    For an absurdist comedy, that last act of #9 was steep.

    I mean, Rick was right - he just wanted a damn screwdriver, and Morty whined and whined until he was given the rape sauce he wanted so badly. And... the look on his face, while Rick just meanders around as always and grabs a beverage.


    It contextualizes exactly why Rick acts the way he does, and how a person could get to that state... and I empathized with that total monster.


    The writer of this show is good.

    There's some really sick and awesome fridge brilliance going on with the show.

    I'm now wondering if Rick can actually do science at all, or whether he just portals into another dimension constantly to find one where he, against the infinite weight of the odds, has managed to do the right science to figure the problem of the day out. He can stay there if he picks one where Rick (and/or Morty, if he takes Morty with him) also dies (i.e. they cure the Cronenberg experiment, but they coincidentally die in the garage right after), OR he can just go back to his and pick up where he left off - andd infinite universes means this solution is available 100% of the time.

    Like, I'm wondering how many off-screen portals there are now.

    The whole portal-universes reveal (not that other universes exist, but that Rick constantly travels not to visit other words, but to visit other timelines where he hasn't fucked it all up) is like two minutes long, and yet it was just like BOOM KNOWLEDGE BOMB.

    Also: Something is broken inside Morty now, and I'll be disappointed (and surprised, given how good the writing is) if they don't do something with it or at least do a callback to it.

    They don't want to get bogged down in continuity, which is kinda refreshing.

    The way the entire family just kind of rolls with it is probably one of my favorite features.

    I'm really liking Summer's reactions to a lot of the crap going on. You really need a good exclamation to sell the comedy of two Preying mantis reporters arguing about which gets to molest Morty.

    The family bit parts are great.

    "I'm talking about your mom - and that's not an urban diss. Your mom was my Jessica!"

    "Yeah, and you got her pregnant at 17. Could you please not talk about banging my daughter in high school. Don't take advice from this guy Morty, his marriage is hanging by a thread."

    Yeah for some reason I really enjoy Summer, even though she barely does anything

    Judging from the snippets in the opening credits, I'd expect to see summer tag along for one mission.
    there is at least three snippets that were in the episodes so far

    the pilot is an outlier of an episode.

    one of my favorites but the others distance themselves pretty far from it.

    The pilot is good. But it's the second episode where it finds its deranged groove and runs with it. So at least give it to that.

    I found the pilot to be the weakest episode personally, but what does it matter; it's almost criminal how enjoyable this show is considering I'm not too big a fan of Rick's burping myself or other details.

    I loved the later bit most:

    "Well, she's my daughter, Summer. I out-rank you. Or family means nothing, in which case don't play that card."

    My wife made me rewind that part three times, because she couldn't quite make out what he was saying.

    When she finally heard it, she joined me in hysterics.

    That was an amazing piece of dialog.

    Ricks alcoholic burping makes most of his lines 10x funnier.

    "Like my balls Mharti!" Was a catch phrase amongst my old D&D group.

    I'm trying to figure out the burping.

    I *think* it is a way of reinforcing the notion that he is an alcoholic without explicitly showing him drinking. They do not show him taking a drink all that often. It's more burping or alcohol containers falling out of his car.

  • The WolfmanThe Wolfman Registered User regular
    I think the line that gets me is his answer to Morty's question of why his math teacher's dream version of his girlfriend's dream version of a centaur is dreaming of such a scary place.

    "Jeez, I don't know, Morty. Wha-what do you want from me?"

    that Cthulhu episode should be interesting especially since it looks like Rick stole a baby Cthulhu.

    you can see a snippet of it in the intro

  • CokomonCokomon Our butts are worth fighting for! Registered User regular
    It also looks interesting because it looks like Summer actually joins them in an adventure.

    That would provide a different angle on why Rick is always bitter towards Jerry.

    The writer of this show is good.

    There's some really sick and awesome fridge brilliance going on with the show.

    I'm now wondering if Rick can actually do science at all, or whether he just portals into another dimension constantly to find one where he, against the infinite weight of the odds, has managed to do the right science to figure the problem of the day out. He can stay there if he picks one where Rick (and/or Morty, if he takes Morty with him) also dies (i.e. they cure the Cronenberg experiment, but they coincidentally die in the garage right after), OR he can just go back to his and pick up where he left off - andd infinite universes means this solution is available 100% of the time.

    Also: Something is broken inside Morty now, and I'll be disappointed (and surprised, given how good the writing is) if they don't do something with it or at least do a callback to it.

    you mean like, if that event left him a quivering, neurotic mess of a person who can barely interact with other people and is really kind of pathetically easy to manipulate and control?

    I'm shocked that the censors actually let them get away with using the word "9 11" as a verb.

    It's actually a Harmon brand joke. It was used in episode 4 (of season 5) on Community as well.

    My favorite part of Rick and Morty (besides the insane, depraved plot directions it goes in) is the lucid, overcomplicated discussions around ludicrous ideas or situations.

    -The pop-tart & toaster house debacle
    -The ending of the most recent episode and how to divvy up the workload
    -Rick's surprisingly reasonable assertions about why love is terrible
    -The argument over bombing the city earlier on
    etc
