The Good Place - Season 2 (1 Viewer)

[Adam Lenhardt]

I suspect that all of S2E2 is Michaels' second try, and that enlisting the forked-up 4 is just a part of the new Hell Michael is running.

Either that, or this is actually Michael's Bad Place.

Michael's suit during the giraffe-attack deserves its own Emmy.

Also, Janet begging for her life. ("I got tickets to Hamilton next week! And they said Daveed Diggs may be coming back!!") And those puns were like an entire season’s worth of Bob’s Burgers opening-credits gags and "Burgers of the Day" condensed into a single, glorious episode.

Oh, and if there's not a band called "Busty Alexa" formed in the next week, we have failed as a species.

I found the episode delightful this week. Again, getting the best of Michael and tearing him down to size for some reason really tickles my funny bone.

I've laughed all week at his disappointment in his thighs.

The chowder-fountain, a.k.a., "hot ocean milk with dead-animal croutons."

You Do the Hokey Gnocci and You Get Yourself Some Food
Lasagne Come Out Tomorrow
Knisch From a Rose
Beignet and the Jets
And of course the all-time great, Hot Dog on a Stick...on a Stick.

My S.O. mentioned that they missed an opportunity to put "Low-Cal Calzone Zone" as one of the restaurants. Maybe that's in the real Good Place?

And as much as I personally would like to try it, a rousing round of Cones of Dunshire would probably be a pretty effective torture for this group.

Tonight's episode was basically just five characters sitting in a room talking. And I loved it.

Tahani's death was the ultimate karmic justice. I've got to believe that Kamilah will end up in the Bad Place some day, too, though.

They need to make Tiya Sircar a series regular, already. Every scene of Vicky's needy attention-seeking is pure gold.

 

[Matt Hough]

I really enjoyed it, too. Quite a conundrum they're faced with trusting/helping this demon

"Can I play iPad?"

Fun fact (for Star Wars fans): Sircar plays Sabine on Star Wars: Rebels.

Missed this last night, due to parent-teacher conferences. Just caught up with it now.

Build-a-Real-Bear Workshop.

Michael's one earring.

Plus that fucking unicorn.

 

[Rob Willey]

"Ooh, Cool Ranch baby!"

 

[Matt Hough]

Even with their knowledge of what's going on, Tahani managed to be tormented by her unquenchable need to be the best. Jason is my favorite. I look forward to every bone-headed statement (which sometimes have more than a speck of wisdom in them).

Build-a-Real-Bear Workshop.

That was great.

Plus that fucking unicorn.

I liked the detail of the little rainbows coming off its feet as it walked.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the show at this moment. I had doubts about season 2 but at the moment the story is very original and could go beyond a simple comedy.

"It's Chinese, for 'Japan'."

I think even Michael's presents are tortures:

- Jason's Pikachu-balloon immediately popped;

- Eleanor's shrimp-dispenser has an awful mystery flavor she can't stop eating, which will make her fat (which is confirmed to be a thing in the afterlife, thanks to Michael's stress-eating) in an episode where she couldn't stop bragging about how hot she is;

- Tahani's diamond will amplify her worst character traits, especially her shallowness, and:

- Chidi's replica-notebook, even though we didn't get to see inside it, we know to contain some "strange" doodles. Most likely, looking inside the notebook would have given Chidi some unwarranted misgivings about the teachings of Kant.

I wrote a high school term-paper on Kierkegaard. When I visited Copenhagen, I sought out his statue.

I would totally pay real money to see Chidi's three-hour-long rap musical about Kierkegaard.

 

[TravisR]

I liked Michael and Eleanor reminiscing and laughing about putting her cousin's credit card number up on Reddit because she said she looked tired.

Why The Good Place is NBC's meta successor to Community

 

[Matt Hough]

I laughed out loud several times during this week's episode. And the ratings have now eclipsed Superstore which wasn't the case last season.

I definitely hear more about the show now than I used to. Granted, it's mostly "I've heard that show is good" rather than people having actually seen it but at least people are more aware of it now.
