Chidi on Earth
Wasn't Chidi supposed to be French speaking when he was alive? Now he's giving lectures and talking to living Eleanor with his American English accent. So much fot continuity.

shareYeah, I was expecting Chidi to speak French when Eleanor walked into his office (even though he already spoke English in the videolectures, but maybe it was dubbed). Instead of learning ethics, she needs to learn French first xD
Maybe they are still dead and the "real/living world" is another fake experimental place created by Michael/Janet/The Judge. Therefore Chidi could still speak English fluently. Or maybe the world is real but it's not the real Chidi and Chidi is still in Africa.
I didn't think about them still being dead. That's a pretty good theory and it does keep in line with the show. I think the premise was that the real Chidi made Eleanor better, so hopefully they're not gonna do (more) fakes. With this show, you never know!
shareI assumed they were still dead from the jump, and was also wondering about this. I didn't see a problem with Chidi speaking English (I think he said he'd travelled to the US to give lectures in the past, among other places), but I figured he should have had an accent.
shareYes, he should have had an accent at least.
shareYes you are right - Chidi definitely said he said he was speaking French to Elenor in that first episode of Season 1 and that the ‘Good Place’ was translating it but he also mentions that he taught in Australia, Hong Kong and Paris, so I just figured he’d most likely know quite a few languages.
He’d definitely have to have great English to teach in Australia so I’m going to give the writers a ‘soft’ pass on this one.
I think French is his native language, and the language he's most comfortable speaking, but he's still fluent in English.

Who cares? Boring.

You cared enough to leave a response. Now move along little troll. I'm sure there's a lonely bridge out there with your name on it.

Why am I a troll? I simply gave my honest opinion. I used to like this show, but it's gone off the rails, imho.

"Then state if ffs"??
Ooooh, touched a nerve there, didn't I? My goodness you're arrogant and thin skinned! Buck up Buttercup,
and get over yourself!
And btw, who cares?
😎
So that means we're in agreement. You have nothing of value to add.
And despite my overwhelming arrogance I will deign to get one such as yourself some magnificent words of wisdom, totally free of charge. When you insult someone yet you can't spell or type, and you want to quote them, make sure to use the copy & paste function.
I can't spell? You're the one who typed "ffs", not me. That's not a word, Buttercup.
Yep. You are totally triggered, Buttercup. Just keep ranting and raving, and I'll sit back and laugh at you.
You must really lead an empty life if you're so passionate about a stupid post on a movie chat board.
You really need to get a life.
😎
I was only slightly annoyed at first. Now I'm totally fascinated by how triggered you've become over being called out over a little bad behavior. Buttercup, eh? Do you want me to be your buttercup? I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement. And as far as a life is concerned, you've got nearly 15k posts on this site. I have less than 10. Maybe you should find a non-binary non-judgmental buttercup irl to spend time with. It might improve your demeanor.
Looking forward to your next reply,
XOXO
And I find it hilarious reading your responses. Keep'em comin', Buttercup. As to my "bad behavior",
All I said was "Who cares? Boring." Apparently in your snowflake universe that's a capital offense,
but it really isn't out here in the real world.
As to the number of posts we each have, #1 that's irrelevant #2 I've been posting a lot longer
than you have #3 I have an AMAZING Life. I won't bore you with the details unless you ask nicely. #4 I'm retired, so I probably have more time for fun stuff like this than you do, since I'm guessing you're still a young wage slave.
Thanks for the hugs and kisses, right back at ya!

Wow your life must be great saying the same comment again and again on every post about this show. Why can't you allow people who enjoy this show to comment on it and you just go and run along and play with whatever trolls like you play with
share
It is, thanks.
As to saying it "again and again", I last said it three months ago. You're the bozo who just brought it up again. And if you can't enjoy a show when someone says something negative about it, you're a really sad little snowflake, and I feel sorry for you.
Just ignore me, and run along and watch your precious little show, wimp.
😎
There was a line explaining he can speak many languages. You are right about the accent but it doesn't bother me, this isn't that good or realistic that I would worry about details like that.
