Now THIS is a great episode!

After two weeks of mediocre or bad episodes I was really hoping they would finish the season with some great episodes so I could still look back on season 7 as a good season regardless, and this episode delivered.

Turning Valhalla into a tower defense game and "The Pope" into basically a roguelike boss were some amazing ideas that were executed very well, there were so many jokes that made me laugh out loud, I like the way they included Bigfoot in this episode after teasing his appearance 6 weeks ago (There was a future-seeing alien who predicted that Rick would get killed by the Bigfoot) and I'm especially glad we finally got an episode with a B plot.

I still think episode 6 (Rickfending Your Mort) was funnier overall but this was a very solid episode.

That was much better!

Yes, this episode was about as bizarre as the last one, but it made so much more sense! The plot of this episode is that Rick discovers there's an afterlife...of some kind. He goes to Norway to get to Valhalla to get an infinite energy source. Bigfoot helps them, but Morty lets him escape so he gets used as a weapon by the Pope. Yeah, it's THAT kind of episode. Dang, how many times have Rick and Morty died?

Imagine how long a Kill Count from "Dead Meat" would go on with this series? Anyway, I loved this episode because it was really wacky and creative. Thank you for not making the fifty billionth pedophile priest joke while still depicting the Pope as a villain. This episode really does change directions a lot and the pacing is incredible. I've come to realize how much value I put into pacing for any form of entertainment. Let's hope "Honest Trailers" doesn't make some parody of me where I talk about pacing constantly and anyway, amazing episode. ***1/2.

Worth the wait

After the entirety of season 7 they finally released an episode that is very good. Season seven had some good episodes in it, especially Jerrick one and Rick Prime one but this one is by far the best of this season.

Unlike the godawful previous episode this one is actually pretty funny and handles goofiness really well, and I know I know this sentence is dropped here and there in every episode people like but - this one really carries the energy of season 1 and 2!.

I feel like new writers and voice actors had a hard tims trying to adjust to the series but after this episode I'm pretty sure they succeeded and 'Rick and Morty' is in good hands right now. Can't wait for the season finale!

Also I know I didn't write about the episode itself that much but it's good! It has a pretty good humour, handles its plot very well, the characters really are in-character (it's not an achievement but the show couldn't really do it for past 4-5 seasons) and... after 8 episodes.... this episodes finally has a B plot! It's also not an achievement but trust me, Rick and Morty season 7 actually had no B plots until this episode. So what are you waiting for? Go watch it!

A Remarkable Episode: A Breath of Fresh Air for the Season
c-shk12 December 2023
This Rick and Morty episode is truly special, bringing a whole new level of storytelling brilliance to the series. The story is fantastic, full of surprises that keep you hooked from beginning to end - a refreshing change from the less exciting episodes earlier in the season.

What makes this episode stand out is its perfect pacing, making sure every moment is interesting and grabs your attention. It's a savior for the season, rescuing it from being just average.

The humor in this episode is a big win too, with clever jokes and well-timed punchlines that add a fun layer to the whole story.

In a nutshell, this episode gives us hope for the rest of the season, setting a new standard for what the show can achieve.

Valhalla exists
Arbutus_Unedo12 December 2023
The last episode was a total letdown with an incredibly lame and lackluster storyline. The jokes were worse than what you'd find on the worst Nickelodeon show.

However, this one reminds me of classic Rick and Morty. It feels like an adventure you find so many of in seasons 1-4 (obviously some later too, but not as many:/), with a genuinely interesting storyline full of twists and turns. There are loads of funny jokes and bits. The pacing is a bit too fast for my taste, but it still works great. Unlike the last episode's annoying and unfunny side character, this one introduces some amazing, very interesting, and unforgettable side characters.

I was seriously worried after the last episode, but this one, while not perfect, is a million times better. It shows that the writers still have that Rick and Morty magic in them.

Dormammu! I've come to bargain!

Hey this was pretty solid! People still expecting the feel and tone of the earlier seasons of this show will probably dig this. We're somehow still getting episodes this late into the show that feel in-line with what popularized it.

The afterlife, Bigfoot, the Pope, Valhalla, and body-swapping all come together into make something that's so bizarre it just kind of works. I love the scene with the Pope just killing our protagonists again and again. The repulsiveness was hilarious. I can't believe Bigfoot is just here for the entire thing too. I love that Bigfoot exists in Rick and Morty. Why not?

I do think the last scene felt kind of weird and out of character for the three leads, but that's about my only criticism. This was pretty solid overall.

Rick takes on religion
nerrdrage13 April 2024
Well you know Rick's got to be a rampant atheist so it's no surprise that this goes into hilariously sarcastic and heathenistic humor.

It's a big improvement over last week's lousy episode but some of the humor isn't exactly fresh. Repeating the same thing over and over, with the same results for example. Haven't we seen that before in Rock & Morty, not to mention other shows?

But this episode shows a lot of the imagination and irreverence we expect from this series, plus some appropriately whacky science as the basis of the premise.

So far this season has four solid episodes out of nine total. Not so hot.
