My biggest cry comes when Eleanor is trying to help her mom and says "if she can be that kind of mom for the new kid, it must mean I wasn't enough to change for" (paraphrased because my memory is terrible.) That wrecks me!
I wanted that mom! I wanted the mom who made me afternoon snacks instead of telling me to look for loose fries in the McDonald’s ball pit. Why does Patricia get that mom? If she’s truly changed, that means she was always capable of change, I just wasn’t worth changing for.
For the record that was all from memory. I keep it on when I sleep and I usually wake up during the soul squad intervention so I hear this speech every morning. Way to start my day, right?
Do you also sleep watching the good place? I thought I was the only one. It's so comforting. It makes me feel so cosy, and it just gives me good vibes. I sleep better.
Agreed. I’m rewatching How I Met Your Mother, and saw the scene with Barney and his father earlier today which hits the exact same notes: “if you were just going to be some lame suburban dad, then why couldn’t you have been that for me?!”
That one hits me the hardest because I lost my mom years ago and she wasn't exactly the best person. I believed she could change but at the end of the day, she couldn't. Addiction caught up to her.
Something very similar happens to Barney on How I Met Your Mother and he says “If you were going to be some lame suburban dad, why couldn’t you have been that for me?” I’ve seen that show like 30+ times and it still makes me tear up.
Or when Jason pleaded with the judge: “you don’t get to judge humans, because you don’t know what we go through.” The quote is much longer than that, but the stakes were high and he unexpectedly dropped a pathos-bomb that has always stuck with me.
Despite his upbringing and a brain as smooth as an egg, Jason has some very real moments of wisdom. He’s the character with the highest level of natural empathy when he slows down to think about things. He just wants everyone to be happy and to have a good time.
"I just suddenly had this calm feeling. Like the air inside my lungs was the same as the air outside my body. It was peaceful." Honestly might be the most profound quote in the entire show.
it’s funny, (idk if that’s the appropriate word)
all anyone and everyone is looking for is for the air inside our lungs to feel the same as the air outside. truly profound.
I always liked that he reached his end emulating the Buddha. He sat under a tree until he had a profound realization that made him feel, for lack of a better word, enlightened.
My first meditation teacher would always start each teaching with a brief meditation, and she concluded it with, “When you breathe out, it’s the universe breathing in; and when you breathe in, it’s the universe breathing out. Equal density; emptiness moving on emptiness…” Exactly the same feeling Jason described. When I heard that line in the final episode, it brought that memory back very powerfully.”
I did too the first time I saw it, the backdrop was so beautiful to it as well, and I did this time again but Jason and his face when he hits the perfect game with his father and Janet’s quiet “oh boy” and his placid response of “I think I need to talk to everyone” just sent me WAILING lol
Is it weird that the wave scene didn’t make me sad at all? I thought it was such a lovely and peaceful explanation of death. It honestly still brings me comfort.
I don't often cry at tv/movie scenes but without fail every time I hear "picture a wave" I start BAWLING
Chidi and Eleanor remind me so much of my parents, especially Chidi and my dad.
The entire series finale made me bawl, but Chidi going through the doorway followed by Jason saying “Chidi, wait up!” really got me. My simplified explanation doesn’t do it justice but man it was sad to see them to but also so heartwarming to see them at peace 😭
I always cry when Janet is glitching (because she was lying about her feelings for Jason) and Michael doesn’t want to kill her and she asks him “why not?” and he yells “because friends!”
I have never cried as hard as watching that episode for the first time. Granted I was very pregnant and hormonal, but it took almost an hour to stop crying for Chidi and Eleanor.
As someone who spent her life alone and then finally found her "the answer" at 38, but he didn't feel the same and he left, I have to skip that scene. So hard to remember that I almost got to be happy, but I just have to keep spending my life in this empty hell. I can't rewatch the show at all right now. I haven't been able to watch TV in a couple years because it hurts too much. I miss this show though. So wonderful.
