Practically speaking, Tahani was already well-known in the afterlife after spending about 300 years in the rebooted Neighborhood 12358W, learning 11,000 skills, spending approximately 1000 Jeremy Bearimies, and befriending lots of demons & architects so I think it really happened off-screen since Kamilah died much later. Plus, I think many of Kamilah’s fans had to be tested for quite a long time in order to get rid of their own perpetual shallowness on Earth. Additionally, Tahani was also known as one of the original four humans who saved humanity with the new system and thus, her after-life legacy was quite hard to beat (even for Kamilah). However, the competitiveness between the Al-Jamil sisters was long gone by that point so it doesn’t matter anymore. P/S: Based on the dining scene with Eleanor’s and Chidi’s friends as well as the scene wherein she becomes an architect, apparently everyone in the afterlife calls Tahani by her name or knows her as “Tahani the Architect” and no longer “Kamilah’s sister”. What a subtle but poetic justice for our endearing character.
I enjoy thinking about her parents shock when they passed, more than Kamilah - they were the cause of the problem between the two sisters. That must have been a big part of their waking up to their faults
Completely agree! I recall someone saying that only Jameela could have pulled off that subtle, poised, and graceful way in which Tahani handles herself at all times (even when namedropping or getting angry), which is shown from her speech to her body language. She was perfect for the character, in my opinion.
@@saltycucumber2773 still, it is rare. Normally you get Tom Hanks in Mazes and Monsters or Jonny Drop in 21 Jump Street; with absolutely mediocre performances.
I love that aspect of her as well! I remember someone saying that they thought she would get a partner in the last episode, but Tahani never needed one to complete her journey. Self-love and acceptance was all she truly needed :)
@@Stevonniewolf3113 well that was mostly just Eleanor thinking Tahani is super attractive and Tahani loving the attention, it was platonic on Tahani's side at least
Her ending was so perfect. I am a little biased because I relate to finding meaning and joy in learning things and disciplines, but I'm so happy that out of the core characters, they gave that to Tahani
It was substance over style, and so perfect for her. She didn't want to seem accomplished, or be outwardly praised, this time she was motivated purely by a desire to learn and better herself, for her own satisfaction. It's so heartening to see that kind of happy ending!
The Finale did not "Fix" Tahani! One of The Good Place's primary theme's was self- improvement and the finale was the actualization of the Tahani that had been developing since season 1. The Tahani we see in her final moments on "The Good Place" is the best Tahani yes, but it was the result of four seasons worth of development and growth, not a few thousand Bearimys of off screen advancements. All those skills she acquired she set out to acquire because of who she was by the end of the journey, not her years at the destination. Fixing imply's that something broke about the character, but Tahani was never broken. A character that was broken by their show was Xander Harris, in season 4 of Buffy, because the writters had no idea where to take the character and literally had him drifting around most of the season. They turned that into a story about a guy trying to figure out their role in the world after high-school, but for a long while they couldn't figure anything out and literally considered killing him off. Never in Tahani's character arc was there ever a moment that said ":We are not sure what to do with the character".
I agree with this comment, but this is the point of the video itself. If I may: "Fix" was more of an easy, catch-all buzzword that wouldn't require further explanation past the word itself, which is recommended for a RUclips title. However, the video does say three things: 1. Tahani did not require to be 'fixed' or to have a traditional redemption arc, but she did require an arc for her development to be finalised, as per the theme of the show. 2. Many of her improvements and developments did occur throughout the show, but the final season, and the finale itself, was the last stepping stone to the best Tahani possible. 3. While Tahani may not have been 'broken' as a literary device, as a human being she still had flaws that were present and that affected my perspective of her (as the audience) which were acknowledged and addressed in the finale in such a way that I found them endearing, rather than irritating. No, she was not 'broken' as a literary/storytelling device, or as a character, I agree. But there was still development to be done, actualised, and showcased verbatim to the audience, which the finale did. Xander is a different matter altogether, and I recall exactly what you are referring to. It's been a while since I watched Buffy but I think that was the case, yes. However, I haven't seen it in forever so I can't expand upon that further due to the lack of recent knowledge. I hope this clarifies the video, its message, and its intent, though I hoped it would be self-explanatory! Thank you for the comment! :)
@@ithinkicanwrite If you want to familiarise yourself with the Buffyverse again without necessarily having to rewatch everything, I think you would really enjoy 'Passion of the Nerd' RUclips channel. Ian's videos spend the first part summarising the events of the episode, then he dives deeper into themes, writing, characterisation etc.
Maybe it's because I just watched it, but I don't remember ever watching a better ending to a TV show. It really felt like the end of a well structured very long movie. It was perfection. 10/10
I agree it was really well done! It's because it was: 1. Unique. There was no other TV show like The Good Place, with the same premise, same tone, same characters, same development. 2. Certain. It knew how long it would run for. It knew its story ahead of time, and it knew the beats that it would have to go through to get there. That's what I think, at least! :)
The only show that I can think of with a better finale would be Avatar: The Last Airbender, but even that story didn’t feel as complete as this one (but that show has comics after so it makes sense)
@@growingupwithdisney yea, whenever i think about atla i remember it with such warmth and its the same warmth i feel when remembering the good place :)
I always say The Good Place is more like a long movie than a tv show. You can't come in on a later season and pick up everything that's going on you need to start from the beginng to get the full scope and arc. I even loved that everything we saw them do came back in a meaningful way. Like when they went to earth for a while. At first I thought those episodes were kind of boring but they ended up being important later and I loved that.
An infinite number of bearimies to spend in the good place? I would try to learn every single person's personal experience and try to become effectively a Janet but about people.
