Didn't seem to be an active thread for Rick & Morty (apologies if I missed it and Mods please merge if so)
S9 has just kicked off (HBO in UK, not sure what platforms elsewhere)
Thoughts so far:
1)
2)
3) Has retained the "grey" morality well and a good level of snark
4) Visuals and pacing feel on point
5)
6)
7)
8)

10)
Solid 8/10 opening episode

Thoughts so far:
1)
Right out the gate we have a Star Trek reference - Rick describes himself as Q...and describes Q as a "Cosmic gay guy obsessed with chess" and I can't argue with it, especially after Pic S2
2)
Evil Morty is back and the back and forth with "Our Morty" has fun energy - Evil Morty is definitely working the "affably evil" character
3) Has retained the "grey" morality well and a good level of snark
4) Visuals and pacing feel on point
5)
Rick and Evil Morty's super sci fi opening battle hits the various anime/Marvel styles we've come to expect and is suitably fun
6)
Opening bad guy gets taken down SGA vs Pegasus Replicators style
7)
I'd like more of Bunker Gene in my life
8)
It is kind of required for the show's premise but Morty is back to his "woe is my, I'm so stupid" but fortunately doesn't overdo it
9)
Overall a bit light on plot but also doesn't massively need one as all the moving parts were already kind of in place to make it a fun "lets see how much sci fi tech and weapons we can fit in" episode
10)
Good use of the weird testicle time police guys "I want this kid processed yesterday" is a great line
