What's even funnier is I said the same thing right before he did.
I've been looking up famous people who died in 1497. One of the Borgias... maybe they hacked the system and stopped anyone else going?
That's all I got.

Realizing the head accountant was Wheatley's forking voice actor broke me. So good
Also what a fucking place to take a break until the rest of the season.
I can't wait.
edit: I also really liked the Eleanor/Chidi scene because Chidi's technically right but they fell in love all over again in their new life.
She deserves it.

I'm so glad that D'Arcy Carden went the extra mile and actually changed her accent for each of the different characters. I get why it's not done more often and extra props to her for that, but it's one of things that unreasonably annoys me about body switching plots.
That's all my kids know of Stephen Merchant, so when I pointed it out they flipped out.
That always annoys me. I know some actors may not do the part well, but I'd honestly take that over the voice over.
According to the podcast, there's a take of the last shot where Eleanor says "soak my deck we're in the forking Good Place" but they didn't use it. I'm mildly disappointed.

There actually have been "Extended Cut" versions of The Good Place available through NBC in the past. I'm not seeing any for Season 3 though.
This episode really helped fill the missing void left by Orphan Black. Well done D'Arcy Carden!
She'd know everything a human has ever done but not the points assigned to each action
In the past I think the extended versions of the first half only started showing up after the second half of the season began and the extended versions of the second half showed up after the season ended. Since this season isn't divided up like that we might only get them when the season is over.
There was a point where you can tell when in Jeremy Berrimy the Jason and Janet wedding took place. It had a little arrow in the beginning of Berrimy
My favorite gag in the entire first season was in the extended cut. After Janet reboots and keeps summoning cacti, she shows up with Eleanor's file and assures Michael it's not a cactus.
It's a folder full of pictures of cacti.

D'Arcy Carden is no Tatiania Maslany and she didn't nail all the characters IMO (wasn't really feeling Chidi-Janet) but it was a strong showcase of her talent.

Good episode. Stephen Merchant's appearance just made me think back to that bit in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, although this time it was his turn to have a tray slapped out of his hands.
For as good an episode as it was, Always Sunny's "The Gang Turns Black" never let the black actors cut loose with their Gang member impressions.
This season has had pacing issues, but it never ceases to amaze how often they reboot and go, "Well, that setting/storyline is over!" The Good Place should be fun to see.
Crazy... I thought her Chidi was the best one. Tougher to nail than Tahani or Jason since it's a little more subtle
I wasn't sold on Chidi Janet either at first but I'd suggest you listen to the podcast. They played a clip of her talking to Eleanor Janet and in audio form I could hear her perfectly emulate the way Chidi inserts stops in his sentences as though he's hesitating for a split second to choose a word, and the way he drags out certain sounds. She actually nailed it.

Gizmodo's article outlines the schedule for the remaining three episodes, which includes a schedule change:
I mean, they've done the same with The Blacklist and that's still going strong.
You mean because of the "Not a lady," bit? That's just because Janet technically isn't a lady.
While I watched I was half expecting the same long shot of Merchant walking through doors.
To add to what W-00 said, from the very beginning of the show she maintained that despite her appearance, she's not a female human. Janet has leaned in with "not a lady" comments many times over the course of the series. The joke here was just that the other characters were echoing that after all this time. She's a weird robotic construct that has no genitalia. It's not some PC "It's not okay to say lady" thing.
Yeah my wife and I were discussing this and unless there's some weird Jeremy Bearimy stuff going on, I'm curious how they explain Mindy's situation.
Ahhh, okay. Now that you mention it, I remember Janet's not a human running gag. Both Elenaor and Tahani saying it so quickly caught me off guard I guess and wasn't sure if I had missed something.
I think it's possible Mindy's charity really generated that many points. She said it was supposed to help everyone and if the number of points gets higher depending on how many people are affected by a positive action that could mean A LOT of points.
Another important point is that we saw the point calculation for the new weird sex thing with the eggplant. The guy who did it lost almost 10.000 points for that, if it's that easy to lose a ton of points it could explain why remarkable people still end up in the bad place.
So basically Mindy died at the right point where she had enough points to get into the good place (if it wasn't for the question if she got credit for the charity or not) but before she could lose them again, had she lived only 2 years longer she might have snorted and masturbated enough points away to be thrown into the bad place despite her charity points being counted for her without question.
my only guess is that since time is a indirect there and humans have only been around so long. When whoever (the bad place) circumvented the point system they mad the medium place scapegoat. you can't say everyone goes to the bad place when at least 5 people have made it to the medium place. This would happen at the 1st cake party for Marisol's last time she turned 39,000,000
also one of the multiple people shifts of Eleanor was Cassie from season 7 of Buffy or a really good look alike who still looks in their 20's
Ok, now who was the last / most recent person to get into The Good Place? There has to be a deliberately chosen answer to that question, right? I can't imagine Schur just picking 500+ years out of thin air for no reason!
