Well, Canon was definitely delivered. Damn.

They did….. what…. They did the episode that ….. I am at a lost for words …. That was like unexpectedly watching end game ….. wtf

Amazing ending to a lukewarm season, but it so radically ripped apart the fabric of Rick and Morty themselves that I can't help but fear future episodes are just going to jump over it, going back to being episodical and care about what happened here only when they make another Canon delivery. [spoiler]Also make Mr. Poopybutthole happy, seeing him like that was an extra knife to the heart.[/spoiler]

It’s been staring us to the face for years... we’ve seen so many creatively imagined alternate Ricks and Mortys that we’ve been distracted from the fact that the dynamic of their relationship is always the same which goes against the principle of infinite universes / possibilities. This episode gave a whole new meaning to the concept of infinity because what you think is infinite could just be a small part of something even bigger, and so on...

After the weakest, most underwhelming season that feels at times veered towards _Family Guy_ than itself, _Rick and Morty_ sticks the landing nicely. Surprisingly, by leaning into serialization more than it has ever done before (even if couched in self-deprecating gags about doing so).
