it was hell of transphobic how they kept making fun of Jerry for imagining what it would be like if he had a vagina

i think they were mocking the fact he was so defensive about an offhand comment about wanting to try out having a vagina (which everyone has prob mused about), subtle distinction but hey, why encourage nuanced humor when you can score carepoints on the internet

Ein's a legitimate transphobic with multiple posts in his rapsheet pointing that out which makes the people like Buzkashi who unironically supported his clearly stupid facetious false opinion all the more moronic.

Not sure, but it airs 12:30am here. It's really odd for such a popular show. I got my roommate really into it, but we can't watch it until the next day because he works early.

Come to me .... and live forever.
Arguably the best episode since the premiere. A-plot worked out well, with Rick and Jerry unloading on one another but coming to a truce. B-plot worked out well with the usual weirdness. I guess you could argue that the wormhole stuff was out of left field and the ending was bit rushed (and still a bit status quo even though Jerry is apparently stronger from it.) But it was definitely enjoyable.

One thing that got me was the immortality field. I mean, come on. It's like the holodeck on Star Trek. Why isn't civilization based around this thing? Hell, why doesn't Rick have a personal version he's got activated at all times? He's got cybernetic pop gun implants, but not an immortality field?

Also realized this is the second time this season a family member tried to kill Rick.

This episode was really low on the jokes (though customer support tricking Beth into releasing them was a good one), but I loved the character work. Definitely one of the "important" episodes.

The vagina jokes were transphobic and sexist and I really don't understand why goons are getting upset for mentioning it. The very punchline depended on the viewer believing that a man thinking about having a vagina makes him a lesser person. Personally I found it funny, and I know what kind of messages society has given both me and the writers that allowed the structure of the joke to work, but I can't pretend that it wasn't wrong.

I'm not arguing that it's nuanced so it's not transphobic or whatever, but I took the joke differently. I thought it was "haha look at jerry struggle with being accused of wanting something he doesn't and becoming transphobic in the process of defending his point of view"

And Jerry was such a worm about it. At least when Morty shot Rick, extremely stupid as that decision was, he had conviction. Jerry managed to piss off Rick AND the aliens he was helping to kill Rick AND whine about not being his fault as he gets eaten by a bug. That takes some real patheticism.