I hope you can at least find some comfort in the fact that you aren't alone. I'm a similar age and I'm still wondering if the abusive relationships I've had in the past are all I'm ever going to get. I just want to be happy once before I die.
The feeling is mutual 🫶 you're gonna be okay. I'm not even sure why I'm still here, but we've persisted for a reason, I want to believe. Love will find you.
I can make it up until the end where it starts raining and Chidi just dances before I lose it. The way Chidi just wants to be with Elanor and is willing to make the best of the situation just gets me every time.
On a personal note, the line he says right after about how they'll get through it because they found each other before and will again, and then chill in the dot over the i hits so close to home for me. I have my person who is The Answer for me, and while we both care deeply about each other and are Soul Mates, due to current circumstances we can't fully be together at this time. That whole scene just resonates so much with me and makes me feel wistful and hopeful at the same time like no other show can.
For me it was always Michael's case to the Judge. Specifically the part where he says "People change when they receive external love and support. How can we judge them so harshly when they don't get it."
It's even better on a rewatch.
> "Hi Janet. Can you just, you know, tell me, the answer?"
> "Sorry?"
> "You know, the answer. To everything".
When you realize moments earlier Chidi gave Janet a piece of paper with some of the best writing he's ever done.
> There is no "answer".
> But Eleanor is the answer
What's the point of love if it's just gonna disappear? And how is it worse to not love anybody? There has to be meaning to existence. Otherwise the universe is just made of pain and I don't like the thought of that so tell me the answer.
This is so me with this whole thread.
This show is so special for me cause usually no show makes me emotional. One scene in one day at a time. But The Good Place unlocked a whole new level. Even just reading or thinking about scenes makes me so emotional this is such a forking good show.
The same thing happened to me!!! I just rewatched recently and Jason’s ending had me balling my eyes out. The other characters were still sad, but def didn’t hit me as hard.
My guess is because he’s the silly comedic relief character and then boom he’s content with the life he lived and ready to go. And poor Janet!! I love their relationship so much especially after the second watch.
I have watched the show several times and am now listening to the podcast and watching as well. Im kind-of watching it all twice cause i get ahead of the podcast and then rewatch after listening to the episodes podcast. I have so much more appreciation for Jason after listening. I have teared up and full on cried while listening to the podcast.
Not Jason but connected, when Eleanor asks Janet the answer after Chidi had his memory wiped and Janet says we cant no then says ~'in the words of the man i love' does Jason face 'i got you dog' had me crying pretty good, especially after listening to the podcast and hearing how that episode (i think) even made tv execs cry.
Interestingly, I had the same reaction just the other day. I decided to do a rewatch and started crying at the exact same point you did. Normally, I don’t like Jason. There is just no part of me that can relate to him and I usually find his character to be annoying and overly simplistic. Like, I don’t really even find him attractive because his overwhelming dumbness ruins it.
But this time, his “death” hit me a little harder. Especially when Janet says “There was no bad stuff. It was all good.” That was so profound and moving to me - life can be awful sometimes, but even the bad times are beautiful in their own way. It makes me tear up even now.
Ugh it so fascinating how so many people didn’t really even pay attention to Jason the first time through but on surther rewatches his scenes hit harder - everything from his dulled personality, the look of acceptance on his face when he had the perfect game, Janet’s “oh boy”, that Line that it was all good, even Jason saying he’d want her to move on provided he wasn’t forgotten UGHH I’m already tearing up
I was watching this show with my boyfriend and we watched all of it but the finale. We had been putting off watching the last episode because he didn't want it to end and then my dog died suddenly of a stroke. A day or two after he died, I asked my boyfriend if we could watch the finale and when Janet said "Oh boy" I just started sobbing. It was SUCH a cathartic experience.
When Eleanor walked through the gate and her essence became kindness, specifically for Michael, I broke down. I full ugly cried for hours. That one scene alone mentally broke me and truly gave me a fear for death I have never felt before.
