On one hand, Rick had one of his rare moments of clarity, apologizing for his behavior and acknowledging that maybe becoming a pickle isn't the answer to all of life''s challenges. It was interesting to see the therapy storyline end on such an ambiguous note. Sarandon's monologue about Rick's habit of disregarding anything in his life that feels like work really cut to the core of his selfish, narcissistic behavior. Wong, who didn't seem the least bit surprised to see a talking pickle waltz into her office.
Susan Sarandon also made a strong impression as the surprisingly perceptive Dr.
The therapy scenes were more mundane, but still a fun way of examining the increasingly bleak state of the family following Beth and Jerry's divorce. With all that craziness unfolding, there was never any way the B-plot was going to hold up in that regard, and it's just as well Roiland, Harmon and writer Jessica Gao didn't try. Jaguar's surprise return in the post-credits scene served as another welcome moment of zaniness, though I really want to know more about this Concerto character. Pickle Rick tearing apart a half-eaten hamburger and stapling a sliced pickle to his side pushed a ridiculous situation to even further heights. His destructive shootout with Rick was just sublime, particularly during the scene where both combatants took a breather to stitch their wounds. The show certainly made great use of guest star Danny Trejo, who voiced stereotypical, grizzled action hero Jaguar. Thankfully, not to the point where "Rickmancing the Stone" blatantly echoed the Mad Max series, but just enough to highlight the absurd nature of Pickle Rick's escapades.
RICK AND MORTY EPISODE 2 GAME SERIES
This was also Rick and Morty at its most violent, with a level of blood and gore we haven't seen since Season 2's "Look Who's Purging Now." By the time the plot shifted from the (formerly) rat-infested sewers to the embassy, it became clear that Roiland and Harmon were taking the opportunity to parody hyper-violent action films in general and the John Wick series in particular. It's not enough for Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon to throw out bizarre sci-fi premises they have to keep pushing those premises in progressively weirder and more unlikely directions. That's one of the great strengths of Rick and Morty. Thus began a weird, wonderful journey as Rick clawed his way up from the sewers, forged himself an exoskeleton out of cockroach and rat corpses and eventually waged war against an entire Russian embassy. And also fittingly, he was left to deal with the consequences of his mad science when Beth and the kids left him to stew in his own brine for a while.
This wacky odyssey captured Rick and Morty at its most entertaining and helped the new season bounce back from last week's relatively underwhelming episode.įittingly, Rick's pickle transformation was an utterly pointless one, nothing more than a harebrained scheme to save him the hassle of sitting through an hour of family therapy.
Pickle Rick was easily the most memorable of the many twists teased in the Season 3 trailers, and the end result doesn't disappoint. I don't know why the sight of Rick Sanchez transformed into an anthropomorphic pickle is so darned amusing, but it is.