That sounds really interesting! Would you like to experience what they experienced as well (as you might be able to in The Good Place) or just learn about it?
I found her very likable from the beginning. Her insecurity is very endearing and she does care about people. Her growing attachment to Eleanor in the first season was really cute. I'm sure in real life it would be so easy to hate her because she's beautiful and rich, and the name dropping is so annoying but as a character she's fantastic.
I love that scene when Michael asked if he can name drop her. Deep down, old Tahani never really believed in herself- after all, she was always never good enough, always in the shadow of her sister. Her sense of self worth was from associating with accomplished people and celebrities. In the end she became accomplished through her own efforts and was now someone that other people name drop.
Every character got their redemption in the end in the way they were supposed to get in the Good place: Chidi got to save humankind by teaching ethics, Jason got to appreciate the world for what it was just like a monk, and Eleanor truly learned to love herself after helping the characters she resembled the most: Michael and Mindy... Thanx!!!
I completely agree! In fact, this comment inspired my latest video, looking at how Jason not only became a monk during the finale, but was actually a monk all along! Thank you so much!
Not only redemption, but personal growth. Elanor couldn’t let go until she had helped every single soul in the Universe, including Michael and Mindy; Jason spent thousands of years alone, waiting for Janet to return, showing impressive self control; and Chidi made the most final and unchangeable decision of all times (to cross the door) without hesitating.
Oh that's good! Would you be watching it as it is happening or would you like to interact and be a character in those stories? Regardless, really cool choice!
I'd do the same. I'd live in the world of every book, tv show and movie I'd ever liked. I'd live a life as a super hero with powers like the X-Men. I'd play every single video game but like I was inside the game. I'd redo my own life in every single scenario I'd ever wanted to try. I'd live in a world when i had 10 million subscribers and everyone watched my channel lol. It would be millions of years before I got bored. And if I ever did get bored I'd request my memory wiped and do it all again.
@@Lyca31 That's a great point! The possibilities are endless, and you could ask to experience everything fresh again. I think it'd be rare, or very much later on, when you'd want to move on.
The reason why Tahani learned new skills can be seen in that episode where she brought the new humans to the lake house. She told Eleanor she wants to do somerhing meaningful, and she feels her only real skill is arranging fabulous parties (which is a valuable skill on its own). In the better good place, she learned to do stuff not for the glory for it, but simply for the happiness of achieving something.
I think it's also because their achievements in the story to that point gave her the confidence that she could try/do these things, which she may have avoided previously for fear it would just be more stuff Kamilah was better at. Strikes me she had that perfectionists problem of not wanting to be bad at things so therefore being more reluctant to try them, rather than being able to just give something a try and not worry about perceived failures along the journey. But I could just be projecting a bit there! 😳
In most shows the "Tahani" character usually annoys the living hell out of me...but in this show it was perfect...maybe due to the fact that that they made light of it
The 'Tahani Arc' sounds good to me. There's certainly an element of growth, 'redemption', and literal evolution, but it's unlike any other arc because of the circumstances in which it takes place!
Well... he and I both throw molotov cocktails at our problems... and we both have black hair... You might be onto something here, Sayali! In all seriousness though, thank you for the kind words! That's nice of you to say! :)
Hmm, if I had an infinite amount of bearimies I'd read a lot and I'd try to write a novel. It's something I've always wanted to do but I work and it's hard to find the time. I'd want it to be a good novel; something meaningful. And I think I'd need a long time to create something like that.
That's definitely a good way to spend your time! As a minor piece of advice, I'm sure you can write something meaningful without those bearimies! Every second and thought put into it counts. I believe in you!
Those were exactly my feelings! Throughout the show, I found her irritating and aggravating, but at the end she grew so much and seemed so wholesome and complete that she finally became the inspiration she always wanted to be. Ironically wholesome, I suppose :)
This was a very well put together video! I'd love to see similar videos for some of the other characters. Michael would be excellent! I mean look at the drastic change he went through as well!
Thank you so much for the kind words! That has been asked for, so I am considering making another video for one/two of the other characters (time allowing, of course). Yeah, Michael went through a drastic change as well, completely agreed! From a demon to... arguably, an 'angel', then a human, that's quite a few huge leaps for mankind, haha. I'd say Michael and Jason would be very fun to explore, perhaps! :)
Thanks for the idea, Monica! This is incredibly incredibly late, but I DID end up making a video on Jason Mendoza and how he's always been a monk (not just became one with the Finale). Give that a go if you're interested, might make more videos on The Good Place depending on how people respond to them! Thanks again for the idea!
Watching Tahani’s journey made me realize how I’d love to spend my life: learning for the sake of it, experiencing new things, connecting with my family and chosen family, and working to make something good and even beautiful to help other people. I also need all my love and self acceptance, and don’t need a partner to give it to me. And like in Tahani’s journey, I realized I don’t really want a partner nor do I need one to be happy.
If I had an infinite amount of Bemeries I would play D&D with my friends but like, for reals. The DM crafts the world and the players go into it as their characters. They don't feel the pain for real but they experience everything else for real.
This was an amazing video on my favourite show! I'm a new subscriber and I am eagerly waiting for new content! P.S:- I always loved Tahani as a character, but this video made me truly understand how her character arc makes her even more amazing!
@IThinkICanWrite @SnehaPradhan I loved the detail in which we are directed to the two moments of name-dropping fatigue. So well observed and delicious.
Thank you so much for the kind words! New content is arriving shortly (working on it as I reply to this, haha)! It's going to cover a wide range of shows and topics! Thank you for subscribing! I really loved Tahani's character arc. She grew just as much as the rest of the characters when the finale hit (if not more), and I just couldn't help but talk about it!
