It wasn’t anything formula-breaking, but this was one of the best-executed episodes of BB in a while. High joke density, fantastic characterizations all around, strong new characters. Gene was on fire. Definitely deserves higher than a B+.

If you had told me in 2011 that Bob’s Burgers would not only still be on but still be extremely funny in fall 2017, I wouldn’t have believed you. But here we are.

Uhhhhhh it was one episode. Everything will go back to normal for the next one, no worries.

I don’t think they’re working hard enough on the central plots of each episode these days. There hasn’t been anything overly fresh or inventive about the last three episodes in terms of storytelling or the science fiction at their core, whereas the strongest episodes of the season (Rickshank, Ricklaxation, Ricklantis)…

Man, a B+? That’s like an F-.

Fuck, this episode was fun. The plot wasn’t especially substantive or complex, but they wanted the focus to be on the fan’s work and I feel they succeeded on that front. Still a very funny script and the animation was very engaging. I’d give it a B+.

The first BH season finale to land in the A range, and well deserved. I loved this episode and thought it brought a purposefully scattershot season together in a very satisfying way.

I see people in the comments talking about grading on a scale to keep the scores from being stale and redundant, but this episode wasn’t an A on any scale. I mean, if it were released as an episode of Two and a Half Men, maybe. As a Rick and Morty episode it was no better than a B. A mixed bag of gags (slightly higher…

Yeah, this was the weakest episode of the season. Funny stuff, but narratively predictable, especially in a season full of surprises. For any other show, this would be a really strong outing, but a B- is probably not far off the mark to Bojack standards.

This was one of those weird episodes that was so astonishingly good in one area that it led me to not care about anything else going on in the episode. The PC/Todd/Rutabaga stuff was competent, but it just felt like a distraction that didn’t reflect, parallel or contrast the themes of the A plot in any meaningful way.…

If you want funny, the opener was nothing but funny. Just absolute insanity. It was as if the writers heard criticisms of the show not being funny enough anymore and went straight at them. It’s not just the political satire that works, but the spot on spoof of any sports film with a teacher/sensei. And also the way…

Season 3 of Rick & Morty is probably the most I’ve ever seen AV Club overrate a season of television.

That’s the first time I’ve seen anyone criticize the season as a whole. Mostly I’ve seen broad praise for it with a couple negative points aimed at a specific episode. I thought it was a top shelf season, as always.

Thought it was a hell of a lot stronger than last season’s topical episode because 1) its subject matter felt relevant to the concerns of Hollywoo as a whole rather than one character, making it feel necessary, 2) its humor relied more on wordplay and social commentary than South Park-inspired shock humor, and 3)…

I laughed out loud about half a dozen times at this premiere alone. It was so supremely stupid and that was, for this show, oddly refreshing.

Depends on who you ask. There’s a very common theory that Diane’s last memory before her transformation was of being raped by Evil Cooper, and that a similar rape may explain what happened to Audrey (as well as the birth of her child).

Just looking at the scene for what’s there, it’s not pointless at all. That was the face of the man who raped her, if not the man himself, so it doesn’t surprise me that she covered it with her hands. It was an extremely vulnerable, uncomfortable scene, as it should have been and illuminated Diane’s psychology…
