Season 9 ep2

[u/AssociationNo2208]

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.

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.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The show is still good, but at the same time, in season 9 I’d like to have some idea of where they are going, what I should be looking forward to. I understand that the way Rick is, never able to find happiness, never ending loop with his alcoholism, pushing the people close to him away constantly, etc., are all types of real issues that everybody goes through. I get from a TV show perspective, having Rick be none of these takes away from “his character”. But we still need more beyond this. We have been doing this since early in the show.

[u/Brawlerz16 → u/turn_for_do]

Absolutely agree. Mind boggling to see people say this is a 10/10. They think this is Ozymandias? This episode isn’t even Vat of Acid lol.

I’m glad people enjoyed it, I’m just bewildered at how people are overrating the hell out this episode because we had a sad boy moment at the end. If you’re not going to advance the plot or character, AT LEAST show us a new concept. It’s so unoriginal that this isn’t the first time he lost his memory (Rick and Relaxation). Hell, they couldn’t even write him losing intelligence because The Whirley Dirley already did that. We are repeating ideas

[u/KenetratorKadawa → u/Brawlerz16]

I don’t think you’re accounting for taste and personal preference in your above statement. You’re boiling it down to “sad boy moment” because that’s all you got out of it. Some might get more

[u/Brawlerz16 → u/KenetratorKadawa]

I am actually, I think I’m being very fair to the episode. If you or anyone else thinks it’s a 10/10, cool. I don’t think it’s Ozymandias and I challenge you to make that argument. Tell me why this is a 10/10

[u/KenetratorKadawa → u/Brawlerz16]

I couldn’t because I don’t see this as a 10/10 episode. I very much enjoyed it but if someone wants to rate it 10 who am I to question that? Taste is taste

[u/Brawlerz16 → u/KenetratorKadawa]

Okay so what is the point of this conversation? I’m genuinely asking because it’s already understood between us that we all have our own opinions. And I disagree with anyone who rates it a 10, that’s my opinion.

So what else? You’re telling me stuff I already know. You wanna talk about the episode or are you here to defend people’s right to an opinion which was never in jeopardy? I only wanna discuss why I think the episode is overrated
