Rickmancing the Stone

The wit, the deadpan humor, the pacing, the creativity: all discarded in this installment for boorish detail and pointless narratives -- both devoid of the kind of irony and honesty that we have an apparent luxury to expect from Rick and Morty. Considering how it almost played out like a completely different show, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the person who wrote "Rickmancing the Stone" has never viewed a single episode of the previous two seasons, but has been described in shallow depth the characters and humor featured and so beloved on this program. While invested fans may arrive at disappointment, however, they needn't keep their prospects so narrow for the forthcoming episodes of this usually kinetic series; after all, this actually may not be the worst script produced of the entire show, as it is just so bewilderingly incompatible from everything that preceded in its path.
