17:20 To be fair, Morty also calls Rick “Rick” instead of “Grandpa”

[@stefan3597]

I came here to post this too lol

[@drawingchampions1019]

and it would be weird calling your grandma grandma when shes like 6 years older than you

[@bigpictureguys8415]

The part about “The corrosion of two personalities who reshape each other until they’re incompatible” hit home.

I’m scared that Rick and morty only have 3 more seasons left and I’m not going to be ready to deal with that

[@monsterking1973]

I believe it has a 10 season deal so 3 seasons left I could be wrong

[@Haquize]

There’s at least 3 more seasons. Seasons 8, 9, and 10. But there are talks of potentially doing more, the network is just a couple years away from having to make that decision though.

[@kyzokyzokyzo]

@@Haquize you’re right but do you honestly think that if there was a proper end, they shud choose that rather than prolong something for money or us?

[@user-be9fn8ch1o]

Rick was carrying a photo of morty in his wallet, the picture he put on the wall was worn meaning he’s had it a while

[@MouB-go1ft]

Some people are also of opinion that Rick admires Morty because If he jumped in there he probably wouldnt return cause of Diana therefore he putted Morty's picture on the wall.

[@thedarkknight2221]

9:58 The moment the Lost joke happened I immediately thought of Suraj! Especially when Rick said “You can either be great or you could be around forever”.🤣🤣🤣

[@Crescentknight8189]

Even though it was just a simulation, it was good to see Diane back. Looking back, this reminds me of that one simulation episode from Season 1. Except only this time, Morty is real.

[@ilsub427]

What do you mean.. why do anyone even wants to see a character we hardly even see? I'm pretty sure the character is just an obstacle for rick to conquer.

[@ardyanperez5395]

​@@ilsub427 Idk dumdum, wanting to see a character that we rarely see more often doesn't really sound that weird

[@Maskon2Fite]

It wasn't a simulation 😭 it was a nightmare

[@nichescenes]

So with the Diane part and lost. Never watched the lost stuff. Everyone who hated the ending spoiled it too much like people who hate attack on titan that’s usually all they talk about to people who haven’t seen the show and don’t want to lol while saying they hate it yet watched it all. So does surj of the group actually like that show the best. Did the rest not. What makes that show so deep or good for him. Seems like they watched much better shows by now. Is it nostalgia. Did they pay close attention and really get it all. Was it like evangelion where they like it most due to the mystery and rewatch potential? I thought it was a running joke but seems he actually loves the series and the rest are ok on it.

[@matthewjenkins8506]

​@@nichescenes Yes it is actually his favorite show! Now, a lot of people who hated the ending didn't actually understand what happened, so I'm not sure if you've read actual spoilers or not. That being said, it was a show with many mysteries and plot twists, as well as great characters with many emotional moments, and the hype around it was unreal at the time. Unfortunately many mysteries were introduced without having an actual solution in mind, which caused some of these solutions to disappoint viewers eventually. But even though its writing was never as good as The Sopranos or Breaking Bad, the emotional moments are some of the best ever put on tv, and they were also the main focus of the final episode. So some fans hated it, while others loved it.

[@darkcrusader2423]

Honestly think this was one of the best seasons in a long time. Like I admit it had some lows, but it had some of the biggest highs in the series

[@vivimos_en_una_sociedad7758]

the lows were never as low as previous seasons tbh yet the peaks were some of the highest yet

[@Barqu3ntine]

Episodes 4-5-6 was a classic run. S1 darkness episode, solid mythology episode, and a good clip episode ^_^

[@ilikespaghetti4458]

​@@Barqu3ntinefr, that was such a good run of episodes

[@jaquanford2916]

Aside from 2 episodes I’d say the season was really good

[@ilikespaghetti4458]

Yeah this season was great, it just got a lot of hate because of the VA drama. There were so many good episodes, sure it had lows but so did almost every other season.

[@troyapostol]

Suraj’s reaction to the LOST bit was PRICELESS (and I say this as a LOST fan myself)!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@TheJadedJames]

Seriously, while they could have made LOST shorter and alternate universe ending was stupid, it had more than one season of material. If you decided to just start doing to candidate storyline immediately then I think a large part of the show's appeal would have been lost. If the characters just started having deep lore explained to them as soon as they got on the island, you miss the character dynamics, the survival, paranoia, and mystery that drove the show. It was accessible to non science fiction people early because specifically because it slowly eased you into speculative elements.

[@troyapostol]

@@TheJadedJames Absolutely agree on all!

[@TheJadedJames]

@@troyapostol Literally the fastest pacing I could imagine is if Season 1 ended with the “We have to go back” flash forward. Basically skipping Seasons 2 and 3 but keeping the story relatively the same after that.

[@silverstone9836]

im confused on why you are confused that Morty calls his Grandma Diane...are you forgetting what he calls his Grandpa?

