  • See that would have been awesome episode. The A-plot is Michael and Chidi go looking for the Good Place Architects hitting a couple of cool Niednagels, maybe visit the IHOP only to find them be yelled at by Shawn. And they’re happy there because they think that him abusing them makes him happy and making someone else happy at their expense is good.
    The B-plot is watching Jason become disappointed by go-karting with monkeys.
    Michael Schur call me. 🤙


  • Oh no. I loved season 4. The talks, the getting a handle on the metaphysical post death reality. Vicky finally getting to be the director she always wanted to be. The love story between Michael and Shawn. No I loved season 4, the only note I had was I could have used one more episode explaining/exploring how fucked up the endless ‘happiness’ of the good place was. I mean they could have easily done a whole B-plot of Jason and monkeys riding go-karts.









  • Are you talking about when the executive function is completely offline? Because if that’s hitting hard and I’m going “I’m hungry but I can’t make anything” my go to is a quesadilla.
    Seriously if I can stand and heat a frying pan, it becomes easygoing to warm up some tortillas in the fry pan and throw some cheese between them. Bingo bango bongo you’ve got a Mexican cheese sandwich.
    And then as I’m eating the first one I can be making a second and maybe throw in some ham or some salami, or better yet some leftover taco meat. All of a sudden I’m not so hungry and I’m happier having eaten something and maybe I can be motivated to eat some veggies or fruit.




  • Yeah and I had some problems with the concept at first. Everyone was selling it as the hard science fiction show and yet it focused the proto molecule and that’s not hard science fiction. Plus I got annoyed with them spending so much time on the float but using mag-boots but not looking like they’re still in zero G. I know you can’t shoot the show on the vomit comet but really just spend more time under thrust, I’ll be happier.


  • I agree about how good The Expanse books are, but I’m on the other side of coin about the tv series. I had a hard time getting into the series the first time I tried to watch it. I don’t think I quite what they were doing at first but now having read the first four books I started rewatching the first season and it totally clicked this time I’m tearing through the TV series this time.






  • Yeah Atul …

    Atul

    Sometimes you don’t get to say goodbye and that sucks. One day they’re just gone. But with Atul I kept it together because the reason he just disappeared was that he didn’t need us. He could go to the door on his own and yeah he should have said goodbye at least but … well it sucks but I like to remember the happy frog at the party.

    For me it was Stanley and Alice

    Alice

    God it was heartbreaking watching her mind slowly dissolve and get lost. That’s where it hit me how important Stella’s job was. How important having someone with her at the end, helping and not even saying anything just being there is. I couldn’t do it but I’m grateful for the people who can.

    Stanley

    Fuck as a parent that got me. Fuck you god! I know that life isn’t fair but that really wasn’t fair. And watching his mom fall apart from his eyes … Her ‘Fakenegs’ … her fear in watching his fear … I’ve never been tested like that and I hope I could do better but man I understand her failing.


  • Stovetop gives a great explanation of the mechanics so I’ll just add about the vibes. Spiritfarer is sweet and kind at its heart. The main interface of the game is giving hugs and cooking the favourite foods of your passengers. You explore both physically in your boat and in the lives of your friends, and hopefully you come to understand a little bit about life and death. And patience too, sometimes you’re not really stuck you’re just not ready yet.
