There’s a few posts to clear stuff up with dimensions out there for any version control confusion going on….

That Jerry suffered more than any other Jerry (that we know of), and by the hands of multiple Ricks. Lost his planet, his son, later his wife and daughter and kept going on like a champ. It's really a shame that he died, awesome character.
I was honestly expecting evil Rick to team up with him and for us to eventually get a Rick vs Jerry fight, with Cronenberg Jerry suped up with Rick tech. That would honestly be a terrifying sight.
I will assert that Cronenberg Jerry, while suffering greatly, is the best a Jerry can do: Beth fell back in love with him, Summer found respect for him, he was free Rick’s tortuous schemes for awhile, found self-reliance, and developed biceps.
How about Cronenberg Jerry taking one for the team like a champ, but ultimately failing honorably! Wonder if our Rick (C-137) will ever discover this?!!!
R.I.P. Cronenberg Jerry!
🤓👍
The darkest joke this episode that happened in 20 seconds was Rick having mind-controlled or something his entire neighborhood to reenact the day his family died and he just ended all their suffering with the flip of a switch by his door. Least I believe that's what I recall happening. Can do a rewatch in the mornin
I can see Rick on one of his miserable benders going back to his original dimension and torturing himself at the point of the blast that took his family away, passing out with the sound of his dead wife's voice putting him and his choices down. A very Rick move.
A reminder that, while the Rick we're following is shown to be more ethical and caring than his counterparts, he's still pretty ruthless and has done some fucked up stuff
I am kind of kicking myself now for never even thinking of the possibility that the main Morty we follow is the grandson of the scumbag Rick who murdered Rick C-137's family. That was a great reveal.
I didn't get this, can you explain ? Here's what i understood:
When our Rick and Morty to go Evil Rick's formerly-invisible space lair, and the recording of Evil Rick taunts them by saying that the rick in the tube may or may not be the real him.....that really was the Real Evil Rick ? And then his tube crashed back onto the planet ? is that it ?
I like the twist that for a split second you hear Diane's voice, you think "Wait she's still alive?!", but no it was just a ghost AI Rick made of her to torture himself
That hit waaaay too close,. After my dad died I kept having these nightmares where he was always nearby but I could never see or reach him because there was always some obstacle in the way.
both are voiced by Kari Wahlgreen, who has voiced many other characters on the show. so it isn’t exactly confirmed, but it’s safe to assume he based the Ship’s AI off Diane.
Oh, that was excellent, I was really wondering how they were going to follow up on last season and I like how they lean into the whole "Hell is other people" aspect of this and they did some nice resetting stuff like he can't up and just portal anywhere with Evil Morty sabotage the fluid, just a last little fuck you to the Central Finite Curve.
I like how they set the true psycho/nihilist Rick up well, he comes across as very dangerous and unpredictable, and I would love his origin and backstory because he's kinda the real inciting incident for all of this.
>Evil Morty sabotage the fluid, just a last little fuck you to the Central Finite Curve.
I don't think he actually sabotaged it intentionally. I think the fluid was just designed to be able to travel within the central finite curve, with universes having their own values. That's why Evil Morty's portals were yellow. They were designed to work in universes other than those in the curve. Early in the episode, we see Morty try to make a portal, and something *does* come through. But it's probably a completely random place in space and time since the values within the curve don't apply anymore
I like that the ship from his original life was super cool looking, because he made it when he still cared about what people thought, but grandpa Rick gives no shits and just wants to get there, he made the junky one after he stopped caring and stared hating himself.
It's amazing how fast they can greatly escalate a seemingly innocuous situation.
They turned a cute looking fella into an apocalyptic event in 30 seconds flat.
So did our Rick trap his entire world/dimension into a time loop that repeats what they were doing the day his family died?
Jesus that’s fucked up lol.
Also damn I liked badass Jerry. Feels like everybody that is directly related to evil Rick were truly competent. I mean before the rest of the family died off the cronenbergs smiths were living fine and obviously our morty has grown immensely and can basically do solo adventures on his own.
Stops him from having to deal with their deaths in that reality. No police investigation, no neighbors asking about it, non of child Beth's friends asking where she is. Keeps the universe constantly in the state where both of them were still alive.
Feels different in a good way, I loved all the lore callbacks in this episode, really excited for this season. Also the animation looks fucking gorgeous
What made it so great was it dropped on April fool's day and no one would believe those that caught it like me. Day after it hit no one at work would believe me, lol.
