My Man!

My-My Grandkids weren't in that town, right? Are my grandkids alive? Hey, my drink is empty.

Ah, but you're forgetting the parallel. In R&M's original universe, the contagion didn't transform anyone who shared DNA with Morty, which is why Jerry, Beth and Summer were unaffected. Thus, in the original Cronenberg universe (the one the Cronenberg R&M left), the contagion would have turned everyone into a normal

Anyone notice that Morty was able to distract a telepath and hide his thoughts of killing it from it? Just a plot oversight or a glimmer of Morty's abilities that could lead him to be a super-villian like the version in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind?"

I'm having trouble with the 'Sons of the Harpy' storyline. The political dynamics and balance of forces are all wrong. One would figure that at most, the Sons of the Harpy consist of the former masters and their better-off cronies. The numbers simply wouldn't be enough to dominate the coliseum like they did. OK -

He sure Cronenberged the hell out of them.

I think the real point is that seeing things in terms of 'proving Chuck wrong/right' is the wrong framing. Chuck is worse than Jimmy will ever become. Regardless of how it ends, living life on his own terms stands above joining the collective hell that is made up of the Chucks and their firms.

I think it totally worked, and I'm usually very critical of plot issues. The real point is that the 'fine and upstanding' Chucks are the real scum, and Jimmy is better than that. it's a nice flip that's helps Jimmy right himself and stands in defiance of the whole 'he could have had everything he wanted and changed

The new firm is definitely Chucks - they just happen to be Chucks who are not Jimmy's brother, so they are willing to make the deal that any corporate-scum-lawyers would make.

"Weekend at LV-426"? The direction the film takes is left as an exercise for the reader.
