I saw Lawnmower Dog and fell in love right there. I agree it was a lot better then the first episode, but the pilot still had it's moments. Mainly the whole dimensional airport scene and anything related to the frozen bully. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to say "It sure was weird how in the first episode Rick belched so much more then usual and didn't get along with Morty nearly as well". A nice little moment I love is how Rick puts Morty to sleep and lets him land on the floor, then gets comfortable on the beanbag to put himself to sleep.

Android Blues posted:Well, he also has a firm belief that school is no good for you and rots your brain, so although he does seem amoral in other ways, he seems to see keeping Morty out of school as doing him a genuine favour. He also could have been just saying that to convince Morty and/or his parents, though. muscles like this? posted:I think my absolute favorite part of the episode has to be the idea that the whole dream thing happened because Morty got Rick to watch Inception. Rick hated it so much that he invents a dream entering machine just to show Morty how stupid the whole thing is. "If that's confusing, well, so is everyone's favorite movie."

Last Chance posted:Yeah I don't think his age/mental age are going to be very sturdy things. In the first episode, his class was doing simple addition tables during math class.. That doesn't necessarily mean he's younger then fourteen. There are plenty of classes for people who are bad at math, and stuff like that sounds par the course, along with things like simple fractions, multiplication, and sometimes division. I am, in fact, typing this message from one such class(and I'm older then Morty). Him being in a specialized class like that would be consistent with Morty missing so much learning because of Rick.

Typical posted:The network cares and does censor things. They usually send us back notes on some of the production art if they wanted it to be changed. For instance. they didn't want too too much gore, I had to re-color an alien intestine pink because they didn't want it to look too real. An alien intestine has to be pink, but the ending of Anatomy Park was allowed?

JT Jag posted:I just have one question about the last episode. When Rick froze the simulation, how did Sim-Morty remain uneffected? I'm guessing that the aliens just dedicated pretty much the entirety of the simulation's memory to Morty, which is why the rest of the sim was so lovely. The rest of the simulation wasn't so lovely though. They never left the simulation until the very end, and it was never really frozen to begin with.

The episode was really all about that in the end. It's a neat little detail that the "no..." only comes when he saw it Morty flickering, foreshadowing that he knew they were still in the simulation and had them beat, but he was still devastated because the the person he cared about and trusted as his best friend subverted his trust.

Disconnecticus posted:I'm pretty sure on a rewatch that Rick was aware of what was going on all along. The "oh no" was only acting for the sake of making sure they believed he bought into it. The very start of the episode was Rick complaining about Marty being a simulation. That's because he expected Morty to be a simulation, but then realized he was different then all the other inhabitants of the first layer, who were all very robotic.

Tokubetsu posted:I don't hate any of the characters but Jerry has pushed it. The Meseeks stuff was unbearable. He's just so awful and sad at everything I actually found myself wanting the Meseeks to murder him. I was also this way, but less out of hatred for Jerry and more out of sympathy and pity for the poor Meseeks. This episode redeemed him just a little. It shows, at least, that the potential is there.

I figured that they can't die without fulfilling their task, and the extreme pain and suffering existence brings them is the proverbial fire under their asses to motivate them to do their tasks and do it as well as they can.

More people could sign up. First, it's just the trolls of the internet by likelyhood to tell someone to commit suicide, but soon everything falls to a horrible, bloody, blue onslaught as a horde of Meeseeks tear across the world, until Jonas Albrecht is the only remaining person left alive. One by one the Meeseeks die, until there is only one left. "You know, what if you tell yourself to kill yourself? I'm a stickler Meeseeks!"

While watching it, I kept thinking the entire time that "still good, not nearly as good as the others" would be the reaction from a lot of people, and me included. I watched it with my dad and I was a little disappointing that was the one he was introduced to the show on, but he laughed a few times and seemed to like it.

Air is lava! posted:Mortys parents seem to be even bigger assholes than Rick. How is that even possible? At least with him you feel something like genuine affection. I hope there will be an episode which showcases the relation between Morty and his parents a little bit more. It seems realy cold and practical right now. Beth did try to comfort Morty at the end, at least.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Summers has such strange, almost whimsical, sense of morality. She’s willing to help The Devil himself as long as he’s nice to her and treats her with respect. She refused to deprive Snuffles of sentience even though he was clearly dangerous because that would be “Indian giving”. She’s clearly has a strong desire to do the right thing, but her idea of what’s right doesn't quite match what’s socially acceptable. She also beat up bullies and homophobes though, so I'd say she has some strong sense of morals. She probably justified the Devil to herself as the items teaching lessons.

My problem with the pilot was that it seemed like Rick was way more of an rear end in a top hat who was possibly losing his mind. Still love the "Rick and Morty for a hundred years" rant though.

Space T Rex posted:Based on Rick's use of the words "dimension" and "universe(s)", it seems that there are infinite universes, making up the multiverse; but then seemingly also multiple (infinite?) multiverses, each of which he calls a separate dimension. I speculate this just because it is how I am imagining him to use the words, with very little context. But makes sense to me. Don't think about it. From the way they say "Earth dimension [numbers and letters]", I think individual dimensions make up the multiverse.

Wierdo Rick is slightly more evil then our Rick/the Rick that Robo tRick thought he was, and slightly less evil then Robot Rick. I'm starting to think the Rick in the titles aren't really theme naming so much as how the people involved in the production started talking after continued discussion of this episode, and they didn't notice till it was too late that they slipped the word into everything.
