This episode is what I expect when I go to see an episode of Rick and Morty; not just another random intergalactic/interdimensional adventure. Throughout the series, I've seen the moral and philosophical dilemmas dealt with in a dynamic and entertaining way and that's how many of us got caught up in the series. So this episode is what I've been waiting for for a while: a story that provides more than just empty entertainment, that takes on a sensitive subject and yet doesn't seem to give you any food for thought, but does give you a sense of what the writers think about it. It feels like the first seasons.

"If you're asking whether this was a story about right and wrong, the answer is, I don't care."

After the first 3 episodes of this season, I was worried that R&M has lost its charm. And then they deliver this instant classic. Masterful writing. A great commentary on capitalism, consumerism, and ethics.

The way this episode started, I knew something is fishy, but I definitely did not expect it to be so twisted. Even the opening disclaimer could not have prepared me for this. A lot of the viewers might find this distasteful (pun intended), but this a genuinely well written episode. More of such messed up stories, please.

"Life itself is wrong, and that means death is right."

Wow, I had a great feeling at the end of this episode. Reminded me of how this show felt during the first seasons. Great story, pushing some boundaries and for bonus points a BEAUTIFUL musical number.

The new voices were almost indistinguishable. Didn't notice anything out of place. When you see a whole episode and don't get reminded of the change I think we can safely say we're over that hump.... I really like these standalone story lines, especially if they're done this well. The season started kind of shaky but there has been a slow but steady line of improvement and I hope they can keep it up.

This episode was top class. Fun for the whole ride, hilarious, but poignant at the same time. A great critique of (so-called) ethically sourced products and the human condition, along with our hypocrisy and consumerism to go with it.

Right from the initial disclaimer at the start of the episode, I was curious to see how this episode was going to tackle this particular area. I'm not sure how but it managed to do it without being clichéd and made me genuinely think and reflect.

Rick and Morty at its best. Making you laugh, wince, cringe and then start questioning why Italian food tastes so good! 10/10.

The premise of this episode is simple yet chaotic, something Rick and Morty has been praised in the past for specialising in. In this episode, Morty discovers that the "special spaghetti" that Rick has been serving is actually, in an insane twist, the flesh of an alien version of humanity that upon killings themselves, turn into spaghetti.

This concept is wacky, and fantastic, and immediately seats the viewer in for a "classic Rick and Morty adventure" of sorts.

Something special, my friends, about Rick and Morty is that since those classic adventures first happened, there has been a lot of character development. The show itself has taken up a more serious tone, given the characters more passion. And the writers have taken this and melded it with the premise so well that the outcome is an episode so shocking and heart-wrenchingly complex that I myself am stunned.

I cannot praise this episode enough. Please, whether you're a fan of Rick and Morty or not, please watch this episode. It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest things to come from this show and by far the best episode to have come from it as of writing this review.

This is not just a silly wacky episode. This is art. Something I did not expect upon starting the episode and something I still struggle to come to terms with and accept.

While the episode itself wasn't quite in the top 10, I think this represents a recommitment to the morbid nihilist humor that made the show so popular in the first place. The series never really shied away from shock humor, but season 5 showed that shock alone doesn't make great entertainment. Season 5 was all shock, no humor. Season 6 was all humor, no shock.

It really is a ray of hope to see this show has found a way to make the macabre and absurd feel smart again, even if the episode didn't have any moral to the story. I had a lot of fun watching this one. It definitely seems adult swim was leading with it's weak episodes this season.

When the plot and storyline is good, you dont even notice the voice change that much. This episode was great and probably the best of season 7 so far. I loved the concept of it. This was the first episode of season 7, which had both rick and morty for a substantial amount and I was invested in the plot. So, the voice change didn't bother me.

Also loved the message behind the episode. How ignorance is a bliss. We people always talk about humanity, morality .........but only it doesn't directly affect us. We just intentionally choose to ignore the problem when it affect our own lives. Who cares about what's happening far away for us ? Let's just enjoy our spaghetti, right ?

Compared to the previous 3 episodes, this one feels the most like the classic rick and morty we know and love. This episode has the hilariously random plot older rick and morty has, and also includes more interactions between rick, morty and the family. It won't go down as the best episode in the shows history, but anyone criticising this needs to lighten up a bit and remember rick and morty is about random adventures in space, which this episode is. Yes the voices (especially morty's in this episode) are off but it's similar enough to be bearable. So far season 7 has been below par, but this episode in particular feels like it could be in any of the earlier seasons.

This episode is exactly what anyone would want from Rick and Morty. It takes a interesting concept and combines it with an excellent plot and more importantly, great jokes. The break-neck pacing and character consistency also massively contribute to an all around extremely entertaining 21 minutes. Episodes like these are perfect to introduce someone to the show, one that doesn't overthink what makes this show so great. This episode is proof that the voice acting was never the problem, and with consistent quality writing, the change will be completely irrelevant. I look forward to the rest of the season, to see if this is a sign of things to come.

Too much of this episode relies on previous plot points that rehash, rather than develop, previous show ideas. The implications of decisions over life and death, and Rick's amoral orientation, aren't much different from themes we've seen before in Mortynight Run or Morty's Mind Blowers or episodes with Roy or any of the major Beth episodes. I was surprised that the conceit was more than just an opener, but rather the entire plot.

