Spoilers The Good Place Season 4

[JirinPanthosa]

My predictions have been wrong for most of this season, but my prediction is that the four get in the real Good Place, but Michael is not allowed in and then Sean double crosses him and replaces him so he can torture him. Then the four find out somehow and have to save him.

I'm wondering if they'll just end up spending eternity running their new afterlife set up themselves.

Tonight's episode: it looks like our characters finally go to the Good Place or is there a twist?

Gods, I love the way Jason's brain works.

Tonight's episode: it looks like our characters finally go to the Good Place or is there a twist?

Considering there's only one more regular episode and then the double-stuffed series finale...maybe.

 

[Takeru]

The twist might be that the good place sucks, it might be torture for the people there, unintended by the good place architects but still torture. Look at how annoyingly chipper Nicole Byers good place postal worker was, or how over the top PC and supportive the Committee is, imagine living among them or in a place they think is good, it could drive people nuts.
And of course there's too much of a good thing, imagine hearing your favorite songs every time you turn on the radio, getting your favorite food all the time, always friendly people who agree with you on everything and love every idea no matter what.
Our main four were great for each other because on paper they were awful for each other, the good place would NEVER put them together.

What if next week they run into an actual good place resident and that person screams "OMG, real people! Get me out of here, this is hell!"? That would be a better twist than cheating demons. They already effectively got rid of the bad place, the finale could be about getting rid of the good place too because so far they have only redesigned half of the afterlife.

 

[Guy Gardener]

It's the year 2316, at least.

People in the middle, could be very different from the 21st century Jokers we have been playing with... If man is even around any more, and then there could be a heavy handed PSA about global warming.

Although, the time knife, so the good place and the bad place may be hovering over the early 21st century, and it doesn't matter how much time passes in the good place and the bad place, they can still lock onto any moment on Earth they feel like.

Actually if civilization has fallen where men and women run around like apes, the points system will start to work again, because the world is less complex where good and bad are black and white easy to discern. Not eating your own baby is reason enough to get into the good place.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Yeah, with two episodes left, something else has to go wrong at some point. Next episode will probably be in the Good Place, I don't think it's actually going to be torture so much as the Good Place architects will be out of practice and used to dealing with middle ages humans.

Was Janet in the balloon? I seem to remember her not being. I think the last episode will involve having to leave the Good Place to rescue somebody who isn't in.

 

[Kirk Prime]

Here's one thing I always wondered about this show--no one ever wants to reunite with anyone they knew in life.

I realize that Eleanor didn't have much of a childhood, and Jason was also a bit screwed up, but didn't Chidi and Tehani have families?

I realize Tehani's parents were tough on her, but she had no feelings for them at all?

None of them ever experienced sadness at the death of another?

I feel like if there is such a thing as The Good Place, or if there is an afterlife, the first thing I would do is look for my family. If they aren't there, it couldn't possibly be the good place.

Plus, this show takes place over 300 years or so, which means that everyone they ever knew was dead, and even if the main characters died first, their family would eventually die and there would be a chance to reunite.

 

[Captain Crow]

The Magic Panda is going to the Architect training school.

I really hope they have a proper scene with her before the series ends.

 

[Campe]

Plus, this show takes place over 300 years or so, which means that everyone they ever knew was dead, and even if the main characters died first, their family would eventually die and there would be a chance to reunite.

I don't recall if they ever addressed this on the show, but it's taking the assumption time works the same in the afterlife as it does on Earth.

 

[Grendelsbayne]

I don't recall if they ever addressed this on the show, but it's taking the assumption time works the same in the afterlife as it does on Earth.

Time is meaningless between earth and the afterlife. They were all in hell for centuries and then reinserted into earth at the exact moment they had died. They could be inserted to earth in 1000 years or during the Jurassic Period if the writers want.

It doesn't. Remember Jeremy Bearimy.

It doesn’t take place over 300 years, it takes place over 12.53 Bearimys.

I'm a big fan of Vicky, so I loved her role in this one. I was a little surprised she actually was cooperating, and being helpful.
The bear with chainsaw hands, and the demon's changes to it cracked me up.
I loved Jason actually helping Chidi figure out his relationship with Eleanor, in his own very Jason way. I like how they've actually let him stumble into really being helpful a few times now.
The1.28 Jeremy Bearimys title card setting up the time jump cracked me up. I wonder if we're ever going to find out how much relative time it was for the characters? I'm assuming it must have take quite a while to get the demons to actually cooperate.
I was really surprised they actually seem to be going off to The Good Place. I figured at this point that probably wasn't going to happen at all. I'm very curious what kind of complications pop up once they get there, because something obviously must come up to give us one last half hour episode and the one hour finale.

 

[Snaploud]

I assume they will either spend the next couple episodes fixing The Good Place or just scrapping The Good Place and adding in some form of reincarnation for anybody who passes the tests.

 

[Jayson1]

Maybe The Good Place will have God or all the God's and of course they will be funny and everything.


Jason

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I think something might happen like Eleanor and Chidi get matched up with other soulmates but they're 15th century people and hilarity and hurt feelings ensue.

Or the Good Place people try to entertain them with 15th century entertainment, and they have to train them how to make 21st century people happy, and hilarity ensues.

Not to mention the four fitting in with 15th century people. Not sure they'll go there, but the reaction of people from that era to the racial diversity of the group could be interesting, even good people from that era.

Jason

They haven't had Satan in the Bad Place, so I doubt we'll be seeing God in The Good Place. Despite the fact that the show is dealing with Heaven and Hell, they seem to be making an attempt to keep everything rather non-religious.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

In the first episode they said "Basically every religion got it about 5% right". So far in the show they've stayed far away from the specifics of any religion.

 

[Mojochi]

What if next week they run into an actual good place resident and that person screams "OMG, real people! Get me out of here, this is hell!"? That would be a better twist than cheating demons. They already effectively got rid of the bad place, the finale could be about getting rid of the good place too because so far they have only redesigned half of the afterlife.

It has to be something like this. That Good Place committee we've seen is hardly a sustainable model for this new system, & because our team cockroach were its inventors, they'll be stampeded with a new issue, in how unprepared the actual Good Place will be for the way things are going to be now.
