Yeah, I'm not really sure where they are going with this angle, but I'm interested to see. I'm sure it's something like the accountant, or a demon, or something has changed the way points work. Or heck, maybe they are going to say the system has been broken all along; that could be a reason why none of the religions have ever gotten it right.
Doug just guessed how the system worked, this week was about showing that knowing that doesn't even get you into the Good Place and that trying to basically ruins his life. I'm pretty sure what Schur is building to is the idea that the entire good place/bad place point system has always been horrible and unethical
I can see that. If it ends up being that the system was always wrong, and they are going to try to fix/break it, that will be very interesting for sure, and a bigger story than I thought they were telling.
Doug wasn't screwed b/c he only guessed the point system he didn't know. Micheal does what he always does and ruins things for Doug
That's possible, but as mentioned above, he doesn't actually "know" how the system works, his belief just happens to coincidentally align with it. He just follows a very strict form of utilitarianism - i.e. perform actions that increase the total happiness of the majority, rather than just one person (such as yourself).
There were a lot of great moments, but Eleanor punching Vicky and then returning to her monologue without skipping a beat was hilarious
I'm thinking that the demons did something to the accountants or the system after what happened with Mindy so now everyone goes to the bad place.
Yeah plus her plan was part of a cocaine bender and not her sober self, questioning if your more base layers of consciousness are important than a mind that's thinking about and reflecting on their actions.
Why not? It wasn't the first time Janet has kicked demon ass.
Most of what Michael told the humans in season 1 about how the afterlife worked was true, though. He explained in season 2 that it was easier to make lies convincing if there was truth mixed in.
I like how Janet just stepped in and without hestitating just started kicking their ass. It came out of nowhere just like that. I laughed so hard at the spontaneity of it.
As soon as it happened it was perfect though, of course the infinitely intelligent Janet knows that there's no possible function continuing to talk will have and these demons just need to be dealt with
Ditto, Jason rivals Peter Griffin with the sheer nonsensical stupidity that comes out his mouth, he needs a major character development overHaul.
I would assume so.
I wouldn't say Jason isn't terrible, he's literally Florida Man.
I seldom listen to the official podcast, but I'm definitely inclined to give this week's a listen just to talk about how much was Darcy and how much was a stuntperson, etc. I was surprised, most of all, how often they didn't try and mask Janet's face; i.e. that Darcy was doing a lot of the moves.
But he doesn't know for a fact his points will get him in from all the negative things he did before mushrooms. That's why he still worries even after 40 years of doing it. If he was confident then it would be invalid but now he still has doubt. The Soul Squad know for certain in all ways they can't get there so they aren't the same
[This is a reply to both quotes]
Donkey Doug and Florida raised him, he's actually smart in comparison
I don't know if you treat the written intros and outros of the podcast as canon, but if you do, Jimi Hendrix and Mozart are both in The Good Place and have their own music podcast.