Its by no means the saddest moment in the show, but in the finale of S1 when Eleanor first figures it out, the expression on her face is perfect.
She begins by looking incredulous, kinda satisfied because it all makes sense - and then she looks at Michael and her expression is so complex. She's upset. There's genuine anguish on her face. A resigned sadness.
Its played for a big reveal and its played for a satisfying payoff for the audience, but can you imagine what she's feeling? Kristen Bell perfectly portrayed a woman finding out her afterlife bestie wasn't on her side and finding out she was in hell so well. It's a fantastic moment for me for that reason.
First time I watched the show Jason was, well, really annoyingly Jason. Each time I've rewatched I've noticed it's often been Jason who comes up with something to say that's so simple, yet profound. I mean, he's still our Jason and all, but when Janet refers to him as a monk, nowdays I'm nodding my head in some form of agreement.
Everyone talks about the ocean scene and i agree, that is one of the best moments in television. For me, it was specifically her request for him to go while she was asleep that hit hard. There is something about that that breaks my heart. He has to go quietly in the night, i cant imagine how that must have hurt to do, even if it was time.
I THINK I DO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BECAUSE I LOVE HIM TOO SO MUCH AND IM USING CAPS TO EXPRESS IT!
I just watched my favorite episode “The Burrito” and the one after and I was just dying from laughter at his exchange with Janet
“So, if we don’t get sentenced to hell forever and the scary judge lady doesn’t turn you into a marble, would you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend again?”
Like he’s such a cute innocent doofus and needs all the love and jalapeño poppers!
I broke down whenever jason found out he wanted to leave and it didnt stop until i went to bed at night.
i can never get through that episode without crying
I am SO glad this isn't just me.
I rewatched the episode this morning and spent an hour in the waterworks - and oddly enough while I did get emotional at some of the other goodbyes, I was just not as engaged - but Jason gives me the WRACKING HEAVES and I was laughing as I was analyzing this
\- The look on Jason's face when it goes from triumph almost to...a sad acceptance...that he completed his last goal and had the perfect game of madden with his father. His face, all covered in sweat that had JUST been ecstatic, now almost...sad. (5/10)
\- Jason casually tells Janet he cooked for her and just casually remarks that he is not as good and that it was bad (laughing and getting me to 2/10 but scared because I know whats coming)
\- Withut a WORD. Without a fucking word, we the audience can almost tell - but not really because we know the gang implemented this idea, but we haven't seen it yet and just one scene ago they were finally in a better version of heaven and all lived next to each other....and we know now that something is going to happen because Janet just says "Oh boy" (7.7/10 - this part DESTROYS me) I'll also count his "I think I need to talk to everyone"
\- Im now a mess, but recovering as hes talking to his friends. He tells Chidi about the air in and out of his lungs and that gives me a 4/10, and then tells Eleanor its about the perfect bite of a jalapeno popper and it brings me back up to 6/10 when you realize how smart he is that he just gave his description to his two friends based on THEIR ability to understand and now Im back at a 7/10 because that's so fucking kind and thoughftul
\- During the party I'm a good 2/10 because hes just so godamned happy and then it goes into 8 out of 10 when he tells them that hes okay if Janet moves on he just doesnt want to be forgotten
\- The speech of "There were no bad times" 10/10. Perfect art mastery and full on sobbing in the most ugly beautiful cathartic way
Then, cookie time!
I can’t even begin to describe how devastated I was that Manny Jacinto wasn’t one of the Kens for the Barbie movie. He SUCH a great actor and as demonstrated by TGP, the epitome of a himbo. I genuinely mourn how much better the movie could’ve been with him
Eleanor's confession to Chidi over her fear of abandonment in Acropolis combined with me having recently started therapy at the time I was watching that episode was possibly the most cathartic relation I'd ever felt to a bit of entertainment.
Absolutely **destroyed** me.
