Pretty good episode! Not Rick and Morty's best but definitely not their worst
11 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed this episode as the opener for Rick and Morty's new fourth season. It may not be the best that Rick and Morty has had to offer, but it was a good episode nonetheless. It had its fair share of funny moments, including a fascist shrimp universe, something that you would only see on this show. It mostly felt like Rick and Morty was back to its charm and had the same self-aware sort of nihilistic humor though I did feel like some parts of the episode felt a bit off to me from the show's usual tone and energy, something that I also felt a little bit throughout parts of Season 3. I also felt like some of the pacing and the story structure/decisions to the episode were strange, and the whole bully subplot was a bit weird and the same with the courtroom scene. This episode definitely had its faults, but it was definitely very enjoyable in its kind of humor that you can only get from Rick and Morty, intense and shocking moments and action with great animation, and cool scientific concepts. I hope that this review didn't sound too negative because even though I didn't love everything about the episode, I still found it very enjoyable, and the show still has its lively, intense, and chaotic charm to it, and that is something that I missed quite a lot. I am looking forward to what the rest of the season has to offer!
