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!"
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.)

It's pretty interesting. I suspect there is another layer of behind the scenes to which we (and the characters we know so far) are not privy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Does anybody feel like they're going to flip the script again?
Like, Michael will be a double-agent working for the Real Good Place.
Or some other switcheroo like that.
I think there'll be another fundamental shift.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm beginning to wonder if all of this is Michael's bad place.

It's kind of got a Purgatory vibe with the ethics classes and becoming better people, no?
