Precisely why it pissed me off… that and Jeff Davis pointing out counterexamples of people he knew who preferred not to be in the spotlight, and Harmon implying that it was because they lacked talent. If they had talent, then they'd want to be in the spotlight. That enraged me. Plus his justification for that belief…

he was on screen, but under sedation and with his abdomen cut open. His face was never on screen.

they really broke the s-bomb seal last week!

Like just last week on Harmontown he was talking about how he blocked people on Twitter to keep himself from obsessing over someone he disagreed with, and I was about to post about that here when I started thinking… when was the last time I actually saw one of his tweets? So I checked, and right there: you have been…

depends on whether it transmitted sensations, which I remain unclear on…

Dan Harmon blocked me on Twitter…

feed the devil soup until your troubles go away…

I really enjoyed it. I especially got a kick out of the way Alice -immediately- realized that she and Bill were on the same team and so clearly relished having an ally.

The only physical appearance of Vera!

I no longer look forward to watching the episodes. Watching them seems less and less an entertainment and more and more a chore. If more were like last night's, I wouldn't put it off 'til after Rick and Morty and Last Week Tonight AND whatever else was on AND maybe some reading or video games or…

I paused my playback halfway through because I knew I recognized her and it was driving me nuts. Spent the rest of the episode wishing for a Babou cameo.

The show never implied it. A bunch of commentariat saw a woman in the hospital and jumped to a bunch of conclusions based on genre conventions or something.

Interdimensional Cable 2: Diminishing Returns!

For me it didn't hit until the credits, then I was kicking myself for not hearing it. Like, at first I was just thinking it was a voice we'd heard on the show before, all the time even… apparently "Rick and Morty" and "Community" are the same show in some compartment of my mind. Then I was racking my brainmeats, and…

Wow, yeah, Beth and Summer is a totally untapped resource.

It seems like Jerry's nebbishness is mostly circumstantial. In his everyday life he's not given enough challenges to overcome, just sits popping his red balloons and ignoring conversations, watching DVDs with the commentary, trying to set up TVs with stereo. Give him apocalyptic danger, the kind where he can't just go…

I was kicking myself for missing the Coach Feratu joke until the Master-analogue pointed it out

yes. this. precisely.

TINY RICK, BITCH! (did they censor that in exchange for the unbleeped glory of Morty's "get your shit together" monologue?)

I ALMOST couldn't watch it. I was on the verge of pausing the playback and going for a walk around the apartment to steel my nerves. I'm so glad I instead gritted my teeth and soldiered through, because the whole thing was PERFECT