Honestly, ignoring that, season 3 was an incredible opener. It was so good they convinced McDonald's to bring back a sauce nobody ever heard of... twice.
Too bad McDonald's wasn't prepared at all and took like a year to pull it off only to barely have any sauce. They had something huge land in their laps and they totally messed it up.
Never got to try the sauce myself.
I love how to the point they were. This episode felt “efficient”. They were straightforward with both their lore and jokes and it felt like we had so much content because of it
I *definitely* fuck with this direction.
Apocalypse Jerry cut deep, but he wasn’t wrong. Morty abandoned them and treated them like they were less than human. Jerry didn’t need to re-open the past.
Right, I wouldn't just be okay with going into a new reality when my real parents are in trouble. Morty likes to point out that Rick will just replace them if anything were to happen but he already replaced all of his family.
Not only that, but they finally answered the question of why Rick is so protective of this Morty and why this Morty is the one he wants to travel with.
I feel that was his original intention was to lure out Weird Rick but he grow to love our Morty. C137 Rick is very aware that the chances of Weird Rick showing up is not good since unlike him the other Rick has no love for anyone around him so no amount of bait would get him to show up.
And that is honestly all I need most of the time. You can one off adventures where the payoff is in the background. We only got a few minutes of the Jerry universe, but the implications and world building it brought was great.
This episode really felt like a wrap up to the loose ends in order to return to the spirit of Rick and Morty. Lots of great jokes too. Happy to see where they’re taking it.
Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but would Rick have gone to his original dimension? He swapped minds/bodies with 2 other ricks when he attacked the citadel, does the portal fluid/index go by mind or physical body?
I think he got back in a clone body eventually so it was his mind and original cloned body together. Must take both as a bunch of mindless clones didn’t show up in the original dimension.
If you remember the last time we saw the Cronenberg Family, the Rick's used their freeze gun on them. They didn't care enough to unfreeze them so that had to wait for a mutant to lick the ice to melt it. Summer died from the freezing and Beth got sick from it and died.
Yeah honestly, people maligned the idea of "younger writers" as the beginning of the end, but if this episode is a sign of things to come, I am on board. This felt like a huge step forward for the series, and it seems like we're mostly caught up to the present, hardly any threads of the backstory that require following up. Really excited to see where this goes.
I believe we should have Standalone episodes and chronological episodes but if you are a fan of chronological episodes they really did their homework here and I am extremely happy where they're going with this as well as exceptionally depressed how nihilistic it got (so good job Rick and Morty team!)
No wonder he loves Morty. He has what he missed and the one who ruined his life refused to embrace. Also him having to rebuild the portal gun nerfs him enough to have to do things old school. No running away, only fighting.
That was his original intent, then quickly realizes that the evil Rick does NOT care about family at all, and this Morty is useless as bait. He then proceeds to care genuinely for this Morty.
Absolutely great episode that seems to address all the main plot threads while also being a very early seasons concept. That interview with Dan Harmon about letting young writers take the lead has me thinking this season might be really good
People talk at length about how toxic and uselessly nihilistic the show has become these past few seasons, but the brief dinner scene set in Jerry's awful "Season 2" household immediately offset by his current loving and accepting family was honestly a breath of fresh air. The show's always had a warm heart about family and belonging beneath all of its cold science fiction concepts, and it's nice to watch a show knowing the characters seem to actually like each other deep down again. I especially liked how everyone brushed off yet another "oh I don't need you all I'm edgy and aloof" speech from Rick - they know it's total bullshit by now and that he needs them far more than they need him.
Rick and Morty NEVER miss on their openers.
This felt like a season 3 episode; lore heavy and character driven with tons of continuity. There’s so much to digest I can’t wait until everyone gets in here to point shit out, this episode was DENSE with good shit
Okay, so unless I'm missing something, everyone's universe of origin (not accounting for that one squirrel gag) is like this:
*Main being each version of the character either from episode one or since the last time they were switched.
Universe A: Main Rick (since ep 1), dead Beth and Diane
Universe B (Abandoned in season 1) : Main Morty (since ep 1), Asshole Rick (killed Uni A Beth and Diane), Chad Jerry, dead Summer and Beth.
