I was enjoying that there was no story arc this season but then I loved how the final episode tied up a lot of loose ends. Very well done. ---

Very well done. Yes! “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jedi” was a great end to the season. Loved the two Beths - the mom and the freedom fighter - and their eventual reconciliation. Glad we didn’t learn who’s the clone, and that the characters themselves don’t even care. Lots of laughs, lots of action, lots of great lines: “OK, have fun, Pumpkin! Sorry I’m a piece-of-shit father.” “So I’ll just see you at cheerleader practice. Should I bring a poncho?” “Great practice, girls! Remember, we’re in a drought, so be sure to shower as one big group at the exact same time.” “You are under arrest for crimes against the _new, improved_ Galactic Federation!” “Jerry, do you agree the use of puppets makes you seem dumb and crazy?” "I only said ‘Hey’! It’s not like I can do more than that. [later, being beaten up by alien soldiers] “We’ve been over this. All I do is say ‘Hey’!” “Jerry, do something!” “Hey.” “I don’t discuss problems; I incinerate 'em.” “Father of the Year.” _“Shut up!”_ “Wow. Naive _and_ attractive.” “Wow. Jaded _and_ hot.” “Everybody, drop your guns, except for… [Jerry drops his gun] Fucking _classic_.” “You made me go to a wedding. [shoots Tammy] And you killed my best friend. I should’ve said that one first.” “Never thought this was how I’d die. We’re nowhere near Venice and you’re not a dwarf in a raincoat.”\* “It fascinates me that an entire family can be this critical and suck this much.” “Saved the day with puppeting. Only one with a decent arc.” “Ho ho. Big money. Big money. Eyes on the lady. Switcheroo. Which one’s which…?” “Invisible Garbage Truck Jerry. It’s a new franchise!” - [Don't Look Now - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Look_Now) ---

I caught a, “Real Science” movie reference in this episode. Where the two bugs are talking, they mirror Mitch and Jordan’s conversation in the diner after they got the laser to work: Bug 1: “Why can’t I meet your parents? Are you embarrassed of me?” Bug 2: “No, of them!” Bug 1: “Awww.” Kind of an odd moment to reference, but I laughed. ---
