+ Chill confident Chidi is fun. I loved his expression after he did his roller skate spin.
+ Chidi/Eleanor were super cute. I love how into confident Chidi she was. I love how Chidi can be so open with his feelings now.
+ The show doesn't really linger on it but all of them being willing to sacrifice themselves to save humanity, and Michael throwing himself in too, is actually really huge!
+ Jason's version of the trolley problem was hilarious.
+ I loved that little exchange between Michael and Eleanor where he's all "huh, turns out it was a cool speech" and she rolls her eyes and pulls him to follow.
+ Timothy Olyphant showing up was fun and I enjoyed the fact that he kept interrupting instead of just being there.
+ I find it so weird that no one is commenting on how this whole experience has also changed demon Michael. It was even the perfect time to mention it when they explained how the neighbourhood had changed the humans and Janet chimed in with how she'd changed and... the show continued to ignore Michael. Frankly, a demon becoming 'good' is far more impressive than anything else. Is the show just never going to address this?
+ "Fighting you is the most fun I've ever had." - Shawn. Awww! I love this. I found it completely believable.
4x11 'Mondays, Am I Right?'
+ Jason/Chidi were so great. I loved Jason checking in on Chidi to make sure he was alright and I really loved him playing Chidi to get him to admit that his worries about his relationship with Eleanor were baseless. Very well played. Also he read Romeo and Juliet and I'm a little impressed.
+ "...Jason."
"Sure throw me in too." LOL
+ I loved Vicki's test for Tahani and I loved Tahani's reaction. It was a really upsetting scenario for her and yet she was impressed and even told Vicki how well she'd done.
+ "First of all, shut up. And second of all, just, shut up." - Michael. LOL I love Janet's offended gasp
+ Uh, Michael's a demon, can he just go to the good place like that? You know what would have been a great turn to the story - it acknowledging how much Michael has changed and grown. Janet could have revealed that that ding was also for him and the Vicki situation was his last test. That would have been cool.
