Ranking Every Episode of “Rick and Morty” Season Four From Worst To Best
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been a fan of the way the series titles its episodes. I’ve also never been a fan of stories that consist mostly of running gags and not much else. Get Schwifty was one of those, but at least the zany, pointless plot was counterbalanced with some genuine character development. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Claw and Hoarder, whose throughline appears to be that dragons are sluts and, you guessed it, not much else. The talking cat—whose horrific yet unknown past was a creative commentary on the unbelievably high expectations imposed by some nosy fans—made for a more thoughtful B-story, even it turned out to have been indicative of the overload of meta-commentary that was in store for us moving forward.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
