Rick and Morty

• Title: Rick and Morty – Rickmurai Jack
• wiki: link

After an extended anime-style opening sequence that follows up on Rick‘s (Justin Roiland) adventures with two crows, Rick and Morty kicks off the season finale by returning to the Citadel of Ricks to cure Morty (Roiland) of his grandson’s attempts to emotionally blackmail him and finally shed some light on the ultimate goals of Evil Morty (Roiland). The opening is crazy, but dealt with fairly quickly to move onto to an adventure which will touch on several past moments of the series and, perhaps, leave Morty and Rick with a better understanding of each other.

With the rest of the family off on their own vacation, Rick‘s (Justin Roiland) attention turns back to one of the series’ lingering plot threads as he attempts to save the life of his former best-friend Birdperson (Dan Harmon). After removing the cybernetics, Rick enters Birdperson’s mind and attempts to convince his suicidal friend that there is something worth living for. In order to save Birdperson, Rick is forced into asking for help from a younger version of himself as remembered by his friend (who turns out to be far less cynical than the current version of Rick).

• Title: Rick and Morty – Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion

Voltron fans should enjoy “Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion” which features Rick‘s (Justin Roiland) obsession with collecting Gotron Ferrets which can be combined to form larger and larger Voltron-like robots. Not content with a single robot piloted by each member of his family, Rick reaches out to alternate versions of himself bringing them into to fold to create robots made of other robots as things quickly spiral out of control. If the Fifth Season of Rick and Morty has a theme, that seems to be it: take a simple concept and run with it at breakneck speed, not always stopping to make sure it’s telling a coherent tale, until either the episode ends or you run out of gas. “Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion” manages to keep the crazy going fairly well, but with less and less giant Voltron over the course of an episode about giant Voltrons, it does peter out towards the end.

• Title: Rick and Morty – A Rickconvenient Mort
• wiki: link

Remember that time Morty (Justin Roiland) fell in love with Captain Planet? That’s the basic idea of “A Rickconvenient Mort” when Morty falls for environmental super-hero Planetina (Alison Brie) who is brought forth by the not-so-teenage Tina-Teers using the four elemental rings to fight for the environment. Like all episodes dealing with Morty’s love life, things end poorly. The episode’s B-story features Rick (Roiland) replacing the absent Morty with Summer (Spencer Grammer) on a planet-hopping tour of three worlds all on the edge of annihilation.
