Hello !
Again, I should learn to shut up in the intro, especially here when I was saying "the last episode with all of these informations about Rick's past was like a final episode, so for the two real last episodes, they need to keep up, continue with the big events and reveals !". Ha, ha, ha, joke on me. The majority of the episode looked like another one, with Rick and Morty being mad at each other, trying to have other partners, all of that going badly and all. But the end was different this time.
I can't see where things really changed, why this time they didn't reconcile like always. Because Morty hid the truth ? It was not the first time that these two lied and covered the truth. So no, I think it was really more because Rick is changing and can't take it anymore. Yup, I took it badly and I might have cried a little. The song, Rick leaving, Rick drunk talking directly to us… Come on, it's the final episode, right ?
I'm still french, so I'm still sorry if my english hurts you.

This is a really weird fun fact about this episode. Nick is voiced by an actor also named Nick, and his face is based on him too.

2023-02-17 01:44:35 +0000 UTCA crisis in the definition! - what about a movie such as DEEP IMPACT (1998) which because by now in 2023 it is almost too real. Okay wait, it's still sci-fi because we understand the technology but it doesn't quite exist yet but almost and also it's clear the demonstrated effect on society. Explaining the definition - the part where it must explore effects on society specifically means "Earth society" and the reason is this... If the story is about fictional planet A attacking fictional planet B, yes it seems like science fiction but it is too open ended if it does not affect Earth. For example planet A could be populated by Elves and Planet B is populated by Green goblins - okay the case is severely weakened but there's still a sliver of a chance that it's sci-fi, yes but... What if they're using alien technology that looks like magic and that's how they attack each other through conjured portals where they shoot arrows at each other. Okay that's taking it too far, it is now fully fantasy, with fantasy creatures and fantasy technology. Therefore stories set in space if it doesn't include Earth it does not meet the definition of sci-fi in the strict sense. More tests of the definition Star Wars - no, not sci-fi. They use several fictional tech but they have no bearing on Earth. They look human but how is that possible? There is no sci-fi basis for them to be humans and so... they must be aliens? Aliens does not necessarily mean sci-fi because aliens could be Gremlins which are fantasy creatures (like Ewoks). The lightsaber is powered by Kyber crystals - there is no science fiction behind that, it's pure fantasy technology. Stargate - no, not sci-fi. It's fantasy. Earth people travel to another world, good so far... but they meet other humans. Is this just bad writing? Not necessarily as long as it's not sci-fi. And all of the fantasy elements occur outside Earth. If there are aliens and if they come to Earth and cause havoc in an overt way then the story becomes sci-fi. But instead it sort of falls through the sci-fi sieve and the stories are pretty much all fantasy, there should be no shame in not meeting sci-fi criteria as long as the writing is good. Time travel movies - in general should not be considered sci-fi unless they specifically dwell on the engineered technology. A time travel movie like Back to the Future is less science fiction, that one is debatable because there's barely any science technology in it except for the time machine which is explained with a hand waive (equivalent to magic). The story is more about the conundrum of landing in the past and affecting the future which they demonstrate in fantasy fashion. Time travel "feels like" science fiction but is probably fantasy, it's pure speculation with no tech and also they usually focus on traveling to the past which is really a historical fiction. If they travel to future Earth and the story stays there then it's science fiction. Oh I didn't forget to tie it to Rick and Morty where I originally wrote this thesis on how to categorize science fiction films and stories. Rick and Morty is science-fiction because they always utilize some sort of tech in their adventures and it is core to the stories. We can take even a wild example such as the Meeseeks. There is a box with a button, the button imply mechanism inside. The Meeseeks race could live in another dimension where the laws of physics are different. Also the story explores what would it be like if such a power could be unleashed upon our world. Yes, pandemonium and the Jerry inside of us might falter and cause havoc for those around us, shakes a downturned head perhaps imperceptively but yet nonetheless. "A button!" Now there's something someone could write an essay about - why a button could imply something that a gnarled wand would not.

2023-02-16 00:00:13 +0000 UTCI once defined "science-fiction" as "engineered future technology and its effects on society" which I intended to tighten the definition... more in the reply
