I actually prefer how they wrote Morty in this episode. Otherwise he's just a more panicky version of Fry.

Nice ending, but couldn't they have just gone to an AU where the cure worked and everyone lived, and just took the cure back with them?

Rick would probably deem that to be pointless busywork when they're already in a perfectly good universe.

Anyone curious about the song at the end, it's "Look On Down From The Bridge" by Mazzy Star.

How is this thread not blowing up? (Pun intended.) This is my new favorite show. This episode was incredible on so many levels, I can't believe it. Jesus was the ending dark... and I was laughing the whole time.

Dan Harmon is a pretty divisive figure around these parts, so I'd imagine a lot of people are hesitant to give another show he's attached to a shot. Plus new Adult Swim shows are easy to miss out on unless you already watch a lot of Adult Swim/the other cable networks they advertise on.

Morel Orel creator Dino Stamatopoulos is a good friend of Dan Harmon's and is a producer/writer/recurring actor on Community, so Rick and Morty having a similar feel isn't too crazy.

Haha, I'm on my second viewing and I didn't notice before how after pouting off from the kitchen, Summer stomps into the living room and in front of the TV needlessly (to get Rick and Morty's attention) before going to her room. The animators are great with the little touches.

Yeah most or all of the TV segments are ad-libbed. He starts cracking up towards the end of a few of them.

I didn't notice before that Joffrey appears to be taller than the non-Tyrion adults. Is this just a camera perspective thing, or do people in this universe get shorter as they age?

He's a grandpa. An extremely eccentric one sure, but he cares for his family (...in some weird capacity I guess), except maybe his son in law.

Look, if you're living in a reality where there's no new episode tonight, just configure your cable box to look for shows from other universes. Quit whining, you bunch of Jerrys.

socialsecurity posted:

There are so few Summer because they were going to abort her, maybe if they do there are timelines where they still stay together and have Morties.

I'd say it's more that there are relatively few Summers and Mortys in existence, but in a seemingly infinite multiverse, that's still a lot of Summers and Mortys.

And in most of those realities the Smiths have a lot of Family Game Nights apparently.

The council probably doesn't count Ricks without Mortys as real Ricks. Why? Because Doofus Rick, that's why.
