Low stakes story with not much in relation to the overall story progression. This is outlined very early and allows for a laid back viewing.

Some of the scenes made me belly laugh hard.

The president is an excellent character, but feels overused At this point. Give him a break for a season or two.

Contrary to this, the episode is actually a good demonstration of repeat characters making a good episode, at least for the purpose of a short-story.

The positive talk about mental health maintenance is a nice overtone in the episode.

Not what I would call a "Classic" or "Top Tier" episode, but a very easy and enjoyable watch.

This is continuing a better calibre of episode from episode one but it really does feel like the show has had a huge shake up.

It's almost as if they had a rule to not milk and reuse characters from previous episodes too much, prior to this season. They would drip feed cameos and jokes but they always made sure they didn't overdo things too much. This season looks to be doing the opposite in favour of fresh new ideas.

The relationship with the president has really run its course now and constantly harking back to therapy jokes feels beneath this show, then they bring back a character from numerous seasons past, that feels like a complete rehash with little new being said or impact to the overarching story.

I like that they're going full steam ahead but maybe try to keep some of what made the shows structure unique instead of trying to turn into The Simpsons.

It seems like ai is writing the episodes. The characters seem like charicatures of themselves. Besides, they implement "gun in your face one-liners", instead of jokes with debth that actually are relevant to the plot. It seems like all the character and depth Rick and Morty had, is gone. Evil Morty will be ruined if he makes a comeback and it all seems a bit cringe worthy. I don't have high hopes, but I'll keep hoping for Justin to come back, since it seems a lot of what he did in the show was offscript and the writers just don't understand how to get that feeling across. I hope they bring in some depth, in favor of random Family Guy-esque jokes.

This episode suffers on several levels. First, there's a recycling of ideas that doesn't really work. The audience is supposed to already know about the conceit of the recurring character, and furthermore we aren't really reminded of any of Rick's emotional connection to her until the end of the episode. The writing is relatively predictable, and there's a noticeable drop-off in attempts to add jokes-real jokes-to the script.

This is also unfortunately the first episode in which Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden's performances are not comedically up to par, and neither are the returning guest stars. Cardoni also really misses a chance to show off Rick's pathos. And sadly Belden's Morty still falls very flat in every scene, and is written in so little that this season 7 is basically "The Adventures of Rick." Sarandon seems outright bored. Hendricks carries the scenes that she's in, but she's written into too few of them to make much of a difference. This is on top of failures in sound editing (stepping on each other's lines).

Overall, the animation is top-notch, but I think the show's end is pretty much here.

It's not a bad episode but it's the worst in the show, if you consider the whole insects baby thing to be not canon, the mr poppy butthole episode to be a dream or something and the numbericons movie to be its own thing and not a part of the show then this is the worst, honesty when Rick disagreed with the guy who said he doesn't believe in therapy, then Rick said what does that even mean then apologised to him for calling him a space Mormon in felt unlike Rick I get you have to take these first steps to change Rick but it all just felt off, I think it's fine for these changes but, I think this should have been about ricks character evolving and they just skipped the whole thing where Rick made a robot to be nice to his family they could have done more with that, anyway the rest of the episode just felt like they were playing it safe I guess not as bad as everyone says but not higher than a 7.
