Henry’s in line to be the captain of the Whatever Team, and it sounds like they’re in contention to win the whole Wherever Division next year, so I’m sure the entire school knows him.

Running a troubled small business will make Philip miserable, but it won’t blow his cover. If anything, financial woes will make his travel agency (and by extension, the Jennings’ household) look more authentic, not less.

Yes, but the one thing that they do respect about Richard is his skill as a coder. They’ll have figured out by now that Gilfoyle is second only to Richard in that regard, and also that he’s not above inflicting vengeance for even the pettiest of slights (like turning down the volume on that alarm).

Right there with you. I’ve had “Oh the Bliss” stuck in my head all day, and I have to consciously restrain myself from humming it.

I kind of enjoy the kidnappings. I mean, it’s a bit absurd that the cult has the ability to knock you unconscious and take you prisoner any time it wants to. . .but nonetheless chooses to let you race around the county, blowing up their assets and bathing in their blood for days and days on end. . . but on the other…

I’m not sure why everyone is so down on this story’s plausibility. This is *Far Cry* Montana, not Montana. That is: it’s the Montana halfway around the world from a pacific island where superhuman powers are bestowed by magic tattoos. The *real* Himalayas aren’t ruled by a bizarre drug lord and infested with…

That deserves more credit than it’s gotten, since it’s a rare flicker of true brilliance among the current writers of the show. For all the ink that’s been spilled on critiquing (and defending) the plausability -even in a zombie apocalypse- of a group of “Star Trek Garbage People,” I don’t remember ever once reading a…

I was ambivalent about the poster feature at first, but the game’s ability to create deliriously cheesy images won me over the first time I lost a soldier I cared about enough to click “Memorialize”. The result was a black and white Soviet Realist poster of her, standing arms akimbo, with the Avenger flying straight…

I didn’t catch the language issue, but I don’t think it’s a plot hole. The characters couldn’t have actually been returned to the real world to continue living their original lives, because rolling back the timeline like that would effectively undo the choices made by everyone else on Earth since their deaths, which…

True- they even established Jason’s penchant for this tactic in his backstory.

They did in Season One. The main arc of the last few episodes was Eleanor working out the mechanics of how to legitimately get 1.3 million points. . .although that was apparently just her figuring out Michael’s *fake* mechanic, since the only way to get real points is to behave virtuously on Earth.

“Bring me the NASCAR Ketchup!”

Not necessarily. Michael could frame it as a feature: “Allowing you to reach your ideal age, which is different for everyone.” Letting Eleanor age up to 109 while keeping Tahini forever young and beautiful (or vice versa) would be an especially exquisite form of torture. Chidi and Jason would probably be immune to it,…

Funny thing about Jason. As commenters have observed on several occasions, a lot of his stupidity is eerily sharp. . .and he’s “accidentally” saved the day almost as many times as Eleanor has on purpose.

For story purposes, I think time would have to pass on earth much more slowly than it does in the afterlife. That leaves open the option of having the characters return to earth to make amends for their crimes against all the secondary characters from their backstory (or, in Tahani’s case, to settle scores with them),…

Crap. I thought I was shocking the thread by bringing up the musical and the fact that it was written by Miranda. . . but I should have known that someone here would have already mentioned it.

Although it’s not technically a movie, the cultural apex of this franchise was actually Bring it On: the Musical, which ran on Broadway for . . .well, a little while, anyway.

It’s worth mentioning that we left the group as they were bound for “Bad Place CENTRAL”, and not a functioning Bad Place neighborhood. We’ve already seen the place in Michael’s flashbacks, and it’s basically just a 1920s-era office building, with a Lava Monster or two hanging out by the copy machine.

That’s fair. But at the risk of being REALLY pedantic, bottle episodes usually do have the entire main cast present, since they’re mostly about exploring the characters and their interactions with each other through dialogue, but as you rightly point out, the use of multiple sets is a legitimate point of inconsistency…

Surprising that nobody’s mentioned Eleanor’s request for a whole bunch of bottles in the midst of a bottle episode. . .
