Summer of All Fears

That first episode was literally everything. The dynamics we know and love, the stakes we're there for, and of course, Morty going off the rails😂. However, I miss Jerry. Personally, I love episodes that deepen the dynamic between Summer and Beth. So this episode is a keeper for me. It reminds me of the first few episodes of Rick and Morty that got me hooked instantly. I honestly can't believe I thought Rick and Morty had gone downhill. They clearly just needed some time to adjust to the whole Justin Roiland thing, and now they're back and stull😍 strong. Pretty solid episode. Solid comedy. Can't wait for more.

Every start of a new Rick & Morty season you wonder, you hope, you wish for it to start good, this time they sure did it.

This episode has one of the best writings of any episodes of the series. It has all the right Rick & Morty beats - it starts with not knowing what the hell is going on.

It continues with realizing it a total messed up episode that Rick caused.

It keeps you wondering where its going.

A lot of heart and hard stuff that I'll keep on thinking for a while.

A Definite multiple review episode.

Damn man, you guys sure can write a script, I barely even notice the departure of Justin Roiland. You can still hear the difference of Rick (Morty is almost spot on) but when the story is that good I really don't mind.

Hopefully the season will have at least 3-4 episodes like this.

After all those years, the writers finally coming back to good old Rick and Morty Style, just the way Fascist Morty would like lol.

The episode starts a bit confusing but I was familiar with concepts like this so figured out whats going on immediately. Throughout the whole show, had some crazy ideas like putting someone in a fake life for their entire life but they never went this deep to the concept and they finally did it spectacularly well.

The episode got the dark tone to it, it gets quite serious but somehow manages to be funny at the same time which is what I love about Rick and Morty.

Quite twisty and well written episode hope the quality holds itself for the entire season.

An intelligent episode as a premiere deserves, very well constructed and with beautiful lessons, as it should be

the pace of this first episode was ideal for a story of present and past, difficult and complex even for such a complete animation, the construction of those involved was good, their environments were used well

to be perfect, the episode should have Jerry involved in some context, especially with Summer, showing an improvement or worsening in his role as a father, this creates expectations in the next episodes, but a premiere could have the presence of the entire family

hope this spirit continues in the next episodes.

The 7th season left us with the most cliffhanger of finales: a well structured and written one after so many let downs. The first season started with the same meticulously crafted narrative with some used up plotlines but explored in a unique fashion. I love the philosophical and political parallels dressed up within a cartoon and joyish fun. If you ask me that is completely the point of Rick and Morty to begin with. To this trajectory I very much approve. The journey you used to embark when you watched this show used to be unpredictable. I feel like we return to this organised chaos that produces the essence of the show. Please continue like that.
