Watched the full episode a couple of hours ago. A whole lot of senseless violence, but that was fun. On the other hand, they might not have been better off by the end of the episode. Just with different people in charge. Changing a system is more complicated than just killing the current bastards.

It goes to show, never listen to your heart and always to Rick! They would have been safe and home easy if Morty hadn't gone all squishy over a crying amish-cat-girl-fetishthingy. And in the end, it was back to where it started..

liked the bit about the bread and who to trust with accounting.. thanks for the trustless blockchain! wubba lubba dub dub!!

I dunno. I think Morty's purging can be both serious and ridiculous, with the gravity of those implications remaining intact. It's almost a darker, bleaker, and more realistic decision to ignore Morty's psychology or frame it in a ridiculously over powered suit of armor. Why would Rick WANT to address it? And giving Morty the armor gives him a choice.

He wouldn't, the entire point of their adventures together is to teach Morty, to show him the reality of the universe, to see it clearly and accurately in a scientific way. Maybe Rick knows something about Morty's potential that we don't - remember the autism scene where Morty spouts the numbers? Oh... oh my God.

What if evil Morty from season 1 finale is actually OUR Morty but from the future, where he surpassed and killed his teacher (our future Rick)?!
