Childrick of Mort

This episode was average at best but still pretty funny in parts. As with any show you're not going to like every single episode which is something the toxic fans don't seem to understand

I am so glad that the abomination of Season 4 Episode 6 seems to be a one off. Episode 7,8 and now 9 turned out to be really great episodes, full of funny and original moments. I think 9 personally was one of the best in the season, it had that classic Rick and Morty feel where Rick unleashes his mega-genius and does something pointless but entertaining. I know it seems like "Oh they aren't sticking to the story now" but I think this type of Rick and Morty is satisfying for the majority of viewers, at least for the time being. I think (and hope) they will return to a more directional story next season, but let's be happy with what we have now because it really was nothing to complain about (apart from episode 6).

This episode wasn't anything special, but there weren't really any flaws. It wasn't really funny, but it had decent structure and some good scenes.

The beginning was great. There is a lot of really quick fun social commentary, and an interesting setup. The middle lost itself a bit, but overall I enjoyed it a lot. Hard to compete with the last episode though.

It was starting to get noticeable and a little weird that the rest of the Smith family have been largely absent for much of season four. Except for the occasional glimpse into what's going on back at Morty's house, usually to fire off a joke or two at Jerry's expense, it feels like the grounded, sitcom half of Rick and Morty has been all but abandoned in favor of going hard on the sci-fi rigmarole. Summer gets included on adventures more than Beth or Jerry, but we haven't seen that much of her regardless. She had a pivotal role two episodes ago in "Promortyus," but she was only actually in it for the back half, a good lot of which was spent flashbacking to what had happened to Rick and Morty.
