She has an epiphany about how to get the gang (Michael included, and this Janet comes along) into the Good Place, and keep them there. Cocaine does that for her.

It reminded me a bit of the X-Files episode that showed Cigarette Smoking Man’s past, where they winked at Buffalo losing four Super Bowls in a row by having CSM determined to keep the Bills from winning the Super Bowl for some unknown reason, no matter how bad the Bills wanted it. Along with, you know, killing JFK…

The classic album “Damn the Torpedoes” has nine songs, and not a good one in the bunch. By which I mean, every song is, at a bare minimum, really good, if not absolutely great. But my favorite is “You Tell Me”, a bluesy rocker that has as good a combo of Campbell/Petty guitars with Tench’s keyboard as you’ll ever…

My favorite of many hidden gems on that album is “Supernatural Radio”, which features an incredible guitar break in the middle, then blows that away on the outro, with Petty yelling over Mike Campbell’s epic guitar things like “100 million watts!” and “I can hear Jesus singing!”

I can’t get enough of Jason’s yelling “Bortles!” like me and other Packer fans would yell out “Rodgers!” Hilarious, with an undercurrent of sadness.

Is Jason somehow going to be right the magic panda being the key?

Having one of her sister’s celebrated artworks hanging on the wall in their cramped little home was a perfect little torture/callback to last season.

Michael screwed up by telling Eleanor she was going to give a big speech, since it was too obviously an opportunity for her to spill some beans. They should have just plied her with drinks, and even truthfully told her that there’s no hangovers in the Good Place. Then sprung the surprise that she won “Best Person”…

He can learn quite a few things about how humans torture each other from that show.

When Michaels described his “retirement” by comparing it to his pinata, but instead of his waist, of course the rope is tied around his genitals. Chidi’s low, drawn-out “Whaaattt?” while looking down and side-to-side was great. It doubled as an exasperated “Oh, come on!”

I had just finished up my Season 1 rewatch before the Season 2 premiere, and I saw Glenn (is he still called that?) sitting at the table when Michael was pitching his self-torture “Good Place”. Before they were interrupted by the too-apologetic lava demon.

That’s too much, man!

Whoah, looks like she’s cold. Because of the ice water dumped on her head, obviously.
