Rick and Morty – Season 7 Episodes Ranked

New season, new voice actors – a lot of people were ready to scrutinise Season 7 of Rick and Morty after all of the controversies, but in the end I think this was a season to be proud of. But it wasn’t without its faults … how would I rank every episode?

Before we begin, you can check out some of my related blog posts below:

10 – Rise of the Numbericons

“Rise of the Numbericons” is a sequel nobody asked for.

The letters-numbers war is boring, Morty and his Math teacher Mr. Goldenfold are an unfunny combo, and the jokes don’t land. The pacing of the episode is also way too fast!

9 – How Poopy Got His Poop Back

I paid close attention to the voice acting in the season opener, and I found the new voices to be indistinguishable from the old ones. The praise for “How Poopy Got His Poop Back” runs out there.

The friend group dynamic is sweet, I suppose, but the bizarre plot and Hugh Jackman cameo didn’t work for me.

8 – That’s Amorte

Like with “Analyze Piss” from Season 6, “That’s Amorte” is a fan-favourite episode from the latest season that I just couldn’t get behind.

The suicide = spaghetti was way too odd and tasteless (ironically) for me, and the life montage at the end felt like a cheap tug at the heartstrings at the eleventh hour.

7 – The Jerrick Trap

An argument leads to Jerry and Rick trying to swap brains, but an accident melds their brains together instead. Already an intriguing premise ripe for comedy.

I liked the character dynamic between the new Rick and Jerry, but their final form “Jerricky” was too weird for me.

6 – Air Force Wong

Reviews seemed to be mixed on “Air Force Wong”, but I liked what it was going for.

Unity taking over Virginia was a great return for a classic character, and the president’s attempts to woo therapist Wong were funny.

5 – Wet Kuat Amortican Summer

At first I thought “Wet Kuat Amortican Summer” was going to be about videogame stat boosting. I should know by now that plot isn’t weird enough for a Rick and Morty episode.

A pool accident sees Morty and Summer fuse together, leading to a Kuato conspiracy and a society of psychic mutants.

4 – Rickfending Your Mort

“Rickfending Your Mort” is a glorified clip show episode akin to “Morty’s Mind Blowers”, but I thought it worked really well.

The observers were a great, natural way to show the funny scenarios, and the observer trial was a fun second-half subversion.

3 – Mort: Ragnarick

The stupidest episode of the season. I loved it.

“Mort: Ragnarick” has valhalla, the pope and bigfoot. What more could you want?

2 – Fear No Mort

A lot of recent Rick and Morty finales have tried going too big or shoe-horning major plot developments, but “Fear No Mort” focused on telling a concise, compelling character study.

The fear hole is a concept ripe for drama and humour, Diane’s “return” genuinely shocked me, and the twist ending was a highlight of the season.

1 – Unmortricken

“Unmortricken”, a harmless mid-season episode, had no right to be this good.

Evil Morty returns, Rick manages to track down and kill Rick Prime, and the action is immense. A non-finale episode better than most finales!

On the whole, Season 7 was pretty good. Nowhere near as bad as the worst seasons and episodes, but not quite up there with the best either. Still, I had a fun time!

Aaaaaand that’s my list! You can check out some of my latest blog posts below:

Top 10 Albums of the 1960’s

I’ve recently been going through every year in music for my thorough retrospectives, and as such I’ve been exposed to some fantastic albums. I wanted to talk about some of my favourites – for this first edition, I’ll be looking at the 1960’s. I reviewed fifty albums as part of that decade’s retrospectives (five per…

2020: The Year In Music

2020 – The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world into lockdown. Joe Biden is elected US President. Boris Johnson secures a Brexit deal for the UK. George Floyd’s death at the hands of a US police officer sparks the “Black Lives Matter” protests. The Beirut port explosion kills 200 and injures thousands. And, in (hopefully) some…

Best Ace Attorney One-Hit Wonder Characters

I’ve ranked the main characters, I’ve ranked the defendants, I’ve ranked the culprits … but, as I realised during my recent Ace Attorney Deep Dives, that doesn’t highlight all of the wonderful characters this series has to offer. There are some side characters who appeared in one case and one case only, and yet made…
