I say shit ig

Compared to the rest of this season it wasn’t nearly as emotionally heavy.

It does go into the theme of the parentification of Morty and Summer, but not enought for the episode to become heavy. Which there's actually quite a few episodes that do this. Definitely more than there are episodes who have themes themes upfront.

It was more funny than anything else honestly, and I'm fine with that because I needed a laugh after some of the earlier episodes.

The ending and post credits specifically were hilarious. Also Rick feels under appreciated while he underappreciates people... huh.

Seeing Beth and Jerry's relationship on the more wholesome side of it was nice. And again, her abandonment issues not wanting to let herself depend on him for anything.

I also liked seeing more of Summer and Morty's relationship, they're the ones who get each other best after what they've been put through honestly.

Also I can't tell if Morty re-gained his empathy or if he's just acting. Knowing him, it could be either.

Looks like my current hyperfixation is going to get me to read a book I bought almost a year ago and had been putting on standby in favor of others.

Honestly I was considering whether I should read it or not, since most likely it will just have like 2 references/similarities or something, but I figured, hey. It's actually quite short, I could probably read it in a day, plus, I already have it just laying around...

So now the other 2 books I was in the middle of are on standby

Sigh

WTF WTF WTF WAIT WHAT HOLD YOUR HORSES I NEED TO REWATCH THAT 3 TIMES

Ok so Rick made Morty cry before the opening theme played, nice going asshole. AND THEN MORTY BECAME THE ASSHOLE honestly he shot the monster, was so done with Summer, did the thing with the ship, but the most striking thing was that he delivered the COLDEST lines insulting Rick because.... yeah. But also that was so damn cold even Rick hesitated for a second before realizing what happened because Morty would never say that.

The fact that Morty basically just asked for a hug at the end broke me, and none of what Rick did, said, or gave him really helped with that for me because he was under the influence of the bug. He did kinda tell the kid to keep his emotional distance from him in the end so that's that.

Also, Rick got rid of the bug, but did Morty get his empathy back? Like, did Rick fix that? I couldn't tell... I think not because of him not enjoying the card tho. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.

Also Jerry scaring a serial killer was peak (we all knew he was gonna get shot as soon as he came out, which totally deserved btw, since, well, serial killer.)

I'm a Morty fan, can you tell I'm a Morty fan? I love Morty. He's my kid. He does not deserve to be told he's bait by Rick, he even argues that Rick had told him he wasn't before, that broke my heart, the kid breaks my heart.

TLDR: Rick is an emotionally unavailable asshole, so instead of dealing with the consequences of his actions, he drugs his grandson.

I didn’t dislike the episode. I think it's cool that Morty wasn’t the one in the wrong and falling for a trap strangers plan for him. It doesn't happen that often, so I love to see it.

It definitely wasn't as emotionally heavy as the previous ones from this season. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The concept was interesting and it kept me engaged, so I consider that enought.

That said... Holy. Fucking. Shit. Did you see the preview of episode 8????

It left me in shock from only the few seconds it played. I consider this last episode a break because of what is about to happen on the next one. I'm gonna start emotionally preparing myself for that now.

This season has been so peak, this might be my favorite episode!

Can we take a moment to talk about the blow dryer and mirror Rick has because of course he does- Diva. You know who else is a Diva? The mechanic girl. I'm so gay for her.

This episode is basically an "I found the bitch who keeps ruining my life" and then they're standing in front of a mirror meme. Not complaining.

It also feels like a bigger metaphor that I'm too dumb to understand. At least he can love his grandkids separately. My heart dropped when he said he wasn't Morty'd grandpa until that scene continued. I thought it was about to take the Prime direction.

Also Morty keeps resembling evil morty with mannerisms and expressions more by the episode, but more than becoming evil I think it just signifies him growing to be more independent and getting more tired.

I actually loved that so much, specially Morty being so done with everything. He has grown a lot, and the little hair ruffle from Rick at the end AHHHHH!
