That slapstick gag at the start of the show was violently out of place. It took me several minutes to get back into the episode. The whole VR memory thing is a bit of a stretch that can be glossed over. Losing all your hair and spitting out teeth, only to “recover” a few minutes later, is straight Looney Tunes poo poo that has no place on Earth

Other than that, it was really good.

Why do Eleanor's memories include a Tahani and Michael conversation she wasn't in?

I think it's because it's not really Eleanor's memories. The way I understood it, Janet was the one who compiled all of the memories. She may have gathered the data from all four of the human's memories, but since she was compiling it, there'd be a record of anything any of them experienced. (And, the memory bank could also have stuff that none of them experienced, as long as Janet knew about it.)

Huh, that didn't really take me out of the episode, but your reaction here is very similar to my reaction to the monster taxi a couple of weeks ago; kind of ruined that episode for me (which is a shame because I otherwise liked the Jason plot) and did some serious damage to my engagement with the season as a whole. I really liked this episode, but I see what you mean about that gag; I think it's part of a larger problem where staying on Earth is making the writers antsy to keep the wacky fantastical over-the-top comedy going, but it's really clashing with the distinction between the real world and the non-real-world that the series stayed in for most of the first two seasons. I think the first symptom of this was the Americana-themed restaurant; it was really funny, but it was also written exactly the same way that the fake Good Place's gag businesses were written in seasons one and two - actually probably a fair bit sillier. At the time, I laughed off the bit with the "real" gun and assumed it was just Chidi being naive and jumpy, but in retrospect, given some of the jokes that have happened since then, I think it was just meant to be taken at face value.

Assuming that we don't get some kind of huge bombshell twist that this was really a fake Earth (which would admittedly be awesome and classic Good Place), I definitely think that this season has been a big step down in quality from the first season and certainly the second season, which is really too bad because for the most part it's just as good; it's exploring such interesting ground in terms of character development and thematic development, but it just has so many nagging completely unnecessary suspension-of-disbelief-piercing moments that seem to come from the writers not knowing how to handle so much Earth. I don't remember any problems like that in the first two seasons.

She was the young girl that wandered into town with her brother with a story about how they were looking for their dad, and they ended up working for the brothel/saloons. They turned out to be grifters and got caught stealing, and Cy Tolliver beat them half to death and shot them the rest of the way.

I think we're just supposed to accept that their version of Earth is a very wacky one. I mean, go back and listen to all of the things Jason says about Jacksonville in seasons 1 and 2. He says some outlandish poo poo that we're never really led to believe is incorrect. Most of what we're seeing this season is totally in line with Jason attending Lynyrd Skynyrd High School, a school that consists of a bunch of tugboats lashed together in a junkyard and where most of the classes are just selling dirty magazines door-to-door.

I thought they ran that "everything in Australia is <something> Nemo" joke into the ground, though. C'mon, you can do more Australia jokes than that.
