No argument there. On the other hand, a Walton Goggins monologue makes the phone book interesting.

Sure, but one of the big themes of the show is that no one in the family ever confronts their problems. Summer descends into nihilism, Beth is an alcoholic, Rick turns himself into a pickle, Jerry is too much of a wimp to fight. Morty tries to stand up to Rick a couple of times, but Rick seems to have warped him…

I would not binge all the way through. Just Google the best episodes and stick with them and you'll be fine.

I understand your dislike of "Futurama", which definitely has some legitimately poor episodes that I just skip completely, but there are some classics in there. I particularly recommend "Roswell That Ends Well", "The Sting", "Luck of the Fryrish", "The Devil's Hnds are Idle Playthings", and "The Late Philip J. Fry" if…

"Starvation" was a very good episode as well.

"Slaughterhouse" was the reason season 5 wasn't as good as season 3. It was really a masterful bit of storytelling, resolving every loose end of the season in a concise but highly entertaining way, and it ended with one of the most brutal lines of the whole series. Season 5 had that density of plotting but was never…

"All You Zombies" was made into a movie called "Predestination" as well.

"Futurama" called, they want their best episode back.

Agreed. 3 was very good and I think gets a bad rap from people who really want to sell the "Only good in the even seasons" narrative, which definitely isn't true. 3 was good throughout and had two classic episodes in "Thick as Mud" and "Slaughterhouse". Neil MacDonagh was fantastic.

I just went through "Breaking Bad" and it is a legitimately excellent show, but "Justified" was more fun to watch. Still upset Goggins didn't get an Emmy for season 6.

That was a fantastic exchange.

I used to believe season 2 was the easy winner of the best season award, but the last three episodes of season 4 were brilliant and feature what is definitely the show's most beloved episode, and season 6 had arguably the longest run of sustained excellence (only thing I didn't like about 6 is that Ava was given a…

Of course Beth is. What's really surprising me is that people are just figuring this out now. EVERY character on this show sucks. That's kind of the point!

That was just the regular soundtrack, and we don't see Augustine die (though it does work REALLY well). I suppose if you count suicide "You'll never Leave Harlan Alive" to Mags' death is one of the best death scenes I've ever watched, period.

Jerry isn't in several episodes.

Morty and Armethy did great work.

I wouldn't put this top five probably, but it's an A for sure. I'd probably put the original Council of Ricks episode, the Purge episode, Cronenberg episode, the one with all of the memory-changing aliens, and maybe Rixty Minutes or The Wedding Squanchers ahead of this one.

Like…I don't get it. What is being done here that's never been done before? How is the tone any different than the tone of basically every "Rick and Morty" episode?

I can't be the only one kind of baffled by all of the negative comments, right? This felt exactly like vintage Rick and Morty to me. People are saying that the show is changing or whatever and I don't even remotely see it.

Favorite use of music undercutting violence is Constable Bob killing Yolo in "Justified", though that wasn't classical music. Mikey did kill Katherine Hale to classical, which was also a great scene.
