Unmortricken

Just when I thought the show was eclipsing on a point of no return, this episode swoops in as a lifeline. The overarching story in this show is absolutely brilliant; shrouded in mystery. As long as this story continues (with the familiar morty ;)) I will be watching.

I won't spoil the episode. The animation is stunning, probably the best the series has seen yet. The story is brilliant. The ending is gut-wrenching. Give it a watch, even if you havent yet watched the beginning of season 7.

There's no doubt this show has been experiencing its ups and downs lately, but I fully trust the process. We have 3 more seasons at least and seems they've had it all planned for a while, so I am excited for what's to come.

I'm just thinking about this seasons finale now. This show doesn't have a great track record when it comes to season finales, typically throwing the most important episodes halfway through the season (like this one) but I really hope it goes out with a bang.

10/10!!!

This could be the series finale.

Everything comes to an end. The laughs, the comedy, the relationships, the love, the revenge plots, the ultimatums, the delusional partnerships... It all lead up to this.

I feel like Rick and Morty, as a show, was truly set free in this episode. All the episodic, over-serialized drivel we've seen last few seasons, well, it was meant for this very moment.

Was it worth it? No. Because nothing is. It's all meaningless, isn't it? That is the entire point of the show. Everybody has a grudge. Everybody dies. And it's never satisfying. It never feels like a conclusion. It's all pixie dust. Narrative pixie dust to make you click "play next". The writers' cynicism is at full play here and I love it.

Well, this could be the actual ending, but I choose to keep going. Because the new creative team shows actual vision, promise and an uncompromising voice. I'm excited for the future and I hope this isn't the last of the overarching storylines, as meaningless as they may seem at first glance. This episode was truly cathartic, and I enjoyed every second of it.

The best episode of the entire show, narratively speaking. A masterpiece. Can't wait for the next one.

I just hope it leads to some major changes in the episodes to come and not like we're back to a previous level yet again.

Also, it didn't feel like a proper closure not with a Rick walking out of the closed doors of the chamber. What happened there that we didn't see.

Anyway, two of the major plotlines were mashed together and ended up in a scene without a visible cliffhanger. A chance to search for a new driver for the series maybe.

I wish this episode was a proper movie, and I didn't have to carry through it the excitement and sadness all at the same time. I mean the movie would be nice, but probably it would be too hard to switch to different gears, probably it wouldn't work. Who knows, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to take the resources used on unimportant episodes and transfer them on a movie.

Actually I thought at first that this season is going to be a disappointing season, since the first episodes wasn't a typical Rick and Morty episodes, they were much less than expected, and with the previous season at mind that was only good or average to be honest, also the new voice actors doesn't just feel right, the first episode was lame and filled with emptiness so is the second and third, the fourth wasn't as bad as them, in fact it was decent and very Rick and Morty episode, my first thought about this episode was mah, I hope it turns to be like the previous and not like the first, But when I watched it, it caught me by a surprise, what a shock, to be honest I didn't expect that such an epic episode would be in the middle of this season, I hope this season keep on improving and getting even better.

Back when I first watched this show, I thought that Total Rickall was the best episode of the show. Then, ever since it aired, I thought that The Vat of Acid Episode was the best episode of the show. Now, I can unequivocally say that this episode, Unmortricken, is the best episode in the entire series. I'm not going to give spoilers in this review, but this episode felt like everything that the series was working up culminating in what can only be described as a perfect form. Heck, this could have been the series finale if they wanted it to be. I'm excited to see where the show goes from here.
