Season 7 thought: does Lucy ever notice that Andy doesn't move to Chicago? I know it's almost a throw-away joke, but now it bothers me every time I watch that episode.

I'm 99.9% sure he said bitch. It wouldn't be unusual for NBC primetime...Friends was saying it over two decades ago.

This doesn't feel like the same show as seasons 1 and 2 to me, although I can't really verbalize why. It just doesn't have the magic spark that it did before. I totally agreed with everything Simone said about Brent but I am not invested in either of them. Every time John comes on screen I prepare to be annoyed. I miss the "bottle episode" feeling of the earlier seasons...the same core group, dealing with tertiary characters like Shawn and Gen.

Don't ask me how I remember, but the monkey's real name was Katie (she was actually female). They talk about it on the DVD commentary.

I may not support his approach totally, but I was 100% on Ross's side (I also appreciate that Phoebe was just teasing him to get him going, which is totally something my husband does to me sometimes). For example, if a physician was friends with someone who was anti-vax, I wouldn't be surprised if that physician lectured that person and provided examples to support their position.

I just finished Monk for the first time. I'm not a crier but the finale almost broke me. It was so well done! (Although Traylor Howard CANNOT fake cry, and should not be made to. It really took me out of those scenes).

I have been binge-watching Monk for the past month or so. This is my first viewing and I am really loving it. I'm on season 6 and just realized the Julie Teeger is not played by Shailene Woodley (sp?). I've only seen her in a couple of things but I would have sworn it was her!

I agree. I also feel that Kristen Bell has great ~general chemistry~ with almost everyone on screen with her, but I never feel any real heat coming from her in a romantic sense (not just in TGP but Veronica Mars, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, etc.).

YES! I do not cry very often and I was handling the finale just fine until that moment and it was like a switch was flipped and I was sobbing.

Thanks for the clarification. I was tired when I watched last night and didn't catch that correctly. Additional thought: I cannot see The Cockroaches believing Michael would go back to his roots at this point; if they did have someone in the Michael suit, I would expect them to figure out pretty quickly that it wasn't him. He has risked so much to help them.

Didn't MIchael say in this episode, though, that you can't remove only select memories? That would mean that the Bad Place couldn't make Team Cockroach forget Michael's good deeds without removing a lot of other memories as well - probably making them forget him completely? EDIT: Although, now I can't remember exactly what sort of memory wipe they did on Simone and whether that may conflict with what I've said above.

While I didn't love season 3 as much as the other two seasons, I still have faith that the writers will produce a season 4 of a quality much higher than a standard sitcom. I agree with the posters that would like to avoid a Chidi/Eleanor/Simone triangle, but if it happens, I doubt it would span more than 2-3 episodes, based on the pace of this show so far.

I still absolutely love this show but I don't see the chemistry between Chidi and Eleanor. I am also not invested in the "triangle" between Tahani, Janet and Jason. I adored Nicole Byers' character, whose G-name is escaping me.

I also think that it was shown from the first episode that Joel is not prioritizing his children (leaving them to be with his secretary), while Midge's neglect is never really acknowledged.

Oh absolutely but we don't always know the motivation behind the actions (or over-reactions). I am a survivor of domestic abuse and it was shocking to my current SO to see my reaction to what he thought was a minor argument (I'm in the fetal position, hysterical). From an uninformed vantage point, I'm freaking out over a minor argument. With more information, you'll discover that due to trauma in my past, I react strongly to certain scenarios. That is why I feel that Jill is overreacting to a medical procedure due to more than just a fear of the current situation; I think her reaction is loaded due to her past trauma.

I totally disagree. I am in my early 30s and I don't see how my generation is concerned with remembering every moment of their life due to social media. I mean, life is easier to document now for sure, but I don't see her crying because she won't be able to remember or document her oral surgery, especially because she was completely sheltered from social media at that point in her life. When I was around 18 I had my wisdom teeth out; my mom dropped me off and picked me up but I was definitely not clinging to her in the dentist chair. I would say you are selling my generation short if you think Jill's behaviour in that video is "normal".

Someone in the Janet(s) epidose thread mentioned that Mindy St. Clair may play a role in the future and now I'm wondering if maybe she's not who she said she is, and whether she may not have really been a human. Perhaps she has something to do with the points system failure?

Best episode of the season! Edit: if the last person to make it to the good place was 500 years ago, could we extrapolate to say the one person makes it every 500(+) years? That's a pretty empty afterlife.

I binged this show last weekend and I can't get it out of my head! It was bizarre in a good way. I honestly think part of the appeal for me was watching Rupert Grint in such a different role from Ron Weasley. The doctor was a stitch too dumb for me to believe he is a licensed physician, but it's TV.

I think Gavin could have turned out better than it did. It may just be my residual love for Dermot Mulroney from My Best Friend's Wedding, but I didn't hate him.

I was honestly SO relieved that they did not use all of the Canadian tropes, accent, maple syrup...UGH. The Puking Moose was fine. It wasn't too much.

Jill really has deep lines on her forehead, and crow's feet! I'm about half a decade ahead of her and can honestly say she has many more lines than I do! I have to guess that it has something to do with the face she is always making in pictures.

But...but...Calgary is one of the least rural places IN Canada with a population exceeding 1 million!

I found it unrealistic that the brother lit the trailer on fire and then hung around to get beat up...what did he THINK was going to happen when the BF showed up?

Yes! Another rural Canadian here - very excited! Edited to add: The Good Place won't do the terrible "Canadian accent" that so many sitcoms do, with they? Because it's NOT a thing (for 99% of Canada, anyway...NFLD is another story)!!!
