The Good Place
Chapter 19 - The Trolley Problem
Season 2, Episode 6
October 19, 2017
One of the more explicitly philosophy and ethics focused episodes of the show.
"My name is Kierkegaard and my writing is impeccable, check out my teleological suspension of the ethical."
I liked Michael's analysis of Les Miserables.
The physical manifestation of the trolley problem was pretty intense, and I loved the little gleam of pleasure you could see Michael was taking in it before it's revealed he was torturing Chidi.
Eleanor's confrontation with Michael was fun, especially how she kept wavering on how much she shared his enjoyment. "I can't high five that, no matter how badly I want to".
The subplot of Janet starting to glitch because of the Tahani/Jason relationship had some interesting moments. "What has one thumb and wants to keep going? This not a lady."
And of course Eleanor's reaction to the endless shrimp machine.
Podcast is Jackson talking with William Jackson Harper and Dr. Todd May, a philosophical adviser for the show, with a wide-ranging conversation about ethics, philosophy raps and blood cannons.
