'Rick and Morty' Season 6 premiere explainer: All burning questions ... (Mashable)

In Season 2, episode 2, "Mortynight Run," Rick and Morty leave Jerry at a daycare for off-planet Jerries, so the doddering dads won't die in an adventure. He risked the lives of his Beths for a showdown in a stealth space station. In that episode, as here, Summer was trusted with the instructions and devices to save Rick and Morty from their dumb choices. He was taking the killer's place to lie in wait, and for all the time he's been adventuring with Morty, Killer Rick never came back. When the Citadel sent Ricks to reclaim C-137's portal gun from Morty and Summer in "Rickshank Redemption," they froze the surviving Smiths. In "Solaricks," a bearded, badass Jerry informs Morty that this ice killed "Hunger Games Summer" and made Beth fatally ill. In "Rick Potion #9," a love potion gone wrong turned everyone not related to Morty into a "Cronenberg" monster, hungry for Smith family flesh. Season 6 picks up with Rick and Morty stranded in space in a broken-down escape saucer. In ravenous grief, Rick C-137 set out across the dimensions, slaughtering any version of himself that he could find to kill the Rick who killed his family. Rick and Morty were left behind in the crumbling Citadel of Ricks, from which they narrowly escaped after his portal gun fluid was contaminated by Evil Morty. Season 5 built the canon for Rick Sanchez with a pair of intense episodes. Rick and Morty has returned with a bonkers premiere episode, "Solaricks."

'Rick and Morty' Co-Creator Dan Harmon on Deciphering Rick's Past ... (Variety)

'Rick and Morty' co-creator Dan Harmon breaks down the Season 6 premiere's revelations about Rick's past and Morty's grandpa.

And we did amazing work, but as far as the embrace of “Rick and Morty” as this massive franchise with a natural canon and serialization to it, that spoke of drama to me on an emotional level, and in the midst of all this tumult, I think there was an unconscious desire to avoid that. So the long answer to your question is then, going into Season 6, when there was a little bit more stability, a little feeling of getting to start now, again, in a post-Mendel world, I think the first thing that came up was, are we going to tell an overarching story here about Rick’s one-armed man and his “Fugitive” kind of thing? We lost our father figure, Mike Mendel, who was the master over at “The Simpsons,” and then he was the reason why “Rick and Morty,” in spite of its kind of punk rock-ness, was still able to compete in an adult business. Rick Prime and Morty Prime have been together ever since, though they did abandon Murder Rick’s world for an exact replica when it was Cronenberg-ed half way through “Rick and Morty” Season 1. Well, their grandpa died and they’re going to Bed, Bath & Beyond because they don’t want to deal with it and they’re sorting those candles in kind of a crazy way. He was very much the dad to everybody in that office and then he was gone, and no one, not even him, could have predicted it.

'Rick and Morty' Season 6: 5 Things You Missed in Episode 1 (Decider)

At the end of “Solaris”, our version of the family returns to find their original Jerry in a huff because Rick has stored another “boogens” in the house. In “The Rickshank Rickdemption”, Summer and Morty dig up the corpses of that dimension’s original Rick and Morty and use dead Rick’s portal gun to travel to Morty’s Cronenberg home. We know that our Morty came from a universe that he and Rick Cronenberg-ed in “Rick Potion #9.” But when he returns to his dimension in “Solaricks”, he only finds an apocalyptic version of his dad. While trying to reset his portal fluid, Rick accidentally resets all interdimensional travelers, forcing the Rick, Morty, and Jerry (Chris Parnell) we know and love to return to their original universes. It’s less clear what the Rick and Morty version of the Cosmic Cube will do. After a disappointing adventure with a dragon in “Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty”, Rick says, “Should have taken me up on those Wolverine claws instead, Morty.” You know what that is?

Rick and Morty Season 6 Premiere Review - "Solaricks" - IGN (IGN)

Rick and Morty emulates Avengers: Endgame in its Season 6 premiere, which looks back at past plots to demonstrate how much the series has grown.

