JonnyLaw 2,814 Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I wasn’t surprised they had Simone figure things out, but I kind of expected original Team Cockroach to discover that all four of the test subjects had been suspicious of them for a while now. I also think that it’s the original four who are really the ones being tested, as each seems to have demonstrably improved over their fatal flaw. Elenor repeatedly chose not to give up when things got tough, Tahani made amends with the Gossip Toilet dude, Jason became less impulsive (he fooled Simone into thinking he was a monk for a whole year) and seems to have gotten the slightest bit smarter, and Chidi has become more decisive, such as immediately determining to help Brent. I think it also makes more sense that it’s the original four than the new ones, because the whole hiccup causing everyone to go to the bad place was all the unintended consequences of everyone’s actions. If their actions in the Good Place don’t have unintended consequences (like Brent’s suit in a can - it wasn’t made in a sweatshop nor was the can made out of unethically sourced metal and transported across the world), then it should be much easier for them to improve. Thank you for listening to my Ted (Danson) Talk. Edited November 9, 2019 by JonnyLaw 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyLaw 2,814 Posted November 15, 2019 From the Good Place podcast, the five stages of grief in Jacksonville are: 1) graffitiing a Red Lobster 2) ATV race 3) tattoo fight 4) prank calling the morgue 5) graffitiing the morgue 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt D 10,796 Posted November 16, 2019 This week's episode was the first one this season that really lived up to the show, but then it was also a huge payoff to about six things and a retrospective to about six others, so that's hardly fair too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Newbury Bad Boy 10,794 Posted January 10 So in one of the climactic scenes of the entire series, they had Spoiler Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens show up to look confused and ask questions. Is Mike Schur making this show specifically for me? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig H 11,021 Posted January 12 Like, seriously in shock. Probably the best cameo since, uh, Bill Murray in Zombieland or Matt Damon in Eurotrip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert s 153 Posted January 17 (edited) Any theories on who this Jason really is? Because there is no way that Jason has ever read any Shakespeare. Edited January 17 by Robert s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil4126 651 Posted January 19 Late to the party but when you not only give us Tim Olyphantastic but he's in full Justified mode you officially have crossed the threshold into ultimate greatness. I love this show so damn much The "coup" that almost turned into the dance battle from West Side Story and Janet singing "It's simply the test' while Michael is playing the piano had me HOWLING. Can't wait to see where he go from here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefanie the Human 866 Posted January 19 There is no show that has kept me wondering just what will happen next quite like this one. As much as I don't want the series to end, I'm looking forward to having the full set so I can binge through the whole thing one weekend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bustronaut 4,239 Posted January 19 We just started rewatching it, and they set up SO MUCH in the first couple of episodes that gets paid off across the seasons. Knowing the season 1 twist in early episodes really lets you pick out the minor stuff that Danson was doing for people who were going to come back to the episodes after the reveal. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefanie the Human 866 Posted January 31 The finale was so emotional, and even if I didn't want it to end, I'm really satisfied with how it all wrapped up. I don't have much else to say. I just feel like it was exactly what it needed to be. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 11,021 Posted January 31 I'm so sad it's over. I don't think I could go through the door. I hate saying goodbye. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonteCarl 1,202 Posted January 31 I lost my father a little over a year ago. He had a terminal disease and made the decision to go while he was still comfortable and cognizant. This episode brought up a lot of emotions in me. I love this show and loved the ending. I will eventually do a full binge rewatch, but I need to let it breathe a bit before going back to it. The wave needs to go back to the ocean. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyLaw 2,814 Posted January 31 That was the most perfectly satisfying season finale ever. It’s also one I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 11,021 Posted January 31 Little things, but this series gave me two of my favorite cameos ever with Timothy Olyphant in Justified garb a few episodes back and Spoiler My hero Nick Offerman as Nick Offerman. Oh yeah, I got teary eyed seeing Spoiler Mary Steenburgen's very brief cameo. I thought that was a nice little touch. I'm super excited to see what Michael Schur does next. Personally, I still think I like Parks and Rec more because there was so much more there to love, but I think the Good Place is the better overall series. And I still need to watch Brooklyn Nine Nine at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
