I want a scene where the original four are finally sent to the real Bad Place and are preparing to be tortured. Tahani at the hot dog stuffing factory, of course. And the demons who are supposed to torture them just can’t do it because they had the manifesto read to them in short 140 character tweets (the Bad Place…

I don’t think soulmates exist. But Chidi only wants them to be real because then he gets love without having to make a choice. Without having to decide to love someone. Wanting a soulmate is such a Chidi thing. He’s a romantic who doesn’t want to ever make a choice. 

Excellent point about Simone and Chidi. I do want to see their relationship go on because they deserve it.
I was glad that it looked like Brent was going to change, because he is one of the toughest nuts to crack. He is so self-centered you want to say, ‘Screw it, let him die.” But one of the things that we want the…

I mean, I wouldn’t use that as an example simply because someone telling you that you’re their soulmate can definitely seem creepy and possessive and way more committed than you want to be. Her “I like you” seemed to me like a “whoa, back off, I don’t know if I want to spend eternity with you”. It wasn’t even an “I…

I think a much more realistic possibility- and the type this show wouldn’t be afraid of doing- would be not exactly an apology, but a moment of honesty that’s the logical point between realization and actually apologizing.

The experiment failed. But the book that Michael gave Bad Janet is going to convince Shawn and the evil gang that Michael is right.

Absolutely, and tied to the relatability is the costume. Someone (probably Stan Lee, but I don’t feel like looking it up) pointed out that the full body and mask costume essentially made it so that it could be anyone underneath.  And it doesn’t hurt that the costume is, aesthetically, the greatest one ever created.

I honestly think it’s a brilliant bit of satire, myself. In theory, you’re rewarded for good deeds, and penalized for bad deeds. But there appears to be no cut-off in the causal chain. In law, there’s actually a doctrine which deals with this. The Good Place is essentially relying on a particularly punitive form of…

(+1 falsifiability)

Simone probably was turning back around right as it ended*. *fingers crossed so humans have a shot at the Good Place.

Yeah, it’s . . . hard to like Brent, or even care. But man, that sudden, yawning realization and repeated “no no no”’s. It was an existential crisis packed into one horrified moment, and played entirely straight. It was, however necessary, a nevertheless completely merciless moment.

Credit to Brett’s actor. His moment of realization was so well executed that I actually felt bad to see the hurt on his face.

When Michael was warning the humans that without his human suit he’s a hideous tentacle monster I became convinced he’d eventually be forced to loose the suit only to reveal that he’s an angel now, compete with wings and glittery halo. After today’s episode I’m convinced he’ll have a halo and finally be able to…

It’s a variation on the Mindy St. Claire situation. Mindy only reached the Medium Place because her absolute last act was to perform the very first step of an expansive project to earn lots of Good Place points, and they couldn’t figure out how to allocate the points properly.

Brent’s breakdown at the end was surprisingly emotional and heartbreaking! We’ve all had those moments where we’ve had a sudden realization that we’re being the jackass in some situation and it’s never a fun thing to go through, it can be tough and hard to deal with. So to see him realize that he’s not just a jackass…

This episode showed why Simone wasn’t right for Chidi. Eleanor would have stayed to help Chidi because she loves him. The furthest Simone can go is to respect his position. I thought it was a really great subversion. And can I just have Chidi and Eleanor back plz for awhile before the end? In a really great way I…

I get it with Spider-Man being #1. His allure is that he’s the most relatable superhero. He’s not a billionaire or an alien god, he’s a New York kid who got dealt a superhero hand and is suddenly thrust with this large personal duty (ok, fine.... GREAT RESPONSIBILITY) while still going through the life things we do as…

Well, duh. It’s been established the Spider-Man is single most popular and profitable superhero. When you total up sales for everything (comics, movies, TV, merchandising), ol’ webhead is number one. And don’t think Marvel doesn’t know it which is why this Sony deal is such a pain in their asses.

NOTE: in all cases, the universe still most likely expands forever and ends in heat death. No one universe shape changes this assumption.

The most simplistic way would be imagine an ant on the outside of a balloon, and you keep inflating the balloon.

A closed system would mean you would eventually run out of breath to blow up the balloon and all the air would leak back out.

An open system would mean you could blow up the balloon forever, put it will…
