In this episode of Rick and Morty, the Smith family goes to group therapy but along the way Rick turns himself into a pickle, for some reason, to get away from that. Even though Rick could just hide somewhere and not overcomplicate things like other mad scientists. Beth then finds out about it and just takes the serum to undo Rick being a pickle and not him along the way, just kind of feels like if she took him even as a pickle some of the problems would have been solved.
Then as the plot goes forward there’s this story where Rick goes through this struggle with being a pickle and there’s all this intense violence that’s pretty graphic. Also, another story where the therapist makes you think about what Rick does but it also kind of has this tone whiplash at times. Since Rick was designed to not be related with and the rest of the Smith’s also come out as unlikable and without any likable charterers to root for the show ends up feeling just like a choir. Also, a lot of people in real life liked Rick and said they could relate to Rick when they watched the show which makes me wonder and question volumes on how people and society are today.
At the end of this episode Rick shows up to the family therapy and the therapist ends up scolding Rick like a child and drones on a bit about that. Though the irony is if Rick ever actually cares and stops being a jerk, the show would be over, plain and simple. The thing is these therapists don’t just give you the answer to your problems and just help you try and find the answer yourself. It also kind of feels like she was trying to gaslight Rick instead of educating him on what she said.
It just feels like after seasons 1 and 2 they did this diversity and inclusion thing with seasons 3 and 4. I have no problems with that but it should be about charterer and merit, not being “this or that, or that or this”. They should still have experience and not play the victim once they’re criticized the whole “You don’t know what it’s like to be this or that!” though sooner or later we’ll all go “Do you?”. Along the way, I found out a bit that the original writers were taken off the show after seasons 1 and 2 for the newer writers. Just a bit sad since they had the experience but after this show became mainstream it felt like it sold out.
Here’s also Mr. Enter’s review of this episode I had inspiration for among others. It just feels like for myself and others had started to see and knew a lack of focus now and then. It’s just really starting show now for than ever for entertainment is all.
