I'm still loving this show, I think its one of the better concepts on TV right now and is this great combination of comedy and philosophical debate about ones actions.

I think they finally got to the core of the show tonight when Elenor was sent back to her life at the moment that she was killed, but she was saved and decided that she needed to be a better person but in the end she basically slid back to her old self.

But it discussed the concept of Moral Dessert, the idea that people expect that if you do a good deed that you should gain some kind of reward, which is actually a selfish reason to do a good deed.

I love this show, Kristen Bell is amazing in it, and Ted Danson is just a lot of fun.
