    Yeah, I was really disappointed when I read the others saying it was a disappointment, but I finally saw it and actually really enjoyed it.

    So this is really late but i've only started watching the show recently

    What are the odds that Mr. Meeseeks "Look at me" is a a bit of an easter egg to J.D/Zach Braff in the show Scrubs in this scene (0:16)

    I mean they're both blue with weird hair and the tone is similar
    Plus Sarah Chalke who plays Elliot on Scrubs is the voice actor for Beth

    I really wanna believe

    The finale was quite enjoyable, but that the President in its synopsis wasn't Evil Morty was a little disappointing.

    I think everyone is expecting too much. You get thrown this bone, and that's all you can think about. The ending wasn't all it could have been, but at the same time, at least we got a third season. Seems like this show is going to be slave to the creators method, and not really the fans, considering that apparently a lot of the fans are garbage. I'd just watch it play out.

    The show's episodic in nature, there is no clear continuation of one plot point. I like that. I'm not going to argue that a plot point from another episode wasn't brought up in the "finale" but at the same time, I know that its going to crop up again in the future. So, just look forward to that.

    Rick and Morty always had this big thing of suggesting the world in the show was infinitely bigger than could ever be shown, with adventures between episodes, other dimensions, and other Rick & Morty teams having adventures off-screen. Unresolved plot points don't really feel like a big deal here - every episode has jumping off points which suggest a larger plot and aren't explored.

    Honestly it's one of the strengths of the show. We get shown lots of glimpses of possible plots, but it's not a monster of the week format which is profoundly unsatisfying. It's more like a highlights reel of character and world moments. Quite a few episodes would be better finales than most shows on the air end up with because of this.

    Yeah, that is one of the good things about Rick and Morty, yet they broke that format for this finale. Instead of leaving the episode 9 plot point open ended, and return to it later, we were clubbed in the head with it for the sole purpose of returning the status quo back to season 1. I was so annoyed that it wrecked my enjoyment of the episode. Then, add in the fact that this was basically Pickle Rick 2.0, an episode I don't care for, and you have the least satisfying end to a much anticipated season. I don't need random, pointless, spectacle fights just because they've now got the budget. I enjoy the character moments more. I didn't enjoy the character moments in the finale. It was an okay episode but finales are held to a higher standard. They are the payoff for what the season has been building towards.

    Honestly, I love this show, but Pickle Rick just makes me think of this:

    Really sad to see the end of the season come about, but I'm hyped as hell for more Evil!Morty in S4.

    It's...well made. Like, oddly well made for a fan made animation project. -

    Props to the the guy/girl/team that developed it.
