Summer’s talk with Tiny Rick about his feelings, eventually getting him to listen to Elliott Smith, which had me dying that was a really clever inclusion there. The more time Rick spends in this younger body, the more his id, or inner child, takes over control of his brain.
The two of them become popular by association with Tiny Rick and are blinded by the fact that Rick isn’t actually happy in this body and will die if he doesn’t switch back soon. I was actually somewhat disappointed when it turned out the plot wasn’t focused on hunting this vampire, which would have been just as amazing to watch.Īs the episode progresses, Tiny Rick becomes increasingly popular among the high school kids, and he continues to find reasons to stay a teenager because it is helping Summer and Morty socially. It was bold and fitting for Harmon and Roiland to blatantly have Summer suggest Rick put his mind into a younger physical version of himself to help exterminate a vampire in their high school. The main plot is pretty funny and was actually well-established with no real introduction and transition to the episode’s problem.
Rick and Morty pulls off some really great ideas in such a short time span and proves how brilliant Dan Harmon’s mind is. In this week’s great episode, “Big Trouble in Little Sanchez,” Rick and Morty gets deeps on extremely odd levels (similar to most installments of this show). As the sophomore season of Rick and Morty continues to inch closer towards its finale, the show is on top of its game.
