Is there no episode this week?

they're on midseason break :/
― resident hack (Simon H.), Friday, 30 November 2018 14:21 (five years ago) link
it's back next week
― maura, Friday, 30 November 2018 14:24 (five years ago) link
oh nice! I assumed it was off till '19
― resident hack (Simon H.), Friday, 30 November 2018 14:26 (five years ago) link
Oh, that's okay, I guess. Was looking forward to my episode today...
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Friday, 30 November 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link
after next week it's off again until January, then the last three episodes run b2b with new Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Office repeats, presumably from the Schur era

That's.... usually not a good sign for a show, no? Burning off episodes like that? I know it hasn't been renewed for S4 yet, but that doesn't make me feel good about the future.

best thing that could happen to this show would be to go out on top. would be great if they wrapped after another season... or this one.
― Spottie, Friday, 30 November 2018 18:52 (five years ago) link
Burning would’ve been if they ran them off now and held the show until fall next year

On WTF Kristen was talking about Schur has had the whole storyline mapped out in his head from day 1. I thought she said it was a 5 season plan, but maybe I'm conflating it with something else.

Sitting on a mere three remaining episodes so that you can program a night around three shows by the same bloke, one of which you've just rescued from the network that cancelled it, does not indicate a lack of faith in that bloke, imo.
(One does wonder what the plan is after the third week, though.)
― sans lep (sic), Friday, 30 November 2018 19:05 (five years ago) link
Oh wait! I misread that as all three episodes b2b on the same night. That's what I intended with the burning 'em off comment. Never mind.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 30 November 2018 19:08 (five years ago) link
Ah, sorry for confusion!
― sans lep (sic), Friday, 30 November 2018 19:12 (five years ago) link
Ha, it's fine, clearly I just misread. I just don't want one of the few new sitcoms I still watch to disappear just yet.

Fantastic news from NBC: "NBC has picked up a fourth season of its popular and critically acclaimed Thursday night comedy “The Good Place.” The episode order is yet to be determined." pic.twitter.com/jeHxe9vpLN— Kate Aurthur (@KateAurthur) December 4, 2018

D’arcy’s interpretations of everyone, a kiss to save the void, big reveal about the good place, heroics from michael, big time cliff hanger...Holy crap what a show!
― rap is dad (it's a boy!), Friday, 7 December 2018 12:49 (five years ago) link
loved the wernham hogg vibe of the accounting department
― maura, Friday, 7 December 2018 13:16 (five years ago) link
Everything about that episode was fantastic. D'Arcy Carden is a national treasure.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 7 December 2018 14:33 (five years ago) link
it's hard to believe that this show continues to get better with almost every episode.
I was kind of hoping that they'd discover no one had EVER gotten into the Good Place.
― akm, Friday, 7 December 2018 15:36 (five years ago) link
i love my favorite show
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Friday, 7 December 2018 17:17 (five years ago) link
This was a great episode. A brilliant performance from D'Arcy Carden. It really connected in the way that the best of the episodes did.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Friday, 7 December 2018 22:59 (five years ago) link
Yeah, that was some kind of high spot.

Such a genius episode, and you could tell Carden was really having fun with the Jason impression.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 8 December 2018 17:34 (five years ago) link
So if they're finally in the real Good Place is it all going to be based on perceptions of idyllic society from 500 years ago? Hope so!

I was kind of surprised how much taller Stephen Merchant is than Ted Danson.

I noticed that too!

yeah samehe is ridiculously tall

(I would suggest that by the established rules so far it isn't odd that Doug isn't getting into heaven - all of his actions are directed at that end)
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Saturday, 8 December 2018 23:19 (five years ago) link
This episode contradicts some of even that though, because it says once a value's set it's automatically applied and some of the activities pre-dates a concept of a good or bad place (I would guess, since we'll never know whether God and the Afterlife were our first sentient thoughts.)

in 1497 (521 years ago) this guy died:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Manetti“He is particularly noted for his investigations into the site, shape and size of Dante's Inferno. Although Manetti never himself published his research regarding the topic, the earliest Renaissance Florentine editors of the poem, Cristoforo Landino and Girolamo Benivieni, reported the results of his researches in their respective editions of the Divine Comedy.”

didn't they previously say abraham lincoln was in the good place?

Yeah, but those were demons pretending to be Good place folks, right? So they just lied.

rule changes kinda got to me last episode ("the system is rigged by the bad place" -> "the system didn't adjust with the increasing complexity of human life" kinda lame and obvious but fine) but last night's episode was excellent, hopefully they settle down a little on the super expository plot shifts
