[enemyofperfect]

Hey sorchasilver, I hope I'm not stepping on your toes by posting this! But I've really been enjoying this rewatch, and I think at least a few other people have too, so here's another post for discussion.

Writers: Michael Schur (creator), Megan Amram
Director: Trent O'Donnell
Originally aired: 20 October 2016

Synopsis:
Eleanor and Chidi find that the only way to save Michael from going to "The Eternal Shriek" (part of the Bad Place) is to deactivate Janet. Since she is programmed to answer any question, Janet tells them exactly how to do it.

Memorable Quote:
Michael: Oh, my dear Janet. Will you be okay after I leave?
Janet: Yes. This will not affect me in any way.

I did think about how, with computers, some updates can't be integrated until the device reboots. But that's still the "developers create and release a new update" system. You aren't going to get an extra-advanced computer if you reboot between updates.

"This has never happened before and nobody understands it" is probably as good an explanation as we're going to get, I fear :/

She's a delight!
