It makes for a brilliant reveal later when we find out Rick is a pro at the game and is able to take Roy off the grid.

The best of these is easily when Morty tries out the VR arcade game, “Roy: A Life Well Lived,” a video game in which you live through the full life of an average man who-in Morty’s playthrough-gives up his professional football dreams, survives cancer, and works at a carpet store. This is all mostly in service to the core storylines, but the episode isn’t afraid to indulge in some small tangents (a signature Rick and Morty maneuver). The episode is then divided into an A-plot for Rick and Morty and a B-plot for Jerry, but where “A Rickle in Time” was primarily confined to two locations, “Mortynight Run” jets off all over the galaxy, producing hilarious, memorable sequences throughout. This time, Rick just wants to sell some weapons to an assassin to make some extra cash for him and Morty to spend a day at the intergalactic entertainment center, Blips and Chitz.Įventually, it’s Morty, who still has some drive to find purpose in a purposeless universe, who takes control of the plot (hence the episode title, which happens to be the first in which Morty’s name, rather than Rick’s, is used to make a bad pun). In season one, Rick usually had some science project that he’d decided was super-important at the time (Anatomy Park, experiments with mega seeds), Morty had something he really wanted (usually Jessica), or an antagonist showed up for our protagonists to overcome (the Zigerions, Evil Morty). It’s also very early in the season for an episode where neither Rick nor Morty initially have a strong motivation. Season one already showed great chutzpah by shaking up its formula only a few episodes in, but this may be the first time (and correct me if I’m wrong if it’s not) where we start out already in space with Rick, Morty, and Jerry off to do something or other. The creators have stated they now feel less obligated to ground everything with an earthbound sitcom plot. This episode also highlights the difference in approach for season two. It’s one of those episodes that pretty well exemplifies the appeal of Rick and Morty: comedy sci-fi hijinks, over-the-top set pieces, and an undercurrent of darkness running through it all. Following a season premiere bogged down by its overcomplicated premise, “Mortynight Run” is positively joyous by comparison, filling its every moment with new alien and monster designs and subsequently murdering them off with careless abandon.
