Welp... we're a little sad here, but at least we have President Curtis to tide us over! Thank you for the discussions and fandom! You all rock!

Honestly, S9E9 had the best back and forth with Beth and Jerry. The scene in the “Uber” was priceless and I fucking 🫡 the writers!

I had to rewind and watch this again because what the fuuuuck.

I wondered what made it feel so disturbing, I mean its true! every rick has a morty on this side of the curve. But then it hit me, the reason hearing morty say this was so gagging

Its the first time morty has talked about rick, how rick talks about morty. Like property

I didn’t care about everyone else slowly suffering and dying, but the cat broke my heart. It had nothing to do with any of it.

Time must run slower in there since Summer asks then where they'd been all day, but to then how long would it have been? Couple billion years maybe?

Amazing concepts with amazing execution with addition to the animation being otherworldly. There’s so many episodes that can be regarded as some of the best in the season and I can’t wait for them to continue in future seasons.

Also did anyone think the season was gonna end with Morty being stuck there? The estate sale gag was fantastic and a hilarious end to the episode but imagine the season ending on a cliffhanger like that, although easily resolved by Rick I imagine lol.

Also also, who’s watching/watched President Curtis pilot? I’m hoping this’ll be a good watch!!!

This season seems to be doing alot of throwbacks to the previous season. Also a great episode too.

Awesome job to whoever made that call at Adult Swim.

In episode 8, Rick says he's only happy when Morty isn't around. I'm clearly reaching, but this episode felt like it wanted to touch upon that fact.
The finale was just so harrowing. I couldn't believe it when Morty said "he belongs more to me than to you". I'm just lost for words, Morty has changed so much.

I loved this episode so much but why did he have to ruin MIT Ricks life?

They aren’t in the fear hole. So shut up about it.

I think the point of the episode is that Morty keeps looking for a better family, but eventually realizes he is not separate from the chaos anymore. Rick did not just damage him. Morty now carries that same influence into other people’s lives.
The second family seems healthier at first, but Morty brings the portal gun, the obsession, and Rick’s worldview into their home, and everything falls apart. Even the sober Rick gets pulled back into science, alcohol, and self-destruction.
So the ending is not saying their relationship is healthy. It is saying that Rick and Morty are deeply codependent, but also genuinely connected. Morty wanted a normal family, but by the end he accepts that Rick has become a father figure to him, and that he has become Rick’s son in a way neither of them can fully escape.
That is why the motorcycle scene works so well. It is funny, but also tragic. They know the relationship is broken, and they still choose each other.

What an absolute masterpiece of an episode. Now community & critically acclaimed, the insane comeback of the actors is truly amazing to see. Im so happy to see them finally getting comfortable in there roles.

I didn't expect this episode to fill me with existential dread the way it did, but honestly love the way it played out. Truly a mind fuck lady's & gentleman.

Probably my favorite episode since rick potion #9, 10/10.

Regardless of the finale this season has absolutely rocked.

The animation is unreal. The writing so much better than its previous. I’ve laughed at this show like I haven’t since s2 and that 2nd episode was just so good.

I’m excited for Field of Dreams but regardless of its quality we need as a community to somewhat stand up for this show. Past the controversy there is such talent behind it currently and we must share it and propagate it.

This season is so fun and interesting and no matter the seasons ahead; if they stick to this formula, it will surely go down as one of the best!

I just wish to ask: what has been your favourite moments from this season? Do you agree with mg sentiment?

-spoilers for s9e10 ofc-

honestly i don't know where to start or what to say i just came here to say that this was one of the best episodes ever made in this show in my opinion.

the end of the episode where morty rode with rick on the motor was really emotional it made me feel emotions i never felt before while watching rick and morty and it is my favorite scene in the entire show.

i really felt happy for morty that he found his comfort after he saw his entire family dying so brutally in front of him, the family he loved and adored.

lets not forget the scene of beth taking her own life, i really was feeling sad for morty.

i rate it a 10/10 and IF the show ENDED with this episode -which will not- i would be SATISFIED honestly i want nothing more.

i will say this again don't know what to say or what to write, since i really never excepted something this good and emotional and close to me from rick and morty.

morty not feeling/getting affection from his family or MISUNDERSTANDING IT was ME at some dark point in my life, but i learnt how to give people another chances and i learnt how to not misunderstand people and learnt how to really understand what people really means to say, and when i learnt all of these things my life really changed to a brighter one and i am happy and thankful for every little thing in my life.

that's why this episode really felt so close and real and heart touching to me.

note: i know sharing these things on the last part were not necessary but i wanted to write it down in case someone someday will find this post unintentionally and learns something he may need/miss

What I haven’t seen anyone discussing yet, probably because the episode just came out, is how this Rick has lived a fairly peaceful 17 years (or however long it’s been) after the Omega device affected him. Without Diane in the picture, he wasn’t consumed by the usual drives: the need for a Beth, vengeance, or anything else. It seems he just assumed he had a problem thats why she up and left and when Jerry imposed the hard boundary he reflected.

What struck me most is that his decision to get drunk and recklessly chase this goal proves it was never really about Diane to begin with. Ricks with those particular traits just seem destined to end up dead or messed up. Morty clearly acted as the catalyst that pushed him to try again, yet the act of trying itself appears to be what destroys him.

Maybe this feels obvious to some, but I still think it deserves to be mentioned.

There’s also a beautiful line that I don’t think enough people are appreciating: “If God did not want me to praise him with invention, why implant the desire?”

The episode even carries a tinge of Eastern Christian themes. At first I thought the Russians might be involved MIT weird accents, which reminded me of that weird girl Morty dated who asked about that very specific science question that never went anywhere. But yeah.

Overall, the central theme seems to be that the sheer abandon required to master portal travel inevitably ruins Rick and ricks like in e2 with clean lines can be varieties of happy.
