WhatвЂ™s neat, too, about this premiere is that itвЂ™s basically pulling a reset. And I havenвЂ™t even mentioned that both Nathan Fillion and Nolan North are in this episode! Season premieres are tough and season one and twoвЂ™s were some of the showвЂ™s weakest stuff, but this isnвЂ™t just a kick-ass premiere, itвЂ™s a damn good episode of Rick And Morty in its own right. This is already more of a callback than season two pulled for its entire run and-on top of all the cool crap and tight storytelling already on display here-IвЂ™d say this is easily the best premiere the showвЂ™s ever done. RickвЂ™s body is still buried in the backyard and, by robbing the corpse of its portal gun, we get an awesome sequence in which Summer and Morty get to see how things have been going for the family Rick and Morty left behind in the world they CronenbergвЂ™d up. On top of everything else, this premiere does a great job of bringing back previous Rick And Morty plot developments, reminding us of the showвЂ™s commitment to its persistent multiverse. And Morty is the Morty heвЂ™s come to be up to this point: though he misses Rick, heвЂ™s been hurt by and is distrustful of him and, in a great moment, we learn that, above all, heвЂ™s just trying to protect his sister. Summer continues to come into her own as she refuses to accept RickвЂ™s capture and the Galactic FederationвЂ™s control. Rick, as usual, seems to care about his grandkids, but then he doesnвЂ™t, but then he does, but then he doesnвЂ™t and only cares about Mulan Szechuan dipping sauce. ThereвЂ™s lots of pitch-perfect character stuff in this episode. So itвЂ™s great fun we get to see that origin story anyway before Rick unmasks it for the nonsense that it is.ДЄlso great is that we apparently did get a glimpse into RickвЂ™s real origin story right before the fake one: his quest to bring back McDonaldвЂ™s limited-time Mulan Szechuan Chicken McNuggets Dipping Sauce.

Introducing BethвЂ™s mom is something fans have always wanted but co-creator Dan Harmon has always been adamant that revealing too much of RickвЂ™s past and turning him into a tragic figure who is how he is because something sad happened to him once would destroy the character.

In classic Rick And Morty fashion, the episode gets to have its cake and make a mockery of it too by committing to giving Rick a tragic origin story with a dead wife for a hilariously long time, enough that I thought there was a small chance they might be serious about it. In the span of twenty-three minutes we get to see what life on Earth under Federation rule is like we get a fake Rick origin story see how things are going with MortyвЂ™s original family back in Cronenberg World see Rick break out of prison and into the Citadel of Ricks and then we get to watch like everything blow up. Probably the coolest thing about this episode is just how totally packed with stuff it is. At the end of last season, Rick got imprisoned by the Galactic Federation and they also kind of took over Earth, so a lot of murder and explosions had to happen to get us back to the (almost) status quo. First off, it was one helluva sci-fi rigmarole smash-em-up.