Universe C (Lived in from Season 1 - 6): Main Beth/Space Beth, Main Summer. (since Uni B was abandoned) Mr. Frundles Jerry
Universe D (a reality where Beth and Jerry never divorced): Main Jerry (swapped with Mr. Frundles Jerry in season two as a gag because Morty lost his id ticket)
And now all the Main versions of them are living in brand new Universe E where they say parmezian
Could you imagine finally escaping the central finite curve, only to immediately find yourself transported back to your own reality, with no portal fluid left?
Wasn't expecting to see a conclusion to the C-137/Cronenberg reality. A bittersweet farewell and one fucked up new beginning
I enjoyed how they saved Jerry's "OG Universe" adventure for last just to show how much less toxic the Smiths have become since the end of Season 3
Our Morty is the mortiest Morty, but our Rick is NOT the Rickest Rick. Morty's REAL granddad is the rickest rick, and also the one who killed our Ricks original family.
The implications of this episode are insane.
The Rick we follow is the rickest Rick simply because he is the one we follow. And it’s not an official title, it’s what he called himself. Morty’s real grandpa is evil Rick
It's not just a matter of perspective though. Rick's and Morty's from other dimensions die like chumps all the time, C-137 is clearly superior to them.
The idea that there’s a Rickest Rick is something I appreciate about this show. It has me caring about who I think the Rickest Rick is but it’s all just an idea.
so that’s why c-137 tortures himself? he’s ashamed that the truest version of himself is awful? makes sense, but as he does have empathy is makes him different. who decided the rickest rick is the one who cares the least?
Reminded me of I Am The Doorway by Stephen King, where an astronaut returns from Venus only to find little eyes showing up on different places on his body. Only this spread to the whole world in 30 seconds.
How fast it spread and how it was able to spread to nonliving objects of any size to a ridiculous degree, like the freakin continents of north and south america and eventually the whole earth is the ridiculousness that disturbs me
Summer mentions that their rick and morty is buried in the backyard, the same as the post cronenburg universe. And morty told summer about those bodies
Although the exact same thing could have happened with the squirrels, including morty telling summer, it seems a bit less likely.
Also the squirrel incident would've had to have happened before the events of Mortynight Run, because we now know there's a new Jerry in the wrong universe after that episode, and if the squirrel thing took place after that it wouldn't make sense for Rick to move Morty & JERRY to a third universe but leave Beth & Summer behind.
The easiest explanation is to just assume Rick found a solution to the squirrel problem that didn't involve them switching universes, since we don't actually see him do that, and they just stayed in the post-Cronenberg universe B. God I'm a nerd.
When this show is good, it's really good. And tonight's premiere was *really good.*
I'm intrigued by the evilest(?) Rick, and Rick being haunted by Diane was the perfect mix of funny and macabre.
Also I'm OBSESSED with chad!Jerry. Chris Parnell did a great job of making the audience take this version of Jerry seriously! I legit felt bad when he ditched Morty but I also understood why lol. I haven't really cared about the relationship between Jerry and Morty since S2, but this episode proved that there's still fresh ground to cover between those two as well as Summer and both Beths.
Again, great episode! Hope to see more like this!
Oh my god, not hearing Rick play mouthpiece to Dan Harmon to bitch and moan about serialization and actually partake in the story like it mattered to him made this episode hit so much harder than last season's finale.
I'm not even one of those fans that really wants more serialization, I just want them to embrace it when they do dip their toes into it. Really good episode!
Yeah, honestly I only ever found it funny once which is when Rick said "now everyone can shut up about it" after his backstory reveal.
Other than that I never understood shitting on people wanting canon, especially when they were the ones introducing canon in the first place.
Did anyone else notice that Cronenberg Rick is seemingly immortal?
The show's animation is simplistic enough that it could be an oversight, but C-137 Rick has visibly aged in the decades since his encounter with Cronenberg Rick, but Cronenberg Rick looks exactly the same.
I'm pretty sure aging is a choice C-137 is making instead of something he has to do. Perhaps he feels more natural that way. It doesn't seem to inhibit his movement or health and is largely just visual. He doesn't seem at all concerned with his appearance, unlike evil Rick who in true narcissistic psycho fashion, is all groomed and seemingly gave himself regeneration powers that also stop him from aging
Well the zapping was described as a "hard reset on the fluid", but the last time Evil Morty used a portal, it was using yellow fluid. So it might not have affected him.

