I think that's the point of the episode: What now? Rick got what he wanted, but the revenge was hollow. The show is honestly gonna explore it, and I can't wait to see where it goes. I want to see more of that nexus plane Evil Morty lived in, with all the other multiverse travelers like the Jetsons clones that kept killing each successive version of themselves.

Oh man, Eyepatch Morty origins! And finally fighting Prime Rick! Man, that beatdown of Prime Rick was incredibly brutal. Now what? Apparently, next week Morty tries to cash in on his Morty Adventure cards. Wow, Slow Mobius came back just to reveals he's Rick's Uncle...and then die.

I liked the absurdity of Stewie putting a minifridge in his room turns it into a college dorm room, with French-Canadian roommate. And then his party turned into the ending of The Shining for some reason. I liked the absurdity of Danny DeVito wishing himself taller from a magic mosquito.

Neighbor: The Quick and The Bread Exterminator: Mare of Fleas Town Burger of The Day: The Corn Identity Burger (comes with relish) Cocktail: The League of Ex-Brine-iary Gentlemint It was great to see the Gingerbread House gang again. And there's more rich weirdos this time! So the winning formula to a good Fischoeder episode: Get him high. And get the other rich weirdos high. I missed this kind of chaos. Linda's mocktail party plot was okay, but I loved the kid's choice of nice dress. Tina actually gets dressed up, Gene wears Bob's jacket, and Louise just wears a big tie. Cocktail parties do suck, but Linda gave good advice at how to handle them.

There will be more Marge episodes until morale improves.

A robe was the perfect mom gift. It's a big callback to season 1 with Marge being disappointed by a thoughtless birthday gift. And for once, it wasn't from Homer! It was Bart and Lisa getting a cool spy kit they got from Flanders, and giving Marge two free branded ironing board covers (that she already had!). Having an African Grey as a kid was...a strange reveal, I'll admit. But I liked the turn that she hated it. You know, since Mike Scully wrote this, this one really felt like an unmade Duncanville episode. Oh man, Homer became a Ring Karen. All we needed was Homer confusing fireworks with gunshots. And of course he couldn't hold a candle to Agnes. Loved Lisa's daydream about the cool kids. "Now Lisa's cool and there's nothing we can do about it!"

Okay, Chris Hardwick is an immortal cursed to host all convention panels until the end of time. That explains how he can voice himself. I liked the continuity of Hippocampus being the one to pick Hephaestus's lock. And Heracles "freeing" Prometheus! Volcon charged a chicken to enter, yet sold eggs. They really nailed conventions. I loved that a Redusa was a woman with a snake head and human legs, with human hair, who turns to stone once it looks at a statue. That was clever.

Season 35, ep 6: Iron Marge Airs 11/12/23 And heads up, it's airing at 8:30 tonight (and I think next week, too) instead of 8.

Apparently he was, back in 2018. I don't remember it at all.

Finally, the strike's over! (Hopefully. Apparently SAG-AFTRA caved on AI, but it's over) Cold Open: I didn't even WATCH that Republican debate. I'll take the show's word for it. Really liked Trump showing up and breaking the fourth wall. They got Ego as Vivek, and one of the Destroy Boys as Ron DeSantis. (And wait, was this the first time one of the PDD guys were in a live sketch?!) Monologue: We can finally talk about self-promotion again! Really liked the jacket Timothee was wearing. I'm sure that Babyface rap was the original monologue if the strike hadn't ended, but they weren't gonna waste Punkie's costume. 50 Years of Hip Hop: The audience was just losing it at JAJ as Rick Rubin. Timothee was great as a the horrible streamer kid. The Woman in Me: And now a parade of celebrity impressions sketch. Then again, I don't think we've seen one of these with the new kids. I think this was an excuse for Molly to re-enact the Kevin James meme. Loved Sarah as John Mulaney. We don't need him at all anymore. I can't not love Werner Herzog jokes, and JAJ was scarily accurate as him. Was also not expecting a dead-on Bill Hader, either (that was Michael Longfellow, to boot). Shred Zone Gym: Fun, dumb, and short. It was all building to see Sarah with big biceps. The Destroyer: Tiny Horse! But now it's a cyberpunk future and he's gigantic! That was great. WU: Huh, all that weird nonsense from the beginning of the cold open actually happened. Loved the joke about "Margret, the elephant who stood to inherit everything." The SNL graphics department always seems to have fun. Heidi's bit was cut for time last week. It was okay. Sleep Paralysis Demon: Okay, who's Troye Sivan, and why did the crowd go wild over this? It proves I'm too old for this show now. Love that the straightest thing Bowen could think of was Prime energy drink and the 4th season DVD of It's Always Sunny. Please Don't Destroy: Okay, I liked the punchline of the guy jumping when he found out the boys were the PDD boys and the cut to "our videos can't be THAT bad." And the phone cracking like an egg and the guy shouting "put it in rice!" Cassidy: Troast stars in a sketch! The reveal that she was 27 was the best part. And started covid. And has a 51 year old boyfriend named Puddy. Timothee all exasperated definitely reminded me of Adam Sandler. Sleep Story: Dismukes is finally in a sketch! I feel like it could've gone on a little longer if it wasn't constrained by being a 5 to 1 sketch. I don't think anyone was expecting Alec Baldwin to show up at the end outta nowhere. All and all...this one was pretty okay. Boygenius was pretty good. And I loved the bumper showing the cue card crew.

Man, it's already a week away. And it's pretty packed for me as it is, considering the Super Mario RPG remake comes out the same day, and I'll be at Anime NYC that weekend.

