Rick and Morty S5 |OT| We Still Don't Know Why The Cat Can Talk
- Thread starter Z-Beat
- Start date
- Entertainment OT
I liked that their relationship ended over how many people it's ok to murder and the justifications behind it.
So Morty's now had two super-powered girls walk/fly away at the end of the episode this season.
There's no way that's not coming back.

I thought it was overall one of the worst episodes in a long, long time. Especially the whole Rick and Summer thing has been "done".
Morty going ham was indeed one saving grace, but we have seen that before too.
I really liked the Morty storyline, and the kids being all grown up was a great unexpected twist. Rick and Summer felt a bit flat and one note for me.
Overall, I enjoyed it, but off the back of two amazing episodes, I can see how some people were disappointed.
Genuinely surprised that the last episode left its emotional beats intact instead of undercutting them with humour. This felt like the first episode since season 2 that had some real heart to it. Good stuff.
So, do you think this season they're making a group of enemies to fight them at the season finale or something?
I realized on reflecting all three episodes so far, Season 5 has side characters in every episode so far who start off as friendly enough, which by the end are on bad terms with the Smith family or members of the family, but nothing really happens to them and they kinda' just are put to the side for the moment.
In episode 1 we have Mr. Nimbus.
In episode 2, we have Somebody Hunt Me
In episode 3, we have Planetina.
I'm going to keep tabs on the episodes coming up in this season to see if this trend continues, but I just was thinking about it, and I'm wondering if it's a conscious thing they're doing in the season leading up to something? Just a theory, no way to tell for now, to see if this trend continues through the rest of the season or not.

Previous seasons had others do this like Supernova who just slipped out through the crowd. Seems like they're either building up to something like this or they just like keeping these characters in the R&M universe for if they ever need them again.
The best jokes were the little throwaway gags.
"I am a unique character and do not represent any particular group of people!"
Summer being grossed out after swimming through the alien orgy.
Also had a real nostalgic moment when I saw the episode was written by Rob Schrab. Took me a few minutes to place the name, but then I remembered: SCUD THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN!

Jessica didn't seem evil though. Just completely warped by existing for so long.
If you're familiar with Harmon's work, Schrab is a pretty constant presence. He directed tons of Community and Sarah Silverman episodes.
I'm not sure Morty has ever officially had sex with a real person. Sex doll in Gazorpagorp, him getting mermaid puss was only theorized as an offshoot, and Planetina is an mish-mash of spiritual powers shaped into an living entity.
If you don't count his partner during the save reset episode you get into the territory of which morty morty is.
Easier to just say he has fucked.
Was it? I only remember Nemesis being "What if Batman was an asshole?"
The lead character artificially inseminated a woman with her brother's sperm.

The episode had some funny ideas and the comedic tension of Morty's secret was great, but I don't know about the final two-thirds after the reveal. Is it just me, or did it feel a bit off?
Like some dialogue bits way overstayed their welcome, the overly self-congratulatory verbal irony, the weird focus on unsatisfying bit characters. It was the first time this show stylistically felt like an episode of Family Guy, and that's nothing even to do with the crassness of the plot.
