Derek's windchimes are one of my favorite bits in the whole series. It's elicited some of the best reactions from reactors in the series. One guy "show me your wind chime dick...okay that sounded really weird." I think this is the best stetch of the show. Only episode that, not that I hated it but I usually skip over on rewatches is the episode where they're debating whether or not to team up with michael. I think the morality of the whole Janet-jason dilemma is a whole lot more straightforward given that both are still in the same friends group. You bring it to the group as a problem that has to be resolved, not suggesting a solution like what happened in the end. The best real life analogy I came up is imagine a scenario where a couple are dating in high school and suddenly one of their parents gets a job and they have to move away. No time for closure or anything. They end up at the same college together and end up in the same friends group. One of them is with someone else. The other person is genuinely friends with both people but is still struggling with lingering feelings and it's serious. Maybe he/she is battling with drugs/alcohol or sleeping around in a toxic manner. Maybe he/she is just in a mental health crisis. If you're in that friend group do you let the couple know?

My wife and stepson and I have (over the past few years) started binging comedies together - we have done The Office, Parks & Rec, Modern Family, Community and had started Brooklyn 99. We had discussed The Good Place as a possibility, but hadn't gotten to it yet. Because you two started it here, I watched the first couple episodes with you, then convinced them we should stop Brooklyn99 and do this instead - we finished the series last week. So thank you to those of you that convinced J&K to start it, and thank you to J&K for starting it so we could spend our personal family time with this series as well. Needless to say - the entire journey is worth it!

One of my favorite fun facts they gave about Derek’s dialogue is that for some of his lines they would run them through google translate into a few different languages in a row and then finally translate it back to English. That’s how they got some of his lines so off - “I hope we same place again very now.” 😆

It took me a long time to nail down Jason's surname too; I kept sticking an extra syllable in it, or something.

That's a great analogy and I love that the show asks questions that genuinely make you think. It's not cheap in any regard as far as story is concerned. The wind chime bit was hilarious. It's so subtle at first that you almost miss if you aren't listening
