![]() You can boil away all the excess and eccentricity and still find a story of friendship at its core. That could be said of every episode, I guess, but increasingly in Season 5, this kind of thing has been there instead of character stuff, whereas “Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort” has a consistent thematic backbone. It’s difficult to keep track of, despite Rick’s determined attempts at exposition, but I think that’s mostly the point the randomness and weirdness that stems from this kind of adventure is part of the fun here. Given all the show’s meddling in alternate realities and such, there are probably an infinite number of Bird People, but Rick is pretty adamant about saving just the one from an escalating sci-fi calamity that leads through several of Birdperson’s memories. Rick’s best and perhaps only friend is Birdperson. ![]() This episode digs a little bit into why, as well as showing some softness and loyalty under his spiky exterior, not changing Rick but helping to explain why he is the way he is. Nobody changes all that much in this show, but Rick doesn’t change at all he’s the same character now, more or less, that he was four seasons ago. Even if he wasn’t, he’s certainly the most important, since basically every episode is kicked off by his God-like meddling in space and time and reality, and at this point – sometimes to the show’s detriment – everyone has inherited his snarky attitude and cavalier approach to human life. Rick has always been the best half of Rick and Morty.