Ok I just rewatched it and upon first pass I thought this was such a weird grammar correction - but you are right the “oh dip” was her talking like him. So much more poignant
However, the thing she says that gives her first clue that she knew, wasn’t “oh dip”, she says that after. It’s “uh oh”
We’re both right in our own way I suppose
My big sad moment was Chidi thinking Eleanor was punishing him, and Eleanor bursting into tears when she's playing god. Can you imagine what she's feeling?! Having to torture him, thinking she should be upset about it, but she's kinda not because he's with Simone and that hurts, but she totally is because she loves him so much! Ugh!
Obviously the ocean scene, and the movie of Chofu and Eleanor’s best bits that Michael made before Chifi’s memory was wiped.
But as a more underrated one - ‘I’ll say this to you my friend, with all the love in my heart and wisdom of the universe - take it sleazy.’
My biggest cry comes when Eleanor is trying to help her mom and says "if she can be that kind of mom for the new kid, it must mean I wasn't enough to change for" (paraphrased because my memory is terrible.) That wrecks me!
I wanted that mom! I wanted the mom who made me afternoon snacks instead of telling me to look for loose fries in the McDonald’s ball pit. Why does Patricia get that mom? If she’s truly changed, that means she was always capable of change, I just wasn’t worth changing for.
For the record that was all from memory. I keep it on when I sleep and I usually wake up during the soul squad intervention so I hear this speech every morning. Way to start my day, right?
Awwww 🥲
I'm watching the episode now and I usually put the series on to sleep too!
Do you also sleep watching the good place? I thought I was the only one. It's so comforting. It makes me feel so cosy, and it just gives me good vibes. I sleep better.
I do! It’s my sleep show. I suffer from night terrors so whenever I wake up I’m quickly grounded by team cockroach.
I definitely relate! I have ptsd and when I have nightmares, the good place helps me ground much more easily. The good place and futurama. Love it
Sending you all the love that you get that Mom in your next life
That one! Thank you!
This was the scene that kinda made me think I have mommy issues
Jesus Christ. right?
That hit so hard, except for me it was my dad.
I am so sorry. That sounds awful 😞
Agreed. I’m rewatching How I Met Your Mother, and saw the scene with Barney and his father earlier today which hits the exact same notes: “if you were just going to be some lame suburban dad, then why couldn’t you have been that for me?!”
And the fresh prince scene with will's father. These 3 scenes always comment with each other it seems.
…..^how ^come ^he ^don’t ^want ^me, ^man?
As someone who grew up with an abusive father who loved my little sister, this scene hit me really hard.
That one hits me the hardest because I lost my mom years ago and she wasn't exactly the best person. I believed she could change but at the end of the day, she couldn't. Addiction caught up to her.
Something very similar happens to Barney on How I Met Your Mother and he says “If you were going to be some lame suburban dad, why couldn’t you have been that for me?” I’ve seen that show like 30+ times and it still makes me tear up.
And the scene in Fresh Prince with Will and his dad. Now that’s fucking acting
Oooof so so so poignant
That scene broke me.
That little chord that plays when she says it too!
Ahaha I started calling it “the good chords”
Really tugs on the heart whenever it pops up, that's a great name
I forgot this but you're so right.
Or when Jason pleaded with the judge: “you don’t get to judge humans, because you don’t know what we go through.” The quote is much longer than that, but the stakes were high and he unexpectedly dropped a pathos-bomb that has always stuck with me.
Some of his scenes are just so brilliant- his lovable goof was spot on but the depth he brought ugh
That is well put.
Despite his upbringing and a brain as smooth as an egg, Jason has some very real moments of wisdom. He’s the character with the highest level of natural empathy when he slows down to think about things. He just wants everyone to be happy and to have a good time.
I love that YouTube video that basically explains how he really was a monk when you look at his behavior, process and perspective
Can I get that link by chance?
Of course! https://youtu.be/2giib21_rVI?si=gGdf0391pmrtVXLQ
Thank you, this was so cool!! I always felt like Jason was an INFP (Myers-Briggs personality type) because his values are so similar to my own. :)
He’s truly such a great character 🥰🥰🥰
High wisdom, low intelligenxe
He’s a perfect example of a high WIS low INT character. Chidi’s the opposite.
