What kills me is that Rick's pro-strats for Roy start with burning up his social security card. And the aliens who are all amazed and impressed by the gambit. And the image of Roy running through the backwoods at night, gleefully torching his personal information beneath a full moon. loving slays me.

I can only imagine the glories Rick took Roy to after that fateful night under the full moon. I'm betting it involved alcoholism and armed robbery.

Meta-Mollusk posted:Ren & Stimpy got pretty lovely after the second season, but I have to admit that "I Love Chicken" from season 4 is still one of my favorite episodes. I guess there were some other gems there as well, but that's the first one that comes to mind. imo ren and stimpy got way better after john k got canned.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Gazorpazorpfield was probably made by Morty's son in another dimension, just like his mentor Brad Anderson did with Marmaduke.

If you're an alien playing Roy, is that like us playing something like Skyrim? Navigating this crazy fantasy world with it's own unique cultures.

JazzFlight posted:It's likely a reference to the idea that our entire lives might just be a simulation of an advanced civilization. Also a probable reference to the Star Trek: TNG episode, The Inner Light, which was also parodied in the Adventure Time episode, Puhoy. Puhoy is a very close retelling of a Hindu parable. http://www.michaelppowers.com/wisdom/maya.htm I suspect that the episode of TNG was also inspired by it.

Is there ever another point in the series where Picard says "Thanks to my 50 years of experience living on an alien farm I have some sort of useful knowledge or skill for this situation!" Cause it seems like you could get Roy a PHD in a different discipline every time you play and get decades of learning done in a few seconds.

Sort of. He retained the knowledge of how to play an alien flute which he periodically played throughout the rest of the series, though mostly only to himself in his private time. He never demonstrated any practical skills or knowledge picked up from that time.

Usually in these kinds of "living an entire lifetime in a few moments" situations you only retain vague dreamlike memories of what transpired, if you even remember anything at all.

The episode "Lessons" was about this. The long and short of it is he used his flute skills to score with a piano player.

I talked to the guy that wrote the TNG episode when I was in a TV writing class in college and the original pitch was that Picard would get brainjacked by the advertising satellite of a long dead civilization. The producers told him they liked the idea but wanted something less commercial and more, uh, star-trekky so he changed it. From what he told me I doubt he was inspired by that story. Funnily enough the advertising satellite sounds like a good Rick and Morty idea.

I don't know, even the title of this episode, Inner Light, is somewhat related to the concept of Maya. See verses 9 and 10 here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/sbe15/sbe15075.htm Maybe the author wanted to give the story an interesting spin, but ended up retelling it closer to the original. I think it's very unlikely it's just a coincidence.

I rewatched the pilot, and the pre-credits sequence ends with Rick unconscious and some neutrino bomb powering up and about to explode? Which is a scene we saw a lot in The Simpsons, characters apparently dying or almost dying just before we cut away, for comic effect? And we assume they get rescued or escaped somehow, because that's the usual way to read that scene? I just realised that there's an even chance that was just a parallel universe Rick and Morty, the bomb went off and they died. The rest of the show focuses on a totally unrelated Rick and Morty. So basically I like that for this show they say "Don't think about it!" not for the usual reason but because thinking about it makes it all even worse.

Going from S2 Rick's personality, I don't think he'd take Morty with him in his suicide, but I think S1E01 Rick is a bit closer to "lick my balls morty" enough to kill Morty maybe.

There's also the bit in the pilot where they are attacked by a monster right when they reach the megaseeds planet, as Rick is giving his inspirational show-pitch speech to Morty. It cuts to commercial with Rick shouting that they're going to die and comes back with them just walking along peacefully. So they probably died in that universe as well and we're watching another version of them.
