Literally made my jaw drop

I think it could really work. They could keep building on what happened before in subtle ways. You'd know that Michael was doing X because Y had happened last time or the time before. Or Micheal could make inside jokes with the audience because the characters don't remember what happened before.

It's almost like Stepford Wives, without the wives.

Have to be honest, it wasn't obvious to me either and you're right, that's why the twist was so good! My only point of disagreement would be with good Michael vs bad Michael. Danson's portrayal of good Michael as awkwardly goofy was interesting and well done, but he seemed to come alive after the reveal. It's going to be fun watching him pull off both if he gets the chance.

>Going back and watching the older episodes it does seem obvious now but before I saw the last episode I just chalked all that stuff up to this being a silly light hearted show about the afterlife.

You can almost hear Michael asking, "Do you think kicking the dog into the sun was too much? Did I almost give the whole thing away??"

i was not either and after bingeing the whole show I almost feel like rewatching it to see what is really going on in the back ground. haha

I was caught completely by surprise as well.
