Season 4 is gonna be, like, a rotating ensemble of characters that the gang tries to rehabilitate in the new good place or something.

I wonder who died in 1497 that made it into the Good Place.

I doubt that the person who got into the Good Place 521 years ago is a real, historical person but looking at deaths in 1497 does bring up this person whose life sounds like Doug Forcett as a medieval nun.quote:Having no formal education, she attempted, unsuccessfully, to teach herself to read.[1] While making this effort one night, it is said that the Virgin Mary appeared to Veronica, telling her that while some of her pursuits were necessary, her reading was not. Instead, the Virgin taught her in the form of three mystical letters: quote:Veronica became accustomed to nearly constant apparitions and religious ecstasies. She saw scenes from the life of Christ, yet these never interrupted her work.[3] She joined an Augustinian lay order at the convent of Saint Martha in Milan at the age of 22.[1] This community was very poor; Veronica's job was to beg in the streets of the city for food.[3] After three years into her vocation as a nun she became racked with secret bodily pains, but was notably patient and obedient to her superiors.[3] She received a vision of Christ in 1494, and was given a message for Pope Alexander VI, and traveled to Rome to deliver it.[1] After a six-month illness, Veronica died on the date she had predicted, 13 January 1497. quote:Veronica is remembered in the Augustinian Order for her obedience and desire for work. Butler records a remark she made to her sister nuns: "I must work while I can, while I have time." She's the only person on the Wikipedia page of 1497 deaths who seems even close to a candidate for the Good Place.

My favorite Darcy acting moment was when I thought she was going a bit too far with the Jason impression and then it was goddamn Darcy pretending to be Eleanor pretending to be Jason.

Thranguy posted:Lincoln was in the show, from Michael. The pilot? Speaking of the podcast, I’m listening to it now, and this episode was originally going to be aired after the holiday break. NBC didn’t have new episodes of the other Thursday shows to air with it, but Schur convinced them to run it, in part to better the chances of D’Arcy being noticed as awards season starts to ramp up, so NBC moved poo poo around to make it happen. That’s very cool, and good.

pwn posted:It’s either that, and/or, 1497 was simply the year that The Bad Place started hacking the gibson. Do we know if that's true, or is it just what Michael thinks? Points for an action apparently never change, perhaps a few things that got assigned negative points the first time they happened centuries ago are super common now. Maybe the first person to sleep alone on a mattress got penalised because they didn't want to share it and gave somebody else an uncomfortable night, or... I can't think of any good examples. Oh hey, "The most recent resident of The Good Place arrives." is on the year's Wiki page, I wonder how long that will stay.

Or, in accordance that People Can Change In The Afterlife, one of the Good Place residents became bad and just prevented any new arrivals? I mean if someone like Mindy could have ended up in The Good Place, I imagine not everyone that actually got in were immaculate souls.

I think the idea is that the point values haven't changed, but maybe the Bad Place hacked the threshold figure for getting into the Good Place. So the same amount of points that used to get you in, now doesn't.

Something's off about the goddamn point threshold. Doug Forcett has 520.000 points. And he still doesn't get in somehow. What do you need to get into the good place?! Does every person who does get into the good place increase the threshold by 1000 points?!

It’s not just a matter of the points threshold if innocently stuffing an eggplant full of hot sauce and nickels so you can have sexy with it is worth over -9 000 points. First clue was Neil glibly referring to assigning points values for novel actions as working out how many points they’d lose, as if the sign of the modification was a foregone conclusion.

They talk about weird sex things as if they all get negative points, when really most should be neutral to positive if they’re not illegal or hurting anyone. I’m betting the same is true for other actions as well - humans are constantly doing things the accounting team finds gross/weird/strange, so accounting is always assigning negative points to everything.

uvar posted:Do we know if that's true, or is it just what Michael thinks? This is all a bureaucracy, and in a bureaucracy people don't care about what's going on outside their department. Generally people only know what's going on in other departments through hearsay or from their bosses, and and long as the system in general is still chugging along, everything is fine. Yeah, nobody's gotten into the Good Place for five hundred and change years, but the system itself is still chugging along so obviously it's working as intended. As far as Michael knew up now, the system was working correctly and people were going to the Good Place, because he had no reason to think otherwise and besides, that's not his job. He just worries about the people being sent to the Bad Place.
