Wet Kuat Amortican Summer

Season seven has, to my mind, been on a bit of a good run of late which continues with episode seven. Still in the post "revenge" period, we again find the show mimicking a very specific idea from a science fiction movie and running a wild plot with it.

Because she's done some chores around the lab, Rick (Ian Cardoni) allows Summer (Spencer Grammer) to have an "attribute slider" to use at a party. Morty (Harry Belden) is incensed that he has not 'earned' one and, at the party, he and Summer come to blows - which culminates in them both falling in the pool. The Attribute Slider then fuses their bodies together, with Morty becoming her 'Kuato', a deformed version of him sticking out of her stomach and unable to communicate. Having promised to fix it in the morning, Rick continues to get drunk, but Summer discovers that there is a nightclub, exclusively for people with Kuatos where she becomes quite popular.

A role for current "internet boyfriend" Glen Powell in this one, as Kuyatt - a handsome Kuato owner who drags Summer into the scheme that makes up the bulk of the episodes plot. Again, we're not using the A-Story - B-Story format here, and the Jerry and Beth don't appear at all. This is a Summer focused episode for the most part, though Rick does come strongly into the episode in the second half. As with the last episode, it's more funny than plot driven, indeed the plot does change with Rick meta-ly joking that he though the sliders were going to be the thing this week. Generally, the humour does work, with most of the gags landing.

I don't think I'm going to looking back on this as a classic in years to come, but the good run continues.

Nobody wants more adventures of Rick and Summer, the series is called Rick and Morty and since the fourth season it has been losing its essence giving prominence to the other members of the family, Seeing Rick treating Morty literally like a dog was disappointing, the only two good episodes of the season were Rick Prime and The Hole, the others were extremely weird or boring although not as bad as those in season 5, I miss those simple but fun episodes like the one about Jerry's daycare and the ricks must be crazy.

I totally agree with the person who said this episode was good until morty turned into a kuato.

I was apprehensive about the whole new voice thing with this season, but it's proved to be an absolute banger so far, short of the first episode...

Having seen total recall loooong ago (not the remake). I honestly laughed more through this one than any episode in the last 2 seasons. The "Open Your Miiiind..." never got old, if you understood that he was actually trying to communicate, but it's all he could rattle off... It makes me laugh while I'm typing this.

The writers are on point with the dumb jokes that make this show, and the after episode shorts. I don't even hear the difference between the voice actors anymore, and anybody that does is probably still complaining about Korvo in the Solar Opposites.

I say keep up the good work, ignore the haters that can't get over a bad egg getting replaced, and down vote everything to oblivion out of pure spite.

All I really have to say about that is "Open your mind........!"

I dont know if i got the hole point of the episode, from what i can understand it should be bad and lacking sense and story. These is a spit in the face to the stupid and without meaning storys that Hollywood is spitting out no pun intended. The story has a basic plot weird choices, weird character drives for their actions, no real back story and so on. So basically every movie now a days. So this Rick and Morty delivers all that is bad in american cinema and bad writing that rules it. This was hard to watch was meaningles had all to many easter eggs to many references and every plot twist you can imagine literary in a couple of seconds. So this episodes succeeded in being bad and the rating also confirms this. Everyone that has watch this please give it a bad rating and give the writers some sense of accomplishment, i really hope this was their intent.

It was decent but felt more like a dumb fun episode than anything special. The stat device added some fun but was also didn't make sense and I found it a but stupid. I wish we saw more of Summer and Morty together or their family dynamics, as those relationships often bring depth to the story. This episode relied heavily on absurdity, leaving character development behind or reason behind. It was entertaining but ultimately just "decent." Not bad, but not great-just another decent outing in a series known for its amazing potential. Honestly still the best animated show ( although maybe ATLA beats it) I don't think Rick and Morty has had a bad canon episode because me and some others consider the mr poopy butthole episode, the incest baby episodes and the numbericons movie non canon. But it think it just might as well not be canon.
