It is a crime that Flula Borg didn’t get more screen time. He is a transatlantic treasure, and I hope he made $20 million for his 3-minute long performance.

I agree with the addition that even most “normies” continue to act like adolescents because we lack education in social skills either formal or familial. And many of our role models tend to be rich, spoiled babies who air their dirty laundry in public whenever they can, a.k.a. “stars.”

Yes, bribing his subordinate to have sex with him is Armond being "good." He might be understandably coercive, but that's still not great. It doesn't matter what the message of the show is, it matters how the characters actually behave. 

The fact that the employer is a billionaire and the employee of note is a millionaire means that the “average Joe” at the company is already getting screwed over.

Am I the only one who doesn’t feel bad for the millionaires fighting over who gets more of the millions? I understand this kind of suit in principle, but these people make so much more money than most people ever will. Is there really no point at which they say, “Oh, I’m covered for life? Then I’m good.”

Thanks! Others are complaining that there’s no character development on the show, but I’m thinking character development might be killing it.

If someone paid me millions of dollars to do a job and then offered to pay me millions of dollars to do it again *and* people would like the end product better *and* I’d get to work with a better boss, I’d probably do it.

A lot of what’s missing from this season is meaningful family conflict. The show used to be fairly brutal in its depiction of characters trying to win another character’s affection even if they hurt a third character’s feelings in the process. There was the Rick/Beth/Jerry triangle, the Rick/Morty/Summer triangle, the…

I think this is what we get when the creators take less than 2 years to develop a season. Nothing so far is as overworked as that story train mess from last season, but a lot of ideas are underdeveloped. I mean, Morty keeps just having kids from school over to his house. Is this Growing Pains all of a sudden? And did…

The bleeping has always been kind of sporadic. It has to do with the number of curses they’re allowed (which depends on the outlet, I guess) and which ones they think are funny to hear v. funny to bleep.

As a stand-alone episode, this could have been better. Sperm doesn’t = funny, after all, and they relied on the inherent hilarity of spooge quite a lot.

100%. His emotional beats in Infinity War fall completely flat for me, which always takes me out of the big fight with Thanos on Titan. I know that’s a silly example, but it’s the first time I realized why I don’t connect with him as a dramatic actor. He just can’t muster anything more than a grimace and an “oh yeah?”…

I agree that those were also good episodes. In fact, I think most episodes had good hooks, but maybe ran a little too long? I’m always in favor of more compact storytelling, so maybe capping the episode lengths would have made the anthology-like nature of the series seem more impactful and less scattered.

Why are people in this comments thread so eager to poop on the fun implications of this episode? Let a man wildly extrapolate from his favorite cartoon for a minute. It’s not going to hurt anybody. Sheesh.

Cool — thanks for letting me know. I was just thinking about how much I missed the sense of community around here, so this was a welcome reply. Glad you liked the movie, even though we disagree. Happy summer!

Yes! I imagine a decoy Morty and Summer transferring to the “real” Morty and Summer’s school. It could still happen. Nothing says they’re all dead...

True, “our” Rick is the Rickest Rick, but when we’re talking about infinite dimensions I doubt anything only happens once between them. Even if Ricks only made decoys across a small percentage of infinite dimensions, that’s still a lot of decoys.

I love anytime we explore multiple dimensions on Rick and Morty, so this was a special treat: multiple Smith families in the same dimension, meaning that we now have infinite dimensions full of decoys. Did the Decoy War happen in all of them? Is there a dimension where all the decoys are still running around,…

100% agree. What’s really divisive is having multiple competing American histories. If we could all just agree that bad things happened in the past, maybe the nation could start to heal. But as long as white people insist on sanitizing history, there is going to be resentment and anger from the people whose history is…

I genuinely don’t understand this stance. Beth alone has massively changed over the course of the last couple of seasons. She’s claimed her own power by admitting that she’s like her father, she’s called Rick on his selfish tendency to abandon his children, and she’s rejected any need for his approval. That’s a…
