Jason Brooks
I like the toxic episodes premise till Rick stated that toxicity isn't a thing you can measure, when you can, in fact we have about 400 years of study on it, but I get why they want to avoid walking into that because it leads to the episode not working like they want, but they should have angled it that the machine can't know how to detox every living thing so it just reads off the users personal issues. Citadel episode was charming or at the very least felt like a season 1/2 episode where the aim is to have a double/triple layer plot humor on top of the story being told.
Cooper Baker
But different societies would have different views on what objectively constitutes toxic, that was an alien spa so of course it would have to work like that.
Parker Lewis
I guess one man's toxic waste to run a portal is another man's liquid to run portal guns.
Julian Lopez
>they should have angled it that the machine can't know how to detox every living thing so it just reads off the users personal issues Did you even fucking watch the episode? that IS how they angled it you retard.
Alexander Ramirez
because it had some clever and charming moments.Rick Potion #9, Something Ricked This Way Comes, Total Rickcall, and Ricks Must Be Crazy all stood out very well for there fun with the plot elements as well as how some resolved their plot issues, however not every episode is this strong in that and many are just decent but they carry through till the next one. That was the issue with S3. First episode was jumping the Shark in a bad way where no everyone has beef with Rick not being as god like as that 1st episode, while the next 5 back to back were so disjointed and flanderized it made it to sour for the "good" episodes to carry out.
Luis Kelly
It's not. Rick stated that you can't measure toxicity, that it's a personal thing, both are false.
Lincoln Bell

>That was the issue with S3. First episode was jumping the Shark in a bad way First episode was pretty damn good what are you talking about
Evan Hall
You don't know what "Jump the Shark" means do you
Camden Ortiz
Can't really predict this episode, eh? It could be anything.
And I like the concept. It's Interdimensional Cable, but with Rick & Morty actually in the scene, so we have a reason to care beyond them just doing random goofy improv stuff.
There's got to be some kind of bigger thing at play here though, so I can only assume Morty discovers something about Rick that Rick didn't want him to remember. Maybe he's not his original Morty, maybe he's been kept at this age for decades with several memories of growth deleted, maybe he actually got with Jessica once and Rick wiped it away. Hard to say when Rick could apparently wipe any bad memory away.
Landon Miller
Doesn't it mean something went bad?
Lincoln Watson
I really really like that this season started to call out everyone on being abusive shitty people. I think it really solved a lot of the problems with season 2, which is that it was a lot of filler with no real resolution or end. We get all these hints and teases at trying to go in depth, but in the end it made the writers feel like they were lost and unable to decide if they wanted to form a cohesive story or just leave it like a Futurama type deal where they have continuity, but each episode is self contained. When you can't decide between either, it feels disjointed and poorly planned.
I like the linear continuity that they decided on, and I am having a fun time dissecting Rick as a flawed, horrible individual who pushes people to their limits. I love unfolding each family member and finding out what makes them tick. It's refreshing to finally have some of this dirty laundry aired out as opposed to sitting around and watching Rick (and sometimes the rest of the family) pull all this horrible shit and just having to accept it and move on. Now we get a reason, and a conflict around it. I loved the therapy episode where Rick gets his entire belief system deconstructed and handed back to him, because now he doesn't have a place to hide. Both grandkids realize he's a sick person with layers upon layers of issues, and watching Morty come to terms with that is super interesting.
Great season so far, can't wait to see how it ends.
Chase Foster
It means that you reach the point of no return, that nothing in the show can be that good/amazing again, that it's force to either raise the stakes over and over again or that it has to crash to mediocrity or out of character actions to keep making the show. The term itself was coined from an episode of Happy Days where Fonz literally jumps over a real shark and a critic stated that nothing could top that scene in the show and any future episodes would seem mundane in narrative in comparison.
Asher Ross
I'm wondering what memory going by the name Pocket Poo would be traumatic enough for Morty to beg for it to be wiped away
Lucas Roberts

