I recently had a 10 hour plane ride and downloaded 5 random episodes because I knew, at some point, I was going to want to watch Rick & Morty.

I agree with you, though. I think one of the sides of the Internet is people feeling like they own shows or people because they can openly comment on what they want and what is/isn’t working. Or that they can force a show’s hand by sheer SM protest. It doesn’t help that there have been some things that have been…

What I don’t get about all of this is that to me it’s so evident that Rick is a Don Draper like character. He presents as some sort of ideal, but when you get to know the guy, you realize how messed up he is. He can’t function without Morty or Beth. He can’t talk about his past. He’s basically emotionally paralyzed.

I loooved their scene together, too. Agree on Madelaine Petsch. She’s great.

And the bitter sting of losing Grantland remains . . .

I have this issue with Riverdale where they tease you with going full dark and twisty; then they draw back into standard fare. Like the Cheryl-Jason relationship. Veronica is the same. I never read the comic so when I saw her, I thought they were going to go full Blair Waldorf and got excited as Blair was my world.…

Speaking as a woman, what the hell are you talking about?

I’m not proud of it but I watched the first season on Netflix — I made it to about episode 5 of watching the full episode, then I started fast-forwarding through every scene that wasn’t Josie, Betty or Jughead.

In a fit of family-drama rage, I once drove about 19 hours straight. I remember thinking that I had to stay awake and stay focused —- and that I definitely was hallucinating flamingo’s on the side of the road.

But that’s like saying Rick’s toast to Bird Person was too-on-the-nose because he may have acknowledged that his best friend is actually Bird Person. Or the scene where it’s openly acknowledged that Rick needs Morty. You can know it all you want, but you need to see the character faced with it head on to see what they…

I’ve heard of people not liking ‘Pickle Rick’ and I just don’t get it. I looved it. You had the most workaday R&M story (the therapy) mixed with the most absurd (Pickle Rick) that somehow flips to become a trope-filled action movie while the other side becomes the most sincere thing ever said about Rick, literally the…

Vernon and Sam are my favorite characters. They steal all their scenes handily.

Kether Donahue’s costumer is doing the Lord’s work. Each and every look is bright, stylish and sexy. Totally making me up my game.

Yes, yes, all the yes. Favorite moment of the episode. Loved the dedication.

I’m in until this show ends but I’m not loving the season so far. For all their talk of truth, the characters are losing theirs. They scrambled everyone too quickly so I don’t buy Lindsay being a career gal, Edgar being a ladies man, Jimmy being committed and Gretchen being so passive. It’s weird and it’s not working.

Jessica Gao was the executive story editor for both Pickle Rick and Rest and Ricklaxation. F-ck diversity, f-ck gender, Jessica Gao could be a genderless turtle from an alternate reality and would still deserve an Emmy.

Seriously, I’m a female diehard Rick and Morty fan but have barely read up on it because each time it’s just been awful. The sexism, the idiocy and how everyone thinks they own it is just painful to follow. Like Rick says, ‘damnit Morty, rise above.’

How does the thumbs up make sense? It’s just a movement of the body that’s been given meaning by enough people doing it to give it meaning.

Why is this a fight? Did someone back in the day fight the thumbs up? Or is this like a Rick and Morty thing —- where we’re fighting the microverse?

I was/have been legitimately grumpy about LCD Soundsystem coming back. I also am/are legitimately grumpy about R. Kelly even if his song ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ is a pivotal moment in my life/go-to karaoke song.
