If hell is other people, then maybe heaven is too. My crazy theory is that when they reform the afterlife, they create a bunch of medium place neighborhoods that are similar to Michael's original "good" place. Humans are sorted into groups in a way similar to the original 4. Then it's up to the humans if they'll work together to become better or make each other miserable.

Either intention matters or it doesn't, mens rea vs actus rea. It changes the way the system works dramatically.

If you have bad intention, you lose points regardless of the result. If your actions have bad results, you lose points regardless of the intention. You only gain points if you have good intentions and your actions result in good outcomes.

In the US legal system, most crimes require you to have both mens rea and actus rea. The points system in the show is the inverse of this, where either one of the two alone will convict you.

I thought that was a great episode.

I wish that when they were doing the slideshow of his various "soulmates", it included the guy who always had to go to the gym. I just really wanted that callback.
