prefect posted:Or don't revisit something unless you've got a compelling reason. If they think of a top-notch hilarious Meeseeks story, then another Meeseeks episode is fine. But you shouldn't push it trying to recreate something great. Harmon does this thing where he listens to the fans and wants to please them, he really needs to just do whatever he wants, that's what his fans really want. The Whole Internet posted:I can't help but wonder if the B-plot with Jerry's 'moral dilemma' is what's secretly turning people off of the episode. I was surprised to find out seemingly half the people on the internet didn't like it--thought it was the worst episode of the show (clearly they've forgotten about Get Schwifty, or Anatomy Park). For me I'd place it somewhere in the middle for season 2. A tad below "Total Rickall" and "The Ricks Must Be Crazy" but better than last week's episode for sure, and a few others. I'm just curious if getting hung up on having to choose between your penis and billion's of peoples lives is the source for the hate on the internet. I really enjoyed Get Schwifty! This episode just wasn't my favorite, still pretty good though.

I'd give up my penis for a worthy cause, the replacement penis gun is the cherry on top.

This episode was much funnier on the second watchthrough. I now declare it an Official Good Episode.

good episode, only thing I think I would have enjoyed a bit more is if Jerry actually was dead and replaced by another Jerry. I feel like a big reason I enjoy the show is the fact they really gently caress with stuff that you normally wouldn't, e.g. de-cronenburging. overall though can't complain, pretty enjoyable

Fixing jerry made sense, they were in a advanced alien hospital. I bought it. I knew it was either they could fix him or just replace him.

ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:This episode was much funnier on the second watchthrough. I now declare it an Official Good Episode.  Same thing happened with Rixity Minutes, people were very divisive about it at first, then after a rewatch or two most were cool with it. I think this episode has more people hating on it because of built up expectations, and I also suspect it was maybe partially tanked because Roiland or the team in general just don't want to do another one. Guy A. Person posted:We already may have an alternate Jerry after they picked him up from Jerryboree That still depends on if the second Rick was asking about the Jerry or the ticket. If he was asking if they had that ticket (I forget the number), then they got the right Jerry since a freeze frame reveals that their ticket did match whatever number second Rick said. If he's asking about the Jerry and for whatever reason second Morty has that ticket, then Jerrys got swapped and no one cares. Overall it doesn't matter.

I was thinking that until the doctor was encouraging him to use his dick one last time. Side note I loved the doctor constantly referring to everything as an "alien whatever" then clarifying that most items were actually native to that planet.

I got the sense that Ricks line " a sequal, I don't understand it either, we pretty much nailed the first time" was Harmon and Roiland putting their own disclaimer that they are just doing it because they were required?

I had serious reservations about Get Schwifty because I generally hate music episodes, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Anatomy Park was uneven and benefited from the novelty of the show, but holds up on repeated viewings. The B-plot of this episode about Jerry's dick was also uneven, but paid off with the Werner Herzog speech and the ending. Honestly, the improv just loving killed the rest of the episode. There was no point during the random interdimensional TV stuff that I wasn't wondering how the hell anyone thought that stuff was funny. I don't think it's the death knell of the show or anything, just a out of place stinker and an indication that the showrunners should avoid patting themselves on the back too much. Unfortunately, since everyone else on the internet seemed to love this episode , including AV Club, I'm sure we'll be getting another iteration or two in the seasons to come.

B plot was surprisingly on point. There's a semi-interesting feminist analysis that could be done but I don't think people in this thread would really care.

I thought the symmetry of Jerry's dick and balls are why it was the perfect match for an alien heart?

I think the episode would have been better if they'd just gone ahead and cut off Jerry's dick. Killing Jerry but not really, back to status quo is kind of weak for R&M.
