Morty Daddy

The main thing is, this crazy stuff doesn't seem to have any real core or lead to anything new, in my opinion. Still, it felt like this episode was made just to further emphasize Morty's failure. Also, Rick's actions didn't really align with his usual character, I think. Morty reflecting on things felt kind of forced mechanically, like he was made to reflect without a real reason. He wasn't even obligated to think about it. Maybe it would've worked better if it was presented more as multiple-choice style or something. I like his boldness, but where does it lead him? Or is something else waiting for him? I don't know.

Even though the episode was split into two separate parts, I'm unsure whether either part could actually carry the other. Jerry likes reading books, haha. And Summer doing all that just to satisfy her desires throughout the whole episode - kind of insane, haha. But still, I want more. Where do these weaker episodes lead to? Is it just a time constraint? I don't know. But creativity should go beyond time limits.

The voice acting of Rick and Morty is becoming nearly unbearable. Rick isn't too bad but I really struggle to watch any episodes that are Morty heavy.

There have been a couple of episodes that have been enjoyable this series but I cant see how much further the show can go. And this sentence is just to meet the required number of. Characters.

I was bored.

I didn't think that would happen with Rick and Morty.

A sequel of sorts to an earlier episode (though not technically his son given universe hoping), but that only served to remind me of the peak early seasons.

The trash world was... there.

The pre-cog stuff was not utilised well.

I don't want to be negative, I love the show, but the scripts are straining, the laughs less frequent and the clever sci-fi twists... aren't.

Hoping the last episode of the season is a big one. I know they don't want to do mythos episodes, but they are so good at it, I would be disappointing if it is just increasingly hit and miss self-contained episodes.

The penultimate episode of this eighth season of "Rick and Morty" is perhaps the pick of the bunch so far.

Morty (Harry Belden) gets a call from his son, Morty Jnr (Maurice LaMarche) who is near death and wants only to meet his mother, a sex-robot that has been dumped in a pocket dimension of Rick's (Ian Cardoni) creation, exclusively used to dump rubbish and broken/useless tech. Rick and Summer (Spencer Grammer) have reservations to a precog restaurant, where the food is selected for you, based on what they know you will want. However, the precogs have prepared for Rick's arrival.

I don't think is a co-incidence that that two episode that have worked the best this season are the two that stuck to the classic "A" and "B" story format and this episode is genuinely good. Film parody's a bit a played out, I admit but the nods to both "Minority Report" and "The Lord of the Rings" and just enhancements to the stories here, rather than the actual stories themselves.

The best episode of this run. Lets hope it can finish strongly next week.

All it did here was take away from what actually had potential. They could have just deleted the Rick and Summer plot and put all that screen time into fleshing out the A plot, add actual growth and resolution to their relationship, and not just make a joke out of it like they seem to do with every single thing they know the viewers care about.

Why are they making the show at this point? All they seem to wanna do is just spite the audience. Just quit. Sell the IP and let someone else take over. The amount of disdain from the writers this show emanates is so bizarre.
