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.
Eleanor finding out that Michael was torturing Chidi with the trolley problem got me thinking. I think Michael's plea a couple episodes back to join their team was fake and all part of his new scheme to mess with them. Basically, Michael knows that trying to pretend it is the good place, will never work. Clearly after so many failed attempts, the gang will always discover the ruse no matter what. So he changed his strategy: admit that it is the good place, since they will discover it anyway, but pretend to be on their team and get them to "fake it" for Real Eleanor while torturing them in other ways, like making Chidi reenact the trolley problem over and over again.
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.
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.Are there no other actors who play serious guys in silly things?
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?
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.
Yeah, pretty much.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.![]()
And it's back tonight.![]()
