I want him on every show. He’s a forking genius.

Any chance we can persuade them to do an interquel where every new series is a few dozen or so of the 800 iterations?
I’m glad Shawn has cemented, once and for all, that PewDiePie is a piece of shit.
I’m glad Michael restored their memories, cause there was so much growing and bonding between them in first season that I always loved.
G stands for “Graphic,” so it should take that G sound!
I recently rewatched the B99 episode where Jake had to stay with Kevin in the safehouse and I gotta say, they really need to make Marc Evan Jackson a series regular already.
All the things they say to each other during the funerals really feels like these are people who have known each other for hundreds of years and hundreds of versions and care about each other so much.
May I point out that Janet, who knows everything, pronounced Gif with the “G” sound, showing for once and for all that this is how it’s pronounced.
I really liked Tahani and Eleanor eulogizing each other, Eleanor telling Tahani she was the best friend she ever had & she loved her, and Tahani telling Eleanor that she made her feel seen ... even though all the compliments about her appearance were a little problematic.
Holy crap Crisis of Infinite Janets is happening in the judge’s chambers.
Luckily for the Soul Squad everyone else seems to have made improvements. Simone defends other people’s feelings like they’re real. Chidi has tried some new things like dancing (and fighting). And John has kept a secret. He had to be bribed with learning that Magic Mike dance but he he did keep it.
I think this is one interesting view, while there’s also the other straightforward view of white male entitlement that when you do a thing you deserve praise and acclaim. Like, if you put enough nice coins into a woman then sex is supposed to fall out. Or just basically how mediocre white men seem to fail upward while…
Him golfing without the automatic win feature on shows he wants to be better, at golf so that's unimportant, but he's actually trying. When he could just as easily go back to pretending he's great and living in denial.
I think it’s just an indication of the type of awful Brent’s book is- these people do Richard Nixon speeches for karaoke.
Except I think that the show was siding with Simone over Eleanor and Michael. After all, Bront only seemed to show growth when he did face pushback
Janet’s void is actually a giant round white room. Equally torturous to be in, but the green room Jameela described in last week’s ep was used to film different scenes.
I’m glad Perkins highlighted Brent’s “I accomplished something!” moment, but I think it was important, on both a character and thematic level. I won’t be surprised if we find out that Brent’s book was, literally, the only thing he ever accomplished - that he skated through life on his dad’s name and knew it, even if…
One of the fascinating things in this episode was the idea that Brent’s incapacity for empathy may be rooted in his lack of experience with adversity. When you go through your entire life with other people shielding you from the consequences of your actions, you’re shielded from the vital experiences that cultivate…
From the podcast, apparently Janet’s “void” is actually a giant green room that is torturous to be in. There’s no real transition between ceilings, walls, and corners so it’s incredibly disorienting to the actors.
I would argue the experiment is going very well, because not only are some of the new humans actually improving (six months ago, John absolutely would have spread that hot goss, and he successfully keeps it in), but the old humans have gone from desperation to actively trudging onward, despite dire circumstances.