@@auldthymer Thank you so much for the kind words! As someone who had previously rolled their eyes at the name-dropping, it was something I always noticed and made a note of! Glad it was handled so beautifully by the writers and cast in the finale!
@@ithinkicanwrite That's great! Best of luck for this journey that you've started on RUclips! Don't get discouraged by the numbers, just keep putting out consistent content which you personally love and the people will come in!
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree, the ending was perfect! I think this was just my way of saying goodbye to this show that I loved so much!
One of my all time favorite shows with clever twists, deep themes and fascinating characters. Like all of them in different ways, Tahani was hilarious. In her case, because her manner was so off putting. Really all of the principals except Janet are at least somewhat unlikable to start. But that they are played by very attractive people was a good ploy which helped the audience to root for their eventual redemptions. And for me, that was particularly true with Tahani because Jameela is one of the most beautiful women who ever lived...
Thank you for putting the theme from The Good Place in your videos breaks. The Good Place really is spectacular. Not many hilarious TV shows can send you to the bookstore looking for books on morality. Take it sleazy, everyone.
what an amazing, thorough, well written video!!! you put into words how i felt about the way the finale treated Tahani. the ending she deserved💘 if i had infinite bearimys, i’d learn every song to every musical out there, as well as playing many instruments, philosophy
When I read the title, I thought this was going to be a video discussing how Tahani had nothing to do in the final season, and the writers clearly hated writing for her at that point. She was completely reduced to the occasional comment that was completely interchangeable with any other character, just because she hadn't said anything in a while, or some flanderised go to stock joke about clothes or name drops. I thought it was kind of cool after that that she ended up being the only one who's sense of purpose didn't dry up, since narratively she was the one that struggled with that the most. But it's still a bummer watching season 4, and just feeling how much the writers don't want to have to deal with her. Jason gets it too. That Nintendo Switch Ad that he does is pretty painful. But he still gets a bit more to do, especially with his thing with Janet. Tahani gets John Wheaton, plus a tiny bit of forced conflict with Elanor, and that's about it. She basically doesn't interact with anyone else throughout the whole rest of the show. Which sucks, because she's great. They should have brought in Barry Hemsworth or something. She could have been rebooted like Chidi, and actually had something to do.
If I had an infinite number of bearimies, I would visit all of the places that I never had a chance to see while alive. I would also engage in the risky adventures, such as sky diving, that I was too afraid to do on earth because I'd already be dead.
Just had this video recommended to me! Cool video, I too enjoyed Tahani's journey and thought that her being an architect was a good fit/ending for her. I really enjoyed the show from beginning to the finale and am glad that the show didn't have any filler seasons and knew where to go and how to end everything.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah, the show was really good because it knew where it was headed from the beginning. It knew the story it wanted to tell and told it, which is why it worked so well! Beautiful ending for a beautiful show!
What would I do with infinite Bearimys? Spend time with the people I care about. Visit the places I always wanted to go to. Just live a life that doesn’t involve work or life admin, where I can be free to focus on self improvement and having fun.
I really enjoyed the video. If I had an infinite amount of Bearmies, I think I would honestly do what Tahani did, for the most part. Learn every skill, to a masterful level. Read every book. Watch every TV Show, movie and video. Just... do everything. I have infinite time
Thank you! That's exactly it. Not only you would have an infinite amount of time, but an infinite amount of content would be produced on Earth as well. Which would mean that you could keep reading and consuming new content whenever you wanted to! Great idea!
I wish the afterlife was just like this… I would visit a lot of history moments, reunite with my dog, learn every language, read so many books, eat delicious food, master figure skating and just spend my days surrounded by flowers and puppies in my perfect fantasy cottage. I would also get inside my favorite shows, movies and books to experience them as a character.
Tahani always felt like being a metaphor for society’s current flow: style over substance and her “redemption” shows how humanity would be more zen by aiding people without ulterior motives…
I am glad that you enjoyed the video! While I haven't made a video on them yet (not sure if I will), I have made a video on Jason, and on the Judge, both looking at The Good Place from different perspectives. You might enjoy them as well if you enjoyed this video!
Thank you for your comment! I hope that you enjoyed the video and the content! A peak behind the scenes: Actually, this video falls under fair use for many reasons. Even still, I have not contested the fair use claim that NBC has placed upon it, because I have not done this for any financial proceeds, but because I wanted to talk about a topic and share that with the world!
edit: just uploaded a video about this, so thank you for making me think about it! :) (rant incoming, haha) I think Jason was always meant to become/be a contemporary & modern monk (or version of Jian Yu). There are often a lot of times when he is lost and he doesn't know what is happening, but that is because he is truly at peace with himself. When he is not at peace with matters, he is truly, sincerely, upset, rather than angry or furious. His character arc was mostly about quiet, peace, and self-acceptance, in my opinion. He is wise, as he often says things that seem odd, but they give others good ideas. He is inpatient at first, but then he pushes past that and truly becomes a monk when he waits in the forest. And, he accepts himself and his role as a person as his relationship with his father is fixed in the finale. Also, as to those molotov cocktail incidents- they're not out of malice. They're out of a naive and innocent child's attempts at escaping negativity and repercussions, and who can blame him? Jason is all about expression of self, in the most direct and sincere ways possible- which is why dancing is a big part of his story.
"Is big Ben somehow your godfather?" "Mmhmm" That line 😂😂😂 didn't hear that the first time 💀 If I had an infinite amount of Beremies I'd visit the world, party in the Bahamas, shop in harajuku, eat pastries and shop in paris, research Greek, Egyptian, and other mythology, visit temples, spiritual training in the new age arts, draw everywhere, learn different dances, write stories and comics, plant a garden, learn to sing a lot of songs, binge animated movies randomly, have a fashion show, go on many many safaris, etc.
