Ep 10 is nothing short of a masterpiece, taking everything that made the previous episodes great and turning it up to eleven.
‘Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind’ is a mind-bending, mythos-building epic that introduces the Council of Ricks and a universe of infinite possibilities. The plot is filled with brilliant sci-fi concepts, hilarious gags, and a shocking, game-changing twist ending.
The voice work is an absolute tour de force by Justin Roiland, who breathes life into an entire army of Ricks and Mortys. The emotional core is surprisingly strong, as Morty finally stands up to Rick and proves he is more than just a tool. The final reveal of Evil Morty is one of the most brilliant villain introductions in television history.
This episode isn’t just a great penultimate episode; it’s a statement that this show is capable of anything, and it sets the stage for a much larger and darker story.
An absolute classic. 9.5/10.
