My only somewhat-main gripe of the series was how they handled the "closure" of Kavanaugh. As batshit-crazy as he was becoming, I still have a hard time buying into him confessing like that. I'm no writer, but I think I wouldve rather seen him confess after getting caught red-handed or something like that, maybe by…

Posting the exact quote because I think it's even funnier:

I'd just start with the first two episodes. I don't think the pilot is the strongest episode, but it's a good introduction to the characters and Morty makes a fine audience surrogate in it. The second episode is "Lawnmower Dog", which is still one of the most inventively-yet-tightly plotted episodes of anything I've…

"Ugh, I walk into the kitchen and what do I see? My brother, treating his body like an amusement park!"

ah, The AV Club, where we can still rely on people having minor disagreements over a television show to jump to nasty personal attacks over it.

"You-you know what, Rick, you go about in pity for yourself, a-and all the while, you're floating through space, going on crazy adventures, and a great wind is carrying you across the sky. You're such an asshole!"

I like "tho". It sounds almost Shakespearean to me.

It's much more likely with Mr. Beauregard (and this show) that by tearing his flesh, wearing his flesh, you could be born unto new worlds where his flesh is your key.

Upvoted for correct spelling of "Hamurai"— he's a samurai made of ham, Zack, not hammers.

I feel like it would be a cheat if they tried to play it seriously. And in fact, I did think that at first. But as a throwaway joke at the end of the episode, it was darkly hilarious. So I hope that's all it was.

I think there's something to be said for the fact that despite all the different Ricks we've seen across all the different timelines, none of them are still with Beth's mother.

Captions spelled it that way.

Mr. Beauregard!

I think @lovewaffle is, too, because I don't remember any flashbacks from Cooperative Calligraphy (and Paradigms of Human Memory starts when Annie finds the pen that went missing in CC).

Roiland's House of Cosbys is brilliant, and this show carries a decent amount of its DNA. I don't really think it's wise to credit one of them more than the other; I just wanted to mention that.

Well, yes and no. I was fine with the twist because I thought it was a darkly hilarious ending. If we'd been expected to really feel dramatic stakes for Mr. Poopybutthole or traumatized Beth, I would have felt annoyed and manipulated.

Best episode of the season. If THIS had been the leaked one everyone was raving about, I would understand.

Look through his comments on some of the episode reviews here.

Comparing The Wire to this in that same sense is totally laughable. The Wire has like a hundred main characters from many walks of life, so to say that is patently absurd. (Unless schoolchildren, district attorneys, and newspaper reporters count as "violent men" now.)

you had no clue of what was happening
