That was such a strange episode, particularly the way it just kinda ended. Something even seemed off with the way Bad Janet was being played.
And I 100% thought Brent said bitch lol
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.

Hank Azaria was on The Dan LeBatard Show on ESPN yesterday and revealed that he had read for Joey before auditioning for David and wow could two people be more different trying for the same role.
That would have been a completely different show. He said that by the end Matt was absolutely the best and he was very complimentary about Matt.
He also said that David hated the monkey, whose real name was Monkey, in real life because David would be trying to say his punchlines and do it well, but the monkey hit him in the face so they had to re-take.
And he told a story that they were filming and the monkey started horking like he had a hairball and threw up on the couch. Hank thought the monkey’s trainer was enticing him to act with nuts and berries, but the monkey was actually eating (this is gross so I’m spoiling it)
.
Hank made me laugh because he said “David really hated the monkey and by the end, I did too.” I don’t know why that statement tickled me so much but it did.
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.

What about the episode where Phoebe told Ross she didn't believe in evolution? He would not stop pestering her about it. Lecture, lecture, lecture... he even brought fossils in from the museum to try and show her.
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 have no clue how Psych (a series I can only watch in small doses) has two made for tv movies (the second one is coming out later this year), and yet there was a script for a Monk made for tv movie back in 2012 "Mr. Monk For Mayor", and that movie never gets made for budgetary reasons.
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!

Unpopular opinion - I don’t like Eleonor ans Chidi together. I loved the idea and build up but now it’s official I’m just meh. I feel like I’m watching two really good friends who got carried away in thinking they were meant to be just because of limited options and now they’re together they’ve realised the chemistry isn’t really there.
UO I know..
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.).

I teared up a bit when that kid told Kimmy her book made him feel safe.
Does anyone know where they filmed the theme park scenes? Rye Playground, maybe, as the series shot in and around NYC?
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.

The Bad Place aren't planning to wipe their memories of his good deeds. If they did, the core four wouldn't be confused and betrayed by "Michael" torturing them. They would just wipe any memories of him preparing them for "Michael" not really being him.
He didn't say you can't wipe select memories, exactly. Just that he can't wipe Simone from Chidi's memories without also wiping Eleanor and the rest of his friends from them, because they're in the same memories as she.
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.

Except this time it’s not just all of humanity at stake. That’s almost too enormous to even comprehend when you’re stealing a key or entering the IHOP. This time, if Michael fails, the four humans he loves are going to spend eternity thinking that he betrayed them, that he takes immense joy out of torturing them. By making the stakes so much smaller in the big scheme of things, I do absolute believe that this consequence of failure could completely decimate Michael, and it makes me love his character even more.
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.

If Joel had the same opportunity and took it, the kids would have Zelda as a parent, because the show has recently shown the kids with Joel more than with Midge, and he actually interacts with the little boy. The price to be paid for all the self-actualization falls heavily on the children who will grow up unmoored. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, and babies don't have to be left in hot cars but it makes for more *humor* --Midge is a dynamo who goes after what she wants with gusto, and oh yeah, there's a kid in the back seat. To me they're not showing any angst on Midge's part, it's just played for a cheap laugh.
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.

I was saying the need to remember everything is part of our generation. I've seen other people (not necessarily one generation) freak out over many things so I don't think she's that unusual. YMMV.
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.

33 minutes ago, Temperance said:I watched the clip and wondered what everyone is reacting to. Yes she was scared of the dentist, but not imo, as scared of being in the same room with a man. She was more afraid of not being able to remember anything. (It seems consistent with her generation and her social media use that she wants to remember basically every moment of her life.) I don't see anything odd in reaction; lots of people are afraid of doctors and dentists.
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 liked Ross and Julie together too. I also think Ross was a better character as a whole during the first few seasons and became a little bit more of a joke later on so his love interests early on were taken more seriously.
Rachel didn't get any good love interests and none of the ones she actually had were supposed to be taken seriously so I agree with the poster above, that you can't compare their relationships. I don't know why the show made her act so desperate and obsessed with the guys they actually did give her (Danny, Tag, JoshuAAA) are the ones I remember off hand.
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.

@PalomaI'm Canadian and I'm not aware of anything in particular about Doug's name. Tbh I'm not sure why they bothered to be in 'Canada' bc I expected alot of jokes/ stereotypes about Canada and there were none that I noticed. It was odd bc there could be a joke somewhere about Doug's striving for points and being so nice to everyone and how 'nice' Canadians are.
I enjoyed the ep, I just felt disappointed they didn't really use the setting at all. The could have been anywhere.
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.

Wow. They both have aged like 20 years in that 5 year time span. Marriage and parenthood sure did not agree with them.
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.

In the first season Michael mentioned that every religion guessed the afterlife about 5% correctly, but a stoner from Calgary guessed it 92% correctly. That's my guess as to who the soul squad is going to visit. Then again, every time I've tried to figure this show out I've been wrong;)
But...but...Calgary is one of the least rural places IN Canada with a population exceeding 1 million!

Her brother was part of the reason she was so wound up. She protected him and got him out of there, stopped her boyfriend from killing him, and then the accident happened. It wouldn't have, if her brother hadn't set fire to her boyfriend's trailer. That's a POS move.
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?

I cannot wait to find out who in rural Canada is going to be their ideal human (speaking as someone who lives in rural Canada.) This should be good.
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)!!!

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.
