<i>Rick and Morty</i>’s ‘Surprise’ Season-Three Launch
This post contains spoilers for the new season-three episode of Rick and Morty.
On October 4, 2015, the Adult Swim animated sci-fi series aired its season-two finale. The episode, “The Wedding Squanchers,” built to a Red Wedding-esque massacre on a planet 6,000 light-years away from Earth, and an interstellar manhunt that drove the dysfunctional central family, the Smiths, and their mad-scientist patriarch Rick Sanchez into hiding.But the episode ended with Rick, an alleged terrorist, secretly turning himself over to the Galactic Federation police to protect his daughter, Beth, and his grandkids Morty and Summer. For a comedy that could be so silly and surreal (characters often have names like “Mr. Poopybutthole” and “King Flippy Nips”), to the soundtrack of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” way to end the season.