Honestly, that line got me so bad! Hahaha! It really showed just how focused the show was on fixing Tahani's faults by the end of the last season! I completely get what you're saying! Experience anything and everything as much as possible!
With an infinite amount off Beriamy’s I would Try and sleep for 10.000.00 hours? 😂 I would give myself superpowers I would do everything I ever wanted to do And if I feel like I’m ready I’ll go to another place where my life will turn back into something like earth With struggles and all so that I can feel accomplished when I learn a new skill or something
@@ithinkicanwrite yeah, all of them had amazing journeys! Michael is also a character that grew amazingly in the series!!!!! Grew to become only human, with all of our flaws and troubles, but happy, understanding already the whole journey after life on Earth. It was btfl.
@@aninhapmr Michael's journey was incredible. He went from a demon, to an 'angel', then a human, all through determination, perseverance, and a bit of luck. Truly out of this world.
I feel like I would want to become an architect, but not to reform people, to provide people in the good place with new experiences. Like designing essentially entire new worlds for people to live in and explore. Maybe even have their memory rebooted for the duration if they want to 'live' in that world for a while like a normal person. After all I'm a game designer and I feel like that's the ultimate expression of my craft. Plus I feel like whoever designed the universe really cheaped out on the fun stuff so making a few worlds with some magic systems and dragons and shit should help people enjoy a few hundred beramys~
if I had the bearimies in the good place I would go on and DM my dream version of D&D as a god to a world filled with janet babies and a few people with their set superpowers that should last a couple million bearimies in my books
I think perhaps the singular flaw with the finale (as far as the philosophy it proposes goes - and I wouldn't call it a flaw, really, so much as it was an unexplored avenue) is that there isn't really an 'end' to learning - and that's probably what I'd spend those bearimies doing. Time being what it is, the human race as it develops will continue creating new technologies and doing new things, giving us an arguably almost infinite amount of things to learn or experience. New stories, new worlds, new ideas... If there's ever a day where those run out, then sure, I'll be satisfied. But I think I'd want to learn every skill I can, and explore every story I can.
I completely agree with the ideology behind: 'you can never stop learning because things are always being created and can always be experienced, even if you only take the human race in mind'. However, I feel like maybe an inhered lesson is learning everything you wanted to know? You learn everything you want to know, develop every skill, then choose another path in (after)life. I feel like that was Tahani's journey here.
@@ithinkicanwrite Oh, absolutely. The show tried to show us a little bit of what everyone might need to feel really fulfilled - whether it was Eleanor helping the last people in her life get what they truly needed, Tahani learning every skill she wanted, Chidi getting to live out a life with Eleanor and their families getting to know one another, or Jason just... playing the perfect game of Madden. Of course it's a little more complex than that, and there's a little bit more to everyone - reconciling with their parents and so on - but overall they tried to show us the breadth of goals people might have, and more importantly that at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how big or small what you need is. I thought it was a nice touch and I think most people will find someone to identify with. Personally, Tahani's goal of learning is something I want to spend my life (and any possible afterlife) pursuing - and I'm glad she didn't just go through the door, and now gets to put those skills to use somewhere.
The biggest flaw in her character, or her story, is the lack of motivation. Season three and four gave her motivation to improve as a person but she had none in season 1 and only late in season 2. Since each season the human characters start fresh, except for season 4, I consider same human in different seasons a separate character. The last version was complete but the previous versions were not well written.
@@ithinkicanwrite oh yes I binged on those already. I really like the your content... i would like to hear about other characters too, please. I am sure they would be a through analysis as Tahani, Jason and Judge were. 👏👏👏
I swear when she said she met all those people I thought she was lying hahaha. and if I had infinite bearamies in the good place I'd ask to be reset once I got bored so I could learn things I learnt before and experience things I experienced before without knowing
I just uploaded a video on Jason, and how he's always been a more modern version of a monk all along! He's actually a lot smarter than the show makes him out to be!
I Think I Can Write AHHH I’ve been noticed. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to watch. I love this show so much and you are 100% right. Jason is smart, just not in the way we tend to view smart people
@@nick3yme This show is incredible! That's exactly it! Jason is insightful, wise, and very good at noticing the little things! While making the new video I found a common trend of him being right, the other characters being surprised and/or impressed, and the cycle repeating, despite Jason proving himself so many times. Hahah
Imagine Kamilah entering the afterlife and being greeted as "Tahani's sister"
Hahahah! This would be so funny!
Practically speaking, Tahani was already well-known in the afterlife after spending about 300 years in the rebooted Neighborhood 12358W, learning 11,000 skills, spending approximately 1000 Jeremy Bearimies, and befriending lots of demons & architects so I think it really happened off-screen since Kamilah died much later. Plus, I think many of Kamilah’s fans had to be tested for quite a long time in order to get rid of their own perpetual shallowness on Earth. Additionally, Tahani was also known as one of the original four humans who saved humanity with the new system and thus, her after-life legacy was quite hard to beat (even for Kamilah). However, the competitiveness between the Al-Jamil sisters was long gone by that point so it doesn’t matter anymore.
P/S: Based on the dining scene with Eleanor’s and Chidi’s friends as well as the scene wherein she becomes an architect, apparently everyone in the afterlife calls Tahani by her name or knows her as “Tahani the Architect” and no longer “Kamilah’s sister”.
What a subtle but poetic justice for our endearing character.
Tahani is one of my favorite characters from this series. I'm going to name one of my future children after her.
