That was the best damn April Fool ever. People weren’t bothering to click on the links because they were sure that it was a prank. ---

And here I’m just flipping through the channels and decide, on a whim, to watch the new Samurai Jack. And why is there a R&M rerun? And why haven’t I seen this episode before? Not sure what was going on at the end of the episode. I get that it was a callback to an earlier episode, but I think Rick’s brain might have indeed gotten a bit liquified. ---

I get that it was a callback to an earlier episode, but I think Rick’s brain might have indeed gotten a bit liquified. If you’re talking about Rick screaming in Morty’s face about the McNugget sauce, it’s a callback to the end of the pilot episode. Rick yells at Morty in a similar fashion while he’s convulsing because of the mega seeds. ---

FYI If you are itching for new Rick and Morty and don’t want to wait for the end of the month , I have been reading the Rick & Morty comic (the first two Trade paperback volumes) and it is well done. The same sensibility as the show but new adventures. Not every story is a home run but it is good (so far) and worth checking out if you are a fan of the show. ---

I got the sample free comic issue from few months ago, loved it. I’m still loving the preview where the song intro goes “Bonkers” to introduce the new scenes. 😛 The Rickmobile is passing though several cities, and I’ve seen some bought toys go on Ebay for triple the price. The best souveneir was the Rick and Morty car windshield screen. 😛 ---

Well, tonight’s episode was _dark_. I guess it works as a comedic look at how divorce changes family structures and all, but damn. Summer’s turn was especially shocking, how easily she adjusted to being a brutal killer while Morty still feels guilt for the murders he’s committed. Favorite moments: - The Morty-bot becoming self-aware - “Shoot the Mohawk guy!” “They ALL have Mohawks!” - The scene in post-apocalyptic Seattle, with the Pike Place sign and the Ferris wheel - The whole scene with Summer and Jerry where they bond over their mutual nihilism - The feral dog that is nourished by Jerry’s despair, and the whisper in the wind crying “LOSER” - The Strunk & White reference, complete with wink-and-nod to the audience Things have taken a squanch for the schwifty now that Rick and Morty are back. ---

> [@That\_Don\_Guy](#): > > I think I missed that one - was that the “You mean ‘dictionary’?” line, and if so, what exactly was it referencing? Before sending Morty to create his distraction, Rick asks the assorted killers etc. about the “Thunderdome”, to which one responds, “You mean the _Blood Dome_?” Rick answers, “Save it for the Semantics Dome, E.B. White.” I rewound to enjoy that a few more times. ---

How I missed this show, even with the reverse-April Fools Day episode we got. Agreed Ep2 wasn’t one of their better ones, but I’m really looking forward to their “dark” season. Oh the horrors and great sci-fi to come. I can feel it in my plumbus.
