HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
hands down best episode this season and one of the best overall
I was laughing the whole time during that kinky dragon shit LMAO.. very enjoyable episode
One thing I'll say is that I kinda want to know what Rick and Jerry saw inside the cat's head but at the same time I don't.. It seems very very bad that even Rick wanted to kill himself!!
[7.3/10] This is an episode that has a lot of funny bits, but feels kind of incomplete and scattershot. The complications of a “dragon bond” and a realm where Rick can’t use science make for interesting story challenges, and the gags are solid, but the episode just sort of rumbles along, poking fun at various random things along the way, rather than really building to anything.
That said, the random bits are good! Rick admonishing Morty that dragons are for “nerds who can’t admit that they’re Christian” or the show managing to take down all of Bones in the span of about thirty seconds, or the dragon hording eighties memorabilia are all fun bits. Hell, I even like the soul-bonding/cheating metaphor at first. But eventually, the show goes too far with it and it just becomes a carousel of lame sexy jokes.
All the while, the A-story seems a rewrite away from having real momentum. Again there’s something almost naturally funny about the show tackling one of those “kid saves mystical realm” plots that Morty was hoping for when he wanted to do some “D&D stuff,” only to find that it’s all about dragon sexual repression. But the episode seems to be marching through a bunch of fantasy tropes in desultory fashion and throwing in a joke about sex when it can’t come up with anything else. There’s the whiff of toying around with Clarke’s laws here, and some fun sci-fi vs. fantasy nerd battles, but it’s all underdeveloped.
That said, I loved the B-story. The idea of Jerry hanging out with a talking cat who sidesteps questions about why he can talk, and who’s voiced with a Ferris Bueler-esque joie de vivre by Matthew Broderick himself is delightfully weird. All of his and Jerry’s scenes are amusingly odd, and the kicker, with Rick and Jerry being aghast at and disturbed by the cat’s origin story, is a funny place to take things. The fact that we never get to see it just adds to the humor. I even like the tag, where the dragon and the cat end up being right for their own kind of “bond.”
Overall, this one isn’t bad, but it feels way more freeform and rudderless than anything but the show’s improv episodes. Still waiting for the episode this season that will blow me away.
did not enjoy the incest soul bond but I’m surprisingly okay with Rick x dragon. The ending was very sad showing that Rick has to live with so many memories, it must weigh on his soul :(
I laughed more than any other episode so of course this one people don’t like ?
I don't know who the hell wrote this episode but he or she shouldn't be allowed to touch anything ever again. Every ounce of subtle humor that Rick and Morty as a series had left is thrown out and replaced with terrible references such as "slay queen" or some garbage rap album and drugs because that is what is cool right? Seriously whoever wrote this needs to lay off the drugs, stop listening to garbage music and get off of social media before their brain rots completely. The only remotely decent part of this episode is the side storyline with the cat everything with the dragon is cringe inducing.
did I just witness incest? :open_mouth: anyway, I'm really curious about the cat....
I want to know why the talking cat made them vomit.
Show has lost it by this point. It's not fresh - every episode is just over the top crazy with little purpose. The word "s**t" over and over again, isn't funny. Final Space is better now - has genuinely moments and feels cinematic.
That was a reference from Seven, the "what's in the box part"
One of those things that starts good but it goes on too long and the punchline is not as good as the setup
what did that talking cat do ..
exactly what I'm thinking. Did not understand anything from this episode
Absolutely one of the show's all time worst. Nothing about this one is very funny, and every original idea the episode has is just horrible. The dragon stuff is utterly terrible and everyone knows it, not a single good joke and the whole "sex dragon" thing really stinks. The talking cat stuff was slightly better, but was brought down by the odd pacing and the pretty rushed ending. Really hated this one, maybe the show's worst up to this point.
Rick and Morty getting medieval on some dragons

This is the first R&M episode that did nothing for me. The humor felt tired and most of the jokes didn't land.
Not sure if it's just worse than it used to be, or it's just not as fresh to me as it was in seasons 1-2.
