Stay in the fucking car!
Oh, thank god it was good and funny. I was getting worried)
[7.6/10] I liked the A-story on this one for its sheer comic madness. Rick and Morty is particularly adept at taking broad genre tropes like the Terminator-esque time travel tale, and take it to insane extremes. Filtering that kind of story through a planet of space snakes was especially amusing (in the same vein as fellow Adult Swim stablemate Robot Chicken’s parody of Law and Order using only chickens). Little touches like the time cops coming back, or Snake-braham lincoln were particularly enjoyable. There’s not much to this one, beyond some time-dilating shenanigans, but it was still roundly enjoyable.
Still, my favorite part of the episode was Jerry’s B-story. The throughline of him trying to prove himself as capable and manly and not needing to be saved by Rick works as a character motivation for him. And the notion of him being slightly lighter than air, while also being weighed down by his shoes, is an appropriately bonkers problem for him to have to tackle. The increasingly absurd lengths he goes to not to ask for help, the increasingly ridiculous issues he faces as part of this particular predicament, and the fact that he still injures himself putting up holiday lights regardless, all cracked me up. This is an all-time Jerry story.
Overall, this is mostly candy for the mind rather than the deeper or more overtly clever stuff that this show is capable of, but I’m not complaining!
The Terminator sequel we need, but the one we don't deserve.
The snake Hitler time traveler pileup was pretty great
Probably the best episode this whole season.
Superb chapter. Best of the season so far.
Another good episode. This one reminded me of earlier seasons, but it still doesn’t have that real classic R&M feel to me yet. Story wise it’s getting there but the gags and the character development still seems weaker 8/10
I really hope they're not gonna wait a few months before airing the second half of the season. I can't bear to wait that long.
The :snake: civilisation story was perfect. Didn’t care about Jerry’s side story at all. But who does, right?
Totally loved this episode! :rofl::joy::rofl:
at the very end of the episode when Rick said to Morty ;
"oh yeah thanks for reminding me, Morty next time, STAY IN THE CAR !"
I laughed hysterically and played that sequence on repeat way to many times.
This one was alright. The snake stuff was good conceptually and became a really funny commentary on time travel, with Jerry's plot being a much needed small scale story. Both plots were pretty well formed and had plenty of funny moments. Some of the snake planet jokes got a little old, but not enough to seriously damage the episode.
I was a bit disappointed when I found out that there's no Battlestar Galactica theme involved..more of a Terminator style..but still a good episode.
Too many snakes in this one. Snakes mostly boring. More RIck needed.
Snake jazz and Jerry screwing up Christmas lights amusing.