I enjoy thinking about her parents shock when they passed, more than Kamilah - they were the cause of the problem between the two sisters. That must have been a big part of their waking up to their faults
Someone needs to watch the show again... ;)
I still can't believe the Good Place was her first acting gig. She did such an amazing job with that character.
Completely agree! I recall someone saying that only Jameela could have pulled off that subtle, poised, and graceful way in which Tahani handles herself at all times (even when namedropping or getting angry), which is shown from her speech to her body language. She was perfect for the character, in my opinion.
Completely agree. I just can't see anyone else as Tahani

Tehani had sexual subtext with Eleanor.
@@Stevonniewolf3113 well that was mostly just Eleanor thinking Tahani is super attractive and Tahani loving the attention, it was platonic on Tahani's side at least

Her ending was so perfect. I am a little biased because I relate to finding meaning and joy in learning things and disciplines, but I'm so happy that out of the core characters, they gave that to Tahani
Agreed! Her ending by learning every thing, every skill and discipline, was perfect! It tied up her arc beautifully.
It was substance over style, and so perfect for her. She didn't want to seem accomplished, or be outwardly praised, this time she was motivated purely by a desire to learn and better herself, for her own satisfaction. It's so heartening to see that kind of happy ending!
Ok but let’s be honest. We always stanned Tahani after season 1
lol emphasis on after season 1. I couldn't stand her at season 1...at all.
Ever since that scene of her crying about not bonding with Jason (that was still jianyu back then) and Eleanor comforting her.
@The KGB Why shouldn't they stan eminem? Lol
Rita Yeah me too
What does it mean when people "stan" something
I would do exactly what Tahani does: Learn every skill imaginable :D
A very good and infinitely challenging way to spend your time! Agreed!
Yeah same

I agree with this comment, but this is the point of the video itself. If I may:
"Fix" was more of an easy, catch-all buzzword that wouldn't require further explanation past the word itself, which is recommended for a RUclips title.

2. Many of her improvements and developments did occur throughout the show, but the final season, and the finale itself, was the last stepping stone to the best Tahani possible.
3. While Tahani may not have been 'broken' as a literary device, as a human being she still had flaws that were present and that affected my perspective of her (as the audience) which were acknowledged and addressed in the finale in such a way that I found them endearing, rather than irritating.

Maybe it's because I just watched it, but I don't remember ever watching a better ending to a TV show.
It really felt like the end of a well structured very long movie. It was perfection. 10/10
I agree it was really well done! It's because it was:
1. Unique. There was no other TV show like The Good Place, with the same premise, same tone, same characters, same development.
2. Certain. It knew how long it would run for. It knew its story ahead of time, and it knew the beats that it would have to go through to get there.
That's what I think, at least! :)
The only show that I can think of with a better finale would be Avatar: The Last Airbender, but even that story didn’t feel as complete as this one (but that show has comics after so it makes sense)
@@growingupwithdisney agreed
@@growingupwithdisney yea, whenever i think about atla i remember it with such warmth and its the same warmth i feel when remembering the good place :)
I always say The Good Place is more like a long movie than a tv show. You can't come in on a later season and pick up everything that's going on you need to start from the beginng to get the full scope and arc. I even loved that everything we saw them do came back in a meaningful way. Like when they went to earth for a while. At first I thought those episodes were kind of boring but they ended up being important later and I loved that.
An infinite number of bearimies to spend in the good place? I would try to learn every single person's personal experience and try to become effectively a Janet but about people.
That sounds really interesting! Would you like to experience what they experienced as well (as you might be able to in The Good Place) or just learn about it?
Comforting voice talking about a comforting show. I'm here for it.
Thank you! That's so lovely of you to say!
I found her very likable from the beginning. Her insecurity is very endearing and she does care about people. Her growing attachment to Eleanor in the first season was really cute. I'm sure in real life it would be so easy to hate her because she's beautiful and rich, and the name dropping is so annoying but as a character she's fantastic.
I love that scene when Michael asked if he can name drop her. Deep down, old Tahani never really believed in herself- after all, she was always never good enough, always in the shadow of her sister. Her sense of self worth was from associating with accomplished people and celebrities. In the end she became accomplished through her own efforts and was now someone that other people name drop.
Is there a time stamp to that scene on this video. Don't remember that particular scene.
The entire show was golden but I definitely teared up on Tahani's parts for all the ways her journey came full circle.
It was very emotional. Her and Eleanor showed just so much growth and perseverance, it was amazing to witness.
Every character got their redemption in the end in the way they were supposed to get in the Good place: Chidi got to save humankind by teaching ethics, Jason got to appreciate the world for what it was just like a monk, and Eleanor truly learned to love herself after helping the characters she resembled the most: Michael and Mindy... Thanx!!!
I completely agree! In fact, this comment inspired my latest video, looking at how Jason not only became a monk during the finale, but was actually a monk all along! Thank you so much!
Not only redemption, but personal growth. Elanor couldn’t let go until she had helped every single soul in the Universe, including Michael and Mindy; Jason spent thousands of years alone, waiting for Janet to return, showing impressive self control; and Chidi made the most final and unchangeable decision of all times (to cross the door) without hesitating.
I would spend an infinite amount of bearimies inside of my favourite books and television, some of which I think I could do over a few hundred times.
Oh that's good! Would you be watching it as it is happening or would you like to interact and be a character in those stories? Regardless, really cool choice!
I'd do the same. I'd live in the world of every book, tv show and movie I'd ever liked. I'd live a life as a super hero with powers like the X-Men. I'd play every single video game but like I was inside the game. I'd redo my own life in every single scenario I'd ever wanted to try. I'd live in a world when i had 10 million subscribers and everyone watched my channel lol. It would be millions of years before I got bored. And if I ever did get bored I'd request my memory wiped and do it all again.