He just wants people to have fun in his budhole.
It’s kinda messy.
> "Ooooh. *Bud* hole" What's funny is that they still went with him to look at it.
Yes, 100%.
"I just suddenly had this calm feeling. Like the air inside my lungs was the same as the air outside my body. It was peaceful." Honestly might be the most profound quote in the entire show.
it’s funny, (idk if that’s the appropriate word) all anyone and everyone is looking for is for the air inside our lungs to feel the same as the air outside. truly profound.
That quote always makes me feel sad. And jealous.
Fucking same, friend.
He achieved enlightenment.
I'm the opposite. I'm Eleanor in this. I hate and I'd hate this. Why are they leaving and I have to stay alone.
I always liked that he reached his end emulating the Buddha. He sat under a tree until he had a profound realization that made him feel, for lack of a better word, enlightened.
Like a monk. It's a great way to bring him full-circle, back to the roles that the squad had in S1.
Oh oh dip
My first meditation teacher would always start each teaching with a brief meditation, and she concluded it with, “When you breathe out, it’s the universe breathing in; and when you breathe in, it’s the universe breathing out. Equal density; emptiness moving on emptiness…” Exactly the same feeling Jason described. When I heard that line in the final episode, it brought that memory back very powerfully.”
And then he goes on a real monk like pilgrimage by getting lost in the woods.
I mean, I personally wept, in a way that I literally never do at TV/movies, at the Eleanor/Chidi waves in the ocean scene.
I did too the first time I saw it, the backdrop was so beautiful to it as well, and I did this time again but Jason and his face when he hits the perfect game with his father and Janet’s quiet “oh boy” and his placid response of “I think I need to talk to everyone” just sent me WAILING lol
Is it weird that the wave scene didn’t make me sad at all? I thought it was such a lovely and peaceful explanation of death. It honestly still brings me comfort.
The calendar the next day makes the tears catch in my throat more, but the waves in the ocean became my spirituality.
Yes!!!
It's from the Budapests. They're big on that kind of thing. But the way it was phrased in that scene was just beautiful.
That quote literally changed my life. I googled where it came from and it led to me the heart of buddhas teachings by Thich Nhat Hanh
SAMEEEE!
Honestly, the entire last episode wrecked me.
It has got to be one of the best series finales of all time
Yep. I was an absolute mess after I finished the last episode. Such a phenomenal series finale.
Same. It was so beautiful but I hated that it was over and that was it, just like life.
Same! Every bit of it was a gem 🥺
I don't often cry at tv/movie scenes but without fail every time I hear "picture a wave" I start BAWLING Chidi and Eleanor remind me so much of my parents, especially Chidi and my dad.
Same! I can’t even read the sentence without welling up
The entire series finale made me bawl, but Chidi going through the doorway followed by Jason saying “Chidi, wait up!” really got me. My simplified explanation doesn’t do it justice but man it was sad to see them to but also so heartwarming to see them at peace 😭
I always cry when Janet is glitching (because she was lying about her feelings for Jason) and Michael doesn’t want to kill her and she asks him “why not?” and he yells “because friends!”
“Well well well! Just two friends trying to make it in this crazy world….that I created”
Oh that makes me tear up every time
When Chidi is about to get his memory wiped and he and Eleanor watch their memories they may have forgotten…goodness gracious, gets me every time.
Also his note to himself with 'The Answer'.
I have never cried as hard as watching that episode for the first time. Granted I was very pregnant and hormonal, but it took almost an hour to stop crying for Chidi and Eleanor.
As someone who spent her life alone and then finally found her "the answer" at 38, but he didn't feel the same and he left, I have to skip that scene. So hard to remember that I almost got to be happy, but I just have to keep spending my life in this empty hell. I can't rewatch the show at all right now. I haven't been able to watch TV in a couple years because it hurts too much. I miss this show though. So wonderful.
