I loved the part where the little girl asks Chidi if he can save her father, who got hit by some guy in a trolley.
I've thought about that, and the reason I think it's probably not the case is that I think the writers won't want to repeat themselves. Though one other possibility is that Michael is among the ones being tortured.
Yeah, maybe Sean is letting Michael do his experiment to torture him. I still think that at some point, the characters will either be accepted into the real Good Place or more likely they will learn to love where they are at and it will become their version of the Good Place. I did like last week's episode. We see Michael stealing a Good Place Janet and learn a bit more about why she is malfunctioning. The show continues to be very stimulating philosophically.
The Good Place is a great example of a show that knows how to be simultaneously stupid and intelligent.
Ooh, forboding cliffhanger fall finale. Why does it seem that one actor is showing up as a recurring role in every single show I'm watching, and he's always the serious guy in the silly thing? The serious judge in The Good Place, the intellectual husband in Brooklyn 99, the serious lawyer in Parks & Rec, the serious parody of 50s misogyny in Progressive ads. Are there no other actors who play serious guys in silly things?
Peter Macon does a good job of playing Lt. Commander Bortus on The Orville. I'm not sure he would work as well as Marc Evan Jackson, though, because Peter's a bit to physically imposing, and Marc has Shawn's swarmy, superior attitude down pat.
Personally, I've loved Marc Evan Jackson since I listened to the first episode of Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars on the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast.
While I can't explain the Progressive ad (other than Marc Evan Jackson being so droll), he keeps showing up because Michael Schur and Dan Gorr worked on Parks and Rec as writers and producers, they co-created Brooklyn 99, and Schur created and is executive producer on The Good Place. It's also why Jason Mantzoukas was on this week's episode.
So basically all the pure comedies currently on TV that I still watch and have been around less than 20 years were created by the same people, good to know.
It was a pretty good end to the fall part of the season. Not as funny as I've seen it, but Darek was a blast and any episode featuring Janet is a good episode. It is interesting. I saw two shows last night where the cliffhanger felt more tacked on than enriching of the episode. I wish shows would actually stop doing cliffhangers unless it served the story really well. I guess they need to bring people back when the show returns though.
Just being clear here, the only human being who knows how to write network sitcoms I actually enjoy watching is Mos Schrute.
That was good. They actually go me with Micheal there, I really wasn't sure which way he was going to until the end.
Netflix hadn't warned me, so thanks for that I enjoyed the episode Spoiler: spoilers and wasn't entirely sure which way Michael would go. I sort of figured he'd stay on plan, but if his boss wasn't such a dick and just wanted a reset, I could see him easily going the other way
Man that Roast was so mean spirited and then the twist at the end was so joyous. This show really is the best comedy on TV at the moment.
