I think the fact that it was so mundane was what made it so impactful and really hit home. If he had died from just getting shot, that would have been extremely tragic, but there's nothing worse than seeing something like this that could actually happen to you one day.

With how much thought they clearly put into this episode, I'm convinced the coming episodes, especially the flashbacks, will be some of the show's finest stuff. Hell, just that snippet of Jane in bed with Alba was almost too hard to watch.

I hope that this show is smarter than putting Jane and Rafael together. That will really bother me at this point. I used to like them together, but I just don't think it would be good or satisfying at this point.

Okay that sounds right. Thank you. Though part two to three was shown to be tonight, not Michael getting shot

I asked that same thing. I think he mentioned it in this season's premiere, but I can't for the life of me remember.

This episode really reaffirmed my absolute adoration for this show. It's still 54 episodes in without a bad episode, but it was becoming a little rinse, wash, repeat there for a second, so this is exactly the kind of jump start the show needed to move forward. I really love when a show sticks to its guns and lets…

THIS FINALE WAS INCREDIBLE.

That's exactly what I'm saying though, that it's interesting seeing shows with a similar mythology employ their twists very differently. With Westworld, you are very openly invited to try and solve the puzzle, whereas in The Good Place, there's a puzzle there, and people theorize about it, but not in the same way as…

I'm pretty certain that every single thing Janet said tonight made me laugh extensively. I could watch D'Arcy Carden as Janet read the phonebook and it would be entertaining

I loved Eleanor's comment about Tahani in one of the earlier episodes about "how could someone like her end up in the good place?" Without realizing the actual implications of a question like that. The answer really was staring us in the face this whole time.

I actually always got the tail end of every episode cut off. My DVR would basically cut off as soon as the credits were done, even though scenes would go on 15 seconds beyond them or so (which made the Jianyu=Jason reveal very confusing at first).

What an absolutely fucking brilliant finale. No fork necessary.

Out of curiosity, how does that make him more of a fool? Looking towards the camera and breaking the fourth wall has always been a sign of intelleigence that shows they know more than the other people in the room, so if anything, it makes him seem less of a fool to me. While I did really enjoy his performance, I can…

I hadn't thought about that, and I don't doubt they'll do us wrong. I'm very excited to see how this show plays out in the long run (I heard that they've already pretty much scripted season 2 which is great). The less those child actors age, the better.

I rewatched the movie in preparation recently and found I liked it decidedly less than I remembered. I love how Snicket is integrated in the show vs the movie (and, weirdly enough, I love Warburton way more than Law, which I didn't see happening). Also, I like that the show's color palette isn't afraid to go bright,…

That's what I meant. Damn fast typing hands that type too fast while trying to get back to the show.

There were a number of reaction shots of Sunny that gave me a good laugh, but probably my favorite part was the running joke of the adults saying "when I was your age," then the kids saying "We're not the same age!" I don't remember that being from the books, but it's a perfect encapsulation of how the series views…

If I had one complaint about this goegeous, incredible, wonderful first episode it's that last scene with the parents. I understand the temptation to have the mystery of having them alive, but this series can't actually be this series if it ends with a happy ending with them reuniting with their parents.

Came here to say the same thing, but you already beat me to it. Here's the link for proof though.

What can I say, I like my book facts.