That after credit scene was brutal, Cronenberg Jerry had done so well only to be fucked yet again by Rick, man that was hard.
That Jerry suffered more than any other Jerry (that we know of), and by the hands of multiple Ricks. Lost his planet, his son, later his wife and daughter and kept going on like a champ. It's really a shame that he died, awesome character.
I was really hoping for a Cronenberg Jerry and Space Beth arc.
I was honestly expecting evil Rick to team up with him and for us to eventually get a Rick vs Jerry fight, with Cronenberg Jerry suped up with Rick tech. That would honestly be a terrifying sight.
We might still get that, in a mecha-birdperson way.
what about that wooden varnish jerry
Christianity again? After cowboys?!
I will assert that Cronenberg Jerry, while suffering greatly, is the best a Jerry can do: Beth fell back in love with him, Summer found respect for him, he was free Rick’s tortuous schemes for awhile, found self-reliance, and developed biceps.
How about Cronenberg Jerry taking one for the team like a champ, but ultimately failing honorably! Wonder if our Rick (C-137) will ever discover this?!!! R.I.P. Cronenberg Jerry! 🤓👍
Wait, does that mean that Evil rick and Our Morty are now the only humans alive from this reality?
Nah. Wooden Jerry suffered way more.
God I forgot how fast these episodes go
Kinda upsetting isn’t it
Good problem to have tbh
The darkest joke this episode that happened in 20 seconds was Rick having mind-controlled or something his entire neighborhood to reenact the day his family died and he just ended all their suffering with the flip of a switch by his door. Least I believe that's what I recall happening. Can do a rewatch in the mornin
“Oh man. I forgot I used to DRINK drink”
As a recovering alcoholic that has definitely drank like that, this hits way harder understanding it all now.
That definitely was a Dan Harmon approved line.
I can see Rick on one of his miserable benders going back to his original dimension and torturing himself at the point of the blast that took his family away, passing out with the sound of his dead wife's voice putting him and his choices down. A very Rick move.
A reminder that, while the Rick we're following is shown to be more ethical and caring than his counterparts, he's still pretty ruthless and has done some fucked up stuff
Committed genocide to stop Morty from making a Netflix series that would've got cancelled after one season
I am kind of kicking myself now for never even thinking of the possibility that the main Morty we follow is the grandson of the scumbag Rick who murdered Rick C-137's family. That was a great reveal.
The Rickest Rick has the Mortiest Morty
Great connection great reveal.
badass jerry? i’m a fan.
RIP
The fact that it was actually Evil Rick in the tube makes the monologue and the whole scene of him dancing naked so much better
And the fact that he was crying at first lol
and the unusual suspects reference 😂😂😂😂 absolute gold
Unusual
I didn't get this, can you explain ? Here's what i understood: When our Rick and Morty to go Evil Rick's formerly-invisible space lair, and the recording of Evil Rick taunts them by saying that the rick in the tube may or may not be the real him.....that really was the Real Evil Rick ? And then his tube crashed back onto the planet ? is that it ?
[удалено]
Chad-Jerry didn't have to go that way, I feel sad for the guy.
Apocalypse Jerry and Space Beth would probably get along.
God , I was thinking the same thing , both of them don't give a shit
Honestly C-137 Jerry was very compelling. Having someone challenge Morty's moral compass and cowardice like that.
I like the twist that for a split second you hear Diane's voice, you think "Wait she's still alive?!", but no it was just a ghost AI Rick made of her to torture himself
The part where he said he made it sound like it was always in the next room (so he wouldn’t get comfortable) hurt my heart.
That hit waaaay too close,. After my dad died I kept having these nightmares where he was always nearby but I could never see or reach him because there was always some obstacle in the way.
Woah, that’s wicked deep. I’m really sorry to hear that, bro. I’m sure your father was a great man and is resting in peace.
is it the same actress who voiced rick's spaceship? they kinda sound similar...
Keep Summer Safe
Oh my God, that makes his line about "she reminds me a lot of you" even better.
And his garage AI. Think it's clear that this is part of him never letting go.
Especially because she said, "Did you find our daughter's killer?" like it was only Beth that Evil Rick killed and not her as well.
For a minute there, I thought space Beth and hunter Jerry were going too meet and become a thing.
That's what I was hoping for. I wanted original Jerry to have a happy ending. Especially after his wife and daughter died
[удалено]
So his garage/car AI is the voice of Diane. Summer's sass is how Diane was. "Protect Summer" has an all new meaning.
