Although this is still Rick & Morty, so your guess is as good as ours.
We all love Rick & Morty.
If you don’t, why did you click on this link? Go read something else. Go read this.
Everyone still here has likely already seen the most-recent trailer (here, just in case), and probably knows each episode inside and out (which you can prove to yourself and others, here).
While we all wait for the arrival of the first episode from the first half the new season on Adult Swim on Friday 10 November (with the second half to arrive at an unspecified later date), the folks behind the show have revealed the titles for those first five episodes.
It is possible, kind of, with some brain-twisting and stuff, to ascertain bits and pieces of plot from Rick & Morty episode titles. “M. Night Shyama-aliens” was about a race of extraterrestrials who enjoyed constantly pulling the rug and throwing plot twists into the mix, “Total Rickall” was about the implantation of fake memories, and “A Rickle In Time” did deal with, well, a wrinkle in the passage of time.
However, they’re not ALL that easy to decipher. Ahead of time, what “Get Schwifty” meant was anyone’s guess.
With that in mind, here are the titles, and our best guess at the major plot devices that could be used therein:
Edge of ToMorty: Rick Die Rickpeat – Rick has developed a way to stop death, or at least undo it, and uses it on Morty for some (most-likely entirely unnecessary) reason.
The Old Man and the Seat – Considering that The Old Man and the Sea is about someone becoming obsessed with killing a big fish, we’re thinking this will have Rick going to war over someone sitting in his favourite chair?
One Crew Over the Crewcoo’s Morty – Sounds like an episode set in a spaceship that is also an insane asylum, and we’re betting it is Rick that is getting thrown in there.
Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty – The space police will be involved… and… well, the Special Victim’s Unit of Law and Order usually deals with crimes where the victim survives and helps assist the police to catch the criminal, we’re guessing Morty is going to help find a baddie alien.
Rattlestar Ricklactica – Rattlestar makes us think a snake might be involved and…. nope, that’s it. That is all we’ve got on this one.
