If he talked about it in the past tense in the afterlife, then it was already well and truly done before he got in the safe. 

Ah, I see. Yeah, there should be a flat salary ranking... Although, it makes me wonder why Pompeo doesn’t have more endorsements... Cuoco had a travel site for a while, right? But nothing as big as Vergara’s Pepsi work or Head and Shoulders (talk about an odd couple pairing!)

(ETA: I always looked at the H&S…

They are like the balloon hem skirts that were so big about 10 years ago....

Reminded me of Saoirse’s Calvin Klein Oscar gown from the year she was in Brooklyn, which I think I like better for the swirling designs at the bottom

Will Ellen Pompeo’s new deal change that soon, though? There was all the fanfare about her being the highest paid anything ever or something... 

I like that. That’s good. I’m in. 

They treated Ann Curry worse than this. Megyn Kelly at least deserves to be treated worse than Ann Curry.

Just here to be the person who says, since Jason framed Donkey Doug’s girlfriend for bougie board theft before his death, it would have happened in both timelines, because the new timeline started just before the moment he died. He had already gotten into that fight. (I have chosen to believe that Donkey Doug rejoined…

I’ve never seen these editions of MWM to be about the teen stars, but about the eternal repackaging of white heteronormative social mores, now with more “girlboss” extra capitalizm. 

I thought it was talking about the internal lubrication of the condom?

Yes. His determination to “undermine” the tropes of fantasy storytelling has painted him into an incredibly sad corner. As a writer, I cannot fathom letting yourself get so far into a project without knowing the final image. It’s literally all that matters, the last image you leave for a reader.
To make cohesive sense,…

Given the many unnecessary threads in the books, I disagree heartily with that assessment. The books were the rough draft. They needed a stronger editor, who should have demanded a thorough timeline and plot summary - where are we going, George, and are half of these roads leading no where? - and the show had the…

In thinking a bit more about it, they were working with rather pure motives in their immediate-post-saved times, and during the study (at least as far as Eleanor is concerned), as well. She never explicitly said she wanted to be better for any kind of moral deserts. She wanted the little voice in her head to shut up.…

yikes.

She’s so serious! 

OK so I was thinking this morning: Eleanor and Jason usually had the most time in Chidi Ethics Camp in each iteration of the Bad Place because they were aware they didn’t belong and needed to learn. Chidi and Tahani usually thought they belonged, until the big reveal. And we never really got to see their reactions,…

What’s most incredible to me is the potential for them to sow exponential good. Eleanor’s plan isn’t just for Team Cockroach to do good, but to inspire and lead and coach other people to do good enough to get to the Real Good Place. Think of the dividends!! 

It’s the innate suspicion of dishonest people. “If I’m up to no good, and lying about it, everyone else is probably up to no good as well, and also lying.”

^ appropriate reaction :) 

that’s debatable.
