My ratings of Rick and Morty Season 1, im currently on Season 9 Episode 1, so ill post the other rankings in the following days

Episode 1: 7/10, Solid pilot, its funny but the concept isnt that intresting, overall solid

Episode 2: 7.6/10 Another preety basic one, I like the dog plot and I like how they return to it later, definetly not bad and introduces more of the characters, I wish we got more of Mortys dog before immediatly making him super smart, I like how Rick puts Morty in a hospital bed, its funny, preety solid episode

Episode 3:

Anatomy park is a really out there concept for this early in the show, never the less, I love this episode, its really creative and honestly just fun, the family plot bums it down a bit, even if its kind of funny, 8.5-9/10

Episode 4:

This is the best of the show so far, out there concept and I really like how much they focus on Jerry here, the final twist is really good and the episode has a way of shifting the plot after you think the episode ended, one of the best of this season, Jerrys plot was also really funny and showed more of his character, I might just be a Jerry fan tbf, 9.2/10

Episode 5:

Another classic, another Jerry episode, Meeseeks are really fun, its a really good, fun episode with a great concept, 9/10

Episode 6:

The middle run of season 1 is unmatched, this is easily one of the best, althought the concept starts of simple, the show has a way of evolving it into something which has major concequences for both characters, overall, this episode is awesome and the ending really shows you more of who Rick is as a person, I love how they keep returning to the prime dimension later in the show, it turns a simple episode into something life changing for both Rick and more importantly Morty, 9.2/10

Episode 7:

Its a preety good episode, althought a slight step down from.the previous, I wish we took a moment to focus on the impact of the previous episode, but the Morty having a son plotline is funny, I like how they bring his son back later, personally I like that episode more then this one, I like the B plot as well, more Summer and Rick adventures, 7.6/10

Episode 8: 6/10

Possibly the only episode of the season I dont like, honestly.. I like the second version of it with the B plot of Jerry cutting off his dick way more, this one is kind of boring, althought the B plot makes up for it, I definetly like funny and out there concepts, but the tv channels get tiring after like 5 minutes off it, it has some good humor, but its easily the weakest along with the pilot

Episode 9: 7/10, the Summer and the Devil plot is good, but I think the Jerry and Morty plot is better, its a enjoyable episode with more focus on Jerry, who as I said, I really like, especially in the early seasons, some nice development for all characters involved, besides Beth

Episode 10: 8/10, I like the Citadel episode, but honestly I find this is one of the weaker ones, I love the concept but it comparison to the other ones it falls a bit flat, however this was the episode that started the PLOT of rick and morty, which I like

Episode 11: 8/10, The season finale finishes off strong, focusing on Rick and Mortys dynamic, as well as Ricks struggles, its a fun episode which ends of a really good season of television, its not one of the best episodes, but its funny and ties it up nicely

Overall ranking from worst to best:

8<1<9<7<2<11<10<3<5<6<4

Overall season ranking:9.2/10, im ranking the episodes on enjoyment, concept and execution of that concept, as well as the humor, keep in mind im rating this diffrently then I would rate something like Breaking Bad, Rick and Morty simply, most of the time, isnt that kind of show, if an episode is purely story related ill rank it a little diffrently, im amazed the show can pull off both really good episodes story wise as well as comedy wise

I like Rick and morty

I enjoy a character who's a prepared badass.

S9 E10 we see a warped version of the smith family that are psychopathic and abusive towards their Morty. But they kinda had a point about Rick and Morty going on suicide missions and all the crazy shit they go through.

Spoiler warning for season 8 and 9.

So for most of the series I assumed Rick's behavior was rooted in his grief for Dian and Beth. He was always a bit of a hedonist with the drinking and drugs, but their lose drove these behaviors into an extreme. The drinking became full blown alcoholism, the drugs into full blown addiction.

Looking into the psychology of addiction, you can find lots of information on how addiction leads to extremely warped, destructive behaviors. I think most of Rick's most extreme character flaws can be traced back to this. His short temper, recklessness, lack of empathy, and extremely dysfunctional family dynamic all read like an addict failing to keep it together.

Now for the trick. In season 8 we see rick extracting the traumatic memory of Dianes death from his brain. You'd think this would remove the primary driver for Rick's destructive behavior. But the thing is, he's still an addict. He might not be running from his grief anymore, but he still has years of dysfunctional behavior patterns and a physical dependence on substances to deal with.

We see early in season 9 that he's still as antisocial and miserable as ever. Still emotionally stunted. Still incapable of genuine connection and still a slave to his vices.

His grief may be what started the spiral, but its become self sustaining. Stopping it may require more from Rick than he's capable of giving.

Also, side note:

I think Rick's nihilism is also a result of his addictions. Rick clings to the darkest interpretation of the multiverse because it frees him from responsibility for his bad behavior. If nothing matters then thetes no readon not to dive head first into hedonistic indulgence until you self destruct. No reason to ever feel guilty. No reason to ever admit fault.

just asking im kinda curious and please enlighten me

whats the motive of killing all Diane in all multiverse and idk im just saying that my theory is that Diane accidentally wiped out Rick Prime’s parent in front of his eyes in omega device and thats the reason we never see his parent in this entire show.. for me its kinda diabolical if Rick Prime motive was only wiping out Diane just only Rick C-137 or any other Rick upset his feeling.

Please enlighten me im just very curious 😅🙏🏻

I believe there will be an episode in which Morty rebuilds the Prime Universe. He could do this by stealing some of the stuff from Rick C-137 and bringing in other humans, probably around 40% Jessica and 60% Mortys. He has the base of Rick Prime there, so he could steal from him too.

Evil Morty would support Morty Prime because the entire Citadel has been destroyed, and millions of Mortys need a home. When Mortys come from different dimensions, they steal technology from their Ricks and scan everything, so every Morty could eventually be on Rick's level.

Otherwise idk what the point is of stretching thin the talent, using up jokes, animation gags, etc. in this lesser show? It must be a whole other team right? Like. Right? This must be a training grounds for Future Rick and Morty creators.

I know, I know - we've all seen it. But if you don't enjoy watching it again then you aren't someone I want to know in this life.

That is all.

As you were.

Im just watching the new season of Rick and Morty baked and thinking, did anyone ever whos not a stoner watched the show? And if so, how do you feel about it?

Do you watch Rick and Morty only when youre stoned, both stoned and sober or only sober? Just curious, since Ive never watched it sober

I liked both plots. Andre's ex-wife was unexpectedly pretty boss and I LOVED how O'Doyle bonded with Gun Baby. Also, Chomps ended up being my favorite character in the whole episode. Overall, a great time and the best episode so far. WAY better than "Triangle".

Imagine this: in season 13/14 (whenever the show ends) Morty has to throw himself into the omega device to defeat Evil Morty. I haven’t watched season 9 yet so if this happens and I’m right don’t tell me in the comments :/

What do you think is the best episode to show to someone who has never seen rick and morty before?

I just woke up and got high and for some reason I wanted to watch Rick and Morty. I’ve never ever actually watched Rick and Morty. It just seemed like a fun show to watch while being high. And I was like wth is this show even about. Why was Rick saying Morty’s name after every fucking sentence. And at the end of the episode he kept repeating Rick and Morty and it was just so fun to watch the first episode. All of this is just so random