What? Why? No there fucking doesn't Remember when Morty wanted to go the the Dance with Jessica so he bugged and nagged Rick until he made him a love serum to get her to go out with him? And he messed it up and it mutated making it spread to everyone and he just kept making it worse by accident in increasingly horrible but hilarious ways?
Why does every episode now have to be a dark character study about the deepest lore of the show? What's wrong with you people? This is why you don't laugh anymore, because you're turning a comedy into a fucking drama
Adrian Allen
>Both grandkids realize he's a sick person with layers upon layers of issues I think only Morty sees it. Summer is like her mother, seeks Rick's attention.
Angel Hill
user 'Jumping the Shark' is the moment when an established long-running series changes in a significant manner in an attempt to stay fresh. That's what that first episode did, destroyed the CoR, destroyed the Galactic Federation, removed Jerry from the family unit, everything in that one episode was just turning it all on it's head.
Blake Allen
>Why does every episode now have to be a dark character study about the deepest lore of the show? What's wrong with you people? This is why you don't laugh anymore, because you're turning a comedy into a fucking draLucky for us the show isn't trying to be a drama and is staying as a comedy
Wyatt Turner
Thats how Ricks Mind nullifier works. In the end its just a dildo machne that either pumps the memories out of his ass or pumps him full.
Nathaniel Flores
>toxicity isn't a thing you can measure, when you can You do know he isn't talking about just the actual chemical toxins that exist in the world right? He was using the word a bit more generally.
Robert Thompson
>It means that you reach the point of no return, that nothing in the show can be that good/amazing again I think it's about signifying how it's going DOWNhill, user
Nobody saw Fonzie jump over a shark and thought "wow this is the best part of the show yet!"
Ayden Lee
emotional toxicity is a thing though. Toxic relationships have an MO. There are things that are toxic in behavioral patterns that lead to self destructive behavior and even chemical imbalances.
Lucas Edwards
>has never opened a psychology book once. Proceeds to talk like he has.
Is this why our fandom is the new Bronies?
Kevin Rodriguez
Pretty sure it's Downhill or no, the idea is more tied to them having to "shake things up"
Anthony Perez
>Emotional toxicity isn't a personal thing and can be measured and quantified Can you stop your problematic mansplaining please it's really toxic behaviour
Jeremiah Hall
>emotional toxicity is a thing though I didn't know that. However, I don't think that really negates the point still. I assumed they were just using toxins as a general idea of things that are bad for you, rather than specific deals with chemical imbalances or hormones.
Where did you get any of that from? All I said was how they were using a word more generally than the specific definition I assumed user was talking about.
Gabriel Mitchell
Clogged toilet at party, pockets his poo. The poo spills out with his spaghetti. It happens, could go worse than the guess. This lady clogged the toilet, dropped the poo accidently in the window when she tried to fling it out the window, went in after it and got stuck. All that embarrassment and she got to be starring and and smelling her own shit until firefighters got her out.
Charles King
After reading your conversation, what come into my mind is that i mostly witnessed in the agencies if art director changes, they want to make it different than the previous one. And when a director position changes, many new directors like to change design, either "we need a new logo" or "the design should be uptodate" Maybe thats happening here too. Because art team or some leading position changes, they think they have to be fresh or shake things up.
Cameron Jones
>Why does every episode now have to be a dark character study about the deepest lore of the show?
Uh, you remember when Morty wanted to go the dance with Jessica, and asked Rick for a love serum that made the whole world mutated, and kept making it worse in increasingly horrible/hilarious ways?
...and then they ABANDONED THEIR DIMENSION? Your own example is one of the biggest deepest dark lore points of the show. It's been brought up numerous times since and was a big plot point in the premiere.
Granted, they could just make it a bunch of crazy adventures they couldn't stretch into 22 minutes, but knowing this show, they're going to do something more with the concept of Rick erasing Morty's memory. Look at all the things they've explored in this show, how can you say that the concept of memory (which was even touched on in the parasite episode,) isn't something they'll do something more with?
