Did anyone else think they recast the sister's part? She didn't look the same to me...

Matt, I was thinking the same thing. That would be fun.

I was wondering about that, too. OTOH, part of her brand was constantly changing her look.

I was also wondering whether the show is now turning into Hogan's Heroes, except with Colonel Klink as an ally.

I thought the same thing, but IMDB says the same actress played the sister in one episode in S1.

Also, I didn't get "Pump Up the Clam" until about an hour after the show ended. I must have blocked a chunk of late 80s music out of my brain. (I did, however, get "A Little Bit Chowder Now.")

Eleanor: "an Arizona dirtbag, a human turtleneck, a narcissistic monster, and literally the dumbest person I've ever met."

Jason: "And who am I? Describe me now!"

Jason running around with the sparkler made me laugh well into the commercial break.

I was just thinking how MUCH FUN the actor who plays Jason must be having right now.

Jason makes the whole afterlife thing seem monstrously unfair. It's like condemning a golden retriever puppy to eternal damnation!

I'm thinking of him more as the Siberian husky puppy we had when I was a kid -- exuberant, enthusiastic, and the first second someone turned their backs ate half a couch and the second time someone turned their backs dug up the entire backyard (okay, not the paved part, but everything that was diggable got dug good).

Admittedly, we didn't send her to the Bad Place so much as a bigger Good Place away from the suburbs, with other big dogs and people who knew how to handle them and a yard big and ramshackle enough that digging didn't matter.

Jason doesn't need a Bad Place, he just needs a Large and Sturdy Place that can handle his Jasonness without much damage.

But, yeah, the whole thing seems at least a little unfair for everyone else, too -- Eleanor's parents were utter human crapholes, Tahani's parents never bothered to hide how much more they loved her sister, and Chidi seems to have had an entire DSM's worth of anxiety disorders. I'd prefer an afterlife that's a little less mathematical and a little more willing to grade on a curve.

I'm actually fascinated by the moral/theological implications of The Good Place.

(I'm also too tired to expound further, so.)