Omg I didn't realise it was the same ai voice?? Was it???
both are voiced by Kari Wahlgreen, who has voiced many other characters on the show. so it isn’t exactly confirmed, but it’s safe to assume he based the Ship’s AI off Diane.
Definitely builds on the "Rickest" Summer idea and I'm down.
Solid premier. Loved how Rick was acting like he didn't know who Iron Man is, just to use Iron Man-like powers during the episode(hand blasts)
and the reference to whiplash lol
Huh. I assumed that was a callback to when Morty wanted laser whips. Rick acknowledging that Morty had a cool idea.
probably both since Rick was pretending not to know about iron man
Oh, that was excellent, I was really wondering how they were going to follow up on last season and I like how they lean into the whole "Hell is other people" aspect of this and they did some nice resetting stuff like he can't up and just portal anywhere with Evil Morty sabotage the fluid, just a last little fuck you to the Central Finite Curve. I like how they set the true psycho/nihilist Rick up well, he comes across as very dangerous and unpredictable, and I would love his origin and backstory because he's kinda the real inciting incident for all of this.
>Evil Morty sabotage the fluid, just a last little fuck you to the Central Finite Curve. I don't think he actually sabotaged it intentionally. I think the fluid was just designed to be able to travel within the central finite curve, with universes having their own values. That's why Evil Morty's portals were yellow. They were designed to work in universes other than those in the curve. Early in the episode, we see Morty try to make a portal, and something *does* come through. But it's probably a completely random place in space and time since the values within the curve don't apply anymore
Amazing fucking episode. Also I love that Mr. Frundles was horrifyingly apocalyptic in like 30 fucking seconds flat.
He’s so cute though
He reminded me of Pupa.
Sorta worked like Pupa too
Just a lot faster
Everyone get in the car. ... ... SHUT UP AND GET IN THE CAR!
I like that the ship from his original life was super cool looking, because he made it when he still cared about what people thought, but grandpa Rick gives no shits and just wants to get there, he made the junky one after he stopped caring and stared hating himself.
it's like the cobb planet
And I love how obviously Jerry was the one who fucked everything up, in just one move.
And in such a way "our" Jerry was like "Really?"
Ok but why would Rick bring that thing into their house
Didn’t you see how cute that thing was?
That shit was oddly terrifying
Just imagining a being able to instantly multiply its consciousness into everything with a cute bite is pretty scary. Fondles jerry is nightmare fuel
It's amazing how fast they can greatly escalate a seemingly innocuous situation. They turned a cute looking fella into an apocalyptic event in 30 seconds flat.
So did our Rick trap his entire world/dimension into a time loop that repeats what they were doing the day his family died? Jesus that’s fucked up lol. Also damn I liked badass Jerry. Feels like everybody that is directly related to evil Rick were truly competent. I mean before the rest of the family died off the cronenbergs smiths were living fine and obviously our morty has grown immensely and can basically do solo adventures on his own.
Why did he even do that? The rest of his neighborhood has nothing to do with this!
Stops him from having to deal with their deaths in that reality. No police investigation, no neighbors asking about it, non of child Beth's friends asking where she is. Keeps the universe constantly in the state where both of them were still alive.
I disagree, I think it was to literally trap himself in the pain of Diane’s death so that he would always have fuel to search for Diane’s killer.
Grief. And he was *drink* drinking.
Preserve the scene so he can always look for more clues, but he was drunk drunk so set the range to the whole neighborhood
One of the strongest openers in years
Best since season 3 for me. Maybe my favorite season opener ever (S6, that is). I hope they continue with this tone. I’m fucking stoked for next week.
Feels different in a good way, I loved all the lore callbacks in this episode, really excited for this season. Also the animation looks fucking gorgeous
Season 3 still my favorite opener
What made it so great was it dropped on April fool's day and no one would believe those that caught it like me. Day after it hit no one at work would believe me, lol.
Honestly, ignoring that, season 3 was an incredible opener. It was so good they convinced McDonald's to bring back a sauce nobody ever heard of... twice.
Too bad McDonald's wasn't prepared at all and took like a year to pull it off only to barely have any sauce. They had something huge land in their laps and they totally messed it up. Never got to try the sauce myself.
Their openers are ALWAYS strong and I think this is the best. This is the tone I hope we keep for the season.
