The podcast this week is excellent, not least because when they play clips from the episodes just hearing the dialog is allergy inducing
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Still thinking about this episode - I really appreciate that this wasn't a case of Chidi making the decision and keeping it from Eleanor to spare her the pain of having to make that choice with him, or vice versa, but all of our heroes coming together and agreeing that this is awful but it's what has to happen.

I'm so fascinated by the Simone complication; and Sean's threat to tell them how she died sounded ominous.

I'm pretty nervous about how all that will play out. I like Simone a lot, but I'm super invested in Eleanor/Chidi now.
Kinda not feeling the Janet/Jason right now, though. They're gonna have to sell me on that next season.

So if Sean picked 4 people who had connection to the group was Simone for Chidi or Eleanor? Is someone else going to show up that knows Eleanor?

Man, I am STILL not over that finale.
But it was so lovely from a character standpoint: indecisive Chidi made a decision really calmly and decisively and selfish Eleanor was totally selfless. That was really excellent.
But my heart is still just destroyed.

Hey. New board.
Eleanor's mom is maybe coming next? That was my guess.

Ooh, and evil bitch Tahani sister. Maybe last season's cycle of kind of boring make it rights was actually just a preview.

No one who knows Eleanor could show up while she's pretending to be the Architect, though. They'd have to switch back to Michael, or Janet (or Derek!), except Simone and the other guy, the blog guy, already think Eleanor is the Architect. They would have to be mind-wiped, and so would Chidi.
Or I guess someone who knows Eleanor could be mind-wiped to not know her, but that wouldn't have a lot of narrative impact after rebooting Chidi.

Hey. New board.
Dang, good point. My idea is lazier than the show is anyway.
