AIDS!
Definitely my favourite episode of the season so far, and probably just behind Rick Potion No. 9 and Rixty Minutes as my favourite of the entire series. Clever concept, lots of laughs, and just a wonderfully batshit crazy 20 minutes of television in general.

"AIDS!"
"What is this, 90s Conan?"
That whole Nintendo 3DS rant.
That got me good. Like I'm on board with everyone else, easily the BEST EPISODE so far. Whatever happens next week will probably not hold up, that was so funny. Also I'm weirdly shipping Jerry/Sleepy Gary forever now.

Am I the only one who felt this was the weakest of the season? I mean, I really liked it. Comedy was dead on, and the story was good. But it felt like it had something missing.... Or maybe I just wasn't a fan of what they were trying to do with this particular episode? Also... Yeah. What the hell was up with the whole Jerry/Sleepy Gary thing?

It wasn't the strongest episode but it was nowhere near bad. I found the giant heads really interesting, for some reason.
Biggest laughs for me: Jerry complaining about the paper clip in his cheek & one of the giant heads shouting "BOO NOT COOL" after those 2 underwhelming-nukes hit it.
I also really enjoyed the concept of Morty stealing Rick's portal gun and getting lost in other dimensions, I wish they had done more with that, perhaps even a full plot based around it.

I honestly liked this episode way better than last weeks episode. But I do not think it was as good as the first 3 episodes of this season though. With that being said, I enjoyed last night's episode quite alot. The B-plot with head religion was hysterical, while the main plot with Rick and Morty was entertaining, to say the least. I do feel that the main highlight of this episode would have to reside in the third act when Morty steals Rick's portal gun and has that talk with bird person. Notice how one of the pictures has Rick holding a baby Morty.... I find that interesting since Rick was supposedly out of his Beth's life for 20 years. This episode actually felt more reminiscent of an early Season 1 episode, which I found to be a good thing. It shows that the team behind making this show are always willing to go back to their roots every once in a while. But, yeah. Next week's episode actually looks interesting. Can't wait for that one.

But a reality music game show hosted by giant heads who can destroy planets and transport them to other universes while a cult forms around them? Pure Rick and Morty. That it may be.
I don't know. I guess I just didn't like this episode upon first viewing. It can be due to the overall type of silliness and my dislike of the talent show portion of it. Also the alien design is disturbing to me for some reason.
Though this season has an awesome string of episodes so far. And Keith David returned to voice another character.
Notice how one of the pictures has Rick holding a baby Morty.... I find that interesting since Rick was supposedly out of his Beth's life for 20 years. Exactly. We don't know which Morty that is.

Dude, the second episode ended with every dog on the planet leaving through a portal, the episode immediately after that had a giant naked homeless man being blown up in space. This show was ridiculously hilarious from the very beginning.

I think the pilot is quite strong in comparison to most other pilots, but if we're looking at it simply as another episode of Rick and Morty, then it's not a particularly memorable outing. I've seen it a good 5-6 times and the only things that really stick with me are the cold opening and Rick's speech at the end. Don't get me wrong, I still laugh the whole way through, and I certainly wouldn't call it the show's weakest episode (I think that title would likely go to Raising Gazorpazorp, and even that 's not a "bad" episode of television by any means), but it just can't compete with most of what followed it.

So I saw the show advertised on FOX here in the UK (along with a tonne of other Adult Swim shows), and it said season 2 starts on the 10th September.
So I checked the guide and it turns out season 1 actually starts in the UK on the 3rd September at 12am! The weird thing is though, they're starting with season 1 episode 2. Can't find the pilot anywhere. Looked further back in the guide and at different timeslots but, still, nothing.
But yeah, they're showing 2 episode a night (almost) every night, leading into season 2. Great news!
(Quick sidenote: my guide lists the show as "Ricky and Morty"
)

Last night's episode was....... Fan-Fucking-Tastic! I personally felt it was the best of the season. Even though it kinda felt like it's been done before (The whole universe in a universe thing reminded me heavily of Lawnmower's Dogs' Inception aspect), but at the same time the whole conflict between Rick and the other guy (I forgot his name) was hysterical. This episode had everything that makes Rick and Morty great. Superb Humor, Great story, and just overall greatness. It just sucks we gotta wait two weeks for the next episode.... But the preview for that one looks promising as well! Perhaps this is the stronger half of the season?

I watched one ep and have been meaning to get into this show ever since. And yesterday I had some alone time... in an apartment with Netflix and a screaming (for the US) internet connection. Then I discovered to my annoyance that R&M is not available on Netflix... <grrr>

Really cool ep, the slow ramp part at the start was my favourite.
"Really gets their dicks hard, when they see this ramp...just slooowly extending down."
Here's the episode 7 preview:

...It kinda felt like it's been done before (The whole universe in a universe thing reminded me heavily of Lawnmower's Dogs' Inception aspect)... I thought the same thing. Also, the way they kept re-using dialogue segments upon each tour of the smaller universe, only with the name of the fictional device changing each time to become more ridiculous, felt very much like the phone/couch/pizza runner from season 1.
Having said that, I really enjoyed the episode overall, and was laughing pretty equally at both plots. It really did feel like the quintessential Rick and Morty episode.
(Though I'm not really sure what that says about Beth and Jerry, given their total absence this week!)
