So glad Rick and Morty is on a reasonable schedule now so we didn't have to wait years for a new season, especially considering where the season 5 finale left off. I was surprised this season starts right where the last one left off, as they don't do that very often. A good episode, even though it seemed to fly by. I'm excited to see where this season goes. I think the fact that they are working on a bulk of episodes at once helps the canonical stories, even though I enjoy the one-offs as well. If you have been a fan of the show, expect more of what you're used to. Good episode to start season 6 with.

The show has grown up, going back to its roots, both in terms of canon and Rick and Morty's relationship.

Solid premiere, deconstructs the lore in a way that both gives a satisfying conclusion to the events of Season 5, and opens the door for more exploration in the following episodes/seasons. The family dynamic is more prominent here than ever, seeing the Smiths adjust to their new roles in the grander scheme of multiversal adventures.

Regarding the episode's story, while it may stray away from a gimmicky premise, preferring to tidy up the mess that last season's finale made lore-wise, it does have its laugh-out-loud moments and cool scenes, though they are not the focus of this premiere, which instead delves into the emotional core of Rick and Morty, presenting us with protagonists that are as confused and uncertain as they are weirdly confident in their abilities (and dare I say, mature). All in all, solid premiere that delivers on the promise of canon and family dynamics, allowing each character to shine and question their status in the family/universe.

As for Rick and Morty, their relationship feels just as grown-up as the world they inhabit, reminding me more of Seasons 1 and 2 rather than the more cynical following seasons, as they more than ever feel like a duo that could take on anything the multiverse could offer.

8/10.

Finally we get a glimpse of what our Rick is up against. This is a big episode. This was only the 2nd appearance of Rick Prime. We got to dive into our Rick's past and what really transpired that made him who he is now. It only took 6 seasons to finally see Rick Prime in action. Previous appearance was just a memory. I hope it doesn't take another 5-6 seasons for his story to unfold.

Learned a lot more about portal fluids. Maybe there's more to it than what meets the eyes.

Apocalyptic Jerry scene with Morty was so tense and emotional. Great writing!

It was very poetic. At the end, everyone knew their place in the universe.

On par with season 3 opening and clearly better than both openings of 4 and 5. This episode adds new themes and expands on old ones in ways that are fresh and exciting. I feel like the pace was amazing is really enjoyable to die hard Rick and Morty fans who enjoy continuation of the main story rather than an episode that could be a standalone. Very good start to the season and hopefully the next episodes in this season reflect and take note, especially considering the amazing reviews left on the main story-based episodes for upcoming seasons. The writers should take note of the fans wants and desires and they seem to all be pointing towards these types of episodes. The only thing that I was upset about is the ending can be quite confusing and I had to re-watch it in order to discover what I think happened as many different things were occurring. Definitely brush up on your past Rick and Morty episodes if you haven't already because it will help tremendously!

With this first episode calling back to a lot of previous season it felt refreshing to be back in the golden age of the show. I think after last season this episode is showing to have similar aspects to the season 5 intro and I just hope it stays that way. I really enjoyed this as the pilot of the season and the Mr. Frundles ending is priceless. Defiantly was my favorite part of the episode as it was an unexpected but classic joke. Hell of an opener and a classic episode. This season is for sure looking promising can't wait to see more. This was a 10/10 for me as the plot was clever and had a bunch of laughs throughout it.
