The Good Place S3 |OT| Stick a Fork In It We're Ready - Thursdays 9:30/8:30c
- Thread starter StarCreator
- Start date
only 12. I guess technically the hour long premiere was "two parts" but NBC only says 12 on the on demand. Not long enough.
:( That ending.
the hour long opening each season always counts as two of the eps.
Anyone can go to bad place now according to reveal of how things been running
Oh right, I didn't realize. Gosh... will watch it tomorrow I guess.
Alright, show, that's officially one reset too many. Stop it with them already!
But, since this is where we are, and the next season will obviously spend some time going down the Chidi/Simone path, do the right thing and finally go down the Eleanor/Tahani route!

Oh my god, that montage. I was tearing up. It was just so touching. I feel like we should get one more before, like it wasn't quite an end of season banger*, but who cares, give me the next season already!
*Obviously the Chidi reset is sad, but we've seen so many resets, and they have established that he and Elanor are naturally attracted to each other over and over, so it loses some weight.

Yeah, that montage got to me :(
Even though I do agree they will find there way back to each other.
Tahani's freakout from the gossip columnist was great.
"Please believe me I was at Diddy's White Party!"

Just finished the last episode, and wow.
That last shot of Chidi on the welcome couch hit me hard. Kristen Bell really killed it, I feel like we got to see all the different shades of Eleanor in this episode.
While everything could revert back to the way it was pretty easily with the way the afterlife works, they did a good job of making Chidi's sacrifice feel weighty.

Anyone else feel like they are ruining the experiment by not lying to the new people about how they got to the good place? I guess technically it was only Jason and Eleanor they lied to. But seems like that gossip blogger should have been the one tricked.
Sup Everybody, I kinda was too busy with school and other shows but got all caught up and holy shit!
This show is beyond goood, it's amazing! I wasn't into Chidi/Eleanor at all in the beginning but by these last couple of episodes I was won over.
Man this show is in a good place.

Yeah, but presumably she's better equipped to handle it. Also, her slipping up wouldn't matter as much, since he's not the one on trial.
Just thinking about Chidi and Eleanor's goodbye still breaks me.
How did Kristen Bell deliver the line "I'm a legit snack" so perfectly as to make me laugh exactly once through my tears?

I'm going to have to rewatch the season before I sort out my final feelings on it. I don't think it was as good as the first two, but it definitely picked up a lot of steam in the second half. If I have one request...
no more memory wipe-y type stuff. From the comments at the AV Club, other people feel the same way

PS: There's no need for spoiler tags once the episode has aired. Thanks.

This one works for me because they aren't wiping everyone - just Chidi. That's going to create some really interesting moments.
What. An. Episode.
The wait for Season 4 is going to kill me.
At least Chidi won't remember the time knife anymore.

Memory wipe is part of a larger philosophical discussion and plot so I'm fine with it. Plus a partial reboot is new for the show.
I agree, they played it pretty well this time. It's just going to start wearing a little thin sooner or later. I have to admit that I'm a little cynical about it being used here because it feels like it's being used as an instrument to invoke a new flavor/variation of the classic sitcom "will they, won't they" trope. But at least it's a new flavor.
I'm too cynical in general--I don't want to give people the wrong idea. I enjoyed the episode and the season. I'm just better at voicing my negative opinions than my positive ones :p I'll keep my mouth shut.
I don't know about ruining the experiment, but I had this exact same thought. At the very least, you'd think they would explain why they were in the Good Place.
If they use the memory wipe as a way to put an absolute stop to Eleanor and Chidi, then ok. Those two have NO CHEMISTRY.
They lied to them to torture them, they're not trying to torture them this time but to save them.
OP

I think it brings up a good point - isn't the whole thing reliant on the humans being tortured? If they're happy and complacent, then there's no motivation to improve. It was overcoming the adversity of whatever Michael threw at them that kickstarted their growth from the reboots we've seen.
Yea, co-signed on barely being okay with yet another mind wipe just because it's only Chidi. If it was everyone, I'd be pissed.
You too huh

Okay so who are we betting are the other 2 new residents? Someone for Jason and someone for Eleanor. While Tehani's case shows that they aren't all necessarily going to be returning characters (or was he in the flashbacks with her sister ever? I don't think so, right?), I think it's likely at least one of the other newbies will be someone we know...
I think for Eleanor, it seems likely it'll be one of her parents. Maybe it'll be Dress Bitch or her old boss at the telemarketing place though?
For Jason, I can't think of anyone we've met that it could be aside from Donkey Doug or Pillboi, and neither of them tormented him... though maybe they'd get picked anyway as they would be likely to tempt Jason into bad behaviors again without the torment part.

dat podcast, crying at table read of course
Elanor probably a ex boy or girlfriend, you don't cast either until you know plot lines and availability
for jason that "marshmello" knockoff guy maybe?

The other 2 people were replaced with neutral characters after the judge intervened. But they could have similar issues to the other characters, or have traits to annoy them.
The bit that really really did it for me, the absolutely perfect line:
E: Thanks, Janet. You know, for a robot, you make a really good girlfriend.
J: I'm one out of three of those things. But thank you. Good luck.

I don't recall them saying this was the case? But my roommate was talking over the show again so I could have missed something.
I thought she said that the two new people needed mindwipes, not they were changed to be neutral
