Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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

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

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

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?

Thrive to spite them

I was kind of thinking thebsame thing sj.

Like maybe what they're in is come combination of a Bad Place but also a place where people with potential for the Good Place to be able to get there.

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

I'm beginning to wonder if all of this is Michael's bad place.

He really has been hoisted by his own petard.

I could see Vicky eventually joining Team Bobcat, not because she's at all sympathetic to Michael or the humans but because she's gotten so invested in maintaining and improving her own place in the neighborhood. At this point she might be willing to do almost anything to keep it from being shut down by Sean.

Definitely.

Also, Matilda is officially going as Janet for Halloween. She and JZ have been busily sewing the vest and skirt.

Need the faux pearl earrings, and have to figure out how to do her hair.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Randomly reading comments from last week's Good Place and I started wishing they had filmed Eleanor & Tahani: Soul Mates. How long do you think that lasted before they figured it out? Twenty minutes? Twenty-five?
