Rick and Morty: Forgetting Sarick Mortshall (2021)
Season 5, Episode 9
6/10
Rushed and unearned
6 September 2021
I have yet to watch the second part yet but this was not great. There were some funny bits here and there but they kind of fly over your head with the ridiculous pacing. I swear this episode alone could have been a two parter. A plot with Morty was ok but kind of underwhelming and predictable. The B plot with rick and the crows was better, more funny moments, but still felt rushed and unfocused and ricks character arcing being so sudden and unrealistic is so confusing I can't tell if this is a bit. By the end we are left with what feels like a very unearned and unrealistic emotional followed with one of those "drunk rick rants" that by this point feels like the show is just parodying itself. Still, better than every other episode this season besides the first one.

Edit: After watching the "second part" I still feel the same way about this episode if not even more negative. This just feels like filler before a really good episode that didn't need to be here. This episode really has nothing to do with the final episode, so I'm left here wondering why it was even called a 2 parter in the first place.