Even Interdimensional Cable 1 had Morty confessing said dimension swap to Summer and Beth and Jerry uniting over their alternate selves, and Interdimensional Cable 2 had Jerry fighting to prove he was a good person by saving the universe's MLK. The latter wasn't some big deep lore thing, but it was more than just them watching butthole ice cream commercials for 22 minutes.
Noah Richardson
mega fuck ass dudes
Connor Ward
Thats like every fandom is when they are heavily invested and there is enough lore to dissect.
>Your own example is one of the biggest deepest dark lore points of the show.
Not the other user but, what you're talking about isn't lore centered. It's just something that happened within the already astablished universe of the show. It didnt expand on anything or reveal anything new. R&M is actually rather shallow lore wise there is no deeper meanings to anything
William Morris
>Rick abandoned his daughter from C-137 and then highroads Jerry about ruining her life.
BRAVO HARMON
Samuel Stewart
That's... not the definition at all!
"Jumping the shark" isn't merely a big change in a long running show trying to stay fresh. Shows (even long running ones) can change things all they want, and it isn't automatically jumping the shark. In fact, it doesn't even need to be a change at all!
As I would assume (or at least hope) you know, the term comes from a later episode of Happy Days when the Fonz was riding along some water skis, went off a jump, and a shark popped out of the water beneath him at he jumped over it. It was so ridiculously over the top that everyone pinpointed that moment as when Happy Days was officially a broken show. It had lost its way and ventured so far into absurdity that the moment felt like self-parody.
Happy Days had changed plenty by that time, including rotating around the main characters, but the "jumping the shark" moment was NOT a change made to keep the show fresh. They didn't introduce the shark as a hip new character. It was simply a moment when the show had obviously gone way too far into an absolutely ridiculous direction. Even though it was a comedy, it had a "reality" so to speak which allowed viewers to invest in it and suspend disbelief. Having the Fonz jump over the shark broke both the "reality" and the suspension of disbelief needed for the show.
So no, all the changes at the beginning of season three of Rick and Morty were NOT jumping the shark, and to argue otherwise is to have a complete misunderstanding of what it means for a show to jump the shark.
Cameron Anderson
I'd disagree with you there, but the point is, the guy was trying to argue a humor based episode using one of the darkest episodes in the series.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a very funny episode with no lore instead of a somewhat funny episode with lore put in. But this is obviously where the show is at, progressing a larger plot whenever they can. Morty learning his memory has been wiped and what those memories are is a huge lore set up, as much as it is a comedy based one.
It's all about Rick. He specifically says "She was Rick Sanchez's daughter! She could have been something!"
He cares less about Beth being Jerry's wife and more about HIS daughter being Jerry's wife.
Dylan Watson
>...and then they ABANDONED THEIR DIMENSION? Your own example is one of the biggest deepest dark lore points of the show. It's been brought up numerous times since and was a big plot point in the premiere.
It was a joke nigger You were supposed to laugh at how casually Rick consigned the planet to a horrible fate in that dimension and waved it off with "WHAT ABOUT THE DIMENSION WHERE HITLER CURES CANCER? THE ANSWER IS DON'T THINK ABOUT IT", and laugh at how yet again Rick has ended up traumatising Morty and doesn't care
The thing is that season one made a point of making "big deals" and "shocking plot points" into disposable punchlines for the show and that was what made it hilarious and fresh, because it had as much disregard for the audience's expectations as it did for its own material and ultimately ahh fuck this why am I wasting time debating the writing of cartoons on the internet Quality is decreasing story elements are detracting from the gags family drama is detracting from the comedy instead of setting it up fuck you go outside
Benjamin Hall
Reminder that Roiland confirmed that Beth has a bestiality scene this season. It's happening tonight.
Jose Evans
Still that user is right. Rick is heavily contradictioning in his characterisation. Thats what kinda makes every episode a standalone, because the status quo is never fix.
Charles Hernandez

