What I find fascinating about Rick is, he is trying to fight against his emotions because he knows that it's just a chemical reaction in his brain. He wants to control his emotions, instead of letting his emotions control him. But despite his immeasurable intelligence, he is still just a human being, and we see him many times how he gives in to his emotions and desires, and EVERY time that happens, he gets hurt in the end. He had a family, but it was killed. And this started the stigma, which is that, everyone he loves or cares about, seem to always get hurt, or they hurt him. Rick developed feelings towards others, only for them to reject him because he is either toxic, manipulative or had higher expectations about the relationship. Examples of this are: Unity dumping him. Bird Person rejecting him. Two Crows cheating on him. He hates opening up, because every time when he does, he get's hurt. He tries to act tough, but in the end it's just a façade. And when he met Tony, the only person who could understand how Rick felt, and could see trough the insults and rude behaviours that Rick was throwing at him, he didn't want to open up his heart because at that point, Rick preferred to be alone, instead of forging a new relationship that he feared would end with the person leaving and Rick getting hurt once again. The tragic part about this whole thing is, Rick was starting to warm up to Tony, and then Tony died. And it's when Tony dies, that Rick realizes that he has become such a toxic piece of S%$3, that he has become almost unapproachable. Something he felt regret about because if he allowed Tony in his life sooner, he could've actually made a very strong and irreplaceable friendship. Not to mention that Tony might've not died. So when we see Rick after he learned of Tony's death, we see him punishing himself by sitting on the toilet and receiving the roasts he prepared for the one person who saw trough him and understood him. Moral of the story is something that Bob Marley said and I quote - “The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.” If you build walls to not get hurt, you might not get hurt. But you will be alone with yourself and you will never feel alive. The walls prevent us from heartbreak but they also prevent us from love. I hope that everyone who is going trough heartbreak and is reading this, know that you deserve love and happiness, and you will find it.
Bit of a wake up call. Not that I think I'm a genius...but that I have been toxic myself in my relationships. I think Rick is a bit of a deep dive into how most people feel. We expect more out of the people we care about. Or at least I do.
Woah this comment actually made me tear up. Your explanation of Rick kinda reminds me of myself and how I tend to deal with my emotions... I need to stop my toxic cycle.
idk, for me it was when the song "can you feel it" by chaos chaos played when Rick was going to kill himself. To me its the best song of the series so far.
a valid theory but in the comics they show their actual meeting, which was rick crashing into bp's planet to hide from the federation and tricking bp into fighting with him. bp never found out and they became friends
Rick actually went to find another Tony in a different dimension since he knows what other dimension tonys' were doing and told that to tony's father at the funeral but then ended up finding them different with this one and ended up lonely and sad
the scene where he sits on the toilet... man, such a perfectly orchestrated scene. What a piece of art this show is. The show is a comedy, and reminds you by making funny comments like the big bad doo doo daddy... but this ends up making it even more powerful when you have moments like these. It registers as "genuine". Love this episode, a masterpiece.
Thank you for introducing me to this show. I hope you are in a better place and doing well. Though we don't talk anymore, I truly hope you are happy. Sorry for ending things on a bad note, I really wish it didn't. But the void within came crashing and I didn't want to drag you down with me. I was becoming someone I couldnt recognize.Bitter and spiteful. Only thing I could do was let you go. Even though it hurt so bad. 50-50 adventures through the universe partners right? See you in the cosmos homie.
Reminds me of my best friend who died weeks after my birthday. When she died, a huge part of me died too. I will never forget our last laugh and how we talk about life, aliens, our futures and stuff. Deep inside my heart I missed her. She was my soul mate. I just know. It's just that best people don't live long and the worst people are all being left out.
But people like you can carry on her memories and inspire others, and become those who were great and then become greater, maybe it’s not a high status you desire but even empowering others and being reminded of her memory as am I with my brother, I can live on with the joy they were able to bring and know that there are always good people out there amongst the bad. They come in few, but that’s the beauty in finding them Sorrey for bad English

This is that Final Space moment for me. Where you think there won't be any emotional scenes that break you until that one line and them when the music kicks in .. right in the fucking feels man 😭😭😭
I think this episode is a perfect example of this shows ability to show not tell. I and many others disliked the episode pickle rick because at the end of the episode rick just explains almost emotionlessly how he feels. It has no impact compared to this scene we see rick put himself so far above others that he will not let him use his bathroom, yet he still knows he is lonely and depressed.
