Rick and Morty: The Rickchurian Mortydate (2017)
Never trust R&M's authors
We have seen this happening before. When they advertise the trailer of the episode and you expect a self-contained adventure in Atlantis, then you get Evil Morty's return (maybe you expected something different from what was advertised, but hardly could be sure, even if it was considered the hypothesis, that they would bring Evil Morty back in that episode). There were people expecting that this episode would show Rick confronting another president (Ricks' Citadel's, not USA), then it didn't happen. So, if they're saying that third season is over, maybe it isn't. If Mr. PBH said after the episode's credits that it'll take a long time until the next episode, maybe it'll be released as soon as next Sunday or it won't take very long to, maybe airing at Christmas' eve (so it would make sense to see him with a Santa Claus' beard). Maybe these possibilities are too obvious and so it means that they're not going to happen too. Anyway, this episode was good, and I'm sure that more people would recognize it as a great episode if it wasn't a season's finale. If some people just "get schwifty" and enjoy the plot, the jokes and all the nice stuff shown in every episode, not worrying about specific expectations, then they will probably improve their experience (I'm trying to do so, sometimes it's not easy but it's also not that hard). Sometimes it's clear that the writers just want to joke around and I think that it's fine, this seems to be one of the goals of this show. It's also good that this time we don't need to wait about 18 months just to know how Rick will escape prison, for example. As a Brazilian, I've noticed that the scenes in Brazil have two very different standards as the first speech is OK and well pronounced and the other one is mispronounced and seems to be a bad translation from English. For me, it seemed to be done intentionally, as a way to show, again, that they know how to produce good content, how to make things the right way and how to give what the audience wants, but sometimes they just prefer to make another joke (remember that nothing really matters, nothing is special, let's watch TV). I think that maybe cop Morty is right and if we're going to have some kind of expectation, we should "expect the unexpected". Or just expect to have a good time watching each episode, ignoring any other kind of expectation, as this show seems to be good at surprising its viewers. I don't think that Rick & Morty would be better if it was some way more predictable or more aligned to its viewers' expectations, and let's say that this show is particularly prone to be, as there are so many theories and speculation about it everywhere. In the next episode we'll see everything happening like in season one again... Or maybe not. Maybe all we've seen this far was their holograms remotely controlled by robots that the true Rick and Morty control or even that everything was just simulated as a virtual reality game. Anything is possible. Great. At least eight more seasons, Morty.