@@Lyca31 That's a great point! The possibilities are endless, and you could ask to experience everything fresh again. I think it'd be rare, or very much later on, when you'd want to move on.
@@Lyca31 If you're gonna have your memory wiped, why do it at all?
Andy Lord To experience it again... they just said
The reason why Tahani learned new skills can be seen in that episode where she brought the new humans to the lake house. She told Eleanor she wants to do somerhing meaningful, and she feels her only real skill is arranging fabulous parties (which is a valuable skill on its own). In the better good place, she learned to do stuff not for the glory for it, but simply for the happiness of achieving something.
Completely agreed! Tahani learned new skills because she wanted to do things herself, not because of any form of potential appraisal!
I think it's also because their achievements in the story to that point gave her the confidence that she could try/do these things, which she may have avoided previously for fear it would just be more stuff Kamilah was better at.
Strikes me she had that perfectionists problem of not wanting to be bad at things so therefore being more reluctant to try them, rather than being able to just give something a try and not worry about perceived failures along the journey. But I could just be projecting a bit there! 😳
@@helenl3193 I can relate. Haha
In most shows the "Tahani" character usually annoys the living hell out of me...but in this show it was perfect...maybe due to the fact that that they made light of it
The weird youtube algorithm recommending me a video from a really small channel. You have some good luck unknown youtuber
The algorithm is weird that way! Still counting my blessings, haha!

@@mani_stud I'm the same when I watch anything to be honest, haha
I don't know if this arc has a name yet either so until it does lets call it the "Tahani Arc"
The 'Tahani Arc' sounds good to me. There's certainly an element of growth, 'redemption', and literal evolution, but it's unlike any other arc because of the circumstances in which it takes place!
Mark Doherty Tahani Arc-gamil
0:18 seconds in and I'm thinking "Wow you sound like Jason Mendosa????"
Well... he and I both throw molotov cocktails at our problems... and we both have black hair...
You might be onto something here, Sayali!
In all seriousness though, thank you for the kind words! That's nice of you to say! :)
Hmm, if I had an infinite amount of bearimies I'd read a lot and I'd try to write a novel. It's something I've always wanted to do but I work and it's hard to find the time. I'd want it to be a good novel; something meaningful. And I think I'd need a long time to create something like that.
That's definitely a good way to spend your time! As a minor piece of advice, I'm sure you can write something meaningful without those bearimies! Every second and thought put into it counts. I believe in you!
Yeah Tahani was my least favorite of the four humans, but by the end, she was who I wanted to be most
Those were exactly my feelings! Throughout the show, I found her irritating and aggravating, but at the end she grew so much and seemed so wholesome and complete that she finally became the inspiration she always wanted to be.
Ironically wholesome, I suppose :)
This is one of my favorite shows and anytime I am talking to someone about good shows to watch, this is "the name I drop", The Good Place.
That sexi giraffe 🦒 it's my favorite character of the whole series
apparently according to the wiki page of the good place she is now an actual sexy giraffe inside a Tahani suit hahahaha
If I had unlimited Jeremy Bearimys, I would be like the Judge just watching every show ever and judging them hahaha
4:33 I never noticed that even Kamilah is denying being the one who saved Tahani
I hope the algorithm picks you up! This was as wholesome as the show.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Hopefully, we'll see! :)
Great video! Tahani's ending was my favourite!

This was a very well put together video! I'd love to see similar videos for some of the other characters. Michael would be excellent! I mean look at the drastic change he went through as well!
Thank you so much for the kind words! That has been asked for, so I am considering making another video for one/two of the other characters (time allowing, of course).
Yeah, Michael went through a drastic change as well, completely agreed! From a demon to... arguably, an 'angel', then a human, that's quite a few huge leaps for mankind, haha. I'd say Michael and Jason would be very fun to explore, perhaps! :)
@@ithinkicanwrite Yes, they would!
Thanks for the idea, Monica! This is incredibly incredibly late, but I DID end up making a video on Jason Mendoza and how he's always been a monk (not just became one with the Finale). Give that a go if you're interested, might make more videos on The Good Place depending on how people respond to them! Thanks again for the idea!
Watching Tahani’s journey made me realize how I’d love to spend my life: learning for the sake of it, experiencing new things, connecting with my family and chosen family, and working to make something good and even beautiful to help other people. I also need all my love and self acceptance, and don’t need a partner to give it to me. And like in Tahani’s journey, I realized I don’t really want a partner nor do I need one to be happy.
If I had an infinite amount of Bemeries I would play D&D with my friends but like, for reals. The DM crafts the world and the players go into it as their characters. They don't feel the pain for real but they experience everything else for real.
That seems to be a popular choice! And for good reason as well, given it sounds infinitely satisfying! :)
Your voice takes away my anxiety. Plus, i loved your points. RUclips is doing something right with recommendations!

She was always a great character. The finale just went ahead and made her an excellent one.
The whole business about her staying behind to help others achieve enlightenment makes her a Bodhisattva, doesn't it?
Having looked at it briefly, it certainly seems like it! However, I am not an expert on the matter so I can't say that with certainty.
The good place will always be one of my favorites shows

Dude your voice is seriously chill. I think I could listen to you talk about just about any topic and be pulled in.
Thank you, that's really nice of you to say!
One of my all time favorite shows with clever twists, deep themes and fascinating characters.
Like all of them in different ways, Tahani was hilarious. In her case, because her manner was so off putting.
Really all of the principals except Janet are at least somewhat unlikable to start. But that they are played by very attractive people was a good ploy which helped the audience to root for their eventual redemptions. And for me, that was particularly true with Tahani because Jameela is one of the most beautiful women who ever lived...
