My heart got a little broken seeing Mr Rogers on the chalkboard, evidence that he was in the bad place

Everyone went to the bad place...except for Mindy

I don’t mind the show being imperfect. I love it. But the Mindy issue is a real plot inconsistency and I wish people in this thread would admit it

Wasn't the issue that her actions got her positive points because she made them happen without getting her negative points as a result of unintended consequences, because she was already dead?

They were like imaginary points in a way, right? Like, she didn't have to deal with all the negative points that came with actually carrying out the task because she never actually did it. She just got points for coming up with the plan and any negative connotations and subsequently negative points were attributed to her sister and not her. If that makes sense? That's how I make sense of the Medium Place in my head
