    Liked it better than last week’s but… I dunno these last few just haven’t been hitting the same way for me. Anyone else?

      Sames. It’s weird, but it’s moving towards an edgy “lolz I’m so random” type of energy. They’re not shocking me like they used to - it feels like Rick has moved towards a natural conclusion to his story. He’s quite literally ascended into something like godhood by now; it’s very difficult to relate to Inspector Gadget Rick, I don’t have much in common with him anymore. I don’t feel sorry for him anymore.

      There has to be a reckoning for what he did to Prime - until we get that resolution, and probably afterwards as well, I don’t like Rick. He’s not a good person, or a compelling antihero.

      I really enjoyed the cold open of this episode with Jerry’s grandma being passive aggressive at the golden gates; I hope we get another big bad, someone who actually kicks Rick’s ass and poses a significant threat.

      Let some other characters take the stage. Kill Rick and Morty off, or banish them outside the Curve for a couple of episodes - ever since Eyepatch Morty mentioned a multiverse of Summers seeking revenge I can’t stop thinking about how badass that would be. I want to see Summer team up with Space Beth and Bird Person, if the show structure is shifting towards a serialized format anyways they should just commit instead of dancing around from episode to episode.
