He blew up his portal gun and he couldn't go back to Earth to create another and the Federation controls all the non-Rick interdimensional portals. The show also established that there was a limited amount of times he can take the place of some other Rick and unless the rest of the family had coincidentally all died in that universe they still wouldn't be able to go back to their normal lives.

Is it that unlikely that there is a universe where the family died at the wedding? Couldn't they go to that universe, where the galactic government thinks they are dead, and so never bothers annexing earth? They could go back to their lives with no one the wiser, unless rick can't build another portal gun. Maybe he just has a martyr complex, or is trying to motivate Summer and Morty, or he needs to be in prison for some reason?

The answer is that it is more interesting this way.

(if you need a logical in-universe answer: the portal gun probably requires those interdimensional crystals and possibly other parts that are super rare and possibly only on planets in federation jurisdiction. The difference is then that his family might be on the run/in danger/miserable for several years while he reconstructs it rather than being safe back on Earth in under a week)

I enjoyed that Earth joined the Galactic Federation and now apparently is crawling with all kinds of aliens, allowing for stories involving crazy poo poo and the normal cast to meld together without having to take earthlings into space or inject crazy science crap into real life stuff to bridge the gap.

For other TV shows, this feels like a lead-in to a topical episode on illegal immigration, but with Rick and Morty I feel like it's a lead-in to Jerry getting cuck'd by Krombopolous Michael.

Or Tombopolous Michael, the brood-sibling of the late Krombopolous.

That was my very first thought once he finished the call.

Also, having just seen "Doc and Mharti" last night, the ball-licking part was unfortunately very graphic in my mind

It was also really hard to keep reminding myself that they weren't grandpa and grandson, especially after watching two whole seasons of Rick and Morty. :gonk:

Two things.

First: holy crap, that was a good season finale. Like Mr. Poopybutthole said, it'll be interesting to see how they write their way out of that little corner! I loved that they fleshed out some of what Rick was busy doing during the 20 or so years he was out of his family's life (and away from Earth). Apparently, he was up to some heroic and terroristic derring-do, and maybe his decision to reconnect with his family had something to do with getting tired of hiding from the Galactic Federation.

Then, our humble Dirtplanet joins said Federation, and they've opened us up for space tourism! Already, there are souvenirs. I saw an I (heart) Earth shirt.

I loved the Little Prince planet, too, and of course Jerry's "space gun" was a confetti gun. And Rick, making his heroic sacrifice to ensure the safety and well-being of his family, turns himself in in the most Rick way imaginable. Even got a homoerotic parting shot on the poor sap... who ended up getting a job and free drugs!

And speaking of Jerry....


.... OK, this is unrelated to the show, mostly. I'm a member of an online community that sends postcards out all over the world. Yes, this makes me a colossal dork, but bear with me here. So, I was sending a batch of cards, and each profile the system selects for you has some text that describes what kinds of cards they prefer, and sometimes suggestions on what to write. Well, one of my cards was going to New York, and the guy's profile had his first initial instead of first name. It was J. He requested that people send him insults, because who would do that on a postcard?

My postcard to him was not as mean as it could have been, but among other things, I did ask him if the J was for Jerry, because his oddball request was a very Jerry thing to say.

When postcards arrive and get registered, the person who received the card can send a short message to the sender. Here's what I got from Possibly Jerry:

In spite of how he's dressed, he ain't nobody's fool.
So, did I miss an episode or, I remember there was a clip about Rick, Morty & Summer looking for a bathroom between dimensions which ended with Morty saying "That's why I let Granpa Rick put a cathoder in me!"

Was that like, a cut scene or something made just to put in commercials? I feel like I've been diligent on my season 2 watchings.

I don't know how you would do it, but I'd love if there was a small time skip and Morty is the one who breaks rick out (maybe with some help). The Federation seems like it's going to make the earth into a fascist, bureaucratic hellhole and I can't wait to see what happens.




Man this episode made me really feel bad for rick. Whenever he drops his perpetual rear end in a top hat field something bad usually happens. This time he lost at least one of the very few people he's genuinely close too. I expect birdman to comeback in someway though due to his ominous vows and trying to tell Beth her father's goals.

I don't think Jerry is gonna get in any trouble. He was alone with his family the entire time they were on the run, and it's not like he had any access to any comm device or anything. I'm pretty sure everyone knows Rick turned himself in (or at least got caught semi-intentionally so his family could go home).

I saw a lot of foreshadowing in that episode. I think that the next season is going to show us the many ways in which the Galactic Federation SUCKS (ie getting people hooked on "happy" pills and then using that to make them indebted to the state forever and forcing them into super poo poo jobs a la indentured servitude)... and in the process of freeing Rick they're going to somehow take down the entirety of the Federation and free 6500+ planets. Oh man.
