Im starting to lose interest after this season.  Between the frankly psychotic hardcore fans and the fact it feels like autopilot due to 70 episodes being forced to happem, I'm just not having it.  Sure there are good episodes and jokes but, ehh.

You’re done with Rick and Morty to the extent that you’ll continue to show up to every AV Club post about it to comment on how problematic it is and how morally superior you are for not watching it.

20 million people watched every episode of the Simpsons in the 1990s. 5 million watch R&M. And there were 82 million fewer people in the US in 1990. Rick and Morty on cable has a tiny following compared to the prime time broadcast of The Simpsons.

At a certain point ironically selling out just looks like selling out with a little lip service. I mean, good for Roiland for making a character that’s useful for corporate shilling, I guess.

I mean...Pierce died. So it’s probably a sure thing he wouldn’t come back anyway.

“Pierce was secretly the best character”

Why was Sylvie introduced as a patient, ruthless master planner only to be depicted as a petulant, impatient hothead ever since?

This series has been wonderful, but it has two critical flaws. First, the episode runtime makes everything feel rushed. That pacing problem is exacerbated when they do let things play out, as in the 75% exposition finale. Casting Johnathan Majors, and the instant chemistry he establishes with the two Lokis, is the…

I do love that ultimately Sylvie can’t get beyond her singular goal of toppling the TVA, consequences be damned. It makes sense to me that she’d only barely come to trust the other Loki even if she felt some affection for him, and that dissipated immediately once they were no longer on the same page regarding He Who…

The production of cocaine is so bloody and life-destroying that we have no choice but to wage a bloody and life-destroying global war on drugs to stop it.

Wait, pot has JUMPED in price? Since when? I don’t smoke and never have, but just from being around it a lot I’ve gathered that it’s much cheaper than it was when I was younger. Hell, on more than one occasion someone who rarely smokes has bitched to me about how they can’t get rid of a big mess of weed that came into…

That’s just your basic farm, paying taxes and following OSHA procedures.

“£200 ($435 USD) a gram”

The real Pennie Lane ended up returning to “normalcy” once the rose colored glasses came off. She wasn’t a lifer. That bears out in my experience in music scenes. Eventually the savvy ones realize that they don’t want to be the last ones at the party. 

Most of Paquin’s added scenes in the extended cut build Polexia’s crush on William, particularly her last scene where she asks him to write about her one day.

“you’re hoping to deflect attention”

Agreed. And I don’t think I get the people who take Penny Lane’s saying that she’s 16 to William literally. She’s obviously joking about age; I believe the extended cut even has a scene celebrating her birthday where the mystery of her age is kind of a joke.

With this movie, as with most “special edition” cuts, I find myself longing for a semi-special edition that puts back in a few key scenes (e.g., Penny’s birthday scene, which if I remember correctly fills in a pretty gaping hole in the narrative) and omits the numerous too-cute indulgences the director swept off the…

Not just here, a good part of the internet is like that. They see it as liberal and progressive but it’s really a manifestation of the good ‘ol madonna/whore complex.

I’m just the opposite. Love the bootleg cut. I saw the movie once at the theater and then once on dvd before buying the bootleg version, more to get the CD of Stillwater songs than anything else. Haven’t watched the theatrical cut since. At this point, I can barely remember what the alterations are.
