I assumed that Summer was going to leave deathstalker guy when she realised he reminded he of her dad. I thought that was the point of his neurotic monologue anyway.

quote:Even Rick’s struggling a little. I was on the fence after his rant at the end of “The Rickshank Rickdemption,” but having rewatched that episode and this one, it’s more obvious what the show is trying to do with the character—not so much returning him to zero as showing him stuck between caring about his family and being so smart that he knows that every emotional connection is essentially a one-way ticket to Sucksville. Not to get too heavy, but the fact that he acknowledges that he isn’t handling Beth and Jerry’s divorce well (a divorce he caused) reinforces one of the core tensions of the series, that split between “nothing means anything” and being a sentient creature who has to find some sense in the madness. Rick never lets his grandkids forget that they are easily replaceable. He also doesn’t let them just die. It’s a remarkable narrative balance, because the show wouldn’t work if Rick didn’t care about anything, but it also wouldn’t work if he cared in an obvious or easily predictable way. From an AV Club review, I dig this take.

I just re-watched the episode and I think my favorite part is the scene right at the end where that wolf bullies Jerry. I don't want to risk running a great joke into the ground, but I kind of hope rear end in a top hat wolf shows up a few more times this season to hassle Jerry.

I think the only reason this may have felt weak to some is that it wasn't intended to be the "comeback" season premiere. Had we watched Rickshank Redemption last night it would have been a knockout.

I don't really understand how anything in this episode could be construed as fanservice unless you count the, uh, 8 seconds of making out we see? This episode is fun but honestly doesn't immediately stand out as anything special, although I did feel like it was really snappy. Rick & Morty is a tightly written show, and I felt like this episode had a ton of really quick gags, which I think really help the slow gags (Looooooser, Mustache Helmet, etc). Rick & Morty sharing a tender moment drowning a twinkish albino despot in his taint scrubbing tub was a pitch perfect slice of where I think this show is going, an inexplicably dark-yet-endearing moment. One minor thing I REALLY liked about this episode was the scene where Rick injects the muscle memory into Morty and immediately gets clotheslined 10 ft. You see a fraction of Rick's scientific mind at work. He's conducting a field experiment, his hypothesis (Morty will have one arm that becomes good at fighting) wasn't entirely wrong, but he kind of nervously observes "Ok, whoa, we're learning something about muscle memory". I might be a huge nerd for caring, but I really like that slice of Rick's mind, seeing the way he takes getting clobbered by one of his own creations and in real time adds it to the massive Rick-ipedia of his mind. Just excellent subtle delivery by Roiland. I've also been thinking offhand: His full name is Richard Sanchez... or Ricardo Sanchez. Which do you think? rydiafan posted:Sorry in advance if this turns into a creepy derail, but I was a little surprised they went through with the underage character having sex, especially with an adult.

The Summer-Hemorrhage scene is an order of magnitude less graphic than the King Jellybean scene in season 1, and since time seems to be progressing normally in universe and Summer was definitely 16 in S1, she's 18-ish now. Morty is decidedly a minor. Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Jul 31, 2017 |

I don't even think that's bad necessarily but the comparison is spot on.

See also: When buckethead took his bucket off. I disagree, doing something fast paced with the wolf joke wouldn't have been as funny. The gag is that Jerry has a lot of options (run away, kick the wolf, throw his food at the wolf) and somehow manages to talk himself into picking the worst one (give the wolf his unemployment check). And the funniest part is he was right! The wolf actually did want his paycheck. Being spineless and paranoid was the correct choice, because the universe has decided to gently caress him over in whatever way it can.

Yeah, Rick and Morty never goes for an overlong joke. (ignores 100 years Rick and Morty, ignores dipping sauce Rick and Morty, ignores getting your poo poo together, ignores you can run but you can't hide bitch....) It's inevitable. The show hit season three. It's time to play TV IV Season three bingo with squares like "Family Guy humor", "characters are caricatures of what they were", "lazy writing", and "fan pandering."

I even said it wasn't bad, but that it was the same type of humor FG uses. Which is fine since it's once in one episode over the course of the entire series, it's just an observation. Jesus, chill.

Everyone looks the same but it would be cool if the characters actually aged year to year rather than stayed locked-in the same ages for decades like most cartoons. Or not, but it would be something new.