What's more, Belden's acting isn't as comedically on point as we're accustomed to. While I acknowledge that taking over for a previous voice actor is no easy task, the timing and delivery still need to be winning to the audience. Although Belden's performance has improved, there are several times when better timing and delivery could have saved a joke, or a mood, or both. For a conceit and plot which demand so much from the audience, the actors must therefore meet the challenge. Cardoni's Rick performance does this; Belden's performance as Morty does not. It's apparent why Morty has been featured so much less this season.

The high point continues to be the dedicated animators. Their excellent work should not be overlooked, even as the show continues drifting.

Increasingly, the show can simply be called, "The Adventures of Rick." What's more, it's starting to feel as though the writers are running out of ideas. Surprisingly, this is happening four episodes into a season where our characters are no longer limited by a multiverse where Rick is Numero Uno. Is it timidity? Boredom? Lack of collaboration? Only a portal gun to the writer's room can answer this question.

The title should say it all. No fun at all, not even in a remote way comparable to the first or second season as some other reviews are suggesting. Just grotesque and awful.

The other episodes in this season were actually quite tolerable even if not quite up to where they used to be but it seems that they have completely lost their way and the idea of what made the show funny in the first place.

It used to be a sarcastic and quite intelligent type of humor which got replaced by a more obscene and simply gross and plain kind of humor and this episode is just the pinnacle of all that went wrong with the show.

A very well written episode that is dark and very funny. The changes in voices were very noticeable in this episode but that does not change the fact that this was an awesome episode. Its bound to divide opinions because of the nature of comedy but all in all it was a great episode. It had tons of easter eggs and hidden details, has a lot of quintessential Rick and Morty episode traits like Morty trying to do his own thing, not working out, and coming back to Rick or the epic mini arcs with music that are always a treat to watch. Excited to see what's more in season 7 as the writing is proving promising in episode like this and the Jericky one.

Easily one of the best episodes of the last few seasons. The writers paid attention to every line using sattire, mataphors and real life allegories, leaving viewers with thought-provoking ideas about the society, all while being in sync with the development process of the show's characters.

Interesting part the authors become fluent in is the rapid change of the story's pace. From running and gunning to slow contemplation at a family dinner within seconds drastically shifts the atmosphere, making the viewer glued to the screen. New unique-looking side characters now each have a metaphoric meaning to add new layers of interpretation, be more though-provoking and target the older audience, instead of just being goofy and standing out, as the show aimed for in the early days.

Easily the best episode of the season so far, carries humour and a touch of feels that recent Rick and Morty was lacking. Really reminded me of season 2.

Rick and Morty do what they do best, delve into a deeply concerning issue and rip it wide open (pun intended) with its usual, characteristic sauce. It also mirrors what we experience in our daily lives without beating us over the head with it.

I really hope this kind of episode isn't a standalone for this season, and it follows through with more like it. Really got an old Rick and Morty feel from this, which I wasn't expecting, almost nostalgic.

This is by far the best episode of this season - the voice acting was on-point (IMO) - great to hear more Morty, and Rick continues to be solid but not perfect. It's a back to basics "Rick and Morty have zany adventures because Morty refused to not try to do the right thing" outing.

The spaghetti's origin premise was hilarious with a lot of great visual pay-off, but I found the ending (which was essentially identical to the The Ricklantis Mixup's "Simple Rick" ending) to be a little heavy handed and also, unfortunately, recycled.

Other than that this got me excited for next weeks' to see if they can continue the streak!

So it took 4 episodes to finally get one where Rick and Morty go on an adventure. So many shows fail because they decide to focus too much on the side characters, and it felt like this was going the same way.

Also I think they didn't want the new voice actors dominating the first few episodes, particularly as Morty's new voice is so much better than Rick's, which becomes glaringly obvious when they are together. So we got filler, side characters, and unnecessary cameos. Straight out of The Simpsons decline playbook.

This follows the trend of the previous seasons where the first few episodes are poor, followed by a few good ones, and then more filler. It makes you think they had enough material for maybe one good final season and decided to just stretch it out to milk the money. It's a good story, an allegory with a moral tale.

And they decided to butcher an Oasis song on top of it, as if using a female voice can replace the heart and soul Liam Gallagher put into that song. You lose all the meaning behind it. It's very much the same as Rick's new voice, and this new season, nothing but a heartless copy of something once great.

Not fun, honestly disgusting, and not in a good way, i did´nt smiled once, such a heavy topic, its a little hard to have fun with the episode, but i do apreciate the balls they had to do this, i miss some of that crazyness in south park, i believe that in that show it would´ve have suited better, but in Rick and Morty it was just, ugh i dont know, i felt uncomfortable i don´t even know what to say, i liked every episode of Rick and Morty so far, there was´nt a single one where i finished and was left with a bad taste in my mouth, but this one, the characters were all acting weird too, so weird that i though it was another dimension or something like that, not gonna lie the new actors did their worst on this one, they were really good on the last 3 episodes but in this one it sounded really bad, especially morty who is sounding very annoying.

A strong and brave episode taking a look at how we compartmentalise the things we do so we don't have to face the reality of the things we do to live the lifestyle we live.

With its literal connection to the food industry we can read it to be about the meat industry and how we really don't want to know how that slab of protein got on our plate, seriously, don't tell us, no really, just keep quiet about it, but in a wider context it could be about and anything else you wish, iphones and sports shoes made in sweat shops, you name it, we do it and we hide the real cost from sight.

So a brave and powerful subject delivered with stealth skill by the writing team. You'd have to be nuts to come out and say this stuff directly and team R&M have slipped it in covered in cannibal jokes. Class. Anyone keen to go vegan? Thought not.
