Summer of All Fears

Not a bad episode, but not a very good one either

the plot is predictable, the use of a "let's forget anything happened" device makes for a boring ending and obviously won't get overused, because that's how you make series that lose all char. Development and when nothing matters anymore since it can be reset. The story isn't very subtle , and though i've caught some interesting points (mostly surrounding beth's narcissism) , the writing feels subpar . Again, this is just my opinion and I may have missed stuff here

the humor isn't here yet either, at least for me , i only cracked a smile less than I have fingers on my right hand

at least it's better than s7e1 lol.

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.

Every start of a new Rick & Morty season you wonder, you hope, you wish for it to start good, this time they sure did it.

This episode has one of the best writings of any episodes of the series. It has all the right Rick & Morty beats - it starts with not knowing what the hell is going on.

It continues with realizing it a total messed up episode that Rick caused.

It keeps you wondering where its going.

A lot of heart and hard stuff that I'll keep on thinking for a while.

A Definite multiple review episode.

Damn man, you guys sure can write a script, I barely even notice the departure of Justin Roiland. You can still hear the difference of Rick (Morty is almost spot on) but when the story is that good I really don't mind.

Hopefully the season will have at least 3-4 episodes like this.

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)
