The Good Place
Chapter 51 - Patty
Season 4, Episode 12
January 23, 2020
And we finally get to The Good Place (well, except for the mailroom visit).
Loved how casually Jason hides Michael's weed.
The Jason and Eleanor aspects of the party really do seem to overwhelm the more understated Chidi and Tahani elements.
Knew that Good Place Committee couldn't be trusted, but still surprised by what they did. Loved their whiteboard of ideas, especially "Giant Mini Donuts (not just regular donuts. Dave will explain)".
Lisa Kudrow was a pretty good guest star to pull at this point, especially for someone whose brain is a little mushy. Especially with the on-going joke about Michael's obsession with the show Friends.
And a final afterlife problem for our team to figure out. The solution and how it was presented have been and will continue to be debated for a long time, but after seeing the finale multiple times in the last week, I'm pretty happy with it. Part of me wonders what they would have done if they took a full season to explore and fix The Good Place, but that might have opened up all sorts of other problems.
A very satisfying conclusion to set up a very different denouement for the finale.
And on the podcast with Marc Evan Jackson is producer/director Morgan Sackett and writer Andrew Law (he plays Drew on the Good Place Committee).
