Chidi's continual delighted noises when presented with puzzles and clues. "OooooooOOOOOOOooooooh!"
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Relaxed and happy Chidi this season is giving me such joy
I caught up on the podcast over the weekend and now I just want to curl up with a big platter of nachos and watch everything again

Oh man. Got to the end of the episode and was convinced that I would have to wait months for the next one. Wrong, new episode next week! Whew!

OK, I don't know what's going to happen next AT ALL but I do want to say that the experiment seems to have been successful? All the humans got better, right? Although we don't know how Brent was going to finish that thought, that he was visibly anguished at the thought that he actually might be a bad person is still an improvement.
Where can Simone and John be going?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Watching the end, I realized just how badly, how deeply I yearn for all the Brents who infest our real world to have that moment. Even if they're incapable of doing better, I want to see the awful dawning of the moment when they know better.

I'd say that maybe Simone got worse? John and Chidi definitely seemed to improve over their beginning state, and Brent seemed pretty static throughout.

Simone really wasn't a bad person at the start, was she?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Since the neighborhood is in the Medium Place, Simone and John may well have run into Mindy or Derek (hopefully not literally) in their flight; depending on time elapsed before the experiment was frozen, they could have learned a lot about what's actually been happening if Mindy decided to vent her frustrations.
I am quietly amazed by a Chidi who is resolute. Before, he would have run out the clock dithering between helping someone in mortal peril and his partner's urging them to run; this is a man who was famously unable to choose between two hats.

I'm going to miss the podcast nearly as much as I'll miss the show. Mark Evan Jackson is such a nerd, he's as thrilled talking with the animal handler and the head of props as he is chatting with the lead actors. Learning that all of Jameela Jamil's dresses have pockets and the pockets invariably have chocolate in them is a bonus.

Right? The podcast has been a golden gift. I haven't finished this week's yet but learning about AD qualification requirements was fascinating!
I was trying to think about what Simone's flaws are, how she would need to improve, and I don't know. The solipsism was really only after she died. If the Judge gave the new humans a test like Chidi with the hats, etc, what might herd be? Brent and John have a lot of possibilities (and John keeping Jason's secret is actually a pretty good one for him) but I have no idea for Simone.
