The ship was great. Its armory reminded me a lot of when the Iron Giant went into kill mode, and its ability to manipulate people reminded me a lot of the Concierge from Eden of the East. A great combo that would be terrifyingly unstoppable.

I hope we get to see the car unleash its full destructive power at some point in the future.

that space ship is quite deadly.

this is a little nitpicky, but I think the ship is more fun as a piece of junk made out of literal garbage and not GlaDOS: the ship. Not criticizing the designs, of course, just the decision.

there's a difference between something rick made himself and something he paid for. What he chooses to spend his flerbos on is really up to him.

Rick would spend flerbos on weapons for his ship instead of fractal dust and blips and chitz?

Is this the first time we've seen them take the spaceship to another dimension?

Or did they just borrow/steal that dimension's Rick's spaceship?

Does Rick Potion #9 count?

Also, I just noticed that the music that plays when Rick drops Jerry off at the beginning of Morty-night Run is the 'human music' from his simulation.

This whole episode is a very Rick thing to do, because if he wasn't so amoral and lazy he could have used the microverse for power without involving the natives at all by just building some solar panels around their star or something.

if you could control a microverse to the point that you can accelerate time why can't you just magic up dyson spheres around all the stars

Rick is a lazy fucker and a dyson sphere is too much effort compared to seeding a universe and exploiting them.

Rick is an insane genius but he's also a shortsighted moron and never puts in more than the bare minimum of work required to do something, which is why he always goes on adventures to fix his perpetual gently caress ups.

Yeah, Rick is very smart but he's also a lazy amoral tool. As mentioned, he's the kind of person who would destroy an entire populated universe just to get a momentary advantage in a foot chase, so if there was a more humane option for generating power it a) probably wouldn't have even occurred to him and b) it taking even thirty seconds longer to execute would probably have clinched the deal for going with the "slavery, but more steps" plan.

I knew Stephen Colbert was a voice in this episode, but I had no idea Nathan Fielder was as well until the final credits. Was he the universe-in-a-universe-in-a-universe version of Rick that killed himself?

That was a hell of an episode. Between the melting ghost child, the miniverse destroyed as a distraction and the blatantly enslaved planet at the end, I think this might have been the most hosed-up episode of the show yet.

It's great fun to go through all those old videos and find the germs of ideas that later turned into R&M gags/storylines.

This Harmontown clip has me thinking that the "Auto Erotic Assimilation" episode was Dan's version of a hosed up RomCom. He really really loving hates RomComs :v:

They might have been made by Rick, I mean that gun he made for Krombopulous Michael was very swish looking, but he could also have just stolen that stuff from abandoned alien ships or just aliens he crossed and decided to loot from while leaving. I mean a couple of those guns look like they're just connected to very awkward looking metal plates and hinges. I agree though, being totally made of garbage is more fun.

Eh, I don't get that vibe from that episode really. Not just because Rick and Unity actually hook up pretty quick in the episode, with no strings attached (the point being that they used to date already, this was just an old flame thing and why it didn't and can't work). Also because the chief person for 'writing' in the credits is Ryan Ridley as opposed to Harmon.

Funny clip of Harmon going off the rails, tho.

This and considering Rick is probably an arms dealer for other people besides KM, it doesn't hurt to be flying around advertising his wares. The guns on his car could be like floor models of stuff he sells separately..

Frankly I think it's more in theme if your R+M costume looks like you threw it together out of random trash.