I love this video, explained it really well. Also I love your voice.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for this video. Tahani was a great character. Funny, sophisticated and genuinely likeable. What a journey she and the others went on.
Thank you for watching it, I'm glad you enjoyed it! She did go on an incredible journey and I'm glad we were there alongside all of them! :)
Thank you for putting the theme from The Good Place in your videos breaks. The Good Place really is spectacular. Not many hilarious TV shows can send you to the bookstore looking for books on morality.
Take it sleazy, everyone.
No worries! The Jason Mendoza video has the same type of breaks as well! :)
what an amazing, thorough, well written video!!! you put into words how i felt about the way the finale treated Tahani. the ending she deserved💘
if i had infinite bearimys, i’d learn every song to every musical out there, as well as playing many instruments, philosophy
Thank you so much for the kind words! I am glad you enjoyed the video!

Wonderful work on this.
I would study with the Great Artists to learn all the techniques I only know bits and pieces of.
Thank you so much! Oh, that's good! I think I'd love to do the same! Very hard to choose, there's so much to do with so much time!
When I read the title, I thought this was going to be a video discussing how Tahani had nothing to do in the final season, and the writers clearly hated writing for her at that point. She was completely reduced to the occasional comment that was completely interchangeable with any other character, just because she hadn't said anything in a while, or some flanderised go to stock joke about clothes or name drops.
I thought it was kind of cool after that that she ended up being the only one who's sense of purpose didn't dry up, since narratively she was the one that struggled with that the most. But it's still a bummer watching season 4, and just feeling how much the writers don't want to have to deal with her. Jason gets it too. That Nintendo Switch Ad that he does is pretty painful. But he still gets a bit more to do, especially with his thing with Janet. Tahani gets John Wheaton, plus a tiny bit of forced conflict with Elanor, and that's about it. She basically doesn't interact with anyone else throughout the whole rest of the show. Which sucks, because she's great. They should have brought in Barry Hemsworth or something. She could have been rebooted like Chidi, and actually had something to do.
This woman is beautiful. Period.
One of my favorite Tahani moments was when she ripped on Michael for name-dropping, and I was like “Oh, she gets it now.” Beautiful.
loved the video dude, a great summary of one of my favorite the good place characters 💕
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Had me crying all over again. Such a good show
If I had an infinite number of bearimies, I would visit all of the places that I never had a chance to see while alive. I would also engage in the risky adventures, such as sky diving, that I was too afraid to do on earth because I'd already be dead.
This is an excellent character analysis and I hope you continue to make many more videos.
I am glad you enjoyed the video! Many more videos are coming, on a variety of different topics!
Just had this video recommended to me! Cool video, I too enjoyed Tahani's journey and thought that her being an architect was a good fit/ending for her. I really enjoyed the show from beginning to the finale and am glad that the show didn't have any filler seasons and knew where to go and how to end everything.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah, the show was really good because it knew where it was headed from the beginning. It knew the story it wanted to tell and told it, which is why it worked so well! Beautiful ending for a beautiful show!
@@ithinkicanwrite Agreed!
What would I do with infinite Bearimys? Spend time with the people I care about. Visit the places I always wanted to go to. Just live a life that doesn’t involve work or life admin, where I can be free to focus on self improvement and having fun.
I completely get that! Just focus on enjoying life and living it to the fullest, rather than being somewhat hindered by adult responsibilities! :)
Great video mate
Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video man💓
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! :)
I really enjoyed the video.
If I had an infinite amount of Bearmies, I think I would honestly do what Tahani did, for the most part. Learn every skill, to a masterful level. Read every book. Watch every TV Show, movie and video. Just... do everything. I have infinite time
Thank you!
That's exactly it. Not only you would have an infinite amount of time, but an infinite amount of content would be produced on Earth as well. Which would mean that you could keep reading and consuming new content whenever you wanted to! Great idea!
The only thing i did not like is that she was so busy training she diddnt from what we saw get a proper goodbye with chidi or Elenor or michael
That was really unfortunate, I agree! But at least it didn't take any time away from their own journeys, I suppose! :)

I would visit a lot of history moments, reunite with my dog, learn every language, read so many books, eat delicious food, master figure skating and just spend my days surrounded by flowers and puppies in my perfect fantasy cottage. I would also get inside my favorite shows, movies and books to experience them as a character.
Tahani always felt like being a metaphor for society’s current flow: style over substance and her “redemption” shows how humanity would be more zen by aiding people without ulterior motives…
This is amazing! I was wondering if you will do a video on Eleanor and Chidi
I am glad that you enjoyed the video! While I haven't made a video on them yet (not sure if I will), I have made a video on Jason, and on the Judge, both looking at The Good Place from different perspectives.

A peak behind the scenes: Actually, this video falls under fair use for many reasons. Even still, I have not contested the fair use claim that NBC has placed upon it, because I have not done this for any financial proceeds, but because I wanted to talk about a topic and share that with the world!
I just finished watching the Good Place. I watched it so much I had a dream with Tahani. ...not THAT kind of dream.
Solid work my fellow dude.
Thank you my kindred bro!
Amazing video! Looking forward to the next ones!
Thank you! One should be coming out today!
I miss this show so much.
What are your thoughts on Jason's overall arc in the show?
edit: just uploaded a video about this, so thank you for making me think about it! :)
(rant incoming, haha)
I think Jason was always meant to become/be a contemporary & modern monk (or version of Jian Yu). There are often a lot of times when he is lost and he doesn't know what is happening, but that is because he is truly at peace with himself. When he is not at peace with matters, he is truly, sincerely, upset, rather than angry or furious.
