Rick: A Mort Well Lived

Rick A Mort Well Lived is nothing that special in comparison to the episodes that came before it. I found it pretty boring throughout its run, especially the entire Die Hard subplot. It was sort of funny at first, but the joke gets old quick when you realize that's the entire subplot. The main plot with Roy was interesting at first, but didn't maintain its neat concept for long. I feel that there was a lot of story potential for a return to Roy, but it didn't work super well here. This episode was a large step down from last week's premiere and hopefully the next episode is better in terms of its premise and execution.

Back to its ol' recognizable self, I can't believe it. The torment of the past year is gone.

For most of the episodes up till now since Vat of Acid, the characters weren't like themselves at all for some reason, and the content of the episodes was too random, meaningless-seeming and disjointed, lacking intellectual content and emotional depth, not to mention not funny most of the time (even the first episode this season). I'm relieved it's finally back to how it was before with this episode, and I'm glad they seem to have payed no more attention to the fans and the internet now. I hope they continue doing that.

Thank you.

My biggest gripe with the show over the past few seasons is that they almost always try to fit two storylines in a single episode and often have them tie in together at the end. That is very hard to do well in a 23 minute runtime. Both of the stories in this episode had potential (ESPECIALLY the 5 billion Mortys concept) but it felt rushed and barely developed since they kept cutting back to Summer.

Also, I don't know to put this into words very well but the spacing/timing of jokes and punchlines feels...off? Characters respond too quickly without letting a setup develop is the best way I could describe it.

Overall, this show is still entertaining but a fraction of what it was in seasons 1 and 2.

This show is filled with references, especially this season. Without exaggerating i can say that from every 10 scenes there's at least 6 that reference other works and that amazing.

I kinda get why some people didn't seem to find this episode as enjoyable as the others, but it was decent. I didn't watch die hard and maybe that is why I liked it, some of you who did watch die hard

The concept of a collective as humankind and a global consciousness is really interesting. Which by the way It's not a religion :D.

I kinda have this crazy theory about evil morty and the game they were playing but i wont share here as this is a no spoilers review. But i guess anyone who saw the episode felt the same way as me.

PS: Falafel is a Palestinian food.

Some people that have watched the previous few episodes may be disappointed with this episode, since it isn't that lore heavy and doesn't seem to be accomplishing anything, but when talking about this show you shouldn't expect continuity every episode, sometimes you just gotta appreciate the zany stories that this show has to offer.

Having said that this was a blast of an episode, it reminded me a bit of Mortyplicity by how disconnected it is from the main story, but that doesn't stop it from being an overall great ride. Very solid episode and season so far and hopefully that consistency will be maintained, can't wait for the next episode.
