The Good Place | SE03E13 | "Pandemonium" | OAD 1/24/2019

Jeremy Bearimy, baby.

 

I liked it. I think it sets up really well for next season. I'm curious who they could get to torture Jason next season.

I love that Chidi's ex is being brought back, she was great earlier in the season. I suppose that could bring up a love triangle, which I'm not that excited about.

Janet's advice was on point.

I liked the bit where Eleanor said "for a robot, you're becoming a really good girlfriend" and Janet responded, "I'm only one of those three things."


Awww, she's her friend.

 

Speculation: By the end of the series, Janet will be running everything.

 

Shoot, I even got a laugh out of the episode description that appeared on the TiVo

 

More food puns-
Sushi and the banshees
Beignet and the Jets


Season finale? What a bunch of cork blorkers! But I do appreciate how the curse filter maintains the rhyme-nice attention to detail!

Got awfully dusty during Michael's movie he made for Eleanor and Chidi...

 

It's impressive how moving that was...

 

Great episode. And the podcast for this episode is also excellent, with Mike Schur and Ted Danson as guests.

Can't believe the season is over already and now we have to wait many months before we get more. I like that they stuck to their guns and kept this show at 13 episodes per season, as I'm sure that plays a big part in the quality, but it doesn't make it any easier to wait out the long breaks.

I was kind of surprised we didn't see Derek or have any issues with the "people" he helped Janet create. But I guess his brand of wackiness wouldn't really fit with the feeling of this episode.

 

Hi Chidi my name is Elenor. Come on in. Sigh.

 

One of the original four is now one of the new four, with his ex from when he was on Earth the second time (that he nor she remembers, but the new Architect does) one of the other new four. Oh, and the new Architect is one of the original four.

I'd say this qualifies as a pretty big reset.

 

Wait, I don't think Chidi is one of the new four, is he? Since Sean and Co. are picking the new humans, I don't think they'd agree to give up one of their spots. So my understanding is there will be five new humans next season - the four chosen by the Bad Place, plus Chidi.

 

I believe you’re correct because Michael said that the Judge would let them welcome the other two humans the next morning.

 

Yeah, clearly Eleanor is not the new Architect; she doesn't have it in her (literally). She's just pretending, to cover for Michael (who remains the actual Architect).

 

I don't think that was up for debate. The question is whether we'll see two more new humans next season, or just one. I'm pretty sure we'll see two. In fact, I'm pretty sure Mike Schur said on the podcast that they hadn't cast the other two humans at the time this episode was filmed, but that they are now starting to work on S4 so that will need to be done soon.

 

Well, that wasn't in question...they explicitly said in the show that there would be two more people showing up the next day...

 

Well, apparently someone thought it was in question, which is why we've been discussing it.

 

She is, "for now". They detailed that plan in the episode, Michael is supposedly her assistant and when he gets it together, it will transaction back to him. In the meantime, she is absolutely being portrayed to the new inhabitants as the Architect. They even made it a point to say that claiming Janet as the Architect would have been a better idea.
