From the promo that aired, it seemed like our dimension-hopping duo was getting involved in some kind of "Game of Thrones" situation. While we're already expecting big things from the season finale (because admit it, things have been going a little too well for the fam), it's the lack of intel on this weekend's episode from Adult Swim (S06E09 "A Rick in King Mortur's Mort") that got our radar buzzing. So let's take a moment to pause and reflect on the fact that we're down to only two new episodes of Dan Harmon & Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty before we start harassing the creative team for early spoilers on the seventh season. But we'll embrace these "eyes of the storm" when we get them. Something just isn't feeling quite right… and with Rick Prime, Evil Morty, and others still out there, it's a safe feeling to have. Now, with that said? I'm worried that things are going way too well for Rick, Morty, and the family. It was a nice change of pace and showed a level of communication & respect between the two that was both a pleasant surprise and a natural evolution of their dynamic. And oddly enough, it… works? Unless there's some big twist on the way in the season finale, we might be witnessing a season of character growth & development unlike any we've seen in live-action series, let alone animated series. Aside from some early moments of passive-aggressive "support," this Rick was legit serious about approaching his partnership with Morty differently. This wasn't a Rick who had a shady plan up his sleeve or a snarky "moral to this story" like he's been known to have for Morty in the past. SO WHAT DID WE THINK? The biggest revelation about this episode is what didn't happen. RICK AND MORTY (Image: Adult Swim Screencap) A Look at Rick and Morty S06E09 "A Rick in King Mortur's Mort" Is Rick actually… trying? So with that in mind, we're throwing on the " MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!" sign and throwing down an image spoiler buffer as we deep dive into the season's penultimate episode. So what did we get? An episode that left the viewer feeling like Morty, confronted with a Rick who kept us waiting for the other shoe to drop only to prove both Morty and us wrong. Because we all know how well that worked out for a planet of evolved snakes (see S04E05 "Rattlestar Ricklactica"). But the episode overview didn't help, referring to Morty getting a gift from a random stranger (we're guessing it's the sword) and how when Rick tells you not to do something? You don't do it. In 2018, Adult Swim gave “Rick and Morty” a massive 70-episode renewal, part of a long-term deal Harmon and Roiland signed with Adult Swim.So let's take a moment to pause and reflect on the fact that we're down to only two new episodes of Dan Harmon & Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty before we start harassing the creative team for early spoilers on the seventh season. The slightly-higher-than-one-year gap between Season 6 and Season 5, which concluded in August 2021, marks one of the shortest interims between seasons for “Rick and Morty.” In prior years, Season 4 debuted in November 2019 and aired five episodes before the season resumed and concluded in May 2020, while Season 3 aired in 2017, Season 2 in 2015 and Season 1 in 2013-2014. Harmon Roiland serve as creators and executive producers. “As we prepare to launch this soon-to-be iconic season, we will be giving fans a unique way to be part of the fun – so keep your eyes peeled.”Īlong with Roiland, the series also stars the voices of Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell and Spencer Grammer. “It’s hard to overstate the impact of ‘Rick and Morty.’ More than a hit show, it is truly a global phenomenon,” Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network, said in a statement accompanying the announcement.