I love that the family hated their trip to Gettysburg. Out of all things for the family to be outraged by, it's Klaus replacing a cheap, cardboard picture frame with a nice one. "And roses?! My favorite old lady smell!" Was not expecting this episode to be centered around Dick, and he's pathetic the same way Klaus is. And then they become squatters. And Klaus STILL burnt down the house in the end. Love it. I knew Tall Jeremy was real. I mean, it's a world where Santa and Humbaba exist, of course he'd be real, too, and be able to see through Roger's persona.

It's such an older brother thing to do, too. Zeke knows the difference between bullying and horseplay. That's just good writing. I like stories where Zeke and JJu are bros, and friends with the Belcher kids. Tammy's the one that brings out the worst in all of them, and I'm thankful she wasn't in this one.

So the secret to Rick's famous spaghetti: IT'S PEOPLE!! From people from a planet who turn into spaghetti when they kill themselves. And it's incredible. Man, the tonal whiplash considering there was a trigger warning about suicide like five seconds before that reveal. So Morty introduced the concept of Soylent Green to Spaghetti Planet and the capitalism that ruined a whole society by making it as depressing as possible so it drives everyone to suicide. But man...that ending was heavy. There's a reason we don't want to see how the food is made. We wouldn't eat it. I actually ate spaghetti for dinner, too... That tag with the vacuum cleaner people was a good palate cleanser.

And we can see Rod reading a book about prop comedy in church during the third segment!

I really liked the designs of the old people. It's true, old ladies are 70% pocket candy. I liked that there was this grand scheme to steal Peter and Lois's organs, and that Joe was in on it. Wasn't expecting Cleveland's legs to be so muscular. Man, wasn't expecting to hear a snippet of "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald." It's notoriously hard to clear. Heard James Hong and Henry Winkler amongst the old people. I like hearing them in things.

"In our city, we like grain with personality!" So, Tyrannis is a terrible king. But we knew that. I liked Susan Sarandon as Demeter. And what IS Deliria the goddess of, exactly?

Neighbor: Girdle, Interrupted Exterminator: Swarm and Fuzzy Exterpminators Burger(s) of The day: The Burger Ball it Burger. I always appreciate when it's part of the plot. Man, Zeke was the bully at his old school, and he regrets how he acted because he fell in a bad crowd because he wanted to belong and wrestle people, kids who wanted to pee. That's just good character development. And man, it was over making fun of someone's lisp? Like what Jimmy Jr. has?! Man, I was feeling bad for everyone here. Jimmy Pesto is back! And sounds mostly the same! It's Eric Bauza! I honestly missed his dynamic with Bob. But to be honest...the show doesn't really need it anymore. Bob really is at his worst when Jimmy steals his thunder. I liked how Bob finally realized it wasn't worth it. We had Jimmy, Mort, and Rudy all in one episode?! We ate good tonight.

They were in the third segment, turned into Homers.

Wild Barts Can't Be Token: It was as dumb as we all thought it was. And it ended the way we all thought it would: Homer turns himself into an NFT just in time to become worthless. Honestly, the Snowpiercer stuff looked incredible. And it got Marge to kill a bunch of virtual cats. And that creepy RalphHouse abomination. "Shut up, you ruined Cowbell!" was probably the line of the segment. Ei8ht: I know they've done it before, but they can animate the show to look like the classic seasons this whole time?! Like, they could replicate Cape Feare (but with brighter colors), yet choose not to?! Man, this was a real gruesome looking one. I thought the turn that Lisa was the killer (with an evil side) was too sharp and sudden. But hey, I liked her in this one. It's rare she gets to be a badass. Loutbreak: Man, that infected donut was really gross. As was the horrifying Homer!Marge. And of course Homer still loves her (perhaps even more) Man, everyone turning into Homer was like a way better version of the one with the clones. There was even a Homer!Kirk strangling Homer!Milhouse. All in all, a fun one, but last year's was better.

Season 35, ep 5: Treehouse of Horror XXXIV Airs 11/5/23

The spitting image of Henry Cavill! Yeah, this was totally a fun one tonight. Scooby-Doo parodies are done to death, but I loved this take on it. We even got some new Scott Grimes songs out of it! Loved Klaus's pile of old, unread New Yorkers that stretched to the ceiling. He wasn't even in the show! He was the fifth understudy! That was the best part.

"Don't be a space Mormon!" Yep, that one's going into the "frequent quote" pile. Rick's come a long way, actually gets testy when someone tells him they don't believe in therapy and defends Dr. Wong from the President flirting with her. This was all an excuse for President Curtis to bang Dr. Wong. Man, I was NOT expecting Unity to come back, and then President Curtis becoming the new hive mind. I already loved the concept of Virginia becoming exclusively for lovers. Man, this ep was gross as hell, but hilarious. Loved seeing Mr. Stabby in the tag. I wanted to see more of him.

Weird that the channel guide said this week's ep was new when it was actually a rerun.

Neighbor: Puttin' on the mitts Oven Mitts Exterminator: Gnat-ural Born Killers I had a cricket hidden in a crevice that wouldn't shut up recently, so that whole plot was incredibly relatable. I think we ended up spraying the crevice and then the noise stopped. I really liked all of Gene's weird lucid dreams. I loved all the weird animation when Gene was trying to play his keyboard. No shock that his dream song ended up being lame. Questioning your creative efforts is a hell of a mood. The one he wrote at the end was actually really good! But Gene was right, that contest would've made him sign the rights away. It was a good call, but maaaaan, it made the whole plot a shaggy dog story. I missed Mr. Ambrose and his loud whispering.
