No, winking is bad. You should not be winking. Or saying the word wink!
Hey, that's weeks earlier than I was expecting! Good news.
I was expecting a return in February or March at the worst so this is really great.
I figured the after life technology and powers would be able to legitimately find soul mates if they want toSo, do you guys think that the soul mates are real in that universe? I mean, not the suggested couples, just the concept of it in the real good place. The logistics are a bit weird. How come both arrive at the good place at the same time? The first one to die has it soul frozen in time?
Frozen until the time is right sounds like a good guess. Mindy St. Claire says she was "sleeping" until they decided upon sending her to the Medium Place, so it wouldn't be surprising that other souls would go through the same thing in regards to waiting for soul mates.So, do you guys think that the soul mates are real in that universe?

Around 30 years since she woke up dead and started living in the Medium Place, unless she had visitors before (which seems unlikely). This is what she says about her time there:Like: did Mindy ever state approximately how long she had been around as of the very first time she was paid a visit?
So, most of what we know about the overall Bad Place/Good Place and the people who staff it comes from Michael, and since most of it's from the first season we should probably be taking it with a pretty mountainous grain of salt. Clearly, they work on long time scales, but not incredibly long - Michael's proposal that he could get humans to torture each other for a thousand years was treated as fairly impressive, which does seem to bely his claim of being literally timeless, since by the universe's standards that's fuckin' nothing. "A thousand years? Great, what about the next 14 billion?" So they probably haven't been doing this since literally forever.I've definitely got looots of questions related to time scale, lol.
The biggest question in my mind: the next episode might clear this up a bit, but the fact that Michael's experiment was left to run for 200-250 years seemingly completely unnoticed by Shawn tells us that the demons, or whatever they'd like to call themselves, operate on absurdly long time scales relative to how long humans normally live. Humanity, as a race, however, hasn't really been around all that long - quick Googling tells me we only know of human societies (as opposed to more animalistic nomads) dating back 30,000 years. If 250 years is a drop in the bucket, then certainly they weren't torturing intelligent humans all this time...?
The only explanation that makes sense to me is that whatever they're in doesn't actually have time that flows the same way it does on Earth - what the characters perceived as 250 years of time isn't actually the amount of time that has passed on Earth since they died. But maybe we can work this out with a few more data points. Like: did Mindy ever state approximately how long she had been around as of the very first time she was paid a visit?
So I just went to Netflix to see the new episode and apparently there isn't one? Where did this show go? I don't understand American TV schedules (they make no sense), when will this come back?
January 4th is what it says above. I have noticed a few shows having mid-season breaks.So I just went to Netflix to see the new episode and apparently there isn't one? Where did this show go? I don't understand American TV schedules (they make no sense), when will this come back?
It was replaced by football until JanuarySo I just went to Netflix to see the new episode and apparently there isn't one? Where did this show go? I don't understand American TV schedules (they make no sense), when will this come back?
It has been explained several times, but the Thanksgiving holiday in the US is soon. It always falls on a Thursday, and there is football in the weeks leading up to it (because America) so all the shows airing on Thursday go to bed for a bit.So I just went to Netflix to see the new episode and apparently there isn't one?

New episodes start in January.
Okay, thanks everyone! I get taking a break for thanksgiving but staying gone until January?! What is on American TV for all of December? jfkgoblu suggests it's football, but surely there can't be football all the time?
It literally is 8 weeks of Thursday Night Football. So in December it is just football on Thursday nights.Okay, thanks everyone! I get taking a break for thanksgiving but staying gone until January?!

Goddamn, America sucks. It's definitely THE bad place.It literally is 8 weeks of Thursday Night Football. So in December it is just football on Thursday nights.
Mike Schur's critically beloved comedy will be back for another 13 episodes.
The Good Place isn't going anywhere.
NBC has renewed the critically acclaimed comedy for a third season. Like its first and second seasons, the third installment of the sitcom starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson will consist of 13 episodes. Other castmembers include William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto and D'Arcy Carden.
Expected, but good place news nonetheless.
Good to hear. I enjoy watching this show.
Yes!!!! That's great to hear.
