ngnngnnnnnnn i wanna chew drywall. not Helen trying to grow as a person and encountering negative feedback and giving up! aghgh the Good Place was right all along.
I loved the Odis-Athena mind-meld, I loved seeing what she sees in him. And the visual of a 2-pound jar of loose marbles was so visceral. Homer's interview was so funny I had to pause there for like a while, and I love how insightful Saff is about her friends.
if odis and athena have no fans, know that something terrible happened to me!! out of curiosity, are everyone's majors the same as they were on the original 'cheat sheet'? i realize some details have shifted as the story got revamped, and was just curious about whether that changed anything for the characters — this chapter made me think odis/doc was some kind of engineer so i went back to check and i forgot that he was an agribusiness tech guy. great work as always!!
