SPOILERS

i actually loved being reminded that rick is an old man like all the stuff he did in the ep was old man stuff.

I loved rick interacting with "normal" people and the little love story plot was cute

I did feel like it referenced some movies but i cant rmemeber what. But it felt similar

Anyway! TEDDDDDDDD

we heart ted.

Better yet it seems even though "ted" is just rick with no memories it is shown he is still a genius and that is fun to see

Also love to see the pool being mentioned when did that happened. We know it was there in ep 1 so FUN CALL BACK ALREADY!!!

Oughhh i love ted / vacation rick his so fun and its so refreshing to see!

This ep is a banger and compared to ep 1 i did find myself enjoying it more

10/10 ep

There is nothing to hate about this ep like it is truly the best.

Very well written episode about how much the show still want to discover new way to exist. Aniway Rick looks like living a neverending loop that bring him back to alchol on and on again.

That’s *all* the show is though. We are in year 10+ and this is pretty par for the course for the series. It’s a well executed episode but the more I sit on it, the more I realize nothing new or interesting happened. It didnt really explore anything new, which doesn’t make it a bad episode. But like…

We’ve seen it before. We seen the toilet. We have seen Pissmaster. We have seen Toxic Rick. We seen Unity. This episode was a casserole of everything we have seen, which is fine. But nothing impressive or mind blowing

I’d give the episode an 8/10.

Why do you ask more of the show than last night’s episode, especially if you agree it was an 8 out of 10 even factoring in your “all the show is” opinion?

MOST of the show is episode’s like this with only a smattering of episodes actually advancing an overarching forward plot. You could name dozens more examples of episodes that we’ve seen not advance a plot while counting on your 2 hands any episodes that advance a connected plot. There’s 90% fun adventure and character development episodes and 10% overarching plot episodes.

I dont always need an episode to advance the plot. But I do need an episode to not waste my time because if I wanted to watch the same thing over and over again, I’d watch the Simpsons. This episode has a good moment at the end but nothing else memorable. It’s well executed and that’s it

Also you are bugging over a 8/10. A 10/10 is Ozymandias from Breaking Bad. Its Plan and Execution from Better Call Saul. The View From Halfway Down from Bojack Horseman. This episode is *not* any of them. I am not going to glaze this episode because it had a deep moment at the end lol. You’re more than free to, but I’m not.
