It turns out that the answer is that The Good Place: The Podcast this week did not at all address the fact that the solution to the obstacle in this week’s episode of The Good Place was fhvpvqr. I’ve a nagging feeling that it’s because the writers have an explanation coming, but the writers having knowledge simply can’t explain or excuse the characters never having the discussion, when once upon a time they assuredly would have. This is going to gnaw at me forever. Maybe as much as the fact that even victims of slavery were being sent to The Bad Place for the last five-hundred years but no one on the show ever made a point of noting that when debating the broken points system.
