Rick And Morty 2nd Episode For Season 3 Finally Released Yesterday

Fans finally reunited with ‘Rick and Morty’ on Sunday, when Adult Swim premiered the second episode of the anticipated third season of the animated series.

And that wasn’t the only reunion. Hours before the anticipated series premiere, Justin Roiland the series creator, reunited with the McDonald’s Szechuan sauce.

Finally, ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 3 is back.

News regarding the third season has been quite turbulent. On April Fool’s Day earlier this year, the first episode was suddenly released to rave reviews from critics, spawning another Internet dominating meme, McDonald’s Szechuan.

Fans were ecstatic when the Season 3 premiere was released as a surprise on April 1. But ever since then, it’s been tough to wait for Episode 2. But it’s finally over.

Adult Swim aired the long-expected second episode on Sunday night, and fans couldn’t be happier. The episode is also available on mobile device and streaming.

The show about Rick Sanchez, a boozing, dimension-hopping scientific genius who’s so reckless that he doesn’t observe the normal gravitational pull of morality. His perpetually nervous grandson Morty, who asks the quavery questions that heighten the comedy of philosophical conflict; and the rest of the family that’s along for the trippy ride, it’s back!

While it’s safe to say that Rick and Morty are back with their adventures. Adult Swim hasn’t released official information regarding the number of episodes.

Back in December, during a Magic City Comic Con panel, Harmon said there were going to be 14 episodes in Season 3. But at the moment, we have six episodes with titles confirmed for Season 3. The rest of the titles haven’t been released yet. The released titles are:

Episode 1: The Rickshank Redemption; E02: Rickmancing the Stone; Episode 3: Pickle Rick; E04: Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender; Episode 5: The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy and finally, Rest and Ricklaxation for episode 6.

Writing episodes this season is newcomers Robot Chicken’s Jessica Gao, Sarah Carbiener, and Erica Rosbe, along with trusted writers Ryan Ridley and Dan Guterman.

What took so long to get a Season 3?

The question had hung over Adult Swim’s animated smash ‘Rick and Morty’ for so long that when the show’s creators took San Diego’s Comic-Con International stage a week ago, any answer was spoken in the tone of implied half-apology.

“Because we respect you guys so much,” Roiland tossed out to the Comic-Con throng as a partial answer.

“We’re afraid of letting you down,” Harmon chimed in. “There’s a lot of you – you’re kind of scary.”

But it’s no joke. The creators and crew actually took care of every detail in order to make this season quite satisfactory for fans. And creators Harmon and Roiland addressed these perils of making content-famished fans wait so long.

“It’s a syndrome, isn’t it?” Harmon replied. “You start making them wait, and then you’re like: ‘They’re going to kill me. I should make this really good. How do I do that? By taking longer.’ ”

The line got a laugh, but that insight also offers a true peek into how Harmon and Roiland’s style of collaboration was required to get Season 3 into gear.

Although Harmon (“Community”) and Roiland (“Fish Hooks”) are veterans of creating series comedy under deadline, there was something about a third season of “Rick and Morty” that spun them into what Roiland calls the Vortex of Not-Good-Enough.

Well, we can expect greatness, for sure.

All it took was Roiland planning the idea in our heads

Ther are a lot of items McDonald’s has retired over the years, but few have caused as much of an outrage as its Szechuan sauce.

The sweet and sour sauce was added to the menu for a limited time only in 1998 to promote Disney’s Mulan film.

This outrage was shared by Justin Roiland, creator of ‘Rick and Morty,’ who has carried a two-decade torch for the sauce.

He even turned his love for it into a crucial plot point of the Season 3 premiere of “Rick and Morty,” which aired April 1 on Cartoon Network as a sneak preview.

In the episode, Rick Sanchez, who was seen being imprisoned by aliens, declared to grandson Morty that he was going to do everything he could to get his hands on the discontinued sauce.

And it caused a fuzz, like If he’d gone full Leonardo DiCaprio on ‘Inception’ and planted the idea in our heads.

Then during the Comic-Con he even joked about talking to McDs to bring back the sauce. McDonald’s apparently answered his prayers.

Seeing all the fuzz last night episode has caused around the legendary sauce, the fast-food giant took the chance to attach their product to hot pop culture brand. They sent Roiland a jug of the sauce just before the third season premiere.

As shown in pictures Roiland posted on Twitter, the company sent him the sauce in a mocked-up futuristic suitcase, complete with a letter that claims that it comes from “Dimension C-1998M,” “a dimension where it’s always 1998.”

“We finally did it. It took months, but we’ve finally brought back some Szechuan Sauce. We’ll spare you the physics, but turns out, Dimension C-1998M is a dimension where it’s always 1998,” read the letter.