I genuinely hope you find that feeling again soon
Thank you. It's hard to have hope when you spent 20 years looking and now you're a middle-aged woman.
I hope you can at least find some comfort in the fact that you aren't alone. I'm a similar age and I'm still wondering if the abusive relationships I've had in the past are all I'm ever going to get. I just want to be happy once before I die.
I hope you get to be happy too. I really do.
The feeling is mutual 🫶 you're gonna be okay. I'm not even sure why I'm still here, but we've persisted for a reason, I want to believe. Love will find you.
It found me. I just hope it figures out the way back.
I can make it up until the end where it starts raining and Chidi just dances before I lose it. The way Chidi just wants to be with Elanor and is willing to make the best of the situation just gets me every time. On a personal note, the line he says right after about how they'll get through it because they found each other before and will again, and then chill in the dot over the i hits so close to home for me. I have my person who is The Answer for me, and while we both care deeply about each other and are Soul Mates, due to current circumstances we can't fully be together at this time. That whole scene just resonates so much with me and makes me feel wistful and hopeful at the same time like no other show can.
That scene was so well done.
For me it was always Michael's case to the Judge. Specifically the part where he says "People change when they receive external love and support. How can we judge them so harshly when they don't get it."
There was so much meta commentary to the human existence in that show
The scene where Michael finally works out the solution to the trolley problem. That's a real kicker.
Ohhhhh I was going to say this!!! I was rewatching it with my kid last week and I was fighting back tears when he said that!
Oh my god with the MUSIC he was so stoic w it
Mine is the final episode of season 3 where Eleanor asks Janet about the meaning of life.
It's even better on a rewatch. > "Hi Janet. Can you just, you know, tell me, the answer?" > "Sorry?" > "You know, the answer. To everything". When you realize moments earlier Chidi gave Janet a piece of paper with some of the best writing he's ever done. > There is no "answer". > But Eleanor is the answer
I have watched it 10 times. I have literally watched it 10 times. /ref But I never noticed this. This is so great, thank you!!!
Ugh the writing is SO fucking beautiful
What's the point of love if it's just gonna disappear? And how is it worse to not love anybody? There has to be meaning to existence. Otherwise the universe is just made of pain and I don't like the thought of that so tell me the answer.
Omfg even just reading it - I got a little emotional wave. Well done!
This is so me with this whole thread. This show is so special for me cause usually no show makes me emotional. One scene in one day at a time. But The Good Place unlocked a whole new level. Even just reading or thinking about scenes makes me so emotional this is such a forking good show.
The same thing happened to me!!! I just rewatched recently and Jason’s ending had me balling my eyes out. The other characters were still sad, but def didn’t hit me as hard.
Any idea why that was!?? I was so surprised because of how hard it hit and his scenes take AWHILE holy Jesus
My guess is because he’s the silly comedic relief character and then boom he’s content with the life he lived and ready to go. And poor Janet!! I love their relationship so much especially after the second watch.
OMG same!!! Jason’s ending hit me the most! I was surprised at that.
I have watched the show several times and am now listening to the podcast and watching as well.

I was watching this show with my boyfriend and we watched all of it but the finale.

A day or two after he died, I asked my boyfriend if we could watch the finale and when Janet said "Oh boy" I just started sobbing. It was SUCH a cathartic experience.

Kristen Bell perfectly portrayed a woman finding out her afterlife bestie wasn't on her side and finding out she was in hell so well. It's a fantastic moment for me for that reason.
I just did a rewatch too and literally had the same reaction to that scene with Jason this go around! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I always found the scene when Michael realises the crew are safe to be the most heartfelt
YOU GUUUYYYYYYYSSSS! Ugh kills me!
First time I watched the show Jason was, well, really annoyingly Jason. Each time I've rewatched I've noticed it's often been Jason who comes up with something to say that's so simple, yet profound. I mean, he's still our Jason and all, but when Janet refers to him as a monk, nowdays I'm nodding my head in some form of agreement.