Jaxon Perez
>I didn't know that. learn about it because you sound like the type to fall prey to it.
Dylan Gonzalez
Since there are infinite Beths there are definitely Beths in the universe that are successful like Rick wants. And if it's HIS Beth that he's so concerned about then why the fuck did he ditch her in dimension C-137?
Christian Hernandez
no no no, the last episode of s2 jumped the shark. It was the launchpad for s3 with the notable tonal shift where Rick was suddenly NOT the invincible man that controlled the flow of every episode.
Daniel Nelson

you sure it won't be next week's episode, where Beth recounts her childhood?

Landon Johnson
>we'll be doing this instead of interdimensional cable
Good. Last one was probably the worst episode in the whole series.
Levi Hill
There is a way to measure it, it's possible, otherwise stress and anxiety are just made up ideas that people use to get attention.
Ryan Clark
haven't seen them in forever, but the current complaints seem to be that his family is more prone at pointing out Rick's flaws.
Landon James
That's because they are. Toxic emotions are subjective for the individual and cannot be measured. Granted you could measure chemical imbalances in the brain.
Are you a Phyc student or are you just riding Roilands dick hard?
Jose Rodriguez
What time is the stream usually posted around here?
Aaron Rogers
Cant remember, was s1 or s2 so heavily fetish filled? I only can remember Summer in the SexClub dream ride or the sexbot. Others were just jokes. And now, the Summer BigBoob accident, the CreepyMorty club, the WishDimensionalPortal "i wish IncestPorn would be more mainstrem" and now a bestiality scene. Which feel more like magical realm.
Jordan Gutierrez
>Original C-137 family discover a dead Rick buried in their back yard with a portal gun >They use the portal gun to track down our Rick and Morty >We later find out that our Morty has been travelling with a Rick that replaced his own since before the first episode of R&M
Please let this happen
Ethan Cooper
I get that it was a joke, but it was a very dark joke that has since become entrenched in the lore of the show.
You used a poor example. Because that episode was similarly filled with comedy and then ended on a very deep dark note. Just like Morty Mind Blowers could be a bunch of goofy memories and then end on a deep dark note.
Despite how you gave up and projected there at the end, you do have a point in regard to the idea that drama hinders comedy. I thought the show was fucked at the season 2 finale when we found out about this big federation for the first time and how Rick was their most wanted man, which led to the massive change of aliens on Earth.
Camden Jenkins
Why would ricks assumed origional dimension have a dead rick in the yard?
Kevin Collins
Because our Rick buried him there.
Julian Ortiz
You are confused sweetie
Blake Lewis
Are you okay? I think you need to reread the posts.
Asher Jackson
If you are refferencing the universe rick fucked up and mutated everyone then Jerry already broke that portal gun.
Now if your referencing the theory that rick isn't origionally from the universe we see in season 1 then why would his origional universe (c-137) his name sake, contain a rick corpse in the yard?
Either way you are wrong, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Owen Bell
What if the Rick changed places on the citadel/federation fight? The council Rick just tricked Summer and Morty to rescue him. And the original Rick is still stranded on the citadel andwas the one giving the evil Morty documents to the campaign Morty? Or where else should he know that president Morty is the evil Morty? and came and go like he pleased?
James Reed
>What? Why? No there fucking doesn't
The episode description kind of hints at it.
>Morty's memory is restored. For this reason, we finally learn the truth in this episode.
Of course the "truth" revealed could be something completely pointless and inconsequential. Doubt they'd lay on too much plot this episode, the bomb dropped last week was big enough. Would make more sense that they're just fucking with fans this week.
Guess we'll see.
Nathan Kelly
Dang, that's a lot of dildos
Luis Anderson
>If you are refferencing the universe rick fucked up and mutated everyone then Jerry already broke that portal gun. Wow, you are confused. The universe Rick fucked up IS C-137. And the portal gun they destroyed was from the universe they moved to. >then why would his origional universe (c-137) his name sake, contain a rick corpse in the yard? Because our Rick arrived with him already dead or he killed him himself and took over the family. That was the whole point of my post.
Christian Long
I'm not even that user but even I got what he was saying. >Now if your referencing the theory that rick isn't originally from the universe we see in season 1 then why would his original universe (c-137) his name sake, contain a rick corpse in the yard? You mong. C-137 IS the original universe from season 1. He's saying that our Rick isn't actually from C-137, and took the place of that Rick and buried him in the lawn, and has been there ever since before the show started.
Joseph Williams
anyone got a link to the stream?
Isaiah Lewis
>dead Rick buried in their back yard with a portal Again you stupid fucking nigger, why would the season 1 universe have a dead rick burried in the yard you vapid cunt
That's what im refferencing you cretin, additionally, Rick left Beth 20 years ago, he wasn't just standing around in the garage to be blown to smitherines. He probably abandoned her to move to the citadel or something stupid that the show will never even bring up and we are all waisting our time thinking about it.
Aiden Kelly
> why would the season 1 universe have a dead rick buried in the yard you vapid cunt Because our Rick buried him there for any number of reasons. This is not a hard concept to grasp user.
Nathaniel Powell

Nicholas Bennett

Gavin Rodriguez
Y'get it?
Daniel Morris
Man ugh, come on please. I only watch this show for mild amusement and not to dig deep. There are context clues and outright dialouge that says rick left beth 20 years ago (gone. Not there. Not coming back.) He probably left to go the the citadel as many infinate ammounts of ricks have. Our rick then shows up and just assumes the position of old rick without any murder or schemes. Background clues shows us that our rick shows was there to raise a morty on one universe or another but according to beth only recently came back into her life. He came to season 1 universe and just assumed his place. No where is is stated or even suggested that he killed and burried another rick
Ryder Sanders
>He came to season 1 universe and just assumed his place. No where is is stated or even suggested that he killed and burried another rick user was just stating a what if scenario. No one said it was going to happen.
Hunter Murphy
C-137 is the Cronenberg/Mad Max world
Michael Wood
Yeah I know, I was implying that the Mad Max'd up family discover their real dead C-137 Rick with a portal gun in the yard. Revealing that our Rick hijacked the C-137 universe from before Rick & Morty even began. And that our Rick is not in fact C-137 Rick.
Wyatt Brooks
Okay man you can write fan fics just don't be like believing your own shit

I tried switching up the music in the last episode. Final scene works really well with the sept explosion tune from GoT: youtube.com/watch?v=8zF1toKC_T4
Oh Jesus, that happened my town. I hope thats not what we end up being known for.
Colton King
Not bad, but the music is overpowering the voices.
