The Jerrick Trap

So nice to have the show back at its prime... Hell, you could even say that Rick and Jerry together was MORE than the sum of their parts... Literally.

This reminds me of the first few seasons where every character, regardless of their "alignment" were likeable without the sort of sourness that seeped in to some of the previous episodes... And where Rick had to solve a conundrum whilst paying homage to a movie or series franchise on the sly..

For me, this was a clear homage to John Wick and Morty was the Dead Puppy....

As the best episodes do, this one escalated quickly and stratospherically before being brought back to Earth with a well placed plot item rather than a late-series R&M Ex Machina.

This episode was really good . There is a different quality of writing in season 7 compared to 6 , IMO it got back closer to the true spirit of Rick and Morty.

This show is rising again . I hope this season bring back the Rick and Morty that i loved. Until now , it was good , i liked the s07e01 too , lets see what will happen.

One thing, the new rick's voice is a little off . I wish it wasn't.

I don't know if i would eventually become ok with the Rick's new voice.

Justin's voice had a special texture to it , although i think in season 6 he didn't sometimes really convey the true feelings of characters , but still .

This episode is simple. But it works. They might have had a Rick & Jerry episode but this one is different. In the current state of the show, a Rick & Jerry episode was required. The characters are different & this episode does well in upgrading the dynamic.

The episode delves into the character traits

In almost every episode, it seems like Jerry takes the fall. He keeps on becoming a irrelevant character, a ragdoll to throw jokes at.

This episode on the other hand carries on the trend of Rick losing control. Jerry seems to be getting a lot more involved & bold then he ever would be. While Rick is having to deal with human nature.

An interesting episode, not so focused on humor, but rather on a new vision for Jerry, I thought it was cool (the post-credits scene was cool too).

I was happy that the other characters in the family were present in this ep, unlike the premiere, this makes a lot of difference from Summer's little jokes to Beth and Morty's important reflections, I hope it continues like this.

Thinking about the rest of the season, I don't think this ep will have much impact, but I thought it worked well compared to the other eps that had Jerry's relationship with Rick as the main focus. I hope Jerry now has more cool background stories with Beth, and Space Beth returns too.

Yet another idea that really goes nowhere interesting. What has happened to this series' strength, the creative development of an interesting or even mediocre premise?

This is better than last week with its who-cares premise. This one is more interesting, because it tackles the Rick/Jerry dynamic, always one of the more interesting pairings in this show.

It riffs on a hoary old sci fi trope, the mind-switch, but mixes up the rules in a new chaotic way. The problem is, it just continues the chaos, and doesn't really develop these new rules into something unexpected but logical if not inevitable.
