And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Yay, Good Place! I'm so excited it's back.

Although, we're currently finishing up another show. So, we sadly probably won't be able to watch it for a few more days.

Thrive to spite them

I hope I can watch it some where tomorrow. I think I've lost the tv for the night to Mom.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The Good Place S2 premiere was a trip. I quite liked the overlapping multiple POV approach. Tahani's section made me laugh the hardest. Can you believe this is Jameela Jamil's first acting gig? (I think she worked as a TV presenter in UK before this). Her comic timing is amazing. Favourite bits: her successively more disparaging/despairing monikers for a female plumber. I lost it at "clog wench."

It also cracked me up that the show has now partially turned into a work-place comedy, except instead of a paper company or a police station, it's a workplace sitcom about demons who are disgruntled at not being able to go on with their usual torturing. And I know it's a cheap gag, but Eleanor's new soulmate's stripper tear-away tops/jackets made me howl every. single. time.

"I live in a boundless void."
"Can I go there?"
"No. It's a boundless void."

I can't believe how they still have me invested in Jason/Janet but they have, and I am.

Looking forward to what they're gonna come up with next!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That was awesome. I love how they resolved the plot thread from the cliffhanger, but now introduced Michael's thin-ice situation with Captain Holt's husband. (Yes, I'm sure the actor has a name.)

Real!Eleanor's frustration over being a Ferrari left in the garage! Eleanor's soulmate, who was happy with his old job in Twisting!

I also recognized one of the demons from The Guild, Felicia Day's gaming webseries.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The Real!Eleanor actress is a lot of fun and I'm glad we're gonna continue to spend time with her. I like that the demons are developing their own quirks and personalities. LOL at that one dude who was just super-intent on biting people!

but now introduced Michael's thin-ice situation with Captain Holt's husband

Heh. That's how I think of him as well. Marc Evan Jackson is his name (okay, I had to Google it. He's one of those H!ITGs and I flove his dry line delivery). My guess is that Michael would eventually have to work with our foursome to escape Shawn's wrath/eternal torment. Lots of chewy storyline potentials in how that might come about.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Now I only have to wait a week to find out what happens next. Yay!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Eleanor's new soulmate's stripper tear-away tops/jackets made me howl every. single. time.

Oh my god, me too. They committed to that gag, and it worked.

Chidi is still the ACTUAL BEST.
