Some great episodes, a few fillers, mostly good high quality Rick and Morty slop. Episode with Rick killing his nemesis is obviously the high water mark of the season. I don't even notice the voice differences anymore and it's just Rick and Morty as normal.
Also, did Dennys pay for being in the show as some in show marketing, if so, they promoted the hell out of their food, but shit all over the locations. I have no idea if I was th Dennys marketing team if i am happy or sad or fired.
How many lives has Morty lived. Does the entire planet count - does he remember those?
Morty doesn't remember being every person in Roy, I'm pretty sure, and every part of him that mistrusted Rick stayed in the game.
I've seen some people point this out as plot hole or character issue with Morty going forward. Aside from the MST3K response of "just don't think about it", Morty's old quasi-Jewish dad Morty goes along with it despite not really believing. So there's a good chance a lot of those Mortys don't implicitly or deeply trust Rick but they were willing to go along with it for other reasons. Or they were won over to the one idea of taking ships out without needing to trust every word Rick says. Then there's the weirdness of Mortys who didn't exist during the Morty fracture.
I think some of the detoxifying or mindbenders or vat of acid or other events in Morty's life would be more likely to cause a change than the Roy Die Hard issue.
I think one of my favourite canon episodes is when they get split into their 'good' and 'evil' selves and it turns out Rick considers his compassion for Morty an 'evil' weakness but it's very strong. I thought that was a clever episode to show that Rick is just a complicated, messed up individual but not a complete PoS and also that Morty is...very messed up (removing his 'weaknesses' turns him into a creepy Jordan Belfort character).
Rest and Ricklaxation from season 3, and yeah, that's a fantastic episode that gives a window into their fucked up minds.
(Also, I love the screaming delivery of "WE'RE WHAT GOT REMOVED!!!")
Pretty sure canonically Rick's timeline makes no sense now, you just have to roll with it. For example Rick goes on about making Froopyland for Beth but Rick's Beth was killed when very young and besides his Beth & Diane seem to be normal. Even if every other Rick does it (disturbing) he wouldn't know the details.
We know from Birdperson Rick fought the Feds when young, leading to Blood Ridge. Except our Rick couldn't have done that - as soon as he has portal travel he chases after Prime until old and broken and builds the Citadel and crashes on Beth Prime.
You just have to roll with very elastic continuity because they keep retconning it.
I think you're taking the montages too literally; there's no reason to think there isn't time in-between the scenes. Him fighting against the galaxy with Birdperson (which we see a shot of during the montage, by the by) and him being a broken down dude could have decades between them. In fact, losing bird person is likely why he went from a freedom fighter to a broken down husk.
Yeah the whole show is Exhibit A demonstrating that Rick is willing and able to just like drop into another Rick’s life and be that guy for a while, either as part of trap to try and catch Prime or just for his own devices. No reason he couldn’t have spent a couple years raising a child Beth in some other timeline and built her a froopyland or whatever.
Alternately we’re also shown that he spent a lot of time around a lot of Ricks when he was putting the citadel together - I can pretty easily picture a conference room full of Ricks drinking and swapping stories about their respective versions of their fucked-up daughter, probably while they’re supposed to be doing something important.
I think it’d be pretty tough to clearly ‘break’ Rick’s continuity, just by dint of the fact that the nature of portal travel gives him ample opportunity to experience and observe mutually contradictory events in an arbitrary order. He just knows things, by means and for reasons that are incomprehensible to normal people. He’s like a demon, or a really fucked-up god.
Also Rick has weird opinions on how he views other Ricks; simultaneously with contempt but also accepting the fact that they are all him in some fashion.

Rick's Beth was old enough to need a froopyland. There is no continuity problem there unless you decide arbitrarily that his Beth must be normal because she seemed fine for the two minutes we saw her.
We see Rick joining up with Birdperson during the montage you referenced. What's supposed to be inconsistent there? At some point the trail went dead and he briefly did a star wars until having a falling out with Birdperson and getting back on track.

A bit random, but I actually had a dream about Rick & Morty last night. My brain spontaneously came up with a new episode of inter-dimensional cable. Morty went off on an adventure on his own after a row with Rick, and ended up trapped inside the guts of a part-biological part-cybernetic creature capable of creating portals inside and outside of it's own massive gross slimy body. The creature was about the size of one of the sand-worms from 'Dune'. And then there was some stuff about Rick holding the Gom-Jabber to Morty's neck, but the rest of the dream feels a bit vague after that.
Anyhow, do we have a date for when the anime airs yet? I am obviously craving some new episodes.

Was that a sly reference to Rick Prime?

which comes into play like two episodes later.

That looks...really fun, actually.
Just a completely different take on the material.
