The episode is basically the show's attempt to do an episode that's like "Interdimensional Cable" and yet not, and while it ultimately bites off more than it can chew, it's tremendously fun along the way.

The fourth season of the series aired in two parts, and "Never Ricking Morty" was the first episode of the second half of the season - and boy did it kick things off ambitiously. Poopybutthole cameo.ĪKA "The One with the Story Train" Season 4, Episode 6 That said, it does get some major points for that Mr. “The Rickchurian Mortydate” isn’t a bad episode, but it lacks the cohesiveness or wallop of some of the other Season 3 episodes, so it’s a bit of a letdown in the context of the new season. The change here is that Beth, seemingly, now actually loves Jerry, and most importantly Rick decides to stick with a family he pretends to loathe rather than move to a different timeline. And then there’s Beth trying to figure out if she’s a clone or not, with these two storylines ultimately intersecting in a bit of a character dynamics reset to a pre-“Wedding Squanchers” mode with Beth and Jerry finally back together. It’s basically a breakup story between Rick and the President of the United States, drawing some strong parallels to real-life breakups with a classic Rick and Morty twist. It doesn’t pack the emotional punch or jaw-dropping cliffhanger quality of the Season 2 finale, but it does offer some interesting character evolution. The Season 3 finale is a bit of an odd episode, and coming as the capper of the best season yet, it’s a little disappointing.

Truth be told, there’s really not a single worthless episode of Rick and Morty-there’s good to be found in even the least memorable of the bunch, so think of this as a way of appreciating each episode of the show rather than an episode-by-episode judgment.ĪKA “The One Where Rick Blows Off the President” Season 3, Episode 10 With that in mind, I went back and revisited all the Rick and Morty episodes from the first three seasons and ranked them from worst to best, in an effort to further dive into what makes this show special episode by episode. That is what makes Rick and Morty far more than a raunchy cartoon or strange sci-fi series. The love that Roiland and Harmon have for these characters permeates, and they’re not afraid to approach difficult situations and subject matter with real, sometimes tough emotions. You may not immediately think of compassion when it comes to Rick and Morty, but it’s there.

The show endures, however, because of its heart. But Rick and Morty is also sharply, sometimes darkly funny, offering up a variety of ridiculous, crude, and hilarious situations and moments. Roiland and Harmon double down on these stories, while adhering to the rules of the universe they’ve created. The show is genuine hard sci-fi, with well thought-out premises and situations that aren’t simply forgotten or discarded after one episode. It’s why Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon’s Adult Swim series Rick and Morty has been such a breath of fresh air since it debut in 2013. We'll see soon enough as Rick and Morty's "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort" is currently slated to debut on August 8th on Adult Swim, Sunday, August 8th at 11:00PM EST.The possibilities for the science-fiction genre are seemingly endless, and yet so many sci-fi stories cover the same ground. It could be like the fourth season where it's all packed into the final three episodes, or it could have just been a tease that fell apart along the way. The creative team behind the series teased we would see some major canonical plays in the fifth season before its debut, and we have yet to actually get any of that with the previous seven episodes thus far.

Tune into on Sunday, August 8th at 11:00 PM to catch the next brand new episode of #RickandMorty Season 5, "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort"! /eQzRoBdTJG You can check out the promo for the next episode below as spotted by on Twitter: What's most interesting from this first look at the next episode right off the bat is Rick is intentionally separating himself from the rest of his family (which is a major opposite from the seventh episode) before prepping to do something dangerous to himself when he's left alone.