His character arc was mostly about quiet, peace, and self-acceptance, in my opinion. He is wise, as he often says things that seem odd, but they give others good ideas. He is inpatient at first, but then he pushes past that and truly becomes a monk when he waits in the forest. And, he accepts himself and his role as a person as his relationship with his father is fixed in the finale.
Also, as to those molotov cocktail incidents- they're not out of malice. They're out of a naive and innocent child's attempts at escaping negativity and repercussions, and who can blame him? Jason is all about expression of self, in the most direct and sincere ways possible- which is why dancing is a big part of his story.
Also, thanks for asking because it did lead to the video I made about Jason having always been a monk! Thank you so much! :)
"Is big Ben somehow your godfather?"
"Mmhmm"
That line 😂😂😂 didn't hear that the first time 💀 If I had an infinite amount of Beremies I'd visit the world, party in the Bahamas, shop in harajuku, eat pastries and shop in paris, research Greek, Egyptian, and other mythology, visit temples, spiritual training in the new age arts, draw everywhere, learn different dances, write stories and comics, plant a garden, learn to sing a lot of songs, binge animated movies randomly, have a fashion show, go on many many safaris, etc.
Honestly, that line got me so bad! Hahaha! It really showed just how focused the show was on fixing Tahani's faults by the end of the last season!
I completely get what you're saying! Experience anything and everything as much as possible!
With an infinite amount off Beriamy’s I would
Try and sleep for 10.000.00 hours? 😂
I would give myself superpowers
I would do everything I ever wanted to do
And if I feel like I’m ready
I’ll go to another place where my life will turn back into something like earth
With struggles and all so that I can feel accomplished when I learn a new skill or something
I think I'd learn all the skills I'm interested in, and use them to make gifts for people
Yes, thx 4 this video. The Good Place is the best show ever. I think I would try to do something like what Tahani did.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think I would do something similar as well, though Jason's experience also seems quite good!
@@ithinkicanwrite yeah, all of them had amazing journeys! Michael is also a character that grew amazingly in the series!!!!! Grew to become only human, with all of our flaws and troubles, but happy, understanding already the whole journey after life on Earth. It was btfl.
@@aninhapmr Michael's journey was incredible. He went from a demon, to an 'angel', then a human, all through determination, perseverance, and a bit of luck. Truly out of this world.
I feel like I would want to become an architect, but not to reform people, to provide people in the good place with new experiences. Like designing essentially entire new worlds for people to live in and explore. Maybe even have their memory rebooted for the duration if they want to 'live' in that world for a while like a normal person. After all I'm a game designer and I feel like that's the ultimate expression of my craft.
Plus I feel like whoever designed the universe really cheaped out on the fun stuff so making a few worlds with some magic systems and dragons and shit should help people enjoy a few hundred beramys~
I like her more because she's the only one left.
if I had the bearimies in the good place I would go on and DM my dream version of D&D as a god to a world filled with janet babies and a few people with their set superpowers that should last a couple million bearimies in my books
Immersive D&D! I like it!
I think perhaps the singular flaw with the finale (as far as the philosophy it proposes goes - and I wouldn't call it a flaw, really, so much as it was an unexplored avenue) is that there isn't really an 'end' to learning - and that's probably what I'd spend those bearimies doing. Time being what it is, the human race as it develops will continue creating new technologies and doing new things, giving us an arguably almost infinite amount of things to learn or experience. New stories, new worlds, new ideas...
If there's ever a day where those run out, then sure, I'll be satisfied. But I think I'd want to learn every skill I can, and explore every story I can.
I completely agree with the ideology behind: 'you can never stop learning because things are always being created and can always be experienced, even if you only take the human race in mind'.
However, I feel like maybe an inhered lesson is learning everything you wanted to know? You learn everything you want to know, develop every skill, then choose another path in (after)life. I feel like that was Tahani's journey here.
@@ithinkicanwrite Oh, absolutely. The show tried to show us a little bit of what everyone might need to feel really fulfilled - whether it was Eleanor helping the last people in her life get what they truly needed, Tahani learning every skill she wanted, Chidi getting to live out a life with Eleanor and their families getting to know one another, or Jason just... playing the perfect game of Madden.
Of course it's a little more complex than that, and there's a little bit more to everyone - reconciling with their parents and so on - but overall they tried to show us the breadth of goals people might have, and more importantly that at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how big or small what you need is. I thought it was a nice touch and I think most people will find someone to identify with. Personally, Tahani's goal of learning is something I want to spend my life (and any possible afterlife) pursuing - and I'm glad she didn't just go through the door, and now gets to put those skills to use somewhere.
Love the video
Thank you!
Tahani is just Nebula but less evil
Including redemption arch
You are genius. I wonder if kamilah has anything in common with gamora?
if I had a infinite amount of bermeys I would use them to just live out any dumb thought that appears in my head that could be fun/funny
Rebecca Hazlewood (Kamila) starred in Outsourced. Such a great and underrated one season comedy
I would call it a completion arc.
A well lived life is better than an eternal one
Are we sure? (😉🖖🤎)
The biggest flaw in her character, or her story, is the lack of motivation. Season three and four gave her motivation to improve as a person but she had none in season 1 and only late in season 2. Since each season the human characters start fresh, except for season 4, I consider same human in different seasons a separate character. The last version was complete but the previous versions were not well written.
I think I would take tahanis path and learn things
Please do all the characters in the good place . My most favourite tv series.
We have done Jason and the Judge as well! :)
@@ithinkicanwrite oh yes I binged on those already. I really like the your content... i would like to hear about other characters too, please. I am sure they would be a through analysis as Tahani, Jason and Judge were. 👏👏👏
