I liked the intro much better than the previews with the same scene/joke becuase of the way the title cut into the joke. Are you small or far away?? Is this a camera... is everything a camera?????? :3

I think my favorite little detail about the pickle Rick design is that gross little exposed muscle on his left skeleton arm. It was both disgusting and fascinating to watch when he was gesturing in the therapists office, the animators really go the extra mile on things like that

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Exactly. The emotional side of the show is the good part, as well as where most of the really funny stuff comes from. Without it it would just be gross-out humor and violence, which is all well and good but would quickly stop being shocking or novel by itself. Like Scrubs. "Nothing happens for a reason, everybody's gonna die, come watch TV?" is R&M's version of "Where do you think you are?"

General Dog posted:Show, don't tell. The scene last season where he tries to kill himself tells us the same thing the therapist does in a lot more impactful manner. Having a character we don't really know summarize a character's flaws for us (flaws thay we're already intimately familiar with) isn't especially interesting. Show don't tell doesn't mean you don't use dialogue you goober. You completely misunderstood that rule of cinema. Show don't tell means you show elements rather than talking about something that happened. Showing dialogue counts as SHOWING, not telling. Telling would be saying "I had a talk with Rick and he agreed he was being a jerk". If you actually see the conversation happen, that isn't telling. "Show don't tell" doesn't mean avoid dialogue completely. Character development happens primarily through dialogue. You want to avoid gigantic exposition dumps, but they didn't do that so there's no loving problem.

Didn't love this episode. I mean rick taking over a cockroach brain was good and I mean, him killing dudes as a pickle was fun and all, but the therapy scenes seemed pretty canned outside the poop-eating lines. The pickle scenes were a little sparse with jokes too - rick by himself isn't quite the same as him on an adventure with morty or something. Jaguar was great but not featured all that heavily. I find myself not caring about their family's trauma and I'd rather just see them go on wacky adventures, personally. One of the weakest IMO, though not as bad as "show me what you got".

I didn't like the stinger. The version that appears in the intro seems way more tense, like the piano is just playing and they never know when they'll be next. Instead they are just laying there and the guy tells them when they are going to get their heads smashed. It also would have better if all the other people's heads weren't presmashed. Pretty lame overall.

This person is either a teenager or severally stunted both emotionally and mentally. I have no idea how you can listen to what Rick said and then listen to what the therapist said and think "yes, Rick is clearly the rational one in this situation".

I thought it was an important distinction. We got to see Rick cut lose, and it was insanely violent and self-congratulatory. Without Morty around to go "Ah jeez Rick I don't think we should be doing this you know?" that's probably how 99% of Rick's escapades go.

A part of me wonders if the scene with the therapist is Dan Harmon changing his views on therapy. The reason I say this is that he has previously gone on record saying he doesn't believe in things like autism since he thinks it's just trying to make everyone the same and had that be the moral of a series of shorts he once did about imaginary creatures. Perhaps this is unfair to the man, but I wonder how much of what Rick said was what Dan would used to say and how much the return of the therapist was Dan recognizing his own issues.

Y'alls' conversations don't bug me. I don't participate because having people who work on the thing can easily hijack the conversation about the thing in weird ways and that's not really fair or fun. I'm a fan of media too, though, so I understand the cycle of expectation/realization/disappointment/fulfillment as well as loving a thing for one reason and talking with people who love it for other reasons, etc etc. It's really no big deal, I'm just happy people watch the show and I like to show off my work.

I need a refresher but was the show always so violent? I loved both season 1 and 2 and I of course remember hyper violent episodes or use of blood and whatnot but it seems kinda excessive in season 3 so far.

Cronenberg World was also season 1. Season 2 has the purge episode, and according to the episode commentary all the sketches in "Interdimensional Cable 2" ended violently before Dan Harmon stepped in and made Roiland switch things up.

I dunno, I can kinda see the complaint that the show got insanely loving gory out of nowhere. The first two seasons got gory every now and then, but so far out of the three s3 episodes, all three have had at least one moment of really nasty gore; Rickshank Redemption had Rick getting shot in the head, Rickmancing the Stone had Summer splattering Not Immortan Joe and the whole Armothy subplot, and now this episode had Pickle Rick murdering the living loving poo poo out of everything in his path. It's gone from Black Lagoon levels of violence to Hellsing or Superjail levels of violence, basically. (e: I should note that I think this is awesome, not bad, but I mean, it's not like I don't see how others would be put off by it.)

Listening to Harmontown, he's done a 180 on therapy. I'm guessing the divorce was a wake up call.

Also, to be clear, I'm not saying Harmon has the same issues as Rick (I mean, he might, gently caress if I know), but the whole "you use science and knowledge to avoid the reality of your situation and its related problems" sounds like him reconsidering his feelings on therapy.

Yeah I remember the culling episode and cronenberg and all that but there were also episodes like the TV ones and whatnot where it was just dumb jokes or homages to famous singers. Not saying the show is bad or I hated the episodes or whatever, just hoping that they get the hyperviolence outta their systems.
