Instead of FUCK SPEZ (which will probably get censored for vulgarity / profanity) how about:

FIRE SPEZ

Gorgeous case & lid / wrist rest. What did you use for key blockers?

The comments timed out twice for me before it would load on Jerboa. That’s just perfect. 👌

Our Janet says at some point that she doesn’t experience time the way humans do.

I took that to mean that, while she’s of course sad to see Jason walk through the door, in a very real, tangible sense he will live forever in her memory. Her memory is also her reality.

As an artificial being, the part of her that’s like a robot, if not a robot per se, must have something analogous to a hard drive. And since Janets are effectively indestructible, her data never degrades, unlike fallible human memory.

If she wanted, she could probably conjure up a new Jason just as she did Derek, her more sophisticated Janet babies, or how Jason made a Pillboi in her void. Or she could just relive her memories of him as if they were happening in the present.

Add in Jeremy Bearimy to the mix, and perhaps he really does come back to the Afterlife again, in a way even the other remaining Cockroaches (just Tahani now, I suppose) can experience.

As to whether Janets are “forced” to serve, I think that goes back to the question of sentience. They are created with the desire to serve, it’s programmed into them.

And despite all her personal growth over the seasons, even our Janet generally enjoys serving her friends (maybe “helping” would be the better word here.)

So are Janets enslaved? Maybe, but at minimum it’s something they enjoy doing.

At maximum they’d be miserable without some kind of service, some purpose to their existence. Just like Michael and the humans, everyone needs a rock to push up the hill, even Janets.

Just the once, for the Rewatch on the sub. We flew through the whole series in anticipation of Mike Schur’s AMA. :)

If there’s interest maybe we could do a communal Rewatch on here once all the dust settles. What do you think?
