Jesus Christ this episode of R&M is going as dark as a lot of you have said.
Also, how have so many people here already seen this episode?
Edit: Wow, that pre-credits ending. That feels darker than anything from season 1 because it feels more personal. The post-credits scene made the episode feel better on the whole. Everything's still rolling on.

That was just WOW. I mean Rick is messed up, but like you say, it felt a lot more personal. The whole family is mad at him, he was just rejected by maybe the only species he really liked, just seriously down. It felt real that he tried to end it, the way he is so up and down, manic and all that.
The end of Rick Potion #9 was a little oversold for me. I had a much stronger reaction to the end of Bojack Horseman's "Escape from LA"
I don't know what other people have said about it
I meant just the horror of what happened. I can't think of any show that matches the sheer magnitude of killing the entire world across multiple dimensions without undoing it by the end of the episode.
Eh. 7 billion horrifically mutated in a fate worse than death, that's just statistics. The real hammer there was at the end.
"I'll bury my body and you can do yours. That seems fair, Morty. That seems like a fair way to divvy it up."
Even with all he'd done and seen already, you could see how that moment broke Morty.
I'd say the episode this weekend was a touch less dark, but yeah. It went places. This show, man. This show.
I'm not sure if I've just already read or watched enough weird/horrible stuff to desensitize me to it, or if the particular style of animation and acting just made it all seem so silly, but R&M didn't really have any affect on me. And yeah, the episodes I watched were the ones everyone always brings up. I just kinda shrugged at them. I don't get the love or intense reactions at all.
The True Detective finale was great until it wasn't, which was the entire last half hour
That ending really soured me on it
Where I'd say I land on the season as a whole, as if anybody cares and this isn't just an exercise for myself:
"The Western Book of the Dead" (1/5)
"Night Finds You" (2/5)
"Maybe Tomorrow" (4/5)
"Down Will Come" (1/5)
"Other Lives" (3/5)
"Church In Ruins" (2/5)
"Black Maps And Motel Rooms" (3/5)
"Omega Station" (2/5)
Overall (2/5)

Watched the first 4 episodes of Agents of SHIELD on Netflix today. I'm not sure why this show got such a bad rap early on. It is certainly episodic, which may not have been what people were looking for. But other than that, it seems fine. It feels a lot like Fringe to me. Government team trying to corral runaway technology. Suits, guns, a bit of body horror and sci-fi weirdness.
The first 10 or so episodes of AoS are the "worst" of the series (whether or not people actually disliked them), so if you enjoyed them, the subsequent season and a half will blow your socks off.
I'm watching Twin Peaks again, and I'm pretty sure I'm well into the dumb part, but I'm still enjoying it. We'll see if that lasts.
I also finished watching this season of True Detective, which I didn't really care for.
It's pretty clear that Nic Puzzlepotato has some ideas about masculinity that are always going to rub me the wrong way. I don't think I could explain it clearly, but Velcoro's whole storyline bothered me.
Beyond that, I think he felt like people only liked the last season because of it's gimmicks, and he wanted to do a season without any bullshit to, like, test us. But his writing doesn't really work without that stuff, in my opinion. For one thing, some of the dialog is so weird, it doesn't really work in a less weird show.
Also, this might just mean I'm dead inside, but the shot of the phone failing to upload the recording made me laugh for like a minute straight.
True Detective season 2 could've been a great story if it could have taken a step back from how gritty it is for one second and focused on telling a coherent tale. The plot is a good one. But fuck trying to follow it through the 3-foot thick wall of solid cigarette smoke and whiskey. You can do noir without making a parody of it.
I'm sure its been said, but on this weeks episode of Rick and Morty did anyone else notice
The show Unity created for Rick was Community. It was the cast of Community as blue people around the study room table. And the things Rick told them to do were things that happened in/to community.

yup, it's definitely perfectly fine.
Put on this song and look around the room and watch bleakness wash over the faces of those who've seen it.
That's actually from last season's Rick Potion #9
Last night's song is this one:
I meant I played it last night for people, my fault on my wording though now that I read it.
I am...going to wait on those

Somebody telling one of the Gargoyles something right before the sun comes up, and them turning into stone mid-reaction.
Elisa: Maybe we'll catch a Giants' game.
Goliath: Giants!? /stoneface
I miss Gargoyles. I'm assuming it's probably not on Netflix?
it should all be up on youtube
That was the flask edition of Justified, yes? Isn't there a standard edition?

Oh well, hopefully I'll like the next one better.

This weeks Rick and Morty is messed up as hell
People fucking love crime shows that heavily focus on depravity, SVU and Criminal Minds are both still very popular.
Plus their production cost has gotta be pretty dang cheap.
Deets in spoilers, please.
What the fuck? My wife stopped watching a while ago so I stopped watching.
