Ranking Every Episode of “Rick and Morty” Season Four From Worst To Best
Marking the middle of the pack is what I feel justified in calling one of the most neutral, inoffensive and unremarkable episodes the series has yet produced. In fact, if this story were to be presented to a first-time viewer together with entries from the third season, I daresay they would not be able to tell that it was made during a different production cycle. In text-book Rick and Morty fashion, the writers picked a conceit and stick with it from start to finish, using sci-fi concepts to shed a new light on dilemmas normally reserved for only the most mundane of family sitcoms. The only reason this episode didn’t make it higher on the list is because it lost a few points for originality as another episode, Auto-Erotic Assimilation, already explored a relationship between Rick and one of his girlfriends, and Gaia was not nearly as interesting a lover as was Unity.
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?
