Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I didn't realize it started up again. Hope it's still on Comedy Central and my DVR slurped it up.
Last night was also the premier of "Kevin can f**k himself" but this ain't that thread.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
Unfortunately, Adult Swim is a pain to watch if you don't have cable unless you want to subscribe to an expensive 'live' option. It is an anti-cord-cutter network. I'll wait until it's available elsewhere.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I think this latest episode is setting us up for some bigger stories:
Other than that, my line for the week is “Were we Blades in that one? Tight.”

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
Hmmm...those were good catches, they happened so fast. That's my one complaint about the show is that sometimes the dialogue comes so quickly, you can miss key elements if you're not 100% dialed in.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Seasons 1-4 are on Hulu, but Season 5 isn't.
Where are you watching, and will the new stuff eventually migrate to Hulu?

I have Hulu + Live TV + Hulu DVR so I'm "recording" it from Adult Swim via Hulu as it's airing.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I have probably watched every past episode 4 or 5 times by now and i still catch new stuff sometimes. I like how it is so subtle and not blarring in your face to get the point across.Smoove_B wrote:Hmmm...those were good catches, they happened so fast.

I jumped between loving and getting frustrated with episode 2 of season 5 (Mortiplicity).
Loved it because it tried to shred so many scifi tropes.

But seriously, it was denser than last week's episode, so it's going to take at least one more watch before I start to understand everything they tried to do in that episode.

Also, there was a brief callout to last week's name drop on Diane in a blink and you'll miss it moment. Rick basically states "we're not going to get into it" and then the story moves on.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
Even if this last episode was a 2 minute premise stretched out into an entire episode, I sure enjoyed it. But yea, that post credit ending was extra dark.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
Maybe it's just me, but I feels like this season of R&M is heavily Justin and less Dan. It feels closer to the much more cynical and mean spirited Solar Opposites by Justin than it does previous seasons of R&M with Dan. I've always felt that Dan brings some humanity to Justin's admittedly often times funny cynicism, and that's what has kept the show from being about a cruel grandfather who is essentially a supervillain that enjoys torturing his grandson.
But this season I'm not really getting that vibe so far. I'm still enjoying it, don't get me wrong. But the formula just seems a little off.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
Oh, it's still miles beyond almost any other show. Don't get me wrong. I just miss the relatively light tone of a Vat of Acid, Pickle Rick or Ricklantis Mixup episode every now and again.

Film Theory provides an intriguing hypothesis on the reason the fifth season has seemed more than a wee bit 'off' and oddly inconsistent:

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
Okay, Fishing for Galactus might be my favorite bit from this season.
Also, this felt like an episode with more Harmon. It was a return to form in many ways.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
Yeah, that was a fun ride. As a casual viewer who didn't remember Evil Morty from S1 (if there's anything to that video), I enjoy the episodic episodes more than those with a lot of subtle callbacks for the serial fanbase. I do miss Abradolph Lincler, though.

I don't know if it's just that I'm using cannabis right now, but this connects with me deeply:

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
They're kinda losing me. The season seemed really short with such a long gap to get to the "finale" and what was there felt like some sort of meta walking a line between being serialized and being episodic and just got too meta in trying to justify itself. I'll still be TiVoing but the magic that made me look forward to the next show or season seems to have worn thin. They are getting too clever for my own good. I like me some snobbery in my cartoons but I don't needy a group of writers fancying themselves Pynchon. I couldn't even get through Pynchon when my grades were on the line.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I'm finally caught up.
This is the only show I daren't watch sober from the effects of cannabis because it hurts too much. But it's too dense for me to properly appreciate it high. So I have to watch it stoned twice.

Another episode I thought was great. Didn't recognize the guest voice until the credits and then I was like, "duh, of course it was."

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I still thoroughly enjoy the show. And the new season premiere was great. However, I do feel that at this point in time, I'm replaying scenes less to get a joke than I am to understand what was said/shown in regards to the huge mythology this show has built up over the course of its run. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is less laugh out loud funny and more "wait...is that a callback to the origin of Rick's friendship with Birdman?". I guess it's only natural, considering the cerebral nature of the show, but I do miss the self contained episodes full of nothing but Rick being the worst Doc Brown grandfather in history.

I don't have the brain cycles to worry about the call backs but last night's episode needed no mythology to be awesome, though knowing everyone's personalities sure helped.
