I just read that this was the fall finale!? I guess the final five episodes will be in the new year? 

Shit

 

But if they were going to put a mid season finale at any point, that was the time to do it.

That was one of the most emotionally effective episodes they’ve done. I’ve been jonesing more and more for a greater focus on Chidi (I totally get why he had to be somewhat in the background until now) and that was so satisfying.

I don’t get it. Isn’t 1/30 the finale? If so, they’d have to return on the 2nd, not the 9th. Or there’s less than 5 left? Or there’s still at least one more episode in 2019?

The finale is considered 2 episodes

[Josh]

Ahhhh. That makes sense.

[Ruki]

It's back tonight!!!!

It was good and gave me the warm and fuzzies. 

[St. Dubb]

It was pretty great. 

Spoiler

Loved the Timothy Olyphant cameo. No idea what story is left that can span another 2 hours worth of show but I can't wait to see it either way.

This is my big concern too. For a show that never held off on moving forward on a plot point, it feels like they are really desperately clinging to this last final run and milking it. It's not bad, but it's very noticeable.

[Josh]

Oh, I don’t feel that way at all.

[Ruki]

The last two minutes of that episode was just fantastic and make me almost happy cry. 

[Benjamin]

I need that Chainsaw Bear t-shirt.

[St. Dubb]

I need that chainsaw bear

[Ruki]

Is this an S or a math?!

 

I'm not sure I'm ready for this to end next week.

[Bobfoc]

If the finale doesn't end happily, I'll just pretend this week's episode was the finale.

This was a tremendously good one. It both answered “Where’s the conflict if they’re going to the Good Place?” and reminded us what this series has been about all along. And that was perfect casting of a guest star.

Of course, now I’m back to “Where’s the conflict?” or “What’s left to say?”, but I’m continually surprised by Schur and the whole crew and I’m excited to watch and cry next week.

Yeah this

[Ruki]

Literally all the tears.

[Ruki]

Only partway through the episode, but I've been crying almost the whoile time.

[Ruki]

All the emotions.
