They made it very clear that Janets (and Derek, I assume) cannot use their powers in The Medium Place, including phasing in and out of the Void. Janet complains about needing to walk in one episode.

He came back with bits about how social media outrage is bad (which might be true, but like, consider the source) and didn’t address the elephant in the room otherwise, so I don’t think he’s done much reflecting. I’ve also heard other stories about him that are worse than this. They haven’t been journalistically…

Didn’t the girl who accused him get called out for just describing what most would consider a shitty date and that all contact was consensual?

I think it hurts his career as his shtick is that he’s a nice guy who’s unlucky with women. We now have a bit more insight of why he’s unlucky with women and his act doesn’t really seem that funny.

There’s a reason why you’re buried in the greys.

The whole takeaway from the babe.net story should have been Aziz is sadly pushy when it came to this woman and it can be pretty gray when it comes to consent

This made me picture what I hope the end of the series will look like:

Despite what all the yahoos on here will say, the woman from the Ansari story was not raped or sexually assaulted. She admitted up front that everything was consensual and that he did ultimately stop when she asked him to. However,the bigger issue that piece hit on was that A). there’s clearly a huge grey area between…

There have been three takes on this.

“UGh! I’m so angry women are still complaining about how they’re treated!”

“Oh my god, Asiz Ansari is the worst person ever!”

“Wait, could the concept of what sexual assault is exist in a gray area and could many men in western-society have been in said area and not even realized it?”

This is fine. But Jameela Jamil just tweeted this and now I really want Stephanie Beatriz from B99 to guest star on The Good Place

If someone could give me a one sentence instruction on how to feel that would be great.

Peter Singer isn’t only a vegan and moral philosopher, he’s also a utilitarian. Probably the most well-known and influential utilitarian of the past 50 years, so a very appropriate pick for an episode about the pitfalls of utilitarianism.

I wonder what happened to those two?  We only heard the altercation when Shawn’s goons interrupted them mid windchime coitus.

I loved that one of the first things Chris did was to take his shirt off. Like he always did. Although I have to wonder how his actor audition went “and then you will take you shirt off in every scent you are in”.

No, Derek was with Mindy St Clair, remember?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone so infectiously gloat about being RIGHT! as Joel’s dad.

lol i’m a Jewish woman with a Master’s degree in television writing. i got the show just fine, i just didn’t care for it. thanks for the expert analysis though.

Obscenity laws were sufficiently broad back then that, yes, they could be applied to public performances of that sort. Lenny Bruce was arrested multiple times over the course of his career for excessive profanity. Obscenity laws collapsed from the 1960s onward.

Why are you posting all this in what is supposed to be an individual episode thread?

holy paragraph breaks, Batman.
