Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

He does make a good barkeep.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

So, this season was really good. But even if it had sucked, it would have been worth it to see Ted Danson behind a bar again. That was PERFECT.

So so so perfect!!! This show! I never saw any of that coming. I am always surprised, and never in the "that was a rip off" kind of way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't believe that's it for the season! Forrrrrrkkkk. I need more! And what's up with the rest of them??

Thrive to spite them

I am torn between which of Chidi's expressions was the best: the dawning realization as Janet poured her heart to Jason or the look when Jason describedthe events a year.

Chidi is the best. I was expecting a speech not action so I did scream when he kissed her.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't believe we have to wait a year for more Good Place. This show just KEEPS GETTING BETTER. In a weird way I think this show has actually achieved what Lost was going for all those years? THIS is how you build a narrative using flashbacks and resets.

I want Janet to make her way into the real world.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are they in the real world, or are they in another simulation?

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

And I shrieked when Chidi kissed Eleanor.

Yeah, that was very decisive of Chidi, which made it extra hot given that Chidi is Chidi.

There is no way in The Bad Place that I could have predicted where the show went with this episode. Initially I was like, "while it's lovely to see Eleanor trying to be a good person, I don't want the show the keep the characters separated, wahhh." Then we had that scene with Michael and Eleanor flying to Australia (!) to Chidi, and everything was all right again.

Oh good point. Not sure!

I've seen arguments that it must be a simulation because Chidi is speaking in American-accented English instead of French-accented.

Yeah, that was what made me wonder. And also if they actually had the power to alter history. Or...send them to an alternate history? I guess the judge has a ton of power. And can Michael just pop in and out of reality? Or are demons just supposed to be confined to torturing people in The Bad Place? Not that Michael's playing by the rules at this point.
