That’s the way I remember it too. When Eleanor asked where Mindy’s place was, Janet said that she was out-of-range and didn’t know, so they walked around a bit until they found the house. In fact, the only reason that Michael and Shawn were able to get in touch with them all was by using Bad Janet as a sort of…

First, I want to give credit where credit is due. Mad respect to those of you that called it that Michael would team up with Eleanor and co.

Correction to one aspect of Point #1 since I can’t seem to edit the original post — apparently the “can we bite them” demon is named Chuck, not Gunther. So either I have confused him with whoever played Gunther in season 1 or the part of Gunther is played by Chuck, because Chuck’s how he was referred to by Michael…

First, apologies if some (or all) of what’s below has been covered by others. I am still trying to get a hang of this new system which has me vexed, truly vexed. It doesn’t seem as if you can sort by the most recently added comment and for some reason I need to keep loading additional comments at the bottom of the…

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what I understand Michael’s understanding of humans to be. Other than the fact that he has watched all of Friends (and I believe started on The Golden Girls) for some general frame of reference, it seems like he has a “I took a weekend seminar on Human Behavior 101 and now I…

Agreed re: Schur. I have not seen any of his other programs, so I can’t tell if what he has done here is par for the course or his chance to really shine and show off just how great he is.

New to this format (used to Disqus) and didn’t realize posts couldn’t be deleted. Meant as a test, disregard.

True, but that's too vague for me.

Still, though? Couldn't the person developing a new program now skip that step and go directly to Schur? He'd be able to tell them how he pulled off The Good Place and share what he learned from Lindelof. Just trying to save that hypothetical person some time.

My comments were about what Michael said and did and how a second viewing provides layers and new meaning to that. His feelings, such as being "depressed and scared by his perceived failures," which you mentioned, never factored into it.

I guess that's my point. I am okay with people humble-bragging all of the time if in the end, they help find a cure for cancer, end world hunger, find shelter for the homeless, etc. If what they accomplish is sustainable and helpful (e.g., not merely funding so that the homeless have shelter for ONE night, but…

That's both deep and depressing. Thanks, SuperBat.

Well that's forking concerning.

I wondered about that myself. Hard to tell how much was an act at that stage (remember Shawn made some comment about how "now I'm wearing a robe?!" suggesting that that's not typical) and how much was real, but that certainly suggests that that there is one other case out there.

First, in the interest of full disclosure I earned a C in the only philosophy class that I took and like Eleanor, I may also be "legit into Tahani" with her cappuccino skin and legs for days. But can someone please explain why raising almost 60 billion dollars for charity, but having less than noble motives in doing…

That means that Jason was 100% right!? Although he did say "alien zoo" so 90% right.

He actually may be just as bad as Eleanor was on Earth, it's hard to say with the flashbacks that we got.

So here's a question — how can you make pizza bad without it obviously being bad?
Michael's argument was that people really seem to like froyo and that it's typical of humans to take something good and ruin it a little.

That question was asked so many times by some many people (myself included) and yet we still were led by the nose. Brilliant!

To be fair, what we have learned is that Chidi is completely lacking in self-awareness.
