The Ricklantis Mixup

This episode might be off-track for those, who did not see season 1, but a major reward for everyone, who knows the back-story of the Citadel of Ricks. I cannot say that the major plot twist in the end is unexpected, because somehow you suspect it all along, but the built-up of the entire episode is so good that you can't really concentrate only upon that. This one is pure gold, and when the end theme plays, you will feel the good old "DAMN" feeling, that you felt at Rick Potion #9, Auto-Erotic Assimilation, or Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind.

One of my friends once said he wanted to know what kind of weed do you have to smoke to come up with such brilliance. This episode reminded me of exactly what genius the writers are capable of.

The episode is full of drama, crime, hope and despair. But somehow layered in all that intellectual plot, there is humor.

Every fan of the series is in for a big surprise as far as this episode is concerned. Best so far this season.

So R&M has transcended being a silly little cartoon with many episodes, this season promised darker and has delivered with every episode. I think this is possibly the strongest episode to date and really addresses some very deep societal issues, which might be jarring for some, but they do so in such an accessible way that I found it brilliant.

The homage to Training Day and Stand by Me were so well done, touches of Snape Rick were also very nice. I cannot wait to see where they go next, this show, though grotesque and vulgar at times, it just fantastic.

When the creators said they are going to get dark, I totally bought that because I know their capabilities. This episode was on a different level altogether. So many plot changes, brilliant writing, obviously makes you laugh and scares you at the same time. One of the Top 10 episodes in the history of television.

Every once in a while an episode of a TV show comes along that is truly remarkable. This is not just a great episode of Rick and Morty, but one of the greatest episodes of television I've ever seen. They manage to do so much rich storytelling in such a short amount of time that you can't help but watch and marvel. The episode's events build to an extremely rewarding payoff in the final seconds. The multiple tropes being parodied make the episode accessible to even casual viewers, but the icing on the cake is the momentous reveal that will stun and electrify die-hard fans. This episode is a triumph!
