but Eleanor, because she knew…

Eleanor and Michael reminds me of Leslie and Ron.

Nope. I’m more convinced than I was last week when it occurred to me.

A problem I see so far this season is that the experiment differs so much from the season 1 experiment. They’re trying to make the new souls (+ Chidi) realize they don’t belong and need to improve, but they all think they belong. Clearly they tried (and failed) this week to flip Brent with the chaos, but in Season 1,…

Yeah, this has a distinctly non-consensual feel to it. She is literally there as a requirement of her job. Kudos to her (i guess?) for being a good sport about it but it feels real yucky to watch the video of enormous men wearing face covering goggles drenching a single, totally unprotected woman with alcohol.

Something I don’t get. They’re clearly in their senior year. Already getting their admissions to college.

Peyton is waitlisted in the Pilot and yet somehow senior year student elections haven’t taken place. Even if he applied early decision, this means he’d be hearing on Dec 13th. It seems very odd for student elections to be happening in January. 

Regarding the abundance of deportation storylines. Three shows I watched did this last season: The Conners, Murphy Brown, and Superstore. The ones in Conners and Murphy Brown both felt like they were being included just to be, as you say, timely. The characters were secondary characters who we had barely gotten to…

Darlene covered this with Molly. One sister is a whore, the other eats herself “happy.”

Agreed. It’s common courtesy. I haven’t checked today’s stories to see if they did that, but I doubt it. Probably Danette will write an end-of-season review.

And then there’s that part where her train is delayed because of flooding on the tracks, but the engineer says it won’t take long.  Um, I’d think that if the tracks were flooded, that’s gonna take some time.  It’s like they can’t figure out if they want to make this a climate change ravaged dystopia, or IKEA’s wet…
