Greatoneshere Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 First episode of season 7 aired last night - it was pretty good! First Hugh Jackman voices a character on Human Resources and now he voices a version of himself in this, he was great in both. Nice to see where a lot of Rick's "friends" are currently at in their lives with Gearhead, Squanchy, Mr. Poopybutthole and Birdperson (now with Birdaughter). I didn't even notice the new voices at all except Rick sounds nicer/less drunk. Hoping for a strong season given the last three seasons have had some really great episodes and then some bad . . . incest baby-type episodes. A strong start so here's hoping.

legend Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Anywhere to stream this without cable? Amazon has a stub for the page, but no episodes listed. I'd be willing to buy the season if they actually release the episodes there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, fun little unintentional easter egg that you can tell that this was made before Jackman got divorced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Oh shit, gotta watch this tmw evening after work. Also, Morty sounds exactly the same. I can tell Rick is different, but the non-yelling voice is a good resemblance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Watched the Season opener, it was perfectly…OK. I laughed a few times but it never hit any particularly lofty heights. Update: Watched episode 2, now that I enjoyed. It followed the path of an episode I prefer (an odd premise that allows a lot of freedom with how the story progresses).

Interesting as I thought episode 2 was also weird and not very good vs. enjoying it (though it was a nice, odd premise). It wasn't that funny and while it wasn't bad it seemed to be going for more heart and drama than it was able to sell for me. Now last night's episode, episode 3 was really good. Bringing Unity back was smart and making the episode about where their relationship is today and bringing in the therapist sold the heart and drama much better than Rick connecting with Jerry in episode 2. When Rick is listening to the voicemails and hearing how nice and caring she sounds vs. how his vitriolic responses to her throughout the episode leave her angry instead at the end was really well done - Rick fucked up and lost having her as at least a friend again.

It was too tonally all over the place for me to really get into a groove with it. I saw the different points it was trying to make but suicide = food is just weird to me. I get the Soylent Green reference as well as them pointing out the issues with mass food production and consumption but not a lot of laughs - solid montage for the one spaghetti guy at the end though. The post credits scene of trees and vacuum cleaners was a definite WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was a strong moment that reminded me of Rick and Morty seasons 1-3 type of stuff, where it sold a scene when it wanted to take itself seriously.

Greatoneshere Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Yesterday's episode was really good! The writing was tight and evil Morty's sarcastic remarks really brought some good laughs and we finally resolved the evil Rick plotline while getting more on what evil Morty has been up to. Using a Mazzy Star song again, calling back to one of Rick and Morty's best episodes ever (from season 1) was a ballsy choice, but I think it mostly worked since this time it was flipped and it was Rick going through it rather than Morty. Even the post credits scene with Slow Mobius' wife was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 That was another solid, B-tier episode of Rick and Morty. Nothing great but fun. Episode felt a little thin, like taking different shorter sketches and combining them into one episode was a little jarring (Rick and Morty attempt to harness an infinite energy source, Bigfoot escapes and hunts a clone Rick with no brain; then a complete pivot to the Pope combining the A and B plots). Weird for the penultimate episode of the season, but I imagine with the show having closed out the Rick Prime plot and put to bed a lot of the evil Morty stuff as well as revisiting a lot of the supporting characters in the first episode that the show, with a 70-episode order to fulfill, is trying to become as episodic as it can possibly make itself which would explain the very episodic nature of this season.

Greatoneshere Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 That was a really strong season finale - the Hole is a great idea for an episode of Rick and Morty. Throwing Diane in there also helped. Also something dark is happening in the Mr. Poopybutthole plot. I do like episodes where Rick and Morty call out every version of the horror premise to dispel them only for the loop to drive them crazy anyway. On to season 8.

SaysWho? Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I really enjoyed the finale. The ending of it reminded me of the ending in the last episode in the sense that it Spoiler kept looping. And as the writers said, they straight-up have the characters mention that they may still Spoiler be in the hole so viewers wouldn't be a step ahead of the episode. Good stuff. Overall an enjoyable season with 3 or 4 episodes that I felt really gelled more than others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