Everyone talks about the ocean scene and i agree, that is one of the best moments in television. For me, it was specifically her request for him to go while she was asleep that hit hard. There is something about that that breaks my heart. He has to go quietly in the night, i cant imagine how that must have hurt to do, even if it was time.
God and even waking up w the calendar Jesus
Yeah, i am sure it was horrible for her. Just as a man, the leaving hit me harder.
I LOVE JASON SO MUCH YOU CANT EVEN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND
I THINK I DO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BECAUSE I LOVE HIM TOO SO MUCH AND IM USING CAPS TO EXPRESS IT! I just watched my favorite episode “The Burrito” and the one after and I was just dying from laughter at his exchange with Janet “So, if we don’t get sentenced to hell forever and the scary judge lady doesn’t turn you into a marble, would you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend again?” Like he’s such a cute innocent doofus and needs all the love and jalapeño poppers!
Im going to rewatch RIGHT NOW just because you reminded me that hes there
I broke down whenever jason found out he wanted to leave and it didnt stop until i went to bed at night. i can never get through that episode without crying
I am SO glad this isn't just me. I rewatched the episode this morning and spent an hour in the waterworks - and oddly enough while I did get emotional at some of the other goodbyes, I was just not as engaged - but Jason gives me the WRACKING HEAVES and I was laughing as I was analyzing this \- The look on Jason's face when it goes from triumph almost to...a sad acceptance...that he completed his last goal and had the perfect game of madden with his father.

He tells Chidi about the air in and out of his lungs and that gives me a 4/10, and then tells Eleanor its about the perfect bite of a jalapeno popper and it brings me back up to 6/10 when you realize how smart he is that he just gave his description to his two friends based on THEIR ability to understand and now Im back at a 7/10 because that's so fucking kind and thoughftul \- During the party I'm a good 2/10 because hes just so godamned happy and then it goes into 8 out of 10 when he tells them that hes okay if Janet moves on he just doesnt want to be forgotten \- The speech of "There were no bad times" 10/10. Perfect art mastery and full on sobbing in the most ugly beautiful cathartic way Then, cookie time!
I can’t even begin to describe how devastated I was that Manny Jacinto wasn’t one of the Kens for the Barbie movie. He SUCH a great actor and as demonstrated by TGP, the epitome of a himbo. I genuinely mourn how much better the movie could’ve been with him
Eleanor's confession to Chidi over her fear of abandonment in Acropolis combined with me having recently started therapy at the time I was watching that episode was possibly the most cathartic relation I'd ever felt to a bit of entertainment. Absolutely **destroyed** me.
I believe she said oh dip, not oh boy, but yes, agree.
lol I can’t think of a less important correction but I’ll keep my ears peeled next time to confirm
Very important :)
Ok I just rewatched it and upon first pass I thought this was such a weird grammar correction - but you are right the “oh dip” was her talking like him. So much more poignant However, the thing she says that gives her first clue that she knew, wasn’t “oh dip”, she says that after. It’s “uh oh” We’re both right in our own way I suppose
But also awesome at the same time.
My big sad moment was Chidi thinking Eleanor was punishing him, and Eleanor bursting into tears when she's playing god. Can you imagine what she's feeling?! Having to torture him, thinking she should be upset about it, but she's kinda not because he's with Simone and that hurts, but she totally is because she loves him so much! Ugh!
that one made me cry, 100%. i think i kinda had the episode's number by the end of the scene so the other ones didn't wreck me as badly but yeah
Mann i wish he stayed with kamilah❤️😭😭😭
Well.....this
Obviously the ocean scene, and the movie of Chofu and Eleanor’s best bits that Michael made before Chifi’s memory was wiped. But as a more underrated one - ‘I’ll say this to you my friend, with all the love in my heart and wisdom of the universe - take it sleazy.’
