Rattlestar Ricklactica

A return to the classic R+M feel with a parody of 80s time travel flicks. It leaves out the complicated nature of paradoxes, etc., which I think they outdid themselves with in the season 2 premier; I forgive them for being lazy this time, though it does lose coherency in the final act. It's so over the top this time (even for R+M standards) that it really doesn't matter. There are a lot of funny moments throughout the whole episode, whereas previous episodes of S4 have a gag or two that are amusing.

Only item still missing is anything 'deep'. While S1 and S2 were just as over the top with zany stories, there was still a lot of character drama. Seems like they believe they've run out of stuff to do there, or are avoiding it, as it's been mostly absent this season (and it's half-way over). That's what separated R+M from the other cartoon schlock, even outside of the exaggerated, shroom-like sci-fi themes.

We'll see if it continues. I railed on episode 4 pretty hard, so had to do my due diligence in voicing the things that went well.

Still not on the tier of Season 3's best episodes but this was about the best one so far in season 4. This actually had me laughing out loud in parts and I loved the time paradox story line. Classic Rick and Morty episode.

Looks like the writers finally opened that box on the garage shelf labeled "time travel stuff", which was intended to be their subtle message to the viewers that they would avoid that topic in their episodes to avoid confusion/cliché. I'm glad they decided to take the leap in this episode, though, because I think they really pulled off a clever and original time travel plot. The episode had some really hilarious parts and the B story was a lot of fun to watch.

Hell yeah! Rick and Morty is back from it's grave! Last episode was so terrible, but this episode is my jam! :D

After 4 episodes which did not feel exactly like R&M, finally an excellent classic R&M episode. However it is also a little far from the best episodes (The Rickshank Rickdemption, Pickle Rick, The Ricklantis Mixup, Morty's Mind Blowers, Total Rickall, The Ricks Must Be Crazy, The Wedding Squanchers, Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind, Rick Potion #9 and so on), but definitely far R&Mortier than the last 4 episodes. We expect suchlike episodes in the upcoming episodes (or season).