[@dff9477]

I think this episode was very cathartic for me because it brought up how insidious our fears actually are. I also think it's pretty interesting how Morty seemingly "conquered" his fear by going into the hole and Rick didn't. I wonder what others thought of that moment.

[@OlliWitta3_]

Remember Rick knows its all a SHOW. Some weird dark twist is upon us

[@AustinBrizzyO]

my grandmother raised me and I only called her by her first name. funny thing is. she never forced any of me or my siblings to. before she passed she actually told me that she was always confused why all her grandkids naturally called her by her first name lmaoooo rip

[@Jajuan44]

I guess the confusion with Morty not calling Diane grandma, could be from making it clear that he meant Diane since grandma could also refer to Jerry's mother.

[@Tone-Moonie]

That episode was no joke 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mistergitgud]

It was a holesome episode.

[@My_Rigga_Toni]

I love the fact that the Dennys' guy was gaslighting Morty in to thinking Rick was the one with the fear in need of fixing, just to keep him from figuring out Rick wasn't even there 😂

[@matthewjenkins8506]

Well, Suraj... it did end in a church, and the flash sideways were kind of a... purgatory? So it's possible that Rick did understand the ending, even though he mentioned only what happened in the flash sideways, which might be misleading.

[@MarioPrimePlays]

Could be a commentary on the viewer “relying” on Rick to carry the show and his past/lore.

[@kalpbhavsar]

yeah i read that too. Like if Rick becomes happy and doesnt need morty anymore. There is no more rick and morty. The viewers' greatest fear - we don't wan't rick and morty to end. even tho it has to

[@MarioPrimePlays]

@@kalpbhavsar how many episodes before they fulfill that 73 episode quota lol. I bet it ends once’s that’s done or they just do episodic episodes once they feel the “story” is done.

[@chrisbutler6865]

@@MarioPrimePlays 30 more episodes. it was a 70 episode order. so three more seasons guaranteed, and more after that if still popular / gets renewed

Liev Schreiber was PERFECT as the voice for the hole guy 👌🏻

I was wondering how much it would take for Suraj to realise they were talking about Lost. It only took "ended in a church", wtf.

The birth of Poopy Prime.....

[@ronaldeliascorderocalles]

This episode got really deep at the end (pun intended).

[@OlliWitta3_]

Crazy how the hole wasn't physically even that deep.

[@0l._.l0895]

Hopefully they keep this part for the next season because now that Morty has overcome his dependence on Rick this leaves open so much new character development

[@watchdog8360]

Rewatching this I can see Morty's real fear being clued in through the episode it makes more sense once you know what it is

[@ObaREX]

Suraj's obsession with Lost always cracks me up

[@leovk5779]

Second best "Ho no, I've turned into my dad!" joke ever. Great setup and great execution XD

[@BlackLasher]

Diving in head first. No hesitation. We all have nightmares. Remember how relieved you feel when you wake? Imagine confronting all your worst fears and conquering them. When the worst happens in life, you'd be able to keep a cool head. Imagine all the therapy you would save yourself.

[@ilikespaghetti4458]

This was such a good episode

[@Fervus18]

The hole is my definition of hell. Being given proof that you were in a simulation and then no proof that you're out now (Which, I mean how can it). Just being uncertain your whole (Haha) life...... Killer Rick and Morty ep!

[@primecreator5257]

Nah, on the contrary, it’s a pretty great concept. If you’re still uncertain and anxious about it, then by definition you’re still in there. The whole point is that when you get out, you’re free of all of that baggage and insecurity. You won’t care, because you will have conquered that fear. You’d be free to be the best version of yourself. I would definitely jump in there. And who knows, maybe life is just a version of the hole. Buddhism, basically.

[@Nick-ib3hw]

But that is important, it's no the doubt if anything is real, but the conviction that now it is real to you and only that matters, if you reach the end line and you still feel satisfied with your "life" even if you "know" you are in the hole then you have lived life confronting that fear, you are no longer in the hole

[@yayaabd1860]

Question do you really think that Morty would jump into the fear hole before Rick? What if Ricks fear is losing Morty to the fear hole. He puts up a picture of Morty thats wayyyyyy too sentimental for Rick😂😂😂

[@KogGhost1418]

Rick NOT jumping in the hole symbolized that he’s not ready to face his fear of letting Diane go

[@JeremiahCraft]

I actually think most people missed the point. Rick stopped for a second after he heard Diane was in there, and took a long look at the hole. Then, he took out the picture of Morty and put it on the wall. This suggests that Rick considered being with Diane, but literally and symbollically chose Morty---which means Rick also conquered his fear, and grew in that moment. They both matured via the hole, even though Rick never jumped in. The message for both being that fear lives in the past (the loop of the hole) while the conquering of it is always in the present (escaping the hole). Brilliant writing.

