I'm super down to talk R&M. I've been watching religiously for the last few years. Watched all of them multiple times, even the new one that was on last night.

So far, I love all of them. This review of the pickle rick episode was extremely good and I felt like they 'got' everything in the episode that a lot of other people missed.

SPOILERS FOR PICKLE RICK EPISODE BELOW

That was a good review, in that it confirmed my own impressions O:-).

But seriously, the bit at the end about Beth increasing her own crazy has some interesting implications. I mean, it's always been obvious that the family is well and truly fucked, but this is the first real hint that they might be playing it out a little straighter than we were led to believe.

It's interesting to think about this in light of last night's episode, but it's hard to say yet whether that one was part of an overarching narrative.

Maybe Jerry's fighting against her father was keeping her grounded. Sure he's an idiot, but he's an idiot who loves his family.

Yeah that makes sense.

Same! I was originally going to post this review on Pickle Rick (it does miss that it is a turning point for Beth) to Hubski, but I think a discussion thread is probably better.
