Rick and Morty - Look At Me!!

Pages

I do hope people realise im quoting the show.

First episode of Season 6 is one of the stronger season openers of the series, they’re definitely doubling down on resolving all the loose ends so they can start fresh. I won’t spoil it but one thing in particular I was surprised they bothered addressing because it was basically a season 2 easter egg.

I heard there are a lot of callbacks. I wonder if I should just start over and watch all the previous episodes to catch up. The problem is I think I only have a couple weeks to watch the new episode on the Adult Swim site before it goes away.

If you’ve watched the end of last season that should be good enough to have a handle on things. It directly picks up where last season ends and while there are callbacks, most of it is just background stuff and they make a point of explaining the only important one that is obscure enough that you might not remember it.

cross-posted from the cartoon thread:

Adult Swim just announced that they’re firing Justin Roiland, but that Rick & Morty will continue without him. Not certain how that will work out since he voices like 60% of the characters, but I’m still glad that Adult Swim did the right thing.

Wasn't the bad one Dan Harmon. Odd that he is the one still around. I would say now might be the time to retire Rick and Morty because the show probably can't survive a change like this, but it needed to be done.

Harmon got in trouble for creep behavior and unwanted advances towards one of his writers on Community but publicly owned up to it afterwards, Roiland is facing a felony domestic violence conviction and dozens of women have come forward with accusations ranging from grooming of underage fans to sexual assault.

This American Life did a really great segment on the Harmon debacle. He is probably the only figure in the #MeToo era that walked away with some grace.

I cannot say the same for Roiland, based on what I've read I'm glad they're kicking that guy out. R+M can survive without him, and I'm interested to see how they handle a recast.

I heard someone saying they were having try outs for replacement voices and they were happy with the results but then they would say that. I can see the show working with new voices and at least it’s the kind of show where they could have entirely different voices and easily find a funny way to explain it away.

Edit: Season 7 trailer with new voices. I can just about tell they’re different but it’s barely perceptible. I doubt I’ll care ten minutes into the first episode.

Also, great trailer.

I recently started this. Holy sh*t it's good. I love Community so I should have known

Episode 9 may be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Enjoy the ride! I'm considering rewatching the whole thing before the new season starts. It's been a long time since I've watched the early stuff and they tend to have callbacks that I never remember.

Yep, enjoy! I could do to rewatch those early seasons.

Welcome to the club, pal.

Season 7 has started on Channel 4. One episode at a time, which I find a bit annoying, but waiting until every episode is available isn’t an option.

1 episode left of season 2 for me. Trying to enjoy them one or two a day and not blaze through. Some great stuff this season.

Total Rickall was amazing. Probably my fave from the season. Guess I can't fully say yet unless the finale is great.

The B plot of Summer waiting in the car in The Ricks Must Be Crazy was spectacular too.

The 2 new voice actors seem pretty good. Rick is mostly indistinguishable, Morty might have sounded slightly different but it was hard to tell because he only had a couple lines this episode.

Oh yeah I finished season 3 this week. Many they really go all out for finales. And premieres I guess. Didn't particularly love the twist for S3 premiere since they played it so different in S2 finale, but whatever.

Pickle Rick was insane and awesome.

The election was fantastic and a smashup of other show and movie references.

Summer: Scenario 4. Hah.

Selfie with the president, jeez.

Jerry's alien girlfriend.

Wild how much was in 10 episodes. On to S4.

I’m enjoying season 7 so far. The Spaghetti planet was a highlight.

In the midst of S4 now and wow, Rattlestar was something.

Like just all of Terminator out of nowhere. And Christopher Walken. I really didn't think it was going to work with just hissing and no subtitles, but somehow it did. Damn.
