(Why does Rick hate himself so much?) In the two-parter finale, “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall” and “Rickmurai Jack,” the show finally circles back to answering one of the most profound, consequential questions at the heart of the series’ dynamic: What do Morty and Rick really mean to each other?
And now season 6 may look nothing like what we’ve come to expect from the series, in a good way.Īcross 50 episodes, Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s animated sci-fi sitcom has been propelled by Big Questions, from the farcical (what if there was a universe where people were chairs and food was made out of phones?) to the more serious. As the season 5 finale puts into perspective, much of the series’ run, the show’s format has mirrored the arc of Rick’s actual fragmented life, and now it was finally time to confront the messy consequences of his actions. As a fan of Rick and Morty, it’s a welcome change: With each subsequent season I’ve grown more exhausted with the show’s emphasis on one-off episodes where the plot repeats the same comedic broad strokes over and over again to diminishing effect - but maybe that’s by design. 5 with a two-part finale, leaving the mad scientist and his grandson-sidekick at a point where they can no longer run away from the past or the truth behind their relationship. Season 5 of Rick and Morty concluded on Sept.
