Jesse, I thought her Eleanor pretending to be Jason was even better.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
ALSO, does this mean that Mindy is objectively the best human over the past 500 years?
I was wondering about that, too. It seems like if the Bad Place has been hacking the results, then Mindy must have earned way more points than anyone else to overcome the gerrymandering.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm very interested in finding out exactly what the shenanigans are. My gut tells me the whole points system is conceptually flawed but I don't know how that leads to the overwhelming Bad Place bias and also Mindy.
With any other show I would guess that that wouldn't be resolved in the next 3 episodes, but with this one, well, who knows?

What is even happening?
I somehow think Mindy doesn't have to be the best person in 500 years, because of wibbly-wobbly Jeremy Bearimy timey-wimey stuff (like Narnia time).
The tampering just had to happen sometime after Mindy's death and before the Team Cockroach members' deaths.
In other words, last night's episode doesn't have to take place 30 years after the 1980s in The Good Place and The Bad Place, and The Medium Place. In fact it can't.
Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason died in 2016, and were brought back to life in 2016, and Mindy died in the 80s, and Doug is still alive in 2016, on earth, but in The Adjective Places, hundreds of years have passed.
Anyhow, I didn't come in to think. I just came in to "OMGOMGthatwasamazing" about the episode and especially about D'Arcy Carden, so OMGOMGthatwasamazing!!!!!!!!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
D'Arcy Carden's version of Jason was PERFECT. She is amazing and I love her.

Another possibility for Mindy is that since almost all of her positive points came right before she died, they got past the hack somehow. Imagine something like the hacker demon notices the big addition, but since the overall total still didn't make for a net positive they didn't think to do anything about it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jessica, I had the same thought. I have some hope that the writers will address it shortly(maybe via the Jeremy Bearimy thing).
Cindy, I got the distinct impression that Doug was also alive in Accountant Land.
Also, yes, this is totally D'Arcy's Emmy submission We got everything but a Bad Janet.

I think so, but I think the Jeremy Bearimy maybe takes care of that.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

One of the things I love most about this show is I am *100%* confident that if I noticed a thing, the writers are several steps ahead of me re: that thing, and if I just sit back and wait, it will come back in an unexpected yet thoroughly satisfying way.
