The X-COM project did not deliver the universe's ultimate cup of coffee. You have failed to save the Earth.

I liked how it felt somewhat less mean than the pilot. Rick and Morty get along a bit better, and the solutions they find to their problems are actually weirdly cool and (sort of?) pacifistic. I was totally expecting the hammer to drop on, "oh, yeah, that dimensional portal actually leads to a gigantic pool of lava, you won't be seeing those guys again", but the show wound up being less cynical and cruel than I expected it to be.

Yeah this is a big part of why I'm liking the show so far. Looking at the cover I assumed Rick would be an insufferable rear end in a top hat, but he ends up being strangely chill. I also assumed Morty would be a Homer Simpson style idiot, but he ends up being really grounded. All of that really helps to make the characters enjoyable instead of aggravating like in a lot of animated comedies.

The focus on that specific scene is strange. You guys are obsessed with rape.

If the show spends like a solid minute brutally depicting a murder in disturbing detail, maybe people will talk about it this much.

I enjoy Rick and Morty a lot, but the B-Plots are always so bad. At least the ones that involve Jerry.

The Jerryboree B-plot was one of the best things in the whole series.
