Remember, the flu season dance is about awareness, not celebration. You don't bring dead babies to Passover.

Seriously though this loving show. I was expecting them to resolve the potion part of the show within that narrative. As crazy and hosed as that was it would have been funny to see mobs constantly chasing him, this show doesn't do your usual vanilla zombie poo poo so that would have been interesting and then they went full hosed up with the body horror stuff and instead of returning everyone save for the people Jerry shotgunned, it just threw the baby out with the bathwater. This loving show does not care what you want to happen. My only problem with the state of things is now we're going to constantly question if this universe is "canon" or not and this isn't even the drat inception episode!

I just love the casual and widespread use of the word Chronenberg as a noun and a verb.

I can see why that episode was originally scheduled as the 2nd. It seems like a thesis statement for Rick's character. The universe is arbitrary and cruel, and he just tries not to think about it too much.

His refusal to consider the consequences of his actions is the cause of almost every awful thing that happens on the show, but I guess that's kind of the point.

I know I'm going to be alone here, but my favorite part of this show so far is when his math teacher is watching the stupid TV show before they 'incept' him. 'You don't know me.' 'Nice Mrs. Pancakes, real nice.' Wheat thins? I'll take two. It's the small things.

I liked how their principal was on the PA early in the episode announcing the Flu Season dance reminding people not to go to the dance if they actually have the flu.

Does anyone else remember the episode of futurama where Fry, the Prof, and Bender travel forward in time until the universe resets itself, and then the time machine lands and kills their past selves, and they just took their other selves' place? Yeah that really bothered me, but no one seemed to care. Leela is now in love with a completely different Fry than before! This episode of Rick and Morty finally gave me closure, and taught me a valuable lesson on analyzing science fiction cartoons. Don't think about it. Thanks Rick and Morty!

Dr Christmas posted:I liked that Cronenberg-Rick and Cronenberg-Morty still referred to themselves a such despite being from a world where being one was normal, and referred to a never-before-seen genetic anomaly as "normal people just walking around." In that universe Cronenberg directs very simple movies that display the brutal simplicity of humanity.

Keep in mind it also doesn't go with the character development Rick gets last episode either, when he determines that "it is important to clean up the universe"

Jerry is skinny Homer Griffin. And only once (getting fired) has things not worked out for him in the end relatively speaking. I enjoy the antics but yeah not exactly groundbreaking character

I kinda want my fan art to become an episode. I never draw fan art for wish fulfillment...but I want Rick and Morty to take on an Alien-esq creature. I just want to see where they'd go with the concept.

That would be brilliant. I've always liked well done Alien references, and I think this show could pull it off perfectly without hitting the cliches.

Rick accidentally releases a population of Ewok-like creatures into his universe which start to breed out of control and become an invasive species. To fix this he releases xenomorphs to hunt and kill the Ewoks. But then the xenomorphs get out of hand so he has to introduce Predator creatures to cull them down. Eventually the Predators become a problem too, so he creates an army of Terminators to search and destroy them...

A friend of mine's a huge Cronenberg fan and said it was hilariously terrible, but it's great. I can't imagine something like that getting made in 1999. I legitimately thought it came out in like 2006 until I saw your post.

I think it's interesting that Phil Hendrie does the voice of the Principal in his natural speaking voice, since he's know for doing different voice characters on the radio.

His regular voice is pretty awesome though. Also I have to say the voice acting talent in this show is just top notch. Maurice Lamarche and Rob Paulson alone make it for me. I think I also heard Tom Kenny and Billy West as well or I could have imagined those two.

quote:Community creator Dan Harmon's new series, the animated Adult Swim sci-fi comedy Rick and Morty, has been renewed for a second season. Adult Swim has yet to confirm the renewal, but one of the writers who was added for Season 2, Matt Roller (Community), posted a picture of the show's Season 2 writing staff on Twitter earlier this week that has since been removed. There's no word on how many episodes the new season will be.
