    R&M's "Pulp Fiction"

    I think this one sorta slid under most folks' radars. In short: It's a metaphor for the deeply internalized apologetic ("vindication") for the domination of an in-group basis for morality over "lesser" bases for morality. In other words, if you can get enough people to sign on, any action can be excused as falling under a "moral" umbrella.

    Besides this, it's got everything we've come to expect from R&M: Great writing, great scenario work (with a stunning tour-de-force subjugation of the "bad guy"!), labor-of-love graphic work, good direction and voice work.

    Others are tending to disagree on this one, but I think it represents their best.

    Impressive Storytelling

    An Episode where the backbone of your enjoyment, is your suspension of genre tropes. All Elements contorting before your eyes.

    Pretty decent but everyone are so mean for no reason

    The episode is overally pretty decent but I find that everyone is being too much of a prick. The humours are pretty mid in this episode, it's not bad just... mid.

    I feel like the Vindicators team don't really have anything special, I know that is the point but they just don't aren't a characters that really have any impact. Rick character is a bit weird in this episode, the twist in the end are pretty good but maybe I'm just overthinking that Drunk Rick are just trying to prank Morty at the end because he know he wouldn't remember anything. I'm not really sure did Drunk Rick try tokill everyone on purpose or trying to found out is the Vindicators really a good team.

    Not a bad episode but some parts feel pretty akward.

    Range some where between 5.9 and 7.6.

    Extremely underrated

    This is one of the best episode of the series imo. The joke were just so amazing and layered and thought out

    Best episode of the series

    They really nailed it. Lots of great lines, Rick at his sociopathic best, and just inanity brilliance.

      Morty says he is invoking his right to be in control of one in every ten adventures. This is the stakes of the bet that is made between he and Rick in episode Meeseeks and Destroy.
    • Quotes

      Crocubot: I am Crocubot.

      Rick Sanchez: Ha ha, right, Crocubot. So you're half cold, unfeeling reptile; half also cold, equally unfeeling machine.

      Crocubot: Yes.

      Rick Sanchez: Wow, so your origin is what, you fell into a vat of redundancy?
