Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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.

I'm crying.

Thrive to spite them

So last night as I was falling asleep I ended up thinking of a lovely bit of Chidi/Eleanor fic based on this episode and now have forgotten it. But it was a nice way to fall asleep instead of stressing about things.

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

I am in Canada and downloaded that to watch this morning, and it was so entirely worth it.

Laugh moment: When Chidi asks if he's been annoying, and everyone equivocates, and then you hear Jason say YES.

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

Excuse me, I'll just be bawling until the next episode airs.

OK, listening to the podcast got me a little more grounded.

Oof, that was good.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

That was great. Oh, Chidi.

I was noting that in the last few episodes (before he went comatose) he was far more decisive than in the past. Chidi has progressed, yo.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

-t I agree with you on the Tequila (My favorite line in Lizzo's 'Good as Hell' is "got a bottle of tequila I've been saving for you") and the bawling. (I had to go have a cry and thinking about it now I'm about to start up again.)

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

Well played with the stunt casting, Good Place

"50 gallons of man in a 10 gallon hat" is such a perfect description, I died a little.

I caught the pilot of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, which is high concept as network TV comedies go. To wit: the main character is a coder in a tech company, and *something* happens to her brain when an earthquake strikes while she's getting a brain MRI. As a result, she can now hear other people's thoughts and emotions in the form of a... SONG! (I KNOW). The pilot is a bit forced in bits but I still quite liked it. Peter Gallagher plays Zoey's father who is dying of a degenerative neurological disease and cannot talk/move much, and I legit cried for several minutes when he started singing, even though I was fully expecting it to happen.

It reminded me of Wonderfalls a bit. The pilot is streaming on Youtube if you wanna check it out: [link]

This article about the Good Place cameo is a delight:
