The Good Place - 2x10 Best Self - Group Reaction

[@lombax316]

Random detail: Earlier in season 2 when they visit Mindy's, "catch the flying magic panda" was on the list of suggestions on how to escape. At the time, Eleanor dismissed it as one of Jason's nonsensical ideas but, as the neighborhood is deconstructing in this episode, you can actually glimpse a flying magic panda in the background.

[@gummysnacksandknives9229]

Apparently it's in several episodes before that episode too I unfortunately haven't seen it though

[@DanielNetSet]

watched the deconstructing scene frame by frame, still couldn't spot that panda. only trees in high speed

[@groov3hero]

I feel like the lesson in this episode is that our minds are usually the biggest obstacle to being our 'best selves'. Of course, it's easy to be distracted by these kind of arbitrary benchmarks and forget the real challenge is striving to be a little bit better every single day after day after day.

[@spiraljumper74]

The way this show keeps consistently upping the ante and changing everything around is one of the biggest reasons it’s such a refreshing show.

[@robwilliamson5082]

Ted Danson is perfect as Michael. The Emmy nominations were well deserved

[@mehlev]

Rana isn't Tahani, she's DEFINITELY Jason lol. It all clicked with the Skrillex joke

[@TheKannibalistic]

Somehow Rana is like the perfect mix of Tahani and Jason lol

[@shiny5068]

she’s their child

[@elbruces]

"I actually think I'm 98% the best version of myself right now" is such a 98% Tahani thing to say.

[@lisainthestudio]

The actress that plays Tahani (Jameela Jamil) didn't know how to dance. Ted Danson is literally teaching her how to ballroom dance in that scene. She also had never acted before, she was a TV and radio music presenter and had no acting training. The character was initially going to be a white heiress called Tessa, until Mike Schur "discovered" Jameela and renamed and rewrote the part for her. Jameela says she also learned how to act from Ted Danson.

[@mohsin90ish]

On the podcast the casting director said the role was always for a tall Pakistani/Indian woman

[@amilcaraguirre6600]

The scene where they all decided to go to the judge is so inspiring for me... for some reason

[@MoneyGist]

I legit felt a deep sense of loss the first time I saw the fake Good Place unravel into blank space. Can't fully explain why.

[@thecontinent9192]

This is one of my favorite episodes. I loved Jason's lines, Tahani's growth, the moments between Chidi & Eleanor, and the new plan!

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Counter point. This might me my LEAST favorite. It has some great lines but Micheal lying to them is upsetting. But it is a nessicary bridge episode

[@darkhorse381]

@@NoThankUBeQuiet I didn't find it upsetting. He had good intentions and really no other choice. He didn't lie out of malice or betrayal, but desperation and optimism (that he will eventually find a way)

[@dodiswatchbobobo]

The balloon scale’s not real. Unlike Trevor, who was real. But yes like Shawn, who was a fake Judge.

[@paulinethegreat1]

Eleanor: "[human] starter kit". Me: starts to cry out of nowhere.

[@bloatus7611]

Now I can't wait for Nikki to see Jeremy Bearimy. Her ship of Chidi and Eleanor plus her reaction to Chris Baker makes me think she'll explode.

[@eolsunder]

just keep remembering from earlier episodes what was said.. "this whole show is Michael's Gambit."

[@beanofglory7602]

That was really, weirdly, awesomely true.

[@michaelvickery7390]

Yall need to watch Ted Lasso with a few of the others after this 100% Probably have Chris and Marketa watch as well. Good place and Lasso are two beautiful shows that are desperately needed in the times that we live in

[@raviamodernepic]

"But the scale was real" 😂

[@davidhunt7454]

Why does he assume that?! He’s wild.

[@yyaaii]

😂🤣

[@darkhorse381]

@@davidhunt7454 It seemed pretty accurate

[@bernardsoul5186]

19:00 "My apollergieis," poor Rana.

[@ZheToralf]

Well, there goes the neighbourhood

[@bejo2551]

That is some really nice foreshadowing in this episode. I never noticed it before

[@TheJadedJames]

Yeah, certain bits of dialogue at the party hit very different knowing the ultimate fate of certain characters. And I actually forgot about the balloon scene from a way later episode being a call back to this episode

[@mangerinegirl]

You guys made my day by mentioning Dark haha. “Shoutout to Hannah!” 😂 The true villain of the show. This was a fun episode for sure. I think Rana’s right, as you age, you do get closer to self-actualization. It’s awesome that this is a comedy but at the same time it makes you have deep thoughts and conversations. Great reaction as always!

[@johnpalacios9392]

15:10 Rana always with the great advice.

