The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button

I never thought I'd feel this way about Rick and Morty again. Season 3 was the peak for me - since then, the show's been clever but never truly moving. But this episode? It shattered me.

Without spoiling anything, I can only say this: it's not just funny, it's honest. There's something quietly powerful about the way it unfolds. It made me laugh, then made me cry - not out of sadness, but because something deep clicked. Like the show remembered what made it special in the first place.

This isn't just a return to form. It's a reminder that behind all the sci-fi chaos, Rick and Morty still has the heart to reach you when you least expect it.

10/10 - for the feeling I didn't know I missed.

Like most of the episodes this season I feel like this one sort of lacked any of the heart previous seasons of Rick and Morty had. The Earth World b-plot was a funny concept but I just didn't feel it honestly. I did however like Mr. Dogballs. (I like anything Danny Devito lol)

BUT the thing that really made me like this episode was the main plot focusing on Rick and Beth(s) relationship. Though I just feel like the b-plot should've been cut shorter to give more time to this one because it needed some more focus, but regardless it was nice seeing some good character development.

Solid 7.5/10.

This was very enjoyable because it had a unique plot. It featured everyone except Beth and Space Beth going to an Earth themed amusement park. That is, a theme park made by an alien with his representation of Earth. It's a cool idea. The Beths end up de-aging each other. Rick comes back and the Beths actually put up a good fight against him.

I knew that was Danny DeVito's voice. It was hard to recognize all of the giant headed mascots. I recognized Hitler and Count Chocula. It's an episode with a lot going on and an original plot. The kid's voices were pretty funny too. This season doesn't seem quite as continuity heavy as most. ***1/2.

Rick and Morty has lost its spark without Justin Roiland. His iconic voice acting for Rick and Morty was pitch-perfect, infusing every line with chaotic energy and wit that defined the show's charm. Beyond vocals, Roiland's creative input shaped the wild, inventive plots that hooked fans. The new voices feel flat, lacking the manic brilliance he brought. Storylines now feel formulaic, missing his unpredictable genius. The show's soul is gone, replaced by a hollow imitation. Fans deserve better than this sanitized version. Bring back Roiland's magic! Bring him back and fix this train wreck of a show.

I'm used to Rick and Morty delivering a few bangers every season sprouted with a couple mediocre episodes here are there. This episode wasn't half bad it was good but not great. The whole Beth was a animal murderer and sadist as a kid was quickly overlooked as a gag; when I'm not sure you can use something that gruesome as a gag? The whole HumanWorld plot twist was done a million times over by the show's creators I'm not impressed. Hopefully the elite writers took over for episodes 7-10 because apart from episode 1 the rest of the season has been pretty medicore. The Father daughter sentiment was quite nice at the end of the episode but the whole two Beths thing still urks me. Pretending this weird ass Space Beth is normal cog of the show is peculiar to me. I liked the show better when they were separate and not together like before season 7.