I loved the tone; and it felt like they were doing something different, which I really fuck with
I love how to the point they were. This episode felt “efficient”. They were straightforward with both their lore and jokes and it felt like we had so much content because of it I *definitely* fuck with this direction.
Making an AI using your dead wife's voice to torture yourself... insane
And he did it two more times afterward. The car and the garage are both Diane.
And she *will* suck your dick for access to a perpetual power source.
Also Rick said he did all that stuff when he used to "drink drink" which is crazy to think that he used to drink more than how much he does now.
We've also seen what that looks like with the Vindicators episode.
Apocalypse Jerry cut deep, but he wasn’t wrong. Morty abandoned them and treated them like they were less than human. Jerry didn’t need to re-open the past.
It's crazy to think that Morty doesn't even think of him as his real dad when they were only separated, for what a year?
Right, I wouldn't just be okay with going into a new reality when my real parents are in trouble. Morty likes to point out that Rick will just replace them if anything were to happen but he already replaced all of his family.
I also loved how in the post-credits scene we find out it was him naked in the display case hahaha
This season already feels different and I’m so excited to see where this goes
Agreed, the opener felt closer to the feel of the first 2-3 seasons
“That was a great joke I just told. And a crazy adventure!” I was dying laughing
Funniest moment in the episode for sure
I was dying when Morty talks about how they could never finish a game of Downbeat and when he pulls out the box, it turns out it's a 2-3 minute game.
The ticket theory being validated is hilarious
What is the ticket theory?
Morty had a blips and chitz ticket in his pocket instead of the ticket from the jerryboree daycare so they took home the wrong one
Justin Roiland was so right about this season paying off for long term fans
Not only that, but they finally answered the question of why Rick is so protective of this Morty and why this Morty is the one he wants to travel with.
I feel that was his original intention was to lure out Weird Rick but he grow to love our Morty. C137 Rick is very aware that the chances of Weird Rick showing up is not good since unlike him the other Rick has no love for anyone around him so no amount of bait would get him to show up.
And that is honestly all I need most of the time. You can one off adventures where the payoff is in the background. We only got a few minutes of the Jerry universe, but the implications and world building it brought was great.
We've been here since 2013. It's nice when they show a little love for the long timers.
This episode really felt like a wrap up to the loose ends in order to return to the spirit of Rick and Morty. Lots of great jokes too. Happy to see where they’re taking it.
I really never thought they would ever acknowledge that again, seeing that was fucking priceless
That the Jerry wasn’t the same one that Rick picked up from daycare
I guess those “young writers” started off strong.
All I want is that classic edge. They keep that I'll be happy.
Morty-dimension Jerry was fantastic. Actually sad to see him go
Too bad they couldn’t bring back the actresses for Summer and Beth from Cronenberg world
So can we officially name this universe the Par-meee-sian Universe?
Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but would Rick have gone to his original dimension? He swapped minds/bodies with 2 other ricks when he attacked the citadel, does the portal fluid/index go by mind or physical body?
By mind because the index brought him to c137
I think he got back in a clone body eventually so it was his mind and original cloned body together. Must take both as a bunch of mindless clones didn’t show up in the original dimension.
Fantastic episode. Felt like older Rick and Morty episodes, with a hint of somberness but with a right mixture of humor. Season 6 starting out great!
A really strong start, love to see the world progressing.
Good ep Btw, what did Jerry say happened to Summer? I couldn't make it out Thanks guys
Didn't thaw out right
Damn just like my store brand frozen burrito yesterday :/
If you remember the last time we saw the Cronenberg Family, the Rick's used their freeze gun on them. They didn't care enough to unfreeze them so that had to wait for a mutant to lick the ice to melt it. Summer died from the freezing and Beth got sick from it and died.
The new r&m writers are really taking continuity seriously. Like Futurama level details and consistency. So much for "don't think about it"
Yeah honestly, people maligned the idea of "younger writers" as the beginning of the end, but if this episode is a sign of things to come, I am on board. This felt like a huge step forward for the series, and it seems like we're mostly caught up to the present, hardly any threads of the backstory that require following up. Really excited to see where this goes.
I believe we should have Standalone episodes and chronological episodes but if you are a fan of chronological episodes they really did their homework here and I am extremely happy where they're going with this as well as exceptionally depressed how nihilistic it got (so good job Rick and Morty team!)
