There's a genocide documentary in which a Rwandan genocide perpetrator is asked how people there could have killed their long-time neighbors (including children/babies) en masse like that; was it a kind of frenzied mass hysteria?

I think that's why I it took me a while to trust the writers. Even to the end I feel like I was waiting for the "ok, so this is a "medium" show after all" shoe to drop. I'm so used to this kind of thing having holes and cliches and hand-waving and, I guess just not being so well thought through or executed, that I…
I love Janet! Janet for president!
I was legit scared. Very effective.
Yes! That's so Medium Place! How about:
Yeah, salvation and redemption are pretty common ideas. Surely there are some merciful Good Place beings just looking for people "ready" to be saved from the Bad Place. There's no telling now what is really true about how the afterlife works and what was a lie from Michael.
It's okay, Chidi. I too have been retroactively nervous about a decision I've already made. In fact, Chidi is basically an exaggerated version of myself, apparently. And perhaps not as exaggerated as I'd like to admit. I shall try to learn from Michael's fro-yo lesson and Chidi's death/best man experience.
Just a heads up: Don't be surprised if they become a super hero based on their fear after this… or from all the radioactive spider bites.
Like the traveling Wilburys of pain.
My goal in life, especially my goal for old age, is to be Betty White.
Golden Girls is the best. I still can't believe how amazingly well that show holds up (other than the odd reference to a back-then-celebrity). What other show is about older women? And it's still so funny.
The final line in Rogue One, spoken by Princess Leia: "Hope."
;_;
And I as well.
Yeah, the other day I was telling my coworkers what a bad year it was for famous-people deaths, "…except for Carrie Fisher. It tried but she didn't go."
2014: Hmm…I know! The Middle-East! People thought it couldn't get any worse, hah! Let's play a game called "Destroying Syria and Iraq." That'll get the death toll flying!
It truly is the Darkest Timeline.
Carrie Fisher was supposed to come to my town next week. Just saw the ad. :(
My cat is basically codependent. I don't know how I'm supposed to leave him for any extended period. :/
I get the joke, but I'm just gonna take this moment to remind people out there not to try and "cure" their friends and family with phobias by forcing the object of their phobia on them. That's…not what 'exposure therapy' is, and can actually make things much worse. /PSA
