Yeah, like in the previous episode where he couldn’t see how stealing bread to feed your family could be an ethical gray area because he knew it would be an automatic -17 points, or -18 if it was a baguette since it’s more French. We can’t trust everything Michael says but I don’t think he’d be lying there.

It could still work, with the other theory that whoever’s in charge of the Good Place really just wants the Bad Place abolished because the system is unfair/they want people to be redeemed. Though it does seem convoluted for this all to be someone else’s doing—they somehow found out about Michael’s design, let him…

I think “artificial human created by an artificial human that only barely understands the concept of humanity” is the role Jason Mantzoukas was born to play. The problem with Rafi and Adrian Pimento is that they had to be human.

If the previous series was about the growth of the 4 humans, this series is about the growth of Michael. I think they are assuming that we’ll take for granted the humans are growing like we saw in season 1. As of now I’ll give them that. They’ve earned the chance to do a little short hand from time to time. However I…

D’Arcy Carden is truly a gift to us all!

This was the first episode of this hilarious show to actually choke me up. It was practically a two-hander bottle episode with brief, great cameos from the rest of the cast. And it was fantastic, because Ted Danson and Darcy Carden are fantastic together. I binged the whole first season last week, and it only…

The neutral pocket dimension beneath a shapeless time void just happened to be unguarded? Michael can blame it on good being stupid all he wants, but my theory is The Good Place knows exactly what Michael is up to and is letting him do it to see if he can become a better not person.

Kara not using ranged abilities against enemies that are only dangerous up close continues to be my pet peeve. I get why they don’t have her just heat vision them or fly into them at max speed—it would be visually boring and feel pretty cheap, and then the episode would be over—but it doesn’t make it any less annoying…

Kara’s attitude regarding humans is beginning to remind me of the “heroes” on Inhumans who can’t not go an episode without saying humans suck in front of humans.

Kara should give Lena another gift, acquired from an alternate Earth: the book “How not to be a CEO,” co-authored by Oliver Queen, Felicity Smoak, and Ray Palmer (dedicated to the late Isabel Rochev)

Kara is a way better brooder than Barry.

I think Kara’s going to be back to normal next episode. She seemed to be at the end of this episode anyway.

I loved that they cribbed from two of my favorite shots of Superman Returns when Kara was floating over National City listening for trouble and then when she stopped the mini-gun, though without the cool bullet bouncing off the eyeball.

I didn’t think it was a bad movie, but I also didn’t really come out of it feeling like there was much of a point to it. To start off though, I’m not really the biggest fan of the original either. I recognize this film is a good continuation of the original story, but other than being that I kind of left feeling like,…

I also suspect its low take might be because it’s simply not a very good movie. It’s not awful, but it’s long, slow, and devoid of the noir claustrophobia and nervous energy and tension of the original. BR2049 desperately needed the zing of a Rutger Hauer or William Sanderson to give it a live wire; plodding silently…

Yes, being a bigoted piece of shit is wrong, of course.

I liked the episode but I do feel like Rick’s speech was a bit too much. It all sounds like him rationalizing his assholery in a deeply self-serving fashion (“it’s not MY fault that I’m so much better than everyone!”) and the show keeps letting this slide.

It would be great if you could zero in on an actual point. From what I gather, optimism is bad, and Nazis deserve a seat at the table? Do better to make a point.

“I was traumatized, Summer, okay? Your generation wouldn’t get that.”

Tbh, kinda felt like a big misfire to me. Tossing the entire main cast into the apathy boat, then leaning into the “misery through intelligence” bullshit they’ve been lampshading in a way that certain fans will inevitably take at face value... like a “worst of” episode compilation.