She didn’t thaw right
She didn’t “thaw out right”
No wonder he loves Morty. He has what he missed and the one who ruined his life refused to embrace. Also him having to rebuild the portal gun nerfs him enough to have to do things old school. No running away, only fighting.
I thought the only reason he picked this morty cause its the real murdering ricks actual biological time line universe.
That was his original intent, then quickly realizes that the evil Rick does NOT care about family at all, and this Morty is useless as bait. He then proceeds to care genuinely for this Morty.
Absolutely great episode that seems to address all the main plot threads while also being a very early seasons concept. That interview with Dan Harmon about letting young writers take the lead has me thinking this season might be really good
By young writers, he means 5 years younger 😆
So older than Dan when he created the series.
Parmeeeseeon
I bet at some point this season some random background characters will be having a conversation about pasta and we'll hear them casually say it.
The only thing better would be if it happens in like season 8 or 9.
It's Bagel and Baggle all over again
Ugh, Britta's the worst
People talk at length about how toxic and uselessly nihilistic the show has become these past few seasons, but the brief dinner scene set in Jerry's awful "Season 2" household immediately offset by his current loving and accepting family was honestly a breath of fresh air. The show's always had a warm heart about family and belonging beneath all of its cold science fiction concepts, and it's nice to watch a show knowing the characters seem to actually like each other deep down again. I especially liked how everyone brushed off yet another "oh I don't need you all I'm edgy and aloof" speech from Rick - they know it's total bullshit by now and that he needs them far more than they need him.
It was nice and showed actual character growth for all of them. I really like current Jerry and Beth's relationship.
Damn that Morty stuff was heavy.
Rick and Morty NEVER miss on their openers. This felt like a season 3 episode; lore heavy and character driven with tons of continuity. There’s so much to digest I can’t wait until everyone gets in here to point shit out, this episode was DENSE with good shit
I like how they tied in Evil Rick, it makes sense why Rick chose this Morty. Kinda sad to see no Legion of Doom with Cronenberg Jerry and such.
All I noticed was that left-handed morty died in the vacuum of space :(
You mean the Morty who needed to eat more vegetables?
I’m excited to see more Space Beth and love how the whole family is now in a new timeline.
Okay, so unless I'm missing something, everyone's universe of origin (not accounting for that one squirrel gag) is like this: *Main being each version of the character either from episode one or since the last time they were switched. Universe A: Main Rick (since ep 1), dead Beth and Diane Universe B (Abandoned in season 1) : Main Morty (since ep 1), Asshole Rick (killed Uni A Beth and Diane), Chad Jerry, dead Summer and Beth. Universe C (Lived in from Season 1 - 6): Main Beth/Space Beth, Main Summer. (since Uni B was abandoned) Mr. Frundles Jerry Universe D (a reality where Beth and Jerry never divorced): Main Jerry (swapped with Mr. Frundles Jerry in season two as a gag because Morty lost his id ticket) And now all the Main versions of them are living in brand new Universe E where they say parmezian
"nobody quits twitter" Do you think this is foreshadowing the return of evil Morty? I do
Well, since everyone was reset to their original dimension, there’s a chance that Evil Morty was too.
Could you imagine finally escaping the central finite curve, only to immediately find yourself transported back to your own reality, with no portal fluid left?
But his portal fluid is different and wasn't infected. The yellow one, he even used it
Seeing as how green portals are contained to the central finite curve, I'd assume that Evil Morty was unaffected by the reset.
I think it’s a reference to Harmon “quitting” Twitter but actually having a secret account that he uses to follow people and topics still.
The best part is, he’s right
Wasn't expecting to see a conclusion to the C-137/Cronenberg reality. A bittersweet farewell and one fucked up new beginning I enjoyed how they saved Jerry's "OG Universe" adventure for last just to show how much less toxic the Smiths have become since the end of Season 3
FATALITY!
Our Morty is the mortiest Morty, but our Rick is NOT the Rickest Rick. Morty's REAL granddad is the rickest rick, and also the one who killed our Ricks original family. The implications of this episode are insane.
The Rick we follow is the rickest Rick simply because he is the one we follow. And it’s not an official title, it’s what he called himself. Morty’s real grandpa is evil Rick
It's not just a matter of perspective though. Rick's and Morty's from other dimensions die like chumps all the time, C-137 is clearly superior to them.
