Fear No Mort

I have never wrote a review for a show, let alone an episode. But this episode was something else. The season so far was pretty inconsistent having a good episode after a terrible one. However the finale is really worth talking about. It began casual just like any other episode but at the end left me speechless. Felt like inception under 20 minutes. This is going to be my favorite episode of the show, if not my favorite episode of all time.

After all, having the ending in plain sight is what makes "Rick and Morty" outstanding from any other animated or sci-fi show. I hope Season 8 will be as good as this one keeping the consistency.

This season,even though there wasn't Justin Roiland,was very good (except one episode),but this episode? This episode not only has the classic Rick and Morty style of 2013-2014,but it's better than all of the previous seasons.

I watched this episode separated from the rest because,as i was seeing them,i received a message telling me that the father of one of my dearest friends died. This news hit me like a freight train,so much that i had to stop everything to calm down.

I barely eat, barely slept, i was anxious all the time between this news and the funeral,so i decided to watch this last episode in an attempt to distract myself and man,it really helped me.

This episode explore the theme of fear,of death,of uncertainty,it sets you right in the middle and confuse you so much that you're starting to question your own reality.

At the end of the episode i felt...lighter. It taught me that i have some fears that i have need to fight and that it's okay to doubt sometimes,if the scope is to win over those fears.

While Rick and Morty is now missing a story arch that they can focus on every so episode, it will be difficult to keep their audience long term. However this episode was a perfect example of why people love the show and what they need to do more of as they figure out their next 'big thing'. This is the type of episode that would never make the show dull. Funny and emotional at times but also makes you think. It was pretty funny that Rick and Morty in this episode were basically saying the things that we were thinking. Making it even more engaging as it felt like you were part of the show. This season did have a few misses but in my opinion more hits for sure. It's always great to end on a high note too. Overall I give season 7 an 8.5/10.

Although there is no main plot in this episode, it is even more exciting than the main plot in episode 5. It explores the psychology of Rick and Morty and their relationship to the extreme, and marks Rick's transformation from nihilism after revenge to existentialism. I'm looking forward to the unfolding of the new storyline in Season 8. After going through so much (about creator Justin Roiland), Season 7 still has two to four quite exciting episodes, at least surpassing Seasons 4 to 6. If it weren't for Episodes 1 and 8, it would be on the same high level as the first three seasons. It is not easy for a series to maintain this quality after ten years. I hope the creative team can persevere.

I came into this season with low expectations, and the first few episodes didn't really hit the mark for me, then it started getting better and better until we got this absolute gem of an episode. A perfectly concocted mix of nihilistic humour, exestential ideas and brilliant writing made this by far my favorite episode of the season, and arguably one of the best episodes of the entire show, I came out of it with the same feeling I had after watching the 'vat of acid' episode, and I am so happy that the writers and new voice actors have really pushed past all the troubles and delivered an excellent season that I think turned out to be more enjoyable than season 6. I hope that they will keep up the good work, and I look forward to season 8!
