I think the way we got Trevor back will be how they incorporate many of the recurring demons, instead of seeing them at bad place headquarters they'll show up on earth. Vicky will try to get between Chidi and Simone I think, or maybe she'll try to worm her way into Tahani's life.

It'll probably also be the way for Michael to get involved above board without sneaking around the Judge's back, since the interference from that end is way more overt.

NY Mag: The Good Place Showrunner Michael Schur Knows the Meaning of Life
In an extended conversation about goodness, badness, friendship, extremism, and the need (or lack thereof) for sleep or money, The Good Place showrunner and creator Michael Schur doesn't offer up any spoilers. But he does address the show's big-picture questions, the books that the staff read in anticipation of season three, whether the Medium Place is a form of torture, and Janet's gender identity, among many other topics. Read on for Good Place answers big and small.

Hmmm, I only caught the first half, and while it was funny, I'm not sure I'm going to like it as much with so much of the show on earth now.

Vicky did have an amazing Australian accent she was working on.

Huh. From that interview above, which I just finished reading:

Q: I can't help but bring this all back to The Last Jedi, obviously. One of the things I love about that movie is that it's about failure, but it's also about the fact that there's no one way to learn from setbacks and mistakes. There's not a set of scrolls or texts or diagrams or oral traditions that will solve every problem every time. The answer isn't that you stop trying or you imitate some other person's way of succeeding. The answer is you just have to figure it out, day by day. And it's hard.

This week was episodes 1 and 2, so in three weeks I guess we'll see what this was about.

I can see there being less potential for the completely outlandish situations that the show previously indulged in due to the afterlife setting allowing it, but this show is very much about not letting anything outstay its welcome and I'm curious to see what new status quo they develop and how they'll inevitably break it down.

I agree. Though I chalk that up to the first two episodes needing to put all the chess pieces in their correct places. It was like a fast spinning of wheels in these first two episodes - they had to do some re-explaining which felt a little tired, and then set up the road ahead. I trust Schur and the writing team to shake everything out.

So glad this show is back, can't wait to see what Season 3 has in store for us.

Is it possible to truly love and hate something at the same time, because that was me with Ted Danson's Australian accent.

Very much a pair of 'pivot the plot' episodes, but they were pretty funny nonetheless. I'm *very* excited for the situations that are going to result from everything they're setting up, though.

One of their kids is hot enough to be on The Bachelor AND smart enough not to be on the Bachelor. LOL

I thought the first two episodes were really good. Simone was great and I think she fits right in.

Simone is a great addition to the cast. In her first scene I wrote her off as a one-time appearance, but finding out that she'll be recurring is great.

Especially if this means that Tahani/Eleanor is more likely >:D

Just like Parks, this show has that ability to hit you right in the positive feels spot and has you genuinely smiling with actual affection for these characters and last night's ep was no exception.

I think it was the scene where the guard got that Frog bottle/thermos and he was just so happy to get it. It was a small/simple thing but it's also something that sets it apart from the majority of media where people are just awful to each other

Glad to have it back.

Also shoutouts to Charles Brainman

When Tahani said she was a tomboy in high school and they showed the picture, I lost it.

I'm so glad this show is back!

The first two episodes were a good start to the season. And is it just me or did Jason have his idiocy toned down quite a bit here? Maybe that's just because he's sad, but he didn't seem quite as dimwitted as before.

Great start to the season.

Does anyone know what's going in with Micheal's weirdly specific hand motion/finger snap thing that he does from time to time? Is there a how-to somewhere, as I'd like to use it IRL and snuff out other TGP fans. :)

This was a pretty slow episode with a lot of retreading, a bit odd for this show. A lot of killer lines though, Earth Eleanor is a riot.
