looks like you called it

I thought Tahani/Jason would be more of a joke relationship, but they had decent chemistry and an interesting romantic subplot.

This show is about to get real intense.

the fact that they are trying to work it out makes me kinda root for them but jason/janet is still tops for me

agreed. i wasnt expecting them to actually want to develop the relationship. and by them doing so, its definitely warmed me too them. but janet. oh janet. she's still the one for Jason.

and yeah, nice call on the glitch in the mainframe.

at eleanor noticing that she and michael are actually very similar.
and the shrimp dispensary gift. (and mystery flavor reaction)
and jason and pikachu

i really love that they keep the shrimp as one of their running jokes. so far, this is definitely my favorite episode of the season! this show always makes me laugh throughout an episode, but especially this one and i think it was an excellent one for william jackson harper

i had a feeling janet's excessive rebooting would be the reason she goes crazy, like d'arcy said, but now i'm wondering if it has anything to do with potential residual "feelings" for jason from her second version that's causing her to go haywire too. it'd make sense if she retains awareness and becomes more human-like each time she's rebooted too

When Janet married Jason and they're on the train to the Medium Place, she said she initiated a "Ride or Die" protocol. I think that wasn't erased and some sliver of her feelings for Jason reside there.

YES! and i read an article a while ago how she and eleanor might be the "key" to getting out of the bad place, because it seems like they're the ones who either always feel like something isn't right, or in janet's case, somehow knew to take jason to eleanor because he wanted to talk to her about "something." i don't know how this fits in now that things have shifted again with team cockroach knowing michael's plan and working together, but it could still mean something
