Well stated.

Thanks, I missed that.

I'd add him to the list, too! But Bambadjan's betrayal still hurts the most for some reason.

I agree with most of your observations and in fact commented previously that (a) that was a lot of world-building for four people and (b) while Jason wasn't content, he was far from miserable.

Just amazingly well-designed and executed.

Do we have enough information to figure out some of the hierarchy of the Bad Place?

It said all of that?!

I decided to come back to this question because on the one hand, what you suggested makes perfect sense. BUT, if we think about it more closely, why would Chidi believe her if she just rolled up and said what was in your suggested note?

Sure, but does Mindy know that they all came from the Bad Place? If so, why not just tell them that? Other than the fact that that would ruin one hell (no pun intended) of a reveal.

Plus, her sister followed through with the plans, helping countless people. Hence the conundrum faced by the Good and Bad Places.

That's a disturbingly good point!

I actually feel betrayed by him. Oddly, more so than Michael, who at times was petulant, moody, and mean (little did we know…). Bambadjan's presence was always so warm and friendly and now his smiles and hugs are like daggers to my heart!

My guess is that that would not be enough. She would know that it was the Bad Place, but have no idea who to reach out to. If anything Michael said is to believed, there are 322 residents in the Bad Place. She'd have no idea where to start.

I think the issues are these:
1. The pressure of time, she didn't know when Michael would come back.
2. What could she write that would make sense for a pre-evolved Eleanor? Think about it, old Eleanor learning that she was in the Bad Place with a hunky mailman probably wouldn't give a shirt.
3. It probably had to be…

I'm not sure, I think that some people commented that something seemed off with Michael. I just chalked it up to incompetence. It was his first neighborhood and mistakes were made.

I hadn't considered that, that's an interesting idea.

I am not questioning whether or not they have the resources to do it, but why would they want to invest so much into just four people?

I think that that is a really good point. None of them were straight up evil:

Since my initial post earlier tonight, I have been going over past episodes with a new perspective realizing how much makes SO much more sense. A number of us have already commented on the froyo, laundry, dishes aspect of "The Good Place" that made no sense, so I'll say no more about that.
However:

YES, that makes so much sense!
