Rickmancing the Stone

I enjoyed this episode along with the one before it they both had moments that were great and I'm so glad this season started out this way

It's great to go back to "Rick And Morty" after all this time. Well, they already came back what with the April 1st episode, but now they're continuing. I don't understand why so many people are so negative about this episode. While not one of the best, it's certainly great for me. It's probably because we get a great sense of continuity. Jerry has finally divorced his wife and we actually see some change in the status quo in the series. There's a pretty weird subplot about Morty getting this muscular arm that attacks everyone. I laughed out loud when the arm punched Rick.

He kind of deserved it. This episode was mostly a parody of "Mad Max". Not just "Fury Road" but the series as a whole. I just love that movie so much I can't help but love references to it. It's also a lot of fun to have Summer take a big role and show how strong she is. I like how Rick just casually leaves them behind, but you know he'll come back for them eventually. The scene after the credits wasn't really that good. Weird how the rating's 8.6 when there's tons of negative reviews here. The robot duplicates were really funny too. ***1/2

The First two seasons were excellent with dark humor and adult jokes. The third season so far has not lived up to the standard of the first two seasons. The animation seems the same, but the writing is just off. Every episode of the first two seasons had me laughing out loud at least once an episode and really engaged in the weird outlandish sci fi story lines. This particular episode was boring and straight up not funny. It felt like a milk toast Simpsons episode where it tries too hard to be funny and just couldn't get there. This episode was mildly entertaining, but felt completely out of place in the series. I am not sure what has happened to the shows writers (Did they hire new writers and fire the old ones?) but this was the worst Rick and Morty episode of all the shows-- It just wasn't funny,and kind of boring.

The wit, the deadpan humor, the pacing, the creativity: all discarded in this installment for boorish detail and pointless narratives -- both devoid of the kind of irony and honesty that we have an apparent luxury to expect from Rick and Morty. Considering how it almost played out like a completely different show, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the person who wrote "Rickmancing the Stone" has never viewed a single episode of the previous two seasons, but has been described in shallow depth the characters and humor featured and so beloved on this program. While invested fans may arrive at disappointment, however, they needn't keep their prospects so narrow for the forthcoming episodes of this usually kinetic series; after all, this actually may not be the worst script produced of the entire show, as it is just so bewilderingly incompatible from everything that preceded in its path.

Rick and Morty are back, and as a loyal fan of the show for some time, I say this episode is one to watch over and over again like so many others. Will the divorce be forever, will Rick fulfill his quest for power? The strange worlds, or strange alternate worlds are great and the only thing that could be better is if it were twice as long. However, I guess leaving us wanting more is important. Keep it up I say, make 10,000 more episodes and a 100 movies, and maybe 10 video games.
