I've watched this four times already, every time I see something new. Maybe it's just Dan Harmon's sheer genius, but I haven't been that satisfied with a TV episode since the series finale of Breaking Bad.
I think the fact that we waited so long is making me give it a slightly higher grade.
Though I must ask: can I play Rick, Laser, Scissors right fucking now?
I'm really trying to find something negative to say about the season premiere just to balance all the amazing comments before mine. But alas, I cannot find a single one.. the show is amazing! It touched perfection and I cannot wait for the rest of the season
After a long time relieved to know what happens next after one hell of a cliffhanger. Can't wait to watch the rest of the season.
They actually dropped a surpirse episode on April Fools. I love these guys. And it was a brilliant episode! I'm excited for the rest of season.
9 more seasons! hahaha I liked this Community "Six Seasons and A Movie" parallel
[8.6/10] One hell of a premiere and one hell of a surprise. It delivered what I want from a show like Rick and Morty -- crazy, imaginative, absolutely insane sci-fi experimentation and adventure, with dark introspective emotional and character material to support it. The bits of the sci-fi weirdness, from Inception-like brain journeys to transferred consciousness to battles between disparate forces in space were colorful and mind-bending the whole way through.
But what I really loved about this episode was how it asked (and maybe answered) the question I was left asking at the end of the last episode -- what motivates Rick Sanchez? Is he a hero, as Summer thinks, a demon or crazy god like Morty thinks, or somebody whose motivations are just so opaque and arbitrary that he more or less defies that sort of characterization? The episode seems to give a troubling answer, one that pulls away from the way Rick was softened over the course of S2, but it spends most of the episode teasing you in either direction, making you think he's a hero or on an opportunist or an amoral crackpot or just a complicated guy.
I'm not sure I'm any more clarified on what he wants or what kind of guy he is than I was before (and Morty clearly still has its issues), but I love the way the show leans into that complexity, even amid the crazy science fiction wonderment and disaster taking place all around.
On the whole, this was one thrill of a surprise premiere that sets the stage for the rest of the season, changes enough of the status quo to make things meaningful, and delivers another exploration of what makes Rick tick, and how that affects his grandchildren, without giving any easy answers.
And I'll go out and I'll find some more of that "Mulan" Szechuan teriyaki dipping sauce Morty...
It's streaming right now on loop until midnight! http://www.adultswim.com/videos/streams
