Spoilers (through episode 4 when I posted this on FB) and my thoughts of where it might go inside

Posted by: skamanfu on Oct 13, 09:22 in response to islander's post good place is delightful (but i havent been watching it...

Before episode 4 I was thinking that The Good Place was really purgatory, especially after a friend and I watched the firs three eps. I mean, it makes sense. Sure, Elanor was the POV into this world, but you can tell she's not the only one carrying a secret, which was confirmed in episode 4.

So, what if The Good Place isn't really purgatory, but a second chance to get into the Real Good Place? Since now we know Eleanor and Jianyu and both there under false pretenses, is there a chance for even more to be in the fake Good Place? So it's a second chance to be a good person to move on to what you really find as your version of the afterlife.

And it made me think back to the pilot. When the rules of the Good Place were explained, we were told that each religion was about 5% right, but a stoner got most of it right. And what if the picture on the wall is really Michael as a kid? Yeah, I'm going super down a rabbithole on this. And then you think about Chidi, the guy who teaches ethics. He had one person to convert to being an ethical human,and now he has another student. So maybe, just maybe he is the true architect of this Good Place in hopes of being an ethical person of converting more ethical people.

Or maybe I'm just overloaded with this walking pneumonia that my mind has nothing better to do than over analyze a comedy on NBC.

One more thought: It's called the Good Place, but not the Great Place. Each season could be in a different level of the different places.

Okay, now it's time to shut off the writer's mind (filled with cough syrup) and get some sleep.

so here are a few shows I'm watching lately to fill my VP and Broad City (comedy) void... lobogotti Oct 12, 06:52

should have told you that I'm a Halt & Catch Fire viewer... love it. watched the 1st season of Baskets, is the 2nd back on in Feb? lobogotti Oct 13, 12:08

I'm caught up on Atlanta, Ep 7, I was crying I was laughing so hard. {nm} lobogotti Oct 14, 05:26

Check out Documentary Now! {nm} avandelay Oct 13, 11:40

that good huh? I watch IFC a lot, but always overlook that one. I'll watch a couple episodes. {nm} lobogotti Oct 13, 12:06

If you watch a lot of documentaries then I think you'll like it. But some of the episodes are funnier if you've seen the doc it is spoofing {nm} avandelay Oct 13, 12:18

huge documentary buff. watch a few a week. {nm} lobogotti Oct 13, 12:32

If you've seen the original docs, this show is one of the funniest on tv. The first episode spoofing Grey Gardens was sublime. {nm} Willroast Oct 13, 19:23

Have you found time to check out Westworld yet Lobo? 2 eps in and it is amazeballs. {nm} Willroast Oct 13, 19:25

I want to watch it with the wife, so I have had to bide my time this week. Saturday night, or lobogotti Oct 14, 05:25

Grey Gardens, oh my word what a lovely doc! {nm} lobogotti Oct 14, 05:24
