So who is getting fired over this?

The immediate fault lies with the guy who named and/or uploaded the files to the adult swim servers, the guy who leaked them said episodes 1-5 were all uploaded with the same filename format and he just changed the numbers. He said he was trying to download episode 4 when they seemed to be removed.

But there are probably other dumb things with their server setup that made this easy too. I'm not sure how huge companies that deal significantly in digital media make mistakes like that these days.

Yeah it seems like almost every show I follow has had something along the lines of this happen within the last year, or, even better, when iTunes accidentally releases an episode too early. I have no idea how this can continue happening as often as it does.

Dan Harmon. He will somehow get the blame, season 3 will be lacklustre but with moments of brilliance, he will come back for an abbreviated season 4 and season 5 will end up being streamed on instagram's new video platform.

Oh, at the very end with the two testicle monsters I noticed that some rodent hopped into their bubble in dinosaur times and hopped out a lot later, which amuses me and I hope there will be consequences to that but I super doubt it.

A bit late on this, but when I watched it it looked like the rat walked out of the bubble right as they were over nothing but water and just fell right in. Poor little guy.

Also goddamnit now I have to weigh the pros and cons of satisfying my desire for a new episode right now vs. having a new episode to look forward to after next week.

Its clear they're trying to make the shows seem emotionally deep, but honestly, I felt the pathos was unearned.

I think the show is close to earning it, but missing in small ways. For example, I don't know if I totally buy Rick's affection for Morty in the premiere as it seems a little of out of left field. Likewise the concern he shows for his grandchildren in the newly leaked episode was surprising, and the argument between Beth and Jerry was kind of awkwardly expository. That's not to say that these first three episodes aren't good; they've been really funny and entertaining, with some room for improvement in the domain of earning these "emotionally deep" moments.

Considering Dino Stamatopoulos' relationship with Rick & Morty (through Starburns) and Dan Harmon, I really think the show's staff should look to Moral Orel for how to turn something that on the surface is very silly and funny into something dark and poignant.

I'm very fond of this cartoon, but the bits with Beth and Jerry are often the worst stuff and feel like such lazy filler that sometimes I wonder if I'm watching a completely different show. Jerry alone, or Beth alone, or either one with other members of the cast all work fine, but the two of them together just turns into the most hackneyed of milquetoast sideshows. And I know that's the point, but the show doesn't subvert it nearly enough for the shtick to actually function as a gag the vast majority of the time.

The alien mic drop moment in the leaked episode is a perfect example of when and why it doesn't work. Having someone just stand there and soliloquize about why these two people are lovely and lovely together isn't any kind of shocking reveal, and there isn't even any schadenfreude at seeing them get busted down because we've already listen to the two bicker for something like half the episode and all you want is for all of them to just shut the hell up so we can get back to the manic-depressive space-man hijinks.

The alien's monologue was rather lazy writing, and seemed like something out of a worse sitcom. The idea of it being a horrible monster delivering that speech to subvert that kind of television writing crutch wasn't really enough to keep it interesting. I hope the show learns to handle these moments better because I like its intent with them.

I feel a little embarrassed, but I'm not really sure what was occurring in that scene before the credits.
