Ranking Every Episode of “Rick and Morty” Season Four From Worst To Best
The meta-commentary we were introduced to in Claw and Hoarder comes to full fruition in this season’s equivalent of Interdimensional Cable. But although I admire the team for offering yet another anthological alternative to watching nonsensical programming from outer space, I must admit that this one was the weakest of the bunch. Sure, the Cable episodes were inconsequential, but that was part of the point. What mattered was that their stories were also grounded in external logic, something which Never Rick and Morty blatantly disregards. Why I feel fine suspending my disbelief to see Rick face off against the devil himself (like he did in Something Ricked This Way Comes), and not make his way through an extraterrestrial Story Train, I cannot say, but something really irks me about the sheer improbability of this premise. If you stop fighting the episode and just go along for the ride, it becomes more enjoyable, and while the ending leaves you feeling empty, more ashamed of yourself than betrayed by the showrunners, that’s the point.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
