The Good Place (NBC) TV Show • Page 72

another one I forgot was "we've created cosmic Coachella!" absolute gold

 

yeah I'm almost upset the show didn't end with "you were right, Michael. Everything is fine." I say almost

 

Yeah like I would have been actively happy if this was the finale, they didn't really leave any loose ends

That's why I think it might get really depressing next week if they deal with the group wanting to end their existence

 

My guess is Tahani walks through the door

 

I can't imagine a show this ultimately optimistic and hopeful ending on a dark note, honestly. No one *has* to use the door, it's just important the option is there. Free will n all that

 

I think the point is that ending that way shouldn’t be depressing to us. If it ends how I imagine it will end, they will have lived full lives and enjoyed paradise and have decided to leave on their own terms. That’s not sad, it’s beautiful and romantic and sweet and ideal.

Also feels like a metaphor for the show itself, having decided to end after four seasons rather than forcing itself to go on.

 

Yeah it will likely be similar to the last episode of P&R where it gives a montage of the rest of their lives in the good place until they ultimately choose to end it on their own.

Also I was expecting the people in the good place to be bored and unfulfilled, but I was thinking the solution would be more that whenever they get like that, they go back to work at the tests to try to help others get into the good place

 

I think it’s closer to willfully reaching nirvana than it is to assisted suicide. Even in the good place you’re not free from suffering, it’s just a different kind.

 

Yeah, I do get the message that it's portraying. But I guess I worry about an impressionable young teen struggling through depression watching their favorite, optimistic show and misinterpreting it as "suicide will finally bring you peace". Hard to think rationally when you're struggling through suicidal thoughts

 

I really think that they'll find out that the "solution" is genuinely flawed and have to find a better solution in the last episode. I can't imagine this show going out on anything but a chaotic note.

 

I think that’s a pretty huge stretch tbh

 

Yeah, just a matter of opinion I guess. I hope they reverse it in the finale but get the feeling they won't. It kind of ruins the show for me tbh. They just went with the idea Eleanor came up with in like a 2 second thought and there are definitely more options than just simply ceasing to exist.

People could work in the new purgatory helping others get into the good place, go to the bad place temporarily to see what goes on there, go back to Earth, be reincarnated, or to Michael's suggestion, just reboot them. Honestly, Chidis reason of "but you did that to torture us!" Is a pretty weak excuse. Their lives were still better than they were on Earth during that, and it kept them from losing their minds anyways. Give them the option to even learn their past versions of themselves like Michael did for Jason and Chidi

 

nothing about any schur show in the past would lead me to believe this will go out on anything other than a slightly cheesy but nice heartwarming note

 

The finale is called “Whenever You’re Ready”, so they probably cycle through centuries together in a beautiful montage until they’re sick of existence and end it.

Then I hope they get reincarnated or something. But yeah, they’re all going through that door with the rest of heaven and all the people who get brought up.

 

Eleanor of the Cheesecake Factory Bar

 

Top notch wrestling reference in this ep.

 

Gonna be Chidi I think and I'm going to cry

 

I would think all of them do eventually

 

Its gonna end exactly like Lost except people will get it this time

 

“It’s cool, ma babies,” destroyed me.

 

I can't believe I've been to the good place many times, it's The Getty!!!

 

I love how the show continues to subvert expectations with Jason being the one who within an hour realizes one of the fundamental problems of the concept of heaven

 

I was really hoping they were going for a reincarnation thing at first

 

I’m ready for this to end. I want to see how they end it but I doubt it’s gonna do anything that makes me want to watch it again or be a show I think about in the future. The first season or two were fantastic but the third and this season seem formulaic and repetitive.

 

Agreed. And this season felt like it had very dragged out moments and then moments that were really rushed? This last episode felt like a season's worth of material, and yet we had to spend half the season with freaking Brent and the gang
