Another R&M episode, another headache. There was a part of me that for some reason had the hope that this second half of the season would be better than the crapshow that was episodes 1-6, but no, Rick and Morty is back and as horribly obnoxious as ever. This one was just so unfocused and annoying, I couldn't stand the meta bullcrap and the fact that the characters can't either isn't endearing, it's just infuriating. Bringing back Story Lord was a bafflingly stupid attempt at critiquing continuity while also just not being very funny. Seeing the fake story Jesus again did sort of make me chuckle, but after a while, the joke just becomes "Wow, I can't believe Jesus really did THAT!". I did enjoy the Previously On gag though, even if it did become a bit overplayed as the episode went on. Introducing those stupid literary terms team guys was so horrible, completely killed the pace for a couple of dumb gags. Overall, this was probably a sign that Rick and Morty will continue down this slippery slop of subpar writing, and that any signs of quality will simply be coincidental.
