Nomortland

After quite a hit or miss season this episode was awesome! A sci-fi concept that's perfect for Rick and Morty, with really fantastic character work and tons of twists and turns. Really like how much time we spent with Jerry in this one, was so fun to see how his character developed. And there was one visual gaga I won't spoil that had me howling. Montages and music work really well, the multiverse is utilised fantastically in this ep, and the writing is so sharp - funny jokes and great plot, a great relief after some episodes that feel like they come from another show. This one really shines and I hope we see more like it.

"Jerrys are basically invisible. It's our superpower. Nobody sees us." - Reisender Jerry

This episode flips that on its head in the best way possible. NoMortland gives the spotlight to all the Jerrys, and honestly, it's a hilarious breath of fresh air. While Rick often uses Jerry as a punchline or comic relief, this episode lets the Jerrys shine in their own bizarre, awkward, and genuinely funny way. Despite their reputation, the Jerrys bring a unique kind of joy, and seeing them front and center is both entertaining and surprisingly heartwarming. If you're a fan of multiverse madness, weird humor, and especially Jerry being more than just background noise, this episode delivers. A must-watch for those who appreciate the chaotic charm that only a Jerry can bring to the table.

For most of the series, Jerry has been little more than a comedic device the walking punchline, the default scapegoat, always just out of reach of dignity or depth. He's the character things happen to, rarely someone they happen for. But in this standout episode, the writers take a sharp and refreshing turn, offering us a rare glimpse beneath Jerry's hapless surface and the result is both hilarious and unexpectedly moving.

The humor is as sharp as ever, maintaining the show's signature blend of absurdity, irreverence, and unpredictable wit. Jokes land with precision, and even in its most surreal moments, the episode never loses its comedic footing. But what sets this episode apart is how it manages to balance that humor with genuine character work specifically for Jerry.

For once, Jerry isn't simply there to be ridiculed. Instead, we see multiple versions of him each reflecting a different shade of his personality, or perhaps, his potential. There's the hopeless dreamer, the would-be hero, the emotionally sincere version often buried under layers of self-doubt. It's not about making Jerry cool or suddenly competent it's about giving him dimension. And it works.

What's most impressive is how organically the episode weaves Jerry's emotional arc into the fabric of its story. His growth doesn't come from a grand victory or a sudden change in fortune it comes from a quiet, almost unnoticed shift in how he sees himself. The writing trusts the audience to pick up on this subtle evolution, and it pays off.

By the end, Jerry is still Jerry flawed, fumbling, and funny but he feels more human.

Remember Mortynight Run where Jerry gets left in a Jerry Daycare with a ton of other Jerries. Well this felt like an overdue follow up to that where now Jerry gets to explore those other universes that are missing their Jerry. This episode was fun, easy going, and but also showcased the personal growth Jerry has made over the years. This episode was also the right balance of gags while having a self contained story. We see brief snippets of crazy alternate Rick N Morty universes as Jerry hops around, pausing on each just long that they never overstay their welcome or tire out their gag. It was nice seeing Jerry finally live a little after all the hard work he never does.

I started watching this show for the wild adventures of Rick and Morty - not to see the entire family taking over the season. So far, we've only had one episode that felt like the classic adventures we're used to. It's fine if the family gets an episode or two each season, but 6 or 7 out of 8 episodes being focused on them? That's just not logical.

Even Rick hasn't really done anything this season, and Morty is basically missing. The show has completely lost one of its most important elements - the fun, crazy adventures that made it special in the first place.

So far, this season feels like a huge letdown. The episodes are below average, and the direction they're taking doesn't make sense. If you want to highlight the family, give them an episode or two, or let them share scenes in each episode like previous seasons - but don't make every single episode about them.
