It's like they are continually building the overarching plot but with deep questions rather than stupid side plots. This episode had way too much fan service in my opinion, chronenberg planet, rick government, etc. We get it, we've seen this all before. The good thing about the first two seasons of Rick and Morty is that the episodes were more or less stand alone, there were easter eggs hinting at an overarching plot (Which is how I think the Rick and Morty story should be), but this specfic episode had too much fan service and callbacks, instead of small hints and easter eggs. | ||

I think it had to be that way because it was continuing a story. I don't think continuing a story like that is "fan service". Granted, the after credits scene might be too excessive. There was plenty of new stuff as well. | ||

And the fake-back story and szechuan McNugget rant at the end really make you wonder about this fuckin' lunatic. | ||

I don't know I'm not that impressed, I rather have Rick and Morty wacky one off standalone adventures, with the "big stuff" being left in the background dropping hints about just how fucked up Rick is. I don't even think the entire thing was well executed, I don't mean to be debby downer, but honestly the execution was disappointing, especially for a 2 year wait | ||

It couldn't be a wacky one off standalone adventure. I think we'll see it settle down after this episode, but I think it's completely fair for season finales and season premieres to be a different style compared to the rest of the show. | ||

That's like him saying "you would have liked it no matter what" Maybe there are good reasons and i am open to the idea that i simply didn't see it. | ||

It just wouldn't have worked any other way for the season 3 premier imo and the episode itself was quite well done i think. You had to resolve that crazy cliffhanger somehow. | ||

It was emotionally comforting because it felt like even after a long break the show is still there and still has big plans for the future. Like a reassuring, optimistic wink.Also, some of the best moments in the series are "fan service callbacks". That monologue/scene where Morty points out to Summer where the bodies of that universe's Rick and Morty was buried was so morbid, insightful, and heartfelt. Probably my favorite speech in the series. I didn't care for the former scene as much because I don't tend to root for Morty. When everyone was ganging up on him and calling him an idiot in the standoff I joined them and was thinking, "yeah, fuck you morty, messing things up!!!". But he's normal, sane, and showed his humanity when he's talking to Summer. Shouldn't I like him more and hate Rick for being arrogant, petty, vindictive, etc.? | ||

I mean I get not wanting continuity, but its like two episodes of continuity in a row, a last episode and a first episode, and the creators have stated they intend to keep it mostly episodic in nature. :d I admit I'm not wrapping my head around why anyone would have much of a general problem with S3E01 (at least in the context of Rick and Morty as a series) EDIT: Also Im sad I never got to try szechuan McNugget sauce. What are the odds McDonalds does a promotion with Rick and Morty to bring it back? >_> | ||
