Main thang

S1E1 – “Pilot” Originally aired: December 2, 2013 Written by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland Directed by Justin Roiland

Synopsis Rick needs Morty to go run a sci fi errand with him. We meet all the main characters.

Production Notes I like that Morty takes charge in that cold open… notes about this getting the show made and whatnot… The bomb arms at the end? What happened?

Favorite Bits “High-concept sci fi rigmarole” Morty’s high school math is at a 1st grade level Rick’s Inspirational speech about facing fear head on and then immediately turning and running from something he has never seen. The thing where Rick jumps through the portal to heal Morty’s legs Future dimension? Time travel?

Some really good stuff we missed, certainly in the Rick and Morty subreddit Community Rewatch post @InkedInspector – Kidding aside, I love how Rick equates bureaucrats to robots, cracks me up every time Do you think this is a good entry point for new Rick and Morty Viewers? It’s crazy to see how far along the art and overall production value has come from this pilot episode.
