Jason Mantzoukas just got dumped by Rosa Diaz, landing ... whatever Janet is, is for sure a nice rebound, as much for him as for her.

ughh I totally thought the Janet-Eleanor convo was going to end with Eleanor being Janet’s rebound

Eh, I think it was better as a one-off. At least they’re seemingly going for the sort-of-anthology format, united only by the documentarian. It’s better than further following the same characters. They all got a perfect character-driven ending. Creating a direct sequel would be undoing the pathos of the season.

Here’s hoping they manage to somehow work in further installments of the hilarious Way Back Boys YouTube series, “Baby Farting”.

“Washington team.” Correct.

I guess I can tell you what it is since it’s not pertinent to the plot, but in that scene he becomes emotionally overwhelmed while watching the ending to A League of Their Own during the last game when Geena Davis intentionally loses the game so her little sister’s team would win and soak up the glory. Sure it’s an…

It was a bold strategy to make the the sequel several years before the original.

Excellent, I legitimately wanted to see 4 or 5 of these in theaters and didn’t get a chance. Looking forward to it now that I’m actually watching stuff more often.

As mentioned before, the whole point system is in itself inherently evil and should have been our first clue that they were not in the good place. So in that sense, the show has thoroughly burned that to the ground already.

From a Utilitarian perspective, the (presumably) obvious answer is that it is better that one (innocent and anonymous) person die than that five (equally innocent and anonymous) people die. But that scenario is just the jumping off point, as the show acknowledges. It gets less “obvious” when you start adding in other…

They could do a Theme Night, like they used to. Superstore, The Good Place, and Will & Grace each plot to kill baby Hitler, and then Great News reports which one succeeded...

Did you expect a Kierkegaard rap on cable tv?

Kill theb5 Shakespeares. Let Santa live.

I read both apologies exactly the same way. The first felt like “this is what I really want to say, but I don’t have the confidence to just say it...” where as the second one made me immediately think he was playing Chidi. Part of the brilliance of the show, and that bit of acting, is that we really don’t know which…

That was about my takeaway, too. Michael’s such a Russian nesting doll of sincerity and insincerity these days, it’s awfully hard to pin down for sure.

What I think are causing the glitches for Janet is that she’s not supposed to be able to lie, but she’s lying without even realizing she’s doing it.

The times she glitched:

Is the answer obvious though? I mean, it depends on how you look at it. If you change the track and kill the one guy, you’re directly responsible for his death, instead of the other guys who just have terrible luck. Unless you view inaction as a choice in and of itself, making you culpable if you don’t pull the lever.…

Dammit I wanted to be the one to make that correction.

I used to teach this version in my class. An alarming number of students chose to jump with the unfortunate rotund bystander, murder-suiciding themselves in order to avoid responsibility.

I can’t help but think what a disappointment The Expendables was (though it had a great Mickey Rourke monologue). TE2 on the other hand was marked improvement with Van Damme easily stealing the show.