[@beanofglory7602]

I know I say this every time but I love you Normies so much. (Just got to the last watch-moment and the "DON'T F*CK UP!" and the, uh, fallout from that.) XD

[@zvimur]

Recommendation for Book discussion: Richard Matheson's "What dreams may come". Yes, the one adapted into movie with Robin Williams. But, since written by Matheson, a whole lot scarier.

[@michaelcurtis925]

Next episode is a classic.

[@victorsixtythree]

One of my favorite episodes - I love their party! And the rest of the season is amazing too. Can't wait!

[@belpop]

You should watch Schitts Creek after this. One of the best shows of all time 💛💛💛

[@Gunnhfran2]

Within 5 seconds in the upcoming clip I new straight away what she was reacting to and could not wait for the disappoint

[@adiksaff]

10:48 - Peak comedy and wit on display XDD Why are these all on pointe?? 12:12 ; 14:17 - HAHAHAHA the lines were funny but y'all are so precious!!!

[@mrshadow4007]

My *favourite* episode is next. Can't wait.

[@jayvanponce4139]

I can't wait for the following episodes.

[@dupersuper1938]

If by "first one" they mean the animated Transformers movie, then they are correct.

[@m0narch1000]

Then theres Bumblebee thats considered so much better that people forget about it

[@LINKedup101]

Y'all for sure should watch Ted Lasso when you're done with this show

[@TheHofman]

Love that you started this show, enjoying reactions, cant wait for next and in general for you three to pick next show that you will be watching, I still have hope for Battlestar Galactica, cmon its OG show from time like Lost, with its own mysteries and sci-fi and good story, good stuff, Suraj make it happen plz

[@GundiMike]

the ladybug wasn't real, but its pain was very real

[@ivap852]

I CAN NOT wait for you to meet the judge

[@flyflorida2001]

The Webster dictionary defines self actualization as…. lol you broke your own rule!

[@fayc_fayc2115]

Come back to ask for the Normies to react to Superstore, Brooklyn 99 and Modern Family pleaseeee

[@Blevins15]

Attempt #33 Really want Chris, Suraj, Nikki,Mickey, Rana, & Navi to watch 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' !Please!

[@highwind1991]

This show is so good. Can't wait for you guys to get to the finale of this season :)

[@ma-ri-ko]

i think chidi loves qualities *about* eleanor, like that she's willing to be patient with him. she respects that he's messed up in a different direction than she is and there really are no foregone conclusions just because they hooked up literally in a previous life. she just wants to be around him which is a difficult thing for him to accept. i do think that people in general are really quick to jump to romantic love when exploring a connection with a new person. "relationship" even has a romantic connotation although the word itself means any human intimacy. if you don't build trust and a common language for consent, it's really hard to navigate crazy situations. chidi hasn't had a moment where being eleanor's lover makes sense to him. he knows that he values her friendship in the midst of a perilous existence but there hasn't been a whole lot of joy in their relationship up to this point. he's not even allowed to remember the majority of what *was* joyful. it's a tough spot.

[@TheJadedJames]

Personally, I feel like if I saw that I was in a relationship in an alternate timeline with someone I currently only see as a friend it would either freak me out a bitter or just not change anything because ... that event technically didn’t happen to me. I’m sure if a time traveler went back and caused me to take a different class schedule in college it might have dramatically changed my entire love life, but I don’t live in that world

[@MarieAnne.]

Something I just noticed for the first time in this reaction is when Chidi tells Eleanor that he wishes they had met in a "normal" way and the last one he mentions is "you came knocking on my office door". Wow.

[@DamnQuilty]

Yep. Michael is the best in my opinion too.

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

I just want to recommend The Glitch after this, for you three, the Lost Normies. It's on Netflix.

[@Holly-cc5kx]

You should listen to Pobody’s Nerfect by Whitney Avalon. Song about Janet.

Review "SARDAR UDHAM" It is the most underrated masterpiece of this year... Its a must watch...

[@mememanathome2802]

spoilers When they actually see them kiss in the rain, they will surely be crying

[@TheJadedJames]

SPOILERS : Without getting deep into things, rewatching this there is certainly some Tahani foreshadowing at the party

[@dalton6173]

If you die and are sent to the bad place however you get a choice that will be forgotten before fully entering the bad place, do you choose the bad place pretending to be to good place or do you choose the bad place that is honest about the torture?

[@Kok1ok2]

Hi Normies Arcane Act 2 or Episode 4,5,6 is already out i hope yall already reacting to it and post later 😘

So, a question. Do Michael Schur's other series have story arcs, or separate plots per episode?

[@LeChaunce]

Can't say for Brooklyn 99 but Parks And Rec definitely did.

[@zvimur]

@@LeChaunce Eh, I'll look it up.

[@aqsw57]

sometimes there are small arcs in brooklyn 99, but often the episodes are self-contained. It's better to watch it in order from the beginning though, since there are many recurrent jokes or situations that refer to past episodes
