None of the characters even sounded nor acted like themselves. Rick was a ruthless a-hole the entire time and never showed an ounce of caring. Rick always ACTS like a dick but actually cares. This felt like a completely alternate cast of characters.


This was the only episode solely written by Harmon. I think Harmon has lost touch of what the show is and has let his own bitterness consume him. I think this finale compared to the whole tone and feel of the other episodes had to be what Justin and Dan fought about.


I havnt seen it but thinking back to previous episodes and ESPECIALLY the truth of the previous 3 seasons that some guy on youtube broke, maybe this episode being the way it was means you should be looking more into it and not just taking it at face value.

there is no "secret underlying plot"

that was a red herring to elevate an already regarded as "smart people" show into an even "deeper" level.

I'm the biggest R&M fan there is, but cmon.

This show started out as a suck my balls joke about Back to the Future. It's not some super deep show because they have alternate dimensions and a new existential crisis every week. That shite was done 20 years ago with Sliders or Quantum Leap. What it has been is consistantly super fricking funny and hilarious. It had it's own charm and brand of humor to it. I feel like S3 that was absent and the writing seemed very forced. It had it's moments but they were few and far between. They were replaced with long monologues from Beth or Summer.

Think about this:

The entire season revolved around a divorce in a show where the title characters have already abandoned their original family as least twice that we know of, probably more. Does that make any sense? No, it doesn't. In fact it's opposite of the over arching plot they were building which was basically Rick & Morty going on adventures.

They took 2 years to pump this shitty season out. Every delay (much like video game fans say) was met with "they are taking time to make it right, to make it a better show." "Animation takes time" (i know SP is a different beast but they put out a newepisode in 6 days, don't give me that it takes too long shite, I know its a totally different process but still)

It took them 2 years for 10 episodes of an animated show. Stuff leaked and was later dismissed about Roiland and Harmon not getting along, but it sure seeps out of the season now looking at it as a whole.

Then if you even discuss your opinion like I do, you get called out for being toxic and spoiled.

It's the opposite, I'm a huge fan of this show and I just expected the same level of quality after 2 extremely consistent opening seasons. Nothing more.
