Thank you, Dave! That "How Soon Is Now" translation was a delight.

I agree. At this point, it's totally tainted. It's supposed to be a test of four random humans' abilities to improve, and now it's just as much a test of Team Cockroach's ability to not screw it up too.

With his flat-top and his height, Scully kind of reminds me of Frankenstein (yes, I know it's actually Frankenstein's monster). So SCully is SCary like Frankenstein.

On Amazon, the episode before Midnight is "Forest of the Dead", the second episode of a two-part story. I'm surprised that Sara liked it, having not seen the first episode, but I do think that Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead combo would be a better choice for the canon than Midnight. Vincent & the Doctor and The Girl in the Fireplace are the only other two that I think would really stand a chance.

Same. The beginning of the 3rd season was disappointing, but from Jeremy Bearimy on, it got its groove back. Regarding the canon pitch, I'm a big Community fan. I'm in the middle of my Nth rewatch, and I own seasons 1-3 on DVD. But even I wouldn't have voted this episode into the canon. Pierce is obviously not missed, but I'm not sure any episode without Troy is truly canon. If I were brave enough to record myself giving a pitch, I'd submit either Epidemiology, Remedial Chaos Theory, or Basic Lupine Urology. (I think the L&O spoof would work well for our hosts.) Contemporary American Poultry, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, and Pillows & Blankets might stand a chance too.

That was a really fun game time. Great job, Tara!

That is *exactly* how it should have happened. Bravo!

Amen!

Trump is a ludicrous caricature, and far more ridiculous than this Chris North character. I honestly think they didn't take it far enough.

Yep, that's where my mind went too.

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/10/01/netflix-the-good-place-eleanor-super-bisexual/ WJH says it's a "fact that Eleanor is super bisexual."

Yep. Me too. And I never liked the Hiltons or other celebs of that ilk, but I still know exactly what she looks like.

I love this idea, as I think he can do anything. I pulled up his IMDB to see if he'd done any similar roles and discovered that he's 46. The man looks damn good! I would have guessed 38. Finding out who Todd plays on YTW put the rest of the podcast into a whole new light for me. :)

Today's episode was excellent. Also, do we think MEJ's "Eric is dead. Long live Eric." was an intentional Parks & Rec Zorp reference?

For sure.

Amen! Regarding game time, I actually watch Doctor Who pretty regularly and I still wouldn't have gotten Arthur Winters. Also, I was really surprised/slightly disappointed that no one said "boner" as their outro line. I can't be the only one who thought that was coming (hehe), right?

Anyone interested in a rewatch before Season 3 starts? I think a new, fully spoiled conversation on here would be nice. I'm eager to see what everyone notices a second time through, knowing what we now know.

Yeah, I also expected this to be a Nonac. It seems like a "so bad it's funny/enjoyable" kind of episode, not an actually good episode.

Yay! You're welcome.

Normally I kind of zone out during the cannon presentation if it's a series I've never seen before, but I was fully engaged with this one. The presentation was great, and I'm now considering watching Fraiser. (The fact that known sitcom Scrooge Sarah D. Bunting enthusiastically voted this in helps a lot.)

I take it "Three's Company" is a pop culture blind spot for you? I'm only 30 and even I know that one.

I noticed one of those. Joe's Bar could also work for Grey's Anatomy. (Joe the bartender eventually bought the bar that came up in another question and renamed it.)

I feel exactly the same. It's preposterous to say Annie had absolutely no feelings for Max. That's NOT what they actively showed us in the first half of the season. And I think Leroy cares far too much for Max to sleep with someone he knows Max is into. So not only did this show trash its production values and storytelling, it has now tanked its character development too. I can't think of another example of a show creating such garbage with such great actors. (I'm a huge fan of Adam Scott from basically everything, and I learned to really like Craig Robinson thanks to his role as Doug Judy on Brooklyn 99.)

I was already a little bummed to hear that Lithgow wouldn't be in the second season. And now the case revolves around this Chenowith character who seems designed specifically to annoy me. I'll give it a couple episodes, but I'm not excited for this season.

Now you've got me thinking about an anatomically correct Derek doll. hahahaha
