SPOILERS

Im surprised they were able to get away with a 14 yr old sleeping with an adult. Wow.

Also I hate when R&M gets all melodramatic, with licensed music and stuff. Just stick to comedy.

It was great. They've done the Morty sleeping with an adult thing before though. Season 2 maybe?
Rick came and grabbed him Jessica and he wouldn't let the lady keep the little Voltron thingy.

She seems the same age as Jessica and all the other girls in the school with Morty. Also Morty got with adults already in the detoxified episode.

If she was split into the rings you could also argue she's only been a complete thinking being for around Morty's age.

I watched it on Hulu and it showed a little piece afterwards about what the creators wanted with the episode (idk if it also showed on TV).

anyway, they wanted Morty to break someone else's heart this time around, yet still feel the guilt from it, and have Beth portrayed more as a caring mother, since that generally isn't her thing. and that's why the episode was pretty serious at parts, since using humor to ease the tension would have lessened the overall impact, or something like that.

But when the "kids" summoned her, she popped in to existence with Morty. That would imply that she lives in a kind of pocket dimension.

I love how Morty is starting to go off the deep end. He's had to deal with Rick's shit for so long that he doesn't want to take shit from anyone else.

I mostly agree. Watching the end of the episode and then seeing the writers talk about it, if felt very much like "we're so smart" outlook. They are much better with comedy and working against tropes, so they should work with what they're good at.

Yeah, Planetina *looks* like she could be Morty's age, but the Planeteers all look to be in their 50s: in other words, she's existed 30-50 years, assuming she didn't exist before then.

If I remember correctly, they both weren't conscious.

Planetina said they were manifesting her since the 90s.

Exactly. Im so used to seeing them work against tropes, as you put it, that it feels really weird to see them do something rather predictable and sappy.

I prefer when the show subverts my expectations.

The story was good, but it's weird how Morty has killed dozens of people for love (death crystal episode) and yet he somehow cares when it's Planetina?

He's also lost love before in the vat of acid episode when Jerry reset his relationship with that girl he held the door open for.

Iunno, it simultaneously feels like this is and isn't the C137 Morty. It'd be insane if this was, like, a backstory for evil Morty.

Mortys been getting more corrupt for awhile now. He was designed to be the straight man of the series, and Ricks moral compass, but hes nothing like that anymore.

I think thats why they team him up with Rick less now, because hes so extreme in his own right, that the initial dynamic doesnt work like it used to.

It's because he is still young and vigorous, where as Rick is old and nihilistic.

Also, Rick is sloppy, lazy, and all-around complacent. Morty and Summer are both more humble and vastly less self-loathing.

Honestly that makes sense. It makes so much sense, that it should be canon.

Yeah but it's obviously a spoof of Captain Planet, which had fire, earth, wind, water, and heart.

I think Jessica just went crazy. Also can you imagine spending like, 100 years, conscious yet completely immobile?

That had to be like torture. She couldnt even close her eyes.

Beth and Jerry are really bad parents. Like, to let your daughter go out on a weekend long sex binge and your son bang an adult while under your roof.

Yeesh.

Summer is 17, isn't she? What was Jerry supposed to do, physically restrain her?
In any case, I loved the look they share after Summer and Morty leave, then Jerry sighing and saying, "I'll get the wine."
Part of parenting is accepting that you can't control everything your kids do: they're going to do dumb, dangerous stuff that could get them hurt and sometimes that's the only way they learn.
Especially when their grandpa is Rick.