Having an unrepentant version of Rick serve as a villain provides a great way for the show’s writers to have an outlet for his most brutal lines and actions, even as the primary version of the character continues to change. Rick’s original world is a nightmare of his own making where he’s literally haunted by his dead wife and has kept his entire neighborhood trapped in his grief. Season 2 saw Jerry (Chris Parnell) embodied as a cowardly worm, but he’s one of the most improved characters in the show. The Season 6 [Rick and Morty](/tv/rick-morty) premiere “Solaricks” explicitly parodies that film as it replays the same story beats with an excellent action-packed episode that demonstrates just how much the show has grown and hints at the depths it’s only beginning to explore.

Rick And Morty: Season 6 Premiere Review (Game Rant)

Rick and Morty come back with a bang in a premiere episode that puts season 6 on the right track.

[have mocked the nature of multiversal plots](https://gamerant.com/rick-and-morty-dan-harmon-multiverse-sci-fi-cheat-code/), but regardless of that, they’ve done a great job putting Rick and Morty where it is right now. Overall, coming off such an impactful finale last season, “Solaricks” puts Rick and Morty back on track, plus it outlines a straightforward plot (at least in Rick and Morty terms) as the show progresses towards a more streamlined storyline. [a nice MCU and X-Men easter egg](https://gamerant.com/x-men-comic-stories-adapt-mcu/) waiting in the basement. At the same time, Rick Prime is shown to be a formidable foe for mainline Rick, and naturally, fans will want to see more of that conflict this season. [a clear Avengers: Endgame reference](https://gamerant.com/marvels-avengers-infinity-stone-iron-man-endgame-skin/) as Rick shares his regrets with Morty after becoming the latest sorrowful voice trapped in space to find themselves narrating the tale of their demise, though Morty has no problem pointing out why he doesn’t refer to Iron Man directly. [Rick and Morty](https://gamerant.com/tag/rick-and-morty/) humor fans have grown to love, thus making “Solaricks” fulfill the promise that comes with new entries.

'Rick and Morty' Season 6 Episode 1 Recap: A New Challenger ... (Collider.com)

Stranded, but not lost. rick-and-morty-season-6-solaricks-recap-social- Image via Adult Swim.

There, Rick and Morty even come face to face with a possible clone, while they are mocked by a recording by Evil Rick. In his original reality, the main Rick keeps things just as they were on the day of the attack, as a constant reminder of his failure. So, while in Season 1 Morty was willing to ignore his sins, now they come back to haunt him and force him to realize that he is accountable for the pain he causes to other people. Rick uses the beacon to rescue Morty first, revealing that the Cronenberg dimension is the original home of Evil Rick. Rick usually underlines how everyone is expendable and that he can get any version of the Smiths he likes from other realities. Morty goes back to the Cronenberg Earth, a reality Rick and he destroyed in Season 1, Episode 6, “Rick Potion #9.” In that episode, an experiment gone wrong transforms almost all life on the planet into deformed bloodthirsty creatures. Of course, Rick and Morty don’t die in the Citadel, as Space Beth (voiced by Sarah Chalke) comes to their rescue. In Season 2, Morty loses the retrieval ticket for their Jerry, leading them to retrieve a Jerry that might not be their own. Season 6’s premiere, “Solaricks,” is here to show fans that the Rick and Morty crew understood the fair criticism and is ready to steer the new season's boat on a different course. They are incapable of using Rick's Portal Gun to jump through dimensions, since the destruction of the Central Finite Curve messes around with coordinates— and even the Rickiest Rick cannot think of a way to escape his death. Many decades before the series started, the Council of Ricks, with the help of Rick C-137, built walls around the multiverse to isolate only the realities where Rick is the smartest man alive. In Season 6, Episode 1, not only do we get a direct follow-up to the multiverse-crushing Season 5 finale, “Rickmurai Jack,” but we also earn some deep cuts on previous seasons — and not in the “let’s make some jokes and move on” kind of way, as the new season’s premiere really ties up a lot of loose ends and puts the Smith family at the center of a new storyline.
