The Good Place (NBC) TV Show • Page 84

only problem was they went overboard with bearimy, every time they said it I was like

 

Yeah, the whole concept of bearimy has been lame to me from the beginning

 

I feel like years don’t really register there though and “bearimy” was the only unit of time we’d ever heard of in the afterlife so how else would they really express that something had been a long long time.

 

Just got the chance to watch this with my family now--

This is heart-destroying. I was kind of hopung for some wacky hijinx, but this is cool too. Somehow the thing that hit me the hardest was when they gave Jeff a real-life frog. Mr. Jumpylegs Forever

 

holy shit, Michael naming his dog Jason

 

Yeah, I wasn't initially onboard with the whole "door thing" but I think it's good that the show doesn't romanticize the idea of "eternity" and insteas opts to celebrate living in the moment with the people you love.

 

perfection. setting/raising the bar for the rest of 2020, if not the rest of eternity!

 

Also I still don't get Jeremy Bearimy. I thought it was like an infinite loop, so everything eventually happens again. So idk how they can live through multiple Bearimy's in a continuous life.

 

I'm not going to pretend I have a real grasp of Jeremy Bearimy because I'm an idiot, but I assumed it was a calendar year for the afterlife. It loops like our Jan-Dec, but it's more wiggly and weird. I always thought the dot on the i is a joke on leap year, or something.

I'm glad they use it

 

I feel like it was one of those things sitcoms often struggle from. Where they put at joke in there but then they wanna keep using the joke and wind up twisting the thing from how it was originally convinced.

Parks and Rec did the same thing with Cones of Dunshire. The whole joke when Ben first made it was that it was this overly complicated trash game. But then they were like "oh people liked that joke lets turn it into an actual thing where people actually like to play it"

Or kinda like how Mindy made it to the medium place, despite no one else in the last 400 years making it to the good place, and Mindy clearly not being the very best person on earth during that time.

Really its just best not to think about and just enjoy the show

 

It’s not a loop, it’s separate from what we understand as the way time works. It goes backwards and forwards and has its own dot and just exists in a nonlinear way. But basically yeah it’s just a joke to express time in a place where time doesn’t matter at all.

 

It was satisfying to see Brent being told he's wrong, but I do kind of wish we got to see him eventually get to the good place so we have some proof that the new system can work for everyone, but oh well.

 

I remember being excited at them introducing the idea of Jeremy Bearimy but even in that ep they did absolutely nothing interesting with it

 

Jeremy Bearimy is the exact kind of nonsensical goofy shit I watched this show for

 

the last line was so perfect

 

Someone mentioned that this makes two iconic shows where Ted has the last line and it’s one that perfectly sums up the show.

 

I didn’t find this as emotional as I expected but it was a good enough way to end the show.

 

I loved this so so much

 

I cried a lot. I'll miss these characters.

 

I cried a lot too. Been thinking a lot lately about the idea of living without your loved ones, and the sense that they would all choose to move on into nothing was too much for me, even though they wrapped it in a lovely bow. It was hard to explain to my girlfriend why I was sobbing at three in the afternoon during Jason’s dance routine.

 

Fantastic ending

 

Finally watched the finale last night.

Really good ending, and Jason’s reveal killed me lol.

 

Didn’t love or hate the last ep, in general I thought it was too sad, and I wish the show wasn’t over k thanks byeeeee

 

I loved the ending. After everything they've been through and everything they've accomplished, it was nice to just spend some quality time with these characters. I kept tearing up throughout.
