I don’t know much about Reddit, but I also think the whole episode was amazing. Dr. Wong was specifically amazing because she showed everyone that Rick isn’t always as clever as he might think he is AND not everyone else is stupid and/or insecure.
I thought The Old Man and the Seat totally fucking rocked. There’s a lot going on. I especially liked how Morty was clearly the knowledgable, competent adult by the end of the episode.
That was how I took it as well.
I wasn’t a fan of Pickle Rick either. On the other hand…
Number of Emmys won by Pickle Rick: one
Number of Emmy nominations for all other episodes put together: zero
I was under the impression that Rick “didn’t do” time travel. In “The ABCs of Beth,” he gets some pizzas from Arnaldo’s, which is closed for the night in their dimension, and then says, “By the way, that wasn’t time travel.”
Loved episode 1, thought episode 2 was only OK.
Third episode seemed pretty decent, overall. Only two more to go…
“Elon Tusk” had me amused until I got to the credits and found out it was actually Elon voicing him. Elon can go die in a fire.
Aw, I at least think a little better of him for being willing to voice himself - or an alternate-universe version of himself - on RAM.
Loved the Star Trek V and Raiders of the Lost Ark references in the latest episode. And a boobytrap-proof suit would come in pretty handy (although I couldn’t quite make out what the undead queen said after “Who dares disturb my sleep” and before she gets crushed - anyone?). Also loved all the twists and betrayals and flashback-reveals - a perfect deconstruction of heist movies even as Rick explains just how much they bore him. LOL. And Prof. Poopybutthole kicks, er, butt!
Favorite lines:
“Total waste of snakes.”
“More like TryingTooHardCon.”
“Let that ointment sit for ten minutes, or you’ll die. Don’t let it sit for twelve, or I’ll have to hunt down what you’ve become.”
“Labcoat: rip off Doctor Strange!”
“Your boos mean nothing - I’ve seen what makes you cheer!”
“Every breath I take without your permission raises my self-esteem.”
“You son of a bitch. I’m in.” (repeated ad infinitum)
“Let’s get ready to *not *rumble. Bet you you didn’t see that coming.”
I’m posting quick thoughts on One Crew Over The Crewcoo’s Morty without reading anyone else’s thoughts.
I loved it and thought it was the best episode of the season and perhaps one of the top 5 episodes of the whole show. Loved how it portrayed heists and how dumb those movies are. Loved everything about it. I laughed a bunch of times and will now forever be saying, “Your boos mean nothing to me. I have seen what makes you cheer.”
Something like:
“Wait. Why would anyone design a trap to crush the body buried inside the tomb?”
“You don’t shoot arrows that carry your voice without picking up a little astronomy”.
This heist episode is an unparalleled genre take down. Loved it.
It could’ve used a final double-cross where it turns out that Rick’s plan was all part of Morty’s plan to get him to leave him alone about his heist novel.
Thanks.
You posting that was part of my plan all along.
You only posted that because I programmed you to.
Because I knew you were going to do that, so I programmed you.

I am a teacher and I told my teacher friends about:
**“Your boos mean nothing - I’ve seen what makes you cheer!”

and
**“Every breath I take without your permission increases my self-esteem”

When you have a difficult class, these quotes are golden.
They are just plain, great quotes.
“Stealing stuff is about the stuff, not the stealing”
Now those are words to live by.
You son of a bitch. I’m in!
So Summer is still a magic arrow-shooter at the end of the episode?
