It did not bother me at all how sex-positive this episode was. It was over the top, which is in line with the series.
The whole plot with the portal and time skipping was typical R&M fare. I quite enjoyed it.
This show never really dropped off for me. It’s not as fresh as it was in the first two seasons, but it’s still thoroughly sharp and entertaining. I like that they’re playing around with side characters (Jessica).

loved it. the Huvvy (?) bloodline gets so fucked up yet got so crazy at the end with the AI style robots. probably will do a rewatch of the previous seasons over the weekend too since it's been a while.

I enjoyed the episode. It was just another nice Rick and Morty episode. The animations are definitely the most improved aspect of the show.
Though it seems like there is something missing and I am not sure what it is.

Yeah. Season 4 was getting too meta for its own good.
And I like episodes that advance canon, so there's also that.

Decent episode, and better on a second watch... but...
I can't escape the feeling that its got a touch of what I'd call "The Dr Who syndrome." Basically they've become enslaved by the need to have some sort of new and epic high concept every episode. While this is a sorta noble aim, the need to continually replicate and top what they've done in the past is really starting to get in the way.
Its alright to have simple scenarios and storylines so long as its still funny. Work with the characters more so the high concept will pay-off bigger, just being clever isn't the point.

I'd say that applied to season 4 a lot
This was a simple scenario executed well. Rick does My Dinner With Andre, Morty does Narnia

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
The first episode of season 5 was one of the weakest of the series, but I still enjoy seeing Morty get cockblocked.

I really enjoyed the second episode.
The premise was great and all of the pop culture references were funny.
The after credits scene was one of the best in the show.

Yeah idk what people were disappointed about.. that shit was hilarious.
Having Rick's nemesis be a flamboyant Aquaman/Namor was genius.

You're right. I've rewatched it several times since then and now I really enjoy it.
I don't know... maybe because I watched it on YouTube on my laptop that I didn't think it was as good the first time.

Is episode 2 on youtube?

Hmm episode 3 wasn't very entertaining.
The b-plot fell flat and took away way too much time from Morty x Planetina.

Agreed. As far as romance/consequences/absurdity/pathos plots go, it wasn't very deep. They've done it a lot better in the past, like the hive mind episode, or the time crystal episode, or the love potion episode.
Agreed that the b-plot was lacking and also took too much time from Morty's plot, which needed a lot more development. Starting the episode where Morty has already met Planetina and everyone accepts that she's a normal thing that exists on Earth for the past 40 years was a little jarring. Planetina's heel turn was as nearly underdeveloped and out of left field as in Game of Thrones. I can understand the logic of Planetina's actions, but it felt more plot driven than character driven. I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to understand that this is a natural consequence of killing her kids, and that although they were fuckers they were actually keeping Planetina from going off the rails.
Speaking of which, what the fuck happened to the rings? Wouldn't Morty be technically controlling Planetina since he has all the rings? I feel there's a missed opportunity for some Sauron "unite the rings under one ruler" or Mandarin type shit, but they did nothing with the rings.

I agree. Every time we moved away from Platina and Morty, I was bored.

Even though they really don't touch on time travel at all Rick and Morty has successfully satisfied my thirst for a new sequel to Back to the Future
I highly recommend this show for anyone whose waited decades for BTTF4
Rick is Doc Brown and Morty is Marty, 100 percent
and thats a good thing

Episode 3. Bizarre. Pacing was all off and barely a single decent joke in the entire thing. As much as I love Rick, Korvo and the gang on Solar Opposites are way funnier.

I keep hearing good things about that. I should check it out.

I mean, there's plenty of good stuff in there. The show never went off a cliff or anything. You're in for a treat.
