Did Dan Harmon get back with his wife? He is back to having a happy vanity card. ---

I’m not sure what was more out-there in this last episode - the revelation that dragons are all total sluts, or that Jerry’s talking cat apparently was responsible for some sort of genocide. ---

All the discourse when a dragon would wander in was great. “Who the fuck are we?? Who the fuck are you???” “The man with the pony tail speaks true.” ---

I’m with Rick on that one. It’s basically our world with a required physical fitness program. Get over it, battery. ---

Except he destroys the microverse that Zeep created, killing all of the aliens therein. And by extension the microverse with the tree people in it. That’s like, a genocide within a genocide, man. ---

Definitely a visual episode last night, and a bit christmassy, as the last one of the season. It does strike me as a possible troll, and there’s more to come, I wasn’t of that opinion at the start, it didn’t strike me as any sort of finale. I had to turn on the subtitles to see if the snakes stuff was being translated. I’m wondering if it was on any broadcast (I got it from a non standard source). ---

Part of the snake episode had a very 70’s TV movie of the week feel. I appreciate that. ---

Snake episode by far best of the season. So much crammed in. ---

Rick: “Swallow this centipede so you won’t have to go.” Morty: “I ain’t swallowing no centipede!” Rick: “What, you think it wants to eat your pee? You’re not the victim in this transaction.” ---

Getting back to the Dragon ep some…I’ve heard people say its the worst ep yet. Which is ridiculous. The quoted exchanges above alone make it hilarious. All the Dan Harmon stuff as a wizard was great. Some people on YT have tried to figure out what Jerry and Rick saw in the cats head. I don’t think there actually is an answer. Maybe they saw what was in the Pulp Fiction briefcase. Regardless, clues offered are: The cat likes Florida Jerry mentions he has pictures of his parents in the house. Old people like Florida I want to add my own: Cats will just sit and watch you no matter what freaky ass sex thing you are getting up to. No judgement. And a lot seem like they would have little reaction to an ongoing genocide or even seeing their ‘owner’ getting killed. So MAYYYYBEEE the cat was witness to some alien-on-old age home resident sexual slaughter? Death by Ooggiedeboogedy?? And maybe the aliens gave the cat the ability to talk and told it to spread the story far and wide?? And cats being cats, “Whatever. I just wanna be warm and have fun.” Still don’t think there’s a real answer. Not even THAT I think would make Rick think about killing himself to get it out of his head. ---

> [@Dr.Colossus](#): > > Snake episode by far best of the season. So much crammed in. Agreed. Who would have thought that an episode in which much of the dialogue is untranslated and unsubtitled would be so funny? ---

P.S. That was a reference to the Adam Sandler movie “Click,” right?
