Toxxupation posted:I wonder if I'm cooler on ep 2 because I had already seen the season previews and thus the best scene in that episode about fifty times beforehand For me, yes. Episode 1 was fun, but I wish they had done more with the premise, like more variations. For how balls to the walls insane the show usually is, the episode was surprisingly straight forward.

I preferred the second episode, but have to admit that getting that one part spoiled did slightly lessen the impact. Time to rewatch them with some friends and see how hard we will piss our pants.

See to me ep 1 was classic RaM expansion and expansion of an initial premise until it got insane wringing every single last gasp of comedy out of it

I preferred the first episode (although they were both goddamn fantastic) and went into both blind. Btw do we know who played the time guy in the premiere? Thought that was Clement as Fart

The best thing about the leaked episodes is the way they incorporate the old season into the new. It shows they still have a wealth of new ideas to explore, but that there's a tight continuity underneath. A lot of the first season felt like each episode was just totally independent from another, whereas the late season had some good callbacks and set up potential stories for a later date.

I love how this show is perfectly willing to just go nuts with any concept. Quantum uncertainty, alternate timelines/dimensions, 4th dimensional aliens are all just things that are going to happen and you better keep up.

It's just ten, so it's actually shorter than season one which was eleven episodes (ten plus the pilot) The overall tone and style of the show's humor comes across as very Justin Roiland-y (he does voice the two main characters after all) but the whole split-screen gimmick was distinctly Dan Harmon-y and that's why I love seeing them work together.

I know Rick says there are an 'infinite' number of alternate dimensions, but I'd like to see them explore the idea that the not-so-infinite number of 'good' dimensions are running out. Think about it: An infinite number of Rick and Mortys doing dumb poo poo that requires them to take the place of a 'fresh' universe. Eventually the number of virgin universes are going to start to decline, just like Peak Oil. So it will be Peak Dimension- the point in which the number of viable, cost-effective to exploit dimensions starts to decline. Keep in mind its not just our Rick and Morty that are relying on a fresh restart to fix their problems; who knows how many other Rick and Mortys are pulling the same stunt!

If they are ever gonna hit 100 and get syndicated, they are going to need to pump out more than 10 a year. More like 20. Doubt they can maintain quality at 20, though. In other words, this will never make it to 100 so episode 1 was wishing thinking.

They should just make episode 100 anyway.

With the sheer amount of potential, the ability to come up with weird ideas, and their apparent desire to do some serious world building, they can make it to 100 episodes even with 10ish episodes a season I think. But if this season does well, they could bump it up and I don't know why you assume doom and gloom should there be a larger order. Adult Swim shows have a strangely long lifespan and this has been the best one ever imo. CelticPredator posted:They should just make episode 100 anyway. I'd love this.

I think that's really giving the show and its staff too little credit. It's not some insane notion to think that they could come up another ten stories per season, and even if they gave them 15 episodes from now on 100 episodes seems obtainable.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:Oh totally, that'd be a longshot. I just don't see why they'd not give it a larger order if the second season does well. two possible reasons: dan harmon has/had a full-time gig somewhere else and physically runs the writer's room on R and M, so even with his admitted lessened involvement in season two (he was much less hands-on because he was working so much on community) it might've been a situation where the writers were waiting on dan's input, which he couldn't give because he physically wasn't there also, rick and morty and community share writers (ryan ridley most prominently), so it could've been a situation where the writers were literally working somewhere else second possible reason: you'd need to ask typical about this but from the level of animation detail and general animation quality on this show i imagine episode turnarounds take a LOT longer than on, say, a really simply animated show like ATHF on even South Park (which the latter looks great, let me be clear) which are done almost entirely in flash with stock character templates, i'm completely out of my depth here because i'm not an animator but from the way rick and morty looks it just looks like it'd take longer than the week-or-less turnaround on an ep of south park also i think the whole show is animated in-house at starburns? which is a relatively tiny studio that was co-founded by harmon, so i'd imagine that if that's true and they don't outsource to Korea/whatever episodes take forever to animate

Community never really burned itself down, just burned itself out. I think the only reason why that show gets such a bad rep later on is because it attracted a more exacting audience.

and even then the most recent season of community was generally regarded as at least a return to form for the show as a whole and by many is considered the second-or-third best season of the show as a whole

The show started doing well and he became really difficult to work with and Sarah fired him because she couldn't handle him anymore. Edit: Feel free to correct me. I was interpreting what I had heard on the Harmontown podcast and I could be totally off.
