Summer of All Fears

Every start of a new Rick & Morty season you wonder, you hope, you wish for it to start good, this time they sure did it.

This episode has one of the best writings of any episodes of the series. It has all the right Rick & Morty beats - it starts with not knowing what the hell is going on.

It continues with realizing it a total messed up episode that Rick caused.

It keeps you wondering where its going.

A lot of heart and hard stuff that I'll keep on thinking for a while.

A Definite multiple review episode.

Damn man, you guys sure can write a script, I barely even notice the departure of Justin Roiland. You can still hear the difference of Rick (Morty is almost spot on) but when the story is that good I really don't mind.

Hopefully the season will have at least 3-4 episodes like this.

Not a bad episode, but not a very good one either

the plot is predictable, the use of a "let's forget anything happened" device makes for a boring ending and obviously won't get overused, because that's how you make series that lose all char. Development and when nothing matters anymore since it can be reset. The story isn't very subtle , and though i've caught some interesting points (mostly surrounding beth's narcissism) , the writing feels subpar . Again, this is just my opinion and I may have missed stuff here

the humor isn't here yet either, at least for me , i only cracked a smile less than I have fingers on my right hand

at least it's better than s7e1 lol.

That first episode was literally everything. The dynamics we know and love, the stakes we're there for, and of course, Morty going off the rails😂. However, I miss Jerry. Personally, I love episodes that deepen the dynamic between Summer and Beth. So this episode is a keeper for me. It reminds me of the first few episodes of Rick and Morty that got me hooked instantly. I honestly can't believe I thought Rick and Morty had gone downhill. They clearly just needed some time to adjust to the whole Justin Roiland thing, and now they're back and stull😍 strong. Pretty solid episode. Solid comedy. Can't wait for more.

I don't have access to Matrix technology, but I can now just play this episode on repeat.

Does that make me a bad parent?

Yes.

But God damn it, it's my damn charger.

So this episode was a fine return for Rick and Morty, and I have hope for a very solid season. Rick and Morty isn't a guaranteed hit week in and week out anymore, but it is still one of the best shows on TV and one of the best shows ever.

I'm in this for the long haul, because dammit, the writers built a whole episode about not returning a phone charger.

Morty and Summer will never age, so it is nice to see the adult versions of them occasionally.

The 7th season left us with the most cliffhanger of finales: a well structured and written one after so many let downs. The first season started with the same meticulously crafted narrative with some used up plotlines but explored in a unique fashion. I love the philosophical and political parallels dressed up within a cartoon and joyish fun. If you ask me that is completely the point of Rick and Morty to begin with. To this trajectory I very much approve. The journey you used to embark when you watched this show used to be unpredictable. I feel like we return to this organised chaos that produces the essence of the show. Please continue like that.
