Rick and Morty

Maybe it's just me, but I fucking loved the Thanksgiving episode. Good shit. And the after credits scene was great also, especially the comment by the one guy in the background.

I mean it is good but it isn't what we want, we aren't seeing any more character/story progression it feels like filler and one off episodes. Vat of acid episode is a great of example of story and character progression, didn't really go anywhere but you got to see Morty tired of Ricks shit and Rick proving that his shit is always for the best.

Each season usually has a few themes they repeat. We already had the Morty episode and clone episode but no Federation or Citadel, no stone/crystal one, and it seems like the President is replacing all the psychologist or Vindicator level themes.

Aside from the ship escapades the entirety of the season has been Earth-centric too.

The first three seasons were all made out of one year deals and now that they have a long-term commitment they have to just fill a bunch of episodes and sprinkle the actual overall arc out over the next three years because they only have so much sorry to go

Thats not true there was a video of them having roland walking into the board room drinking so he could get into character and do the story boards and be a drunk. I think it was after the first seasone they had huge success and someone wanted to film his process. Roland even drew all the falic annimation on a whiteboard wasted

I don’t understand at all how that is related to what I posted. Did you quote the wrong person?

I meant they never went into the show with seasons in mind, Roiland and harmon just wrote stuff off the top of their heads regardless of having contracts

Did everyone else nope out on this show, or are the episodes just so uninteresting to talk about?

I rely on you all to tell me whether quitting was the correct decision.

They're just not all that interesting.

Yesterdays episode was leaked online weeks ago, it was minorly discussed at the time.

Regarding this week:

And here's the promo for the final episode this season:

Yeah I haven't hated any of them so far but this last one sucked.

All the stories feel unoriginal, they are just parodies of whatever. I wouldnt be surprised if the writers came frome family guy

It's maybe the thing that bothers me the most - the spoofs are all so surface level. It's like these people have heard of Hellraiser, Captain Planet and Voltron through cultural osmosis but don't really have anything interesting to say or do with them. There's no clever take or reconstructive elevation. Even a later episode like Rattlestar Ricklactica (the snake planet one with snake jazz) took familiar sci-fi tropes but viewed them through an absurd lens. Having a 1950s sci-fi plot with all snakes and no dialogue to then do snake Terminator with a callback to the Nth dimensional beings is something. Hellraiser cenobites like how horrible Jerry is isn't anything.

Here's the cold open for Sunday's season finale.
