Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri

So many things happen in this episode and it feels like a brilliant season finale.

This episode was so much fun! The writing was on point and the jokes were extraordinarily clever. It also had some real classic moments. The best part about this episode is it didnt have one of those subtle philosophical notions. Those episodes are fun too but sometimes people just wanna sit down and relax to forget the chaotic world we already exist in. This is the Rick and Morty we had always loved. One of the best episodes in my opinion.

This second half of the fourth season continues the strengths and weaknesses of the first half, which is no great surprise given they were made as one effort. Essentially I could copy/paste my comments from the first half, and probably just typing this I'll end up basically doing that anyway. These handful of episodes are mostly creative, profane, and consistently funny. The nature of the show has a lot of energy and embraces its own absurdity, and this alone makes it worth seeing. However it is without question that some aspects have slid from those of the previous seasons. In particular the development of character, and plots that services that development. The final episode of this set does have a bit of a satb at that, but it feels too little / too late, and the nature of the plot seemed too big for it to have just occurred out of nowhere as it did.

This element gave the show a lot of its teeth, because no matter how absurd or silly it was, it was always recognisable in its characters, and it had that grounding. Without this, it is still funny, but it does lack quite a bit. Related to this the lack of world building matters too - previous seasons seemed to expand upon the bigger world, and draw in more characters, but these episodes mostly standalone as funny and clever adventures - which is fine but again takes away something from the show as a whole (and some characters returning in the final episode didn't compensate at all for this).

Overall it is still a funny and clever show, but this fourth season loses a lot by weaknesses in the writing of characters and "bigger picture" narratives.

If i had to pick one episode that goes to 11 its this one. If I could review it 11 I would. Big reveal, an even bigger pickle then ever. 11/10.

The best Rick and Morty to date, Star Mort: Rickturn of the Jerri is a masterpiece fans have been waiting for, in fact they've been waiting for over two seasons, an eternity for Meeseeks like us.

For a season that seemed destined to leave the fans wanting, this finale delivers on ever level. So many questions are finally answered, so many plot-lines are resolved and the episode is jammed packed with unbelievable amounts of action. All the characters get story arcs, though not all of it takes place on screen. The episode is also not lacking laughs, from Rick's dry wit to Jerry being Jerry. even at his best.

Two thing put this episode from, classic to masterpiece. The first is an incredible action packed battle between Rick and an Old Friend who makes for an incredible villain.. The battle witch takes place tops any which have come before and will leave you on the edge of your seat.

However it's the ending that puts this episode over the top, with a clever twist ending no one will have scene coming. It is an emotional gut punch witch leaves Leaving even Rick shocked and ashamed with himself. For the first time Rick shows remorse.

This episode reminds us what was so good about the original Star Wars, but it's not Star Wars, it's Rick and Morty, showing they can succeed where the Rise of Skywalker failed, delivering Fan service without sacrificing quality storytelling or artistic integrity.

Rick and Morty might have it's ups and down but season 4 proves that the show doesn't need to follow any rules, even their own, and it is this creative freedom makes it clear that Rick and Morty could be around for 100 years even Forever.