Tbh the song now is the song I hear while depression hits me up and all that the hologram ricks says … not gonna lie helps me see how much of a jerk meaningless shit I am….
I used to get bullied in Middle School by this guy named Ray. I knew him since like Elementary school, but he wasn't your stereotypical bully. The fella was always trying too hard to just be a part of things everywhere he went. Never actually meant anything by his threats as far as I could tell growing up. Lived in a rough family home during his upbringing. So of course the guy got addicted to drugs over time. Eventually whatever beef he had with me left like it was nothing after hearing the news about my Mother's Death. Truly was one of the only times I seen actual empathy come from the fella. The craziest part about it is that one of his favorite uncles died about a few days after my Mom passed. Although we never hung out much before or after this, I was generous enough to invite him over my house a couple of times because he was just so genuine in his approach to these things. When my family saw him over the house they were infuriated since they knew about the beef we used to have. But I basically told them that I kept an eye on him and that he actually seemed serious about making up. I remember this all happening in 2017 btw. Before this episode aired. The guy died last year of a drug overdose while living in Florida. When I heard the news, I was simply shocked. We were never exactly close, but I went out of my way to pay my respects. It's the least I could do after all the fat jokes I busted on him growing up. We always had a complicated Friendship, just like Rick and the Tony fella. I guess you could even say that it was the opposite of a friendship more times than not. I know what you're thinking; what does this have to do with Rick and Morty or this song? Well, after I payed my respects, my family and friends started coming at me with all sorts of things like "Sorry about what happened to YOUR FRIEND" (they're all saying it sarcastically of course because they never liked the fella either) and for a split second I did the same exact thing Rick did; told them all "Fuck you he's not my friend". But deep down, I can't help but think that is probably a lie. I miss the guy and wish he could have seen a better life for himself. Whether I was directly a part of his life or not. Rick and Morty really did pull this off superbly. Rest in Peace Ray
That ending where the holograms of Rick were insulting Rick, that was actually supposed to be for Tony. After Tony's funeral, Rick headed back to his private pooping spot and sat there; letting the holograms make fun of him instead of shutting them off or even walking away.
I mean thanks i guess for explaining what we all just clearly watched? Everyone knew those holograms were for meant for Tony, thats why the scene is as ironic as it is
Hugely wanted to learn this on the piano the second I heard it when re watching the seasons for the 100th time 😂 I’ve learned a few of the songs now and this is next
this song is to be heard while you contemplate infinity through a beautiful landscape. You feel peace, you feel nostalgia and longing too, but for some reason you want to remain lost in that place, where a second is infinite moments. Although that hurts. It is there when you understand that you are no longer really observing the landscape, but that you are looking through a glass, where that precious and imposing infinity is the reflection of the sadness and loneliness that encompasses your heart.
Ive seen every reaction on youtube to this episode and they all laugh at this part but there is the select few that feels bad for rick or cried like me 😢
I think the people the laugh are low key stupid because they can't see the obvious in the episode. It isn't even neuanced. For me this was a bit of self reflection like the character of Jack in picard season 3 when he wants to connect with people but feels miles away. A lot of us have felt like how Rick feels at that moment, I legit thought tery the alien was gonna be a light hearted returning minor character that would have been part of Rick's growing. in that moment when he sits on the seat, I like to think he's not just thinking about himself but also the alien, which for me is proof despite what rick says he actually does care about a small amount of people and just jumping realities and getting another person isn't the same. I'm just gutted that when I rewatched the episode at the gym last night, I'm sure Netflix changed the music ques at the end, I'm very sure in the original release this track played through the credits but on Netflix they've cut it to the main theme on the credits now.
I posted publicly a compilation of all the Rick and Morty Seasons 1-5 songs in a playlist, if you look up my name and Rick and Morty you can listen to this alongside all the show's other songs, created by other creators, on my playlist endlessly (unless I decide to make it private again, obviously). Although, some spoilers may exist in the video titles. I gain nothing from this, I'm just letting you all know in case you want to hear the Rick and Morty soundtrack.
I had a friend in gta samp who was an apprentice to me, he taught it and he loved it very much until one day he disconnected and left his account, I use this song to remember him ...