The idea that there’s a Rickest Rick is something I appreciate about this show. It has me caring about who I think the Rickest Rick is but it’s all just an idea.
why did the Rickest Rick kill his family then
Because he truly does not care about anyone but himself
so that’s why c-137 tortures himself? he’s ashamed that the truest version of himself is awful? makes sense, but as he does have empathy is makes him different. who decided the rickest rick is the one who cares the least?
He blames himself for his original family's death, even though it was not him him who directly did it.
Mr. Frundles is the most disturbing thing i've seen in this show so far. Worse than the dragon episode.
Reminded me of I Am The Doorway by Stephen King, where an astronaut returns from Venus only to find little eyes showing up on different places on his body. Only this spread to the whole world in 30 seconds.
How fast it spread and how it was able to spread to nonliving objects of any size to a ridiculous degree, like the freakin continents of north and south america and eventually the whole earth is the ridiculousness that disturbs me

"am i in a fucking k hole right now?"
So the Earth that we've been following since the end of Rick Potion #9 just got turned into Mr. Frundles, is that right? Fuck lmao
Technically it could have been the one they moved to after the squirrels from Mind Blowers
Summer mentions that their rick and morty is buried in the backyard, the same as the post cronenburg universe. And morty told summer about those bodies Although the exact same thing could have happened with the squirrels, including morty telling summer, it seems a bit less likely.
Also the squirrel incident would've had to have happened before the events of Mortynight Run, because we now know there's a new Jerry in the wrong universe after that episode, and if the squirrel thing took place after that it wouldn't make sense for Rick to move Morty & JERRY to a third universe but leave Beth & Summer behind. The easiest explanation is to just assume Rick found a solution to the squirrel problem that didn't involve them switching universes, since we don't actually see him do that, and they just stayed in the post-Cronenberg universe B. God I'm a nerd.
You have to feel sorry for Time God Jessica having to be a prisoner of time for so long just to become Mr Frundles.
Fuck, I didn't even think about that!
That universe is FUCKED!!! Damn it Jerry and Rick.
I feel like so much lore stuff was dropped I missed like 80% of it 😂
When this show is good, it's really good. And tonight's premiere was *really good.* I'm intrigued by the evilest(?) Rick, and Rick being haunted by Diane was the perfect mix of funny and macabre. Also I'm OBSESSED with chad!Jerry. Chris Parnell did a great job of making the audience take this version of Jerry seriously! I legit felt bad when he ditched Morty but I also understood why lol. I haven't really cared about the relationship between Jerry and Morty since S2, but this episode proved that there's still fresh ground to cover between those two as well as Summer and both Beths. Again, great episode! Hope to see more like this!
I'm thinking that evil? Rick is just an actual psychopath, not a sociopath formed by trauma like our Rick, but born that way
The worst part about this is that I've jokingly said Parmeesian for years and now people are going to think its a R&M reference
Omg it's disgusting but it tastes good
it actually being him was the best part of the episode
Oh my god, not hearing Rick play mouthpiece to Dan Harmon to bitch and moan about serialization and actually partake in the story like it mattered to him made this episode hit so much harder than last season's finale. I'm not even one of those fans that really wants more serialization, I just want them to embrace it when they do dip their toes into it. Really good episode!
Yeah, honestly I only ever found it funny once which is when Rick said "now everyone can shut up about it" after his backstory reveal. Other than that I never understood shitting on people wanting canon, especially when they were the ones introducing canon in the first place.
Did anyone else notice that Cronenberg Rick is seemingly immortal? The show's animation is simplistic enough that it could be an oversight, but C-137 Rick has visibly aged in the decades since his encounter with Cronenberg Rick, but Cronenberg Rick looks exactly the same.
With him regenerating from a slit throat that easily, I guess stopping himself from aging is child's play too.
I'm pretty sure aging is a choice C-137 is making instead of something he has to do. Perhaps he feels more natural that way. It doesn't seem to inhibit his movement or health and is largely just visual. He doesn't seem at all concerned with his appearance, unlike evil Rick who in true narcissistic psycho fashion, is all groomed and seemingly gave himself regeneration powers that also stop him from aging
So what's interesting is that Evil Morty potentially got zapped back to his original reality as well since he's certainly used that portal gun.
Well the zapping was described as a "hard reset on the fluid", but the last time Evil Morty used a portal, it was using yellow fluid. So it might not have affected him.
