I don't care how badass a Jerry becomes, there's no way he is taking down any Rick (including doofus Rick)

Also if they are anything like any other version of Rick and Morty, the answer is that they are probably off adventuring and not just chilling around the house

I hated that joke because Rick and Morty is generally very fast paced and snappy, but Jerry just stood there like a moron explaining the joke to us for a long time. See also: When buckethead took his bucket off.


I wasnt a big fan of the episode in general and this is why, I think this is also the reason why someone said "Why did this feel like a family guy episode" earlier in the thread

I liked the episode but yeah the Buckethead joke was 100% Family Guy once it went past a certain point (i.e. the first 5 secons). I don't even think that's bad necessarily but the comparison is spot on.

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.

The therapist casually tearing down Rick and then ending the session because time was up and asking for poo poo-eater referrals was the best part of the episode. Even if you didn't like the other parts without PR, that is still a weird and dumb thing to cut.

What if I just wanna watch pickle Rick gently caress up Some rats?

That's fine too, I watched the rough cut of that probably a dozen times before the episode.

It's just weird to leave in PR in the therapist office but (badly) cut out most of the dialogue. The action parts are at least still entertaining out of context, watching one side of a conversation is dumb, it's not like there's even a ton of quotable stuff there.

What I liked especially about the therapist scene was how casual she was about it. People were saying she understood Rick without ever having met him and I don't entirely agree, I think a lot of her answer was a (really well thought out) stock response to someone saying "I don't need therapy because I'm smart/successful and you have an office in a strip mall" with a little bit of what she learned about him over the previous hour peppered in. Then when she was done and the hour was up she offered to continue the following week and asked for a referral for any poop eaters they might know and peaced out.

She also never rose to either Rick or Beth's bait and the only time she wasn't totally calm was when she was explaining to Morty that "we don't judge" when he discovered the poop eating book.

Nah, if what she's saying isn't actually incisive it removes all the consequences of his ignoring the opportunity to better himself.

Oh, not saying it wasn't incisive. Just that the whole point of the speech is "therapy is about basic maintenance and it's boring and hard work", and I am sure she has had to give some form of that speech before. I don't think it was unique to Rick, though the "it's not an adventure that you can screw up so bad you die" was.

I dunno, I saw the premiere at a bar, and it aired (or streamed) at 930. Not 12am.

Or maybe it streams earlier than it airs on TV.

Sounds like you're west coast? It's airing normally in central at least (11:30 est/10:30 cst). I'd say it was getting preempted for something but that's usually network tv.

I didn't like this speech when it aired because it felt a little too "Justin Roiland hijacking the character to rant about his own pet peeves" but given the events of the last 10 months leading up to this past weekend I think it's even more hilariously naive. "The public giving a poo poo about your feelings is a one way ticket to extinction" indeed.

Think people might be confusing this with the LOST writers throwing a hissy fit that everyone and their mother guessed 'oh they're in purgatory'' and completely changing up what they were doing. For the worst lmao

I mean, the totally weird thing is - from an allegorical standpoint - it totally still was purgatory anyway. It's their weird place between life and death where these troubled people went to atone for their sins. You don't need to literally have Jesus or whoever show up and say "woooooh you guys were in purgatory all alllooonnngg" for it to be functionally the same thing.

Except that means in today's climate the more extreme elements will make EVERRYYYYYYTHIINNNNNNNNNNNG "transphobic." Not sure if you've bothered looking around at all the bullshit lately but literally no matter what you do, the alt-left will call you alt-right or the alt-right will call you alt-left, and they will come in droves. Terms like "micro aggression" laughed around here are TAKEN SERIOUSLY by a lot of real world idiots, in particular in college.

It sucks but people have gotten too sensitive about every single issue, on every single side and act like the motherfucking world is going to explode if they hear something they don't like.

That used to be kind of a bullshit thing to say, but honestly things have gone to such ludicrous extremes lately, it's not really untrue anymore. To be honest the fringe left seems to have adapted the tactics of the fringe right just with different ideals. I hate censorship and I hate people who prefer twitter/blog lynch mobs over dialogue and frankly it's why nobody talks to the "other side" anymore.

It's getting way, way too faction-ish and if you can't see that happening I don't know what to tell you.

ED: I really do mean both sides. We've reached peak extremist insanity from all philosophies.

Actually, no. One side has pushed things to such an extreme that they've literally caused Nazism to resurface in a public and widespread way. The people lashing out violently against this are maybe short sighted but they're not "just as bad" .

Detox Rick is at best polite. He apologizes for putting his family in danger, as if he had committed some sort of social faux pas, and then is entirely neutral about the idea of doing anything further to stop his alternate self from destroying the world (and incidentally his family). He considers the fate of the world to be an "irrational attachment" too.

I was going to make the same point. Detoxed Rick seems to say the right things in a calm and polite way but that doesn't mean he actually cares about things.

Like I'm sure it is both. I'm sure they're dedicated fans and hey, they do theme bars so why not do a theme bar of a thing they like? As long as they have to be making money to pay the rent, why not involve something you're a fan of?

A bunch of the poo poo they say in it is either naive or else they assume the fanbase is equally naive enough to buy it. Like the whole "so much for freedom of speech" thing or the laughable "we were totally going to donate to charity just to keep this going for the fans and our poor employees, scouts honor" statement. Either way, I don't think this is a good strategy for them if they want to get other brands to cooperate.