[@thiagowwz]

18:15 (±) » and he had a little taste of that with that whole (ba da tss 🥁) Rick and Two Crows thing

[@thiagowwz]

i really thought that was going to turn into a cliffhanger for the next season, heh 😅

Really good ep. I like how they always take a concept and take it a bit further and unexpected direction (Except tht threesome episode anyway)

[@tyran9984]

Was the stomach thing a shaman king reference ?

[@Kyleplaysgames567]

This episode reminds me of a movie called 1408. It's about a haunted hotel room that forces people to hallucinate and drive them insane until they commit suicide.

[@ricardomiles2957]

It is a nice reminder in the end that after dealing with Prime Rick he really seems to be changing. Even knowing he could get to see Diane again by jumping in the hole he decided to live the now and go back to Morty

[@tempzira]

What was the picture rick posted at the end?

[@rmanileavell5271]

I call my grandma by her first name. growing up I always heard everyone else saying her name, so that was the only thing I knew her by. I was her only grandson so there wasn't any one else to lead an example. Also she hated being called grandma so by the time she tried to get me to stop calling her by her first name, I felt I was to old to call her GiGi 😂😂

this gave me endless and resolution vibes..

😂 the hole. Never thought id see a Last Jedi reference. Looks exactly like it

[@lukasal91]

"Getting old" as a superfical fear?! Everytime i hear someone say getting old is not so bad i feel like it's a very young concept from someone who didn't hit the downhill yet or just ment to reassure someone. Your body breaking down and functioning less and less is a scary and torturous step by step towards the end. Getting older means losing more and more and with those bodily functions you also lose your autonomy and with time you lose people, etc. There isn't much anyone gets "richer" at the end of getting older that actually matters to the person.

[@stellamariefanboy.6768]

Yeah, I know some people who are old and talk about their dead friends all the time, some even say they’re the only one left alive in their friend group.

[@Theon435]

Rick did not take a photo's the last time morty came out of the hole, he took that the first time they came out of the hole, and that wasn't rick so were did the real rick get the photo from.

[@vukkumsp]

Rick is like Doctor from Doctor Who

[@klimmr]

I want to know how Rick will deal with the fact that Morty went into the hole, conquered his fear and Rick stayed outside and didn't even go in.

6 was solid tho I see ppl saying thats one of the best episodes behind 5,9,10. Episode 8 the weakest episode in years

thats the point lol. its the fear hole

[@infinite-sadness]

You’re never out of the hole

[@NarutoTsunadefan1]

I mean Morty usually refers to Rick as Rick and not grandpa so him not calling Diane ‘grandma’ makes sense. Plus I love that Hole Rick was like ‘You all are NPCs so your side quests don’t matter.’ and he was a NPC so his side quests with Hole Diane didn’t matter 🤣

[@fuegoboi5562]

I still be wondering if we're gonna get info or a call back on the rebellious side of Morty Rick left in the vr game not sure how impactful that is going forward in the story feel like thats pretty big info on mortys character might not even be cannon tho

[@dice9270]

I'm still curious if it's just the one NPC, if I'm remembering wrong and more than just her left then yes I'd also be curious. I'm curious if that part of him, if still in him would've made him snap like evil Morty. Since in season 7 EP 9 when Rick dunks on him for messing up he has a similar face to how evil Morty reacted to his Rick dunking on him. You know what I mean

[@Twinsburg14]

Just had the most TERRIFYING realizations about the Fear Hole… You make it out of the hole after you conquer your biggest fear… Now think about this: “What happens when someone enters the hole, and NEVER conquers their biggest fear?”😦… Simple… you stay in the hole either forever, or until you die😳… Even MORE chilling, we know from the VHS tape scene with Muammar Gaddafi and Mt. Dew, that this VHS tape goes back as far as the 1970’s (50ish years), and only THREE people got their pictures taken, and put up on the wall before Morty did… so through 50 or so years, imagine how many people jumped in the Fear Hole, and never. came. back?🤯

[@stellamariefanboy.6768]

That’s so true. I honestly did think people just didn’t know the hole exist but it’s possible that tons of people DID jump in and we would never know :0 that’s scary.

[@stellamariefanboy.6768]

This hole would scare the crap out of me, I’m the type to over think everything, I would constantly try to find the faults if I was there, but what if because of that I never get out? :0

When i watched this the first time, and heard the waiter say there is a hole in the bathroom... My fucked up mind immediately went to a gloryhole 😂.

Hard to believe that Morty went in Rey's hole

[@dragerdet]

Huh?

[@kfphunter1315]

I also like the Hole Man plot. He may be a supernatural being, but the main thing is that he has been doing this since the 80s. Now, after the seizure of the Earth by the Federation and the opening of the Earth to galactic society, he travels around the worlds and looks for the most terrible attractions, but also advertises his own.
