Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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

Oh good point. Not sure!

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

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

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Those old stock ticker machines they were reading made me think it's some kind of simulation.

Thrive to spite them

I'm pretty sure it's a simulation. I don't think they could have hidden what they were doing if they brought all 4 back to life. Also it could mess up other people.

Also the showrunners wouldn't over look something like Chidi not sounding different .

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

That's awesome.

So, Sean is Eleanor's Boss? When she's not trying, anyway.

Ah, this show. So good!

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

Excellent interviews with Jameela Jamil and Manny Jacinto just posted to GQ.

Thrive to spite them

This is my favorite quote from that

I actually lie down in between takes because I'm a sloth. I'm sure that's what they wanna read in GQ. I'm a sloth with breasts. You have your title, you're welcome.

The whole cast is amazing.
