Tell that to the system that convicted Tommy’s dad.

Well, of course there wasn't any body, he ate it all!

Really, though, I think that they could've done a much darker gag: Tommy's dad was suspected for more child cannibalism, but only ever convicted for his son's "death", he still gets freed via the Tommy clone... and then the post-credits scene shows how right those suspicions were.

I'm getting a strong impression that S4 is somehow going to be even more blatant about "Rick is a lovely person! Why the gently caress would you ever want to be like him?!", if it's even possible... And his die-hard fans will still miss the entire drat point.

I mean, even an overall crappy season can have some great moments to it (and vice versa, obviously). Like Korra S2: overall considered the weakest point of the series/franchise, yet it still managed to have the fantastic Spirit World and Wan sequences.

Even though I overall liked S3 as much as the first two, I thought the finale episode was the weakest of them, even if it did end with Rick getting some comeuppance for once.

That, or they're trying to figure out the most scathing way to have Rick go on a monologue telling the worst fans to go gently caress themselves at the end of the season premier.

Yeah, the Elon cameo really kind of ripped me out of the experience as soon as I realized that it was actually him.

Really though, they seriously soft-balled on Elon in what was otherwise a pretty drat scathing episode. Just a lame bit of ribbing him.

Yeah, pretty much all of the other celebrity cameos so far weren’t quite so blatant about it, right? Like, I initially couldn’t tell it was John Oliver in S1, had a sneaking suspicion it was Colbert in S2, and so on, while they didn’t even try to mask Musk.

I’d kind of like it if they made a running gag with every updated release for Greedo to have increasingly improbable bad aim. Like, missing despite having the blaster literally poking Han in the eye bad.

Considering the stinger for this episode outright invokes "a storm is coming", I get the feeling that the finale is going to be either Morty finally making a stand for himself against Rick (at the worst possible time, of course), or one of the loose ends from earlier seasons (Evil Morty or Tammy and Phoenixperson, just off the top of my head).

I mean, even after the last few episodes demonstrated exactly how pathetic Walter White had become after getting stripped of everything he’d worked towards over the rest of Breaking Bad, he still got to go out with a bang without ever really having to confront any of the farther reaching consequences of his actions that didn’t affect people in his immediate circle of family and friends.

Okay, revised prediction of the season finale: Morty finally manages to unambiguously outsmart Rick on something significant precisely because Rick’s extreme cynicism caused him to overlook or dismiss Morty’s idea, and his own “solution” is either ineffective or makes the problem a thousand times worse.

Yeah, gross-out humor is one of the overall weakest kinds IMO, and pretty much all of the back half of this episode relied entirely on it. It’s the only one so far that’s been a pretty solid dud in my book.

I mean, Jerry finally growing a nanometer of a spine at the worst time wouldn’t be all that surprising for him.

Kinda surprised that the stinger didn’t feature a quick few seconds of the family watching a news report about his antics killing everyone on board and quite a few people on the ground, and everyone else (including Rick) has no idea why he’s taking it so hard.

Worst case, I could see them divvying future episodes into two halves to meet the order... though that potentially just magnifies the creative output tapout.

Honestly surprised that they haven’t gone back to Jerry’s parents in all this time, come to think of it. Like, it becomes a running gag that every time they reappear, they’re publicly into kinkier and kinkier stuff.

I wonder if the show will get canceled. An employment contract would have "charged with a felony" as cause for termination so I figure a show deal would be similar

I stopped watching when they had musk on the show, the writing was on the wall right there.

Yeah, I managed to get through the rest of that season, but that one cameo was essentially the catalyst for me realizing that R&M just wasn’t landing the same as it did when I first started.

It’s like Elon has the Midas Touch, but everything he touches turns to poo poo instead
