Now that was a mediocre R&M episode! Maybe I'm just super bored of superheroes, superhero teams, and superhero deconstructions … but then to aggressively lampshade how lame doing Saw is? R&M is a show about references, and when the references are obvious and boring, the show is obvious and boring. The most interesting…

It dealt with multiple timelines and a device that can freeze time. They travel to other timelines, and people from other timelines travel to theirs. Also, Rick uses a time crystal somehow. Also, the subsequent episode has a Jerry daycare center with Jerrys from different timelines and times. If there's a device that…

Yeah, basically— it just tries to be as nasty as it can be, with a certain slyness to it. Reminds me of old underground comics. And a dog leading a satanic underground torture-death orgy is always nice. It's pretty basic, and it's not my favorite show by any means, but I'm glad it's on tv. It's really unfortunate…

"A Rickle in Time" (s2e1) is a time travel episode. Don't trust what secretive creators say.

Because it rocks?

This was a stealth cross-over with Mr. Pickles, pretty sure.

Again, I don't watch Futurama, but since the whole of R&M is made of recycled sci fi tropes (literally, I have watched every episode and never seen any sci fi element *not* pulled from a prior novel, story, movie, show, comic, or game), I don't know why it would bother them to borrow from Heinlein again (having…

Naw, I think it'll happen when they run out of other stuff to do. Also, it lends itself to enough perverse implications that it will be hard to resist doing some version of it, at least a fake out version of it. My opinion is that if there is something perverse they can do, they'll do it in some form. I like that…

Also, he's "Tiny Rick," with gray hair, not "Younger Rick." Suspicious …

But the whole show is made of recycled tropes, some obscure, some not so much. That's why I watch it. The recycling is not as on the nose as Futurama, which I don't like, but I'd say it's 100% unoriginal sci fi tropes, which is fine and good for a parody/pastiche show. That's also why I think they inevitably have to…

I thought Predestination was really good! I like both the story and the movie— though the movie does add a lot of extra stuff.

If they did it, they stole it from Robert Heinlein's "—All you zombies—". I wouldn't know if they did because I don't like that show.

Why is it stupid?

I just want to get this in before they inevitably do it on the show …
BIG REVEAL: Morty is his own grandpa.
Morty goes back in time and either deliberately or inadvertently has sex with his own grandmother. As he ages (perhaps stuck in the past, becoming a great scientist (against his own better judgement?) in the…

I'd rather have John de Lancie as Q with a snap of his fingers wipe out the nu-trek timeline completely and forever and promise that there will only be real Trek from now on. That'd be pretty meta.

I hate Steven Moffat because everything he does is devoted to (1) propounding the proposition that all smart people are sociopaths and (2) demonstrating that he is a smart person.

Room?

Clark: "What's your position on the Bat vigilante? What with the civil liberties being trampled on, the living in fear, the thinking he's above the law, and all that?"

Ugh. Moffat writes cliff notes, not actual stories. Every line of dialog Spells Out the Theme in Boldface Abstractions, as if the characters are somehow aware that they are part of a fictional mythos and have been tasked with expositing undergraduate literary analyses of their present situations. The Doctor calls Baby…

Some of my best friends are wombats! Trust me though, as a rule, they have terrible taste in TV shows.
