Our first blender has an extra long cord and was manufactured before safety fuses  Is Beth going to gently caress herself? Beth is going to gently caress herself, isn't she  I'm feeling the realistic FF7 Buster Sword  San Junipero callout,  loving loving that Rick said 'deus ex husbanda' instead of 'husband ex machina'. Literal laugh out loud when they smash cut downstairs to the kids listening to that conversation. Thread response is nuts, this is a good fuckin' R&M episode. TerminalRaptor posted:I will admit, I did get a belly laugh when they cut back to the kids during the bedroom scene.  It's like in that courtroom transcript reading where right in the middle of the judge and defendant screaming profanities at each other they cut to a drawing of the court recorder with a 1000 yard stare.

Jesus, can Rick not invent a soundproof dome or something, that's like 1960s sci fi. Did he just want his grandkids to suffer?

Literal lols for me as well from the quick cuts to Morty taking out the trash and Summer at the dinner table. Jerry had some great moments. Retreading through his insecurities and their marriage turmoils could've felt like a regression of their character arcs, but it played out smartly. The game console's famous realism being about the mundaneness of real life (or real life in a vampire world) rather than mind-blowing graphics was solid. Very strong episode overall. Morty being thankful for the Discovery Channel was rather jarring though.

Was the implication at the end w/ Rick putting away that wine while also destroying the controller for it is that it's a horny potion or something that he left out so what happened happens and their marriage dissolves?

Rick saying he will get high and play video games is the absolutely correct response to this situation. I do appreciate that they really want to escape reality for a while, but every game they play is trying to be super realistic for the most part. This is all starting to give me later season Simpsons vibes. How many marriage issues can these two (three?) go through before I just start skipping these episodes?

The marriage B-plots are not my favorite, but we see waaaay fewer of them these days. Seasons one and two had marriage B-plots almost every other episode.

I thought it was more Rick (who all episode had been saying 'I don't care I'm not affected by this') having a delayed version of the same reaction Morty and Summer did. e: also starting to think we're going to get teased with 'I'll fix the portal gun next week' all season.

Hah, I was thinking of this too. Peak realism that the bus has lovely alignment and constantly pulls to the right, so you're constantly having to steer even on straightaways. This was a fun episode but felt like missed opportunities with the B-plot. Interdimensional GamePass could have been way more exciting and random, but I felt like the games we saw were pretty tame compared to the off-the-wall insanity of Interdimensional Cable. The World Inferno posted:Was the implication at the end w/ Rick putting away that wine while also destroying the controller for it is that it's a horny potion or something that he left out so what happened happens and their marriage dissolves? I wondered about this too, but there are other bottles in there too, and I thought one of the Beths had a line about how she knew the other Beth would like that particular kind of wine. I dunno!

I think it was more the cliche, "bad things happen every time we drink this specific drink" (Do you have a friend who refuses to drink tequila for that reason?) so we're just going to hide it and never drink it again. You'll notice there was the Meeseeks box in there as well.

He's big on reality TV and possibly only wanted the merger so he could take control of CNN as he's also a Trumpian. Cartoons are some of the hardest hit of the projects he's killed, including pulling a bunch of finished series just so he doesn't have to pay residials.

Season 4 had a quick turnaround with a line about COVID though, so it might be possible with a last minute edit. It really depends on what their production process is like.

Yeah, I'm assuming it was just a "Never drinking X again" joke. Also how quickly Morty forgot that vampires are real. The no more Dr. Ackulas policy really worked.
