Five months wait for episode 6 of season 4 was worth it, because I was laughing one second and then startled, jaw dropped the other second. This episode takes on a couple of things at once, but it works. It's a crazy episode (probably the most crazy in the entire series so far) and it gets the job done speaking directly to the fans. There's plenty of action and jokes for the audience to appreciate. Animation team did an amazing job as well. Great episode, 10/10

This R&M at its most meta. The story possibilities are endless, the plot flows and twists and makes the viewer question everything in the show. If you're not down for ingeniosity and change, this episode, and this show, are not for you. This is great, well-written and entertaining. Can't wait for the rest.

This episode was amazing so much happens in 22 mins and the jokes are just hilarious it's crazy to see so much in one episode with reoccurring characters from other episodes

This was more complex than Westworld finale. It really feels like they learned how to break the 5th wall, or even the 6th. Rick and Morty going off the rails on a crazy train, sir!

Constantly throughout I was engaged while also beging for answers. This is Rick and Morty in Its most complex, and I mean that in a good way. This episode pulls you into focus, while trusting you will use full maximum creativity to piece together the story. It's the Ambiguity of the episode that will mess with you, while insinuating striking questions. Really by the end you get most of it, or maybe you don't.

It could be the new writers but something has just felt off ever since season 3. Dan Harmon has a tendency to slowly ruin the shows that he has created (community), and I think he's doing it now with Rick and Morty. It's a funny episode and creative but it doesn't hold a candle to anything in Season 1 or 2.

I'm convinced Charlie Kaufman secretly wrote this episode.

I'm a big fan of the show. But this episode moves into territory everyone should stay out of - author onanism. Authors inserting themselves or their work into the narrative. If you want to talk about how you create, do a "making of". Don't write a show with constant nods to yourself. It's pretty uninteresting stuff for viewers who have come to watch original and thought provoking sci-fi. R&M have occasionally strayed into the subject of screenwriting before, but rarely, and never without having a solid storyline besides. This time they go overboard and there is no storyline besides this self-indulgence.

So, worst episode ever, and hopefully R&M return to form next week.

They came back with an absolute gem of redemption for the 2nd half of S4.... & no one realizes it.

The meaning of life is to buy stuff, and you should buy into this episode. Which I think gave us a sneak peak of what's to come. This was so damn funny

I really liked it, but it could've been a little better.. Still it's a great Rick and Morty episode, taking you to rollercoaster of bizzare storytelling...

I watched thIs episode 3 times. The second time in order to comprehend everything I have missed or didn't fully understand and the third time, after a few days, in order to reevaluate my thoughts about it. I completely understood the storyline and the massage/s. I'm not saying I didn't like it. As a massage/idea, it was brilliantly served. I'm just saying that I'm disappointed that the writers chose to deal with that instead of serving the fans a good old cool and thrilling adventure like they used to. I sincerely hope that there will be a few lovely adventures in the next episodes before the writers come back with one of those stories again... We have waited to long and we deserve it. Long live Rick and Morty😁

This episode in my own opinion was a lot better than the previous ones, it was funny and had really confising moments, but it all made sense in the end. Cant wait for more

It might not be for everyone, but I was in love with this episode. I sincerely think this is in my top ten for the series at least. I keep seeing reviews saying the episode is too confusing, but tell me where you lost it or what exactly didn't make sense! The deconstruction of the story structure and the non-stop action fueled comedy is miles better than episodes three and four this season. Don't you dare compare this to Claw and Hoarder and the talking cat.

Looking back in retrospect this episode has a ton great parts going for it. The point of the episode is the Rick and Morty are stuck on a metaphorical train that figuratively explains the writing style of Dan and Justin throughout the entire episode. The train represents the stages that Dan takes to write and episode of Rick and Morty explores many different aspects such as "do's and don'ts", canon and non-canon timelines, fan appeal and a ton more. And they do a creative job of putting the episode together, almost as they would go about actually writing an episode (hence the layers of meta in this episode.) When you start to look back at how the episode is put together, you start to get a better understanding of what Dan and Justin were doing with this episode and the type of meta thinking. However the big problem with this is now this episode can almost only be enjoyed by those who are dedicated fans and understand Dan and Justin's style of writing. A person who occasional watches this show would see this episode and most likely have a very hard time understanding what is happening the episode and find it even harder to find any of the humor sprinkled in throughout the episode appealing. When an episode starts to get too complexed like this, it starts to take away the accessibility from new or common fans who just want to watch the show. I personal love this episode but can only give it a 7 as it is an episode that requires you to understand the creators of this show to actually appreciate it.

We are witnessing the FamilyGuy-ization of Rick and Morty right now. Ok admittedly this is a interdimnesional cabel (sort of) episode so it is supposed to be a clip show. But it is just not funny. And failing that there is just no saving the thing.

Also Episodes 1-5 haven't been that well structured or funny either. Rick and Morty used to be a really thoughtful show with deep underlying philosophical themes and a primordial existential dread to juxtapose everything with.

That is what I want from R&M and they just don't deliver anymore. Even the weakest episodes in season 1-3 had more to say then this. The "There is no point, come watch TV" moment is actually from another clip show episode, so its not like I am asking for stuff that hasn't been there before.

This episode, or rather the whole season, has been subpar for the standards they have set in the past.

This is a wonderful episode. It's a true masterpiece.
