Goofs
Although the show is not necessarily consistent generally, there is one big inconsistency in this episode, which can be deemed as a goof on this particular occasion because of its scope. Most Ricks in the citadel commute by public transportation to mundane jobs. Although the show emphasized The Rick is different from other Ricks many times, still all the other Ricks are smartest men in their universes. Therefore it is not in any Rick's character to commute to a mundane job. Furthermore, it should be extremely easy for Ricks to invent all sorts of servants for any kind of petty jobs.

Quotes
Evil Morty: This seems like a good time for a drink and a cold calculated speech with sinister overtones, a speech about politics, about order, brotherhood, power. But speeches are for campaigning. Now is the time for action.

Best thing on TV...

So R&M has transcended being a silly little cartoon with many episodes, this season promised darker and has delivered with every episode. I think this is possibly the strongest episode to date and really addresses some very deep societal issues, which might be jarring for some, but they do so in such an accessible way that I found it brilliant.

The homage to Training Day and Stand by Me were so well done, touches of Snape Rick were also very nice. I cannot wait to see where they go next, this show, though grotesque and vulgar at times, it just fantastic.
