Summer of All Fears

I truly thought this episode was fantastic. It felt like the old Rick and Morty we all love. It had great themes and scenes that cause you to think deep.

I didn't really enjoy last season at all. I think they finally created an awesome episode of television.

The voices sounded a little bit better.

The did a great spin of the matrix and it felt like early season of the show.

Hopefully they'll have a few others on this level this season but this could be a one off... fingers crossed.

With that all being said, I don't think the show will ever be the same but this was a step in the right direction for sure.

The 7th season left us with the most cliffhanger of finales: a well structured and written one after so many let downs. The first season started with the same meticulously crafted narrative with some used up plotlines but explored in a unique fashion. I love the philosophical and political parallels dressed up within a cartoon and joyish fun. If you ask me that is completely the point of Rick and Morty to begin with. To this trajectory I very much approve. The journey you used to embark when you watched this show used to be unpredictable. I feel like we return to this organised chaos that produces the essence of the show. Please continue like that.

A shockingly good follow up to the Fear Hole episode, where the characters again are forced to live in alternate realities that change them and expose uncomfortable truths about growing up. This is probably what Rick and Morty does best - a stupid concept about a fake reality taken to a terrifying extreme. It's a Black Mirror-esque horror used as a metaphor for a coming of age story where being forced to live in alternative realities allows the sitcom dynamic and interpersonal relationships to be explored in new ways. I'm glad they finally touched on how the characters would be affected from constantly living in new realities, adding many years of life onto their actual age. Morty with Roy and the episode where he was trapped in a game simulation feels like it should have given him a new outlook on life instead of being used as a throwaway bit, and I'm glad that was finally explored here. Just a hilarious episode too - the animation style looks a lot more fluid too, which leads to some weird character models but honestly it feels more alive and I prefer it a lot.

The concept of a matrix for a punishment of Rick it's something really Rick... And the way about shows how Morty and summer are capable of solving a situation that Rick does for teach 'em a lesson it's something for make Highlights, 'cause too many times it happens but the way that it pass in this is brilliant, too funny and honestly I felt it personal at the end. And obviously the perfect comedy breakout of end was simply perfect.

It shows how Morty could grow as person and really have problems we all know it, by the way it's really understable the way how he finish at that situations, I dunno if some of writers wanna show something Through Morty but it makes me see many things about traumas and how it's justified but at same time could do something else like destroy everything (I still like that, 'cause you know... It's Morty)

After all those years, the writers finally coming back to good old Rick and Morty Style, just the way Fascist Morty would like lol.

The episode starts a bit confusing but I was familiar with concepts like this so figured out whats going on immediately. Throughout the whole show, had some crazy ideas like putting someone in a fake life for their entire life but they never went this deep to the concept and they finally did it spectacularly well.

The episode got the dark tone to it, it gets quite serious but somehow manages to be funny at the same time which is what I love about Rick and Morty.

Quite twisty and well written episode hope the quality holds itself for the entire season.
