Hugo Award Nominations

The 2018 Hugo Award Nominations are out, and The Good Place has TWO episodes nominated in the Best Dramatic Presentation - Short Form category. Those episodes are Michael's Gambit (the season one finale) and The Trolley Problem (2x06).

If you had to choose between those two episodes, which would you vote for? (I'm wishing I'd bought this comm some paid time just so I could post this as an actual poll right now.)

Yay, our show is getting some love!

I vote in the Hugos (and you can, too! Although it requires paying for a Worldcon membership; more details here), and I plan to rank "Michael's Gambit" first, "The Trolley Problem" second (I nominated "Michael's Gambit" and "Dance Dance Resolution"). Although "The Trolley Problem" is a fantastic episode, like others I have to give the edge to "Michael's Gambit" because of how it revolutionized the nature of the show.

I, too, am super thrilled to see the show recognized in this way. It's going to have a hard time beating Star Trek and Black Mirror, but I think it has a shot.
