Emissions are uniform per gallon of gas burned, not the time that your engine is running.  So if your fuel economy goes down, your emissions go up.  And driving faster certainly does decrease your fuel economy because of aerodynamics.

Most rural places, that’s exactly what happens between certain hours they just go to flashing yellow for the dominant direction, flashing red for non-dominant. If they're not doing it for an intersection, it's probably been deemed to have too much traffic.

Neutral: Redlights

I’m gonna go with Occam’s Razor and say the answer is “She’s 56"

Michael is the Wizard (i.e., an ultimately kind-hearted deceitful fraud), and Janet is Glinda (i.e., the one with all the actual magical power). I like it.

I feel like that should have been the focus of the episode, rather than the concept of finality. Because I couldn’t buy that people would get bored of the green doors of endless possibility, but I could easily buy that people would be dissatisfied with experiencing all of that alone.

she got horrifically mutilated and murdered by a mob around 415 AD

The nature of reality is such that every so often someone reinvents Newhart

And Michael and Janet are based off the Jacksons. Which would be the worst fan theory ever. 

Chidi will be reincarnated as Bobby Newport and Eleanor will be reincarnated as Shauna Malwae-Tweep.

I mean, it probably doesn’t help that no one before the bad place crew had people that they LOVED or CARED about in The Good Place, which seems to be brought up by both Patty and Chidi at the end. What’s the good behind eternal paradise if there’s no one to share it with that you care about?

So Chidi is the Cowardly Lion (courage), Jason is the Scarecrow (brains), Tahani is the Tin Man (heart), and Eleanor is Dorothy (home)? I know Schur has denied that the Wizard of Oz references were conscious but it does kind of work. 

They already had that with the green doors that could take you to any time or any place, real or imaginary and it wasn’t enough. 

They should be arrested for filming in portrait mode....

Counterpoint: there’s nothing wrong with driving an older but reliable and well maintained car in order to keep costs down but vehicle ownership can be used as a measure of personal responsibility. If you’re using a death trap as primary transportation despite being paid well enough to not be driving a death trap I’m…

That doesn’t sound like it still works.

I’m all for being frugal and driving old cars, but that Impala sounds like a rolling hazard to you, everyone else on the road, and the environment. A well-maintained old car is one thing, but a dangerous crap can is a whole other matter.

Bad fake. It’s all over the place, starting with credit checks then vaguely making a segue into a car critique without referencing any specific policy or making plans to discuss.

IMO.
