I rather hope things don’t go well for them, like with Walter White, for instance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your medal is in the mail. ---

“Get Schwifty” was one of my favourite episodes, though it got very mixed reviews online (to put it kindly.) I also liked the one with Tiny Rick. Has anyone here read the Rick and Morty comics? ---

I thought the 1 1/2 years thing was a joke. They haven’t actually announced anything have they? ---

No, but it was a year and a half between Seasons 1 and 2, which is probably why they used that estimate. ---

Also the best episodes of the whole series in my opinion. ---

Auto-Erotic Assimilation I think follows The Ricks Must Be Crazy and Big Trouble in Little Sanchez as best of the season. I like Rick and Morty when it does gut punches and AEA has a great one. ---
