#OLD LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER RICK AND MORTY FULL#

The violence in Rick and Morty always works best when it’s out of the blue, such as Uncle Steve being shot in the head, but it went overboard in this episode. I appreciate this is the joke but it didn’t have the effect I was hoping for. By the time Rick got to the rich snobs I had grown bored of the rampant killing. What really works well in this pool of blood is Morty’s character development who seems to have been like a coiled spring since the opening couple of episodes.

His character has always been the meek wallflower to Rick’s outgoing cool guy so it was wonderfully dark to see Morty go off the deep end and what a deep end it was.

Having, some would say justifiably, killed the old lighthouse keeper Morty goes on full blown murderous rampage which results in him totally losing it. Having no control over his actions it’s eventually Rick who has to step in and save him from himself. It’s another example of Rick caring for Morty which has been a theme of the season overall. It was also pleasing to see Rick be a good mentor to Morty in ailing his fears about the murders by saying the chocolate bar was the cause. The episode is bleak and paints a picture that all of us are capable of terrible things if pushed too far but it also offers a small amount of light at the end. It’s a hard episode to review as I did enjoy it but I didn’t love it either. Another solid outing which offers a good concept, pop culture humour and a decent plot line.

It’s pleasing to see just Rick and Morty having an adventure and the episode offered enough comedy for me but I left it feeling a little cold. Excluding the season opener this was probably the weakest episode for me.įiling out the episode was a row between Summer and Jerry which linked, sort of, into the main plot. To call these section a B story would be giving it too much credit but it was a nicely written and played out bit.
