IMO this 15 minute video was a lot of fun: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/mZpKQLsI1eE/maxresdefault.jpg "Doctor REACTS to Rick & Morty | Psychiatrist Analyzes Pickle Rick | Dr Elliott") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZpKQLsI1eE) ---

A bunch of shorts were just released. They are snippets of the Vindicators movie (I haven’t watched them all yet). The first few that I have watched are pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AJzpJh9_KFg?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLQl8zBB7bPvIQtmYNzq4jUyAklN--2aYt ---

To be clear, there isn’t actually a Vindicators movie being made from which these are clips. These are all that there is. ---

Right. You get just enough flavour to make their episode a little more clear. ---

Whats funny is the Vindicator episode is Harmons least favorite because it doesn’t follow his normal ‘story circle’…hilariously though it IS plotted like a TNG episode. Harmon accidentally created a Braga TNG ep. ---

[Apparently it’s a Vindicator spinoff](https://bleedingcool.com/tv/rick-and-morty-prequel-spinoff-the-vindicators-2-premieres-saturday/), the one which was missed out when Rick wasn’t invited. ---

So, is Jerry wearing Morty’s clothes or does grown up Morty look scary similar to Jerry? ---

What ive always loved about Rick and Morty is its a superior Sci-fi show…new episode is great so far. ---

Well, that makes three Earths our Rick and Morty have had to abandon now - C-137 which got Cronenberged, the one they moved to afterward where Morty found out about the squirrels, and the one they went to after that which is now Mr. Frundles. They’ve brought along the Summer, Beth, and Space Beth from Frundles-world, and a Jerry who got swapped with their original Jerry back in season 2, since their Jerry has been Frundles-ed and Morty’s original Jerry has now been killed by his original Rick, who killed our Rick’s Diane and Beth. “Par-MEECE-ee-un”. ---

I liked the new season-premiere episode. Given that they’ve spent a lot of previous seasons exploring the relationships between the family members, I guess it makes sense to examine the topic of Rick’s use of multiple universes to form his family. Too bad about Bad-Ass Jerry…he had potential as a foil for our usual Cringing Jerrys. ---

Season 2 Jerry is the one who got turned into Mr. Frundles. The Jerry we have now is the one who flipped off the Season 2 Smith family on his way back to C-131. ---

The Jerry we have now is the one who flipped off the Season 2 Smith family on his way back to C-131. I meant the Jerry who had (until the end of the episode) survived the Cronenberg World --not the Frundles one. But, yes: the Frundles one is essentially dead, too, presumably. (Not that he would be very interesting as a foil to the Standard Jerrys.) ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > I meant the Jerry who had (until the end of the episode) survived the Cronenberg World --not the Frundles one. Ah. Too many Jerries to keep track of. Rick was right to build an interdimensional daycare center for them. (I wonder how Paul Fleischman is doing over there.)
