Rick and Morty -- the new animated show from Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland

They seemed pretty well-adjusted to their new situation - they might not want to be “rescued”

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.

I see it was: Tricia Lange | Rick and Morty Wiki | Fandom

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!”

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.

“Real Genius” - I noticed that too.

Dammit, thanks.

Now that the second half of S4 is complete… my rankings:

“Never Ricking Morty” C
“Promortyus” A
“The Vat of Acid Episode” B+
“Childrick of Mort” D
“Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri” A

How would you rank the season?

For me, the main “classic one” of the season was One Crew over the Crewcoo’s Morty, one of the best episodes they’ve done.

Yes, that was a good one, although I wasn’t quite as impressed as you.

“Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat” B
“The Old Man and the Seat” B+
“One Crew over the Crewcoo’s Morty” A-
“Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty” C
“Rattlestar Ricklactica” B

Came in to post the same thing, EH; I think it looks good.

WOOT!

Thanks–that was amazing. Weird to see the mash-up of anime and R&M styles!

Somebody done knifed Summer.

Glad she wasn’t too badly hurt. And thanks for the link, SB!

Film Theory: Rick is a Morty CONFIRMED!

The video in my link relates to the video that Bo linked to.

Thought the bump would be about this.

That’s some click bait headline right there. “Morons call for a show to be cancelled” has been happening since the 1930s.

Happy Ricksgiving, beyotches!!!
