R&M’s interactions with the President were the best. This episode had me laughing throughout.
I don’t think it was the best way to end the season, bit it was still a good episode in its own right.

Kept watching the White House fight scene over and over... good times.

Yeah, the fight choreography was great, as always. I really liked all of the counter-measures the President had squirreled away for just such an occasion. And the dialogue between Rick and the President in the Oval Office leading up to their fight was great.

I'm kind of glad we didn't see Evil Morty again so soon, I think that subplot is going to simmer on the back burner for a while but when it comes back it'll have a lot of weight behind it. Same for Tammy and Phoenix Person.

Yeah it sucks they had to cut back on the number of episodes due to the writing process dragging on, but I think that happened early enough in production that this is still close to what they originally envisioned as the finale.

In the Season 1 finale, Rick jokes about having a new catchphrase, breaks the fourth wall, and the break between seasons is mirrored by the Smith-Sanchez household being frozen in time. The Season 2 finale ends very differently, with the cliffhanger of Rick going to prison for his crimes and Mr. Poopybutthole lamenting how long the break between seasons would be. Season 3 circles back around to the show's lower-stakes starting point, teasing a new status quo, with Beth breaking the fourth wall this time and explaining that things will be more like Season 1 but "more streamlined".

I think people who expected Evil Morty or Tammy and Phoenix Person to make another appearance by the end of this season forget that the show likes to defy our expectations and take sharp turns down unanticipated avenues. They don't want to sacrifice quality by engaging in too much fan service, like bringing back Mr. Meeseeks when the character proved so popular. They'll come back to both of these plot lines at some point but not before some more self-contained, flavor-of-the-week episodes. And of course they'll do interdimensional cable again, but only when they can add another twist or layer to the format to keep it fresh.

It's crazy that the show managed to get McDonald's to bring back a twenty year-old sauce. There's a McD's near my apartment that I'm sorely tempted to visit this Friday, but I expect the lines to be ridiculous.
