Rick and Morty Season 5 E02: A Plan to Kill God Is Rudely Interrupted

After getting a crash course in all things Mr. Nimbus last week, this weekend's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty deals with some of the fallout from "Space Beth." See, since a lot of folks in the universe want Rick dead even more after what happened in the fourth season finale, he's planted clone decoys around the country to serve as "fail-safes" in case anyone comes looking to kill him and the family. This brings us to the cold open for the next Season 5 episode, "Mortyplicity"- where Rick and Morty's plan to kill Christian God gets rudely interrupted and the adorable little moving target from the trailers apparently has a name: Mr. Always-Wants-To-Be-Hunted.

Here's a look at the cold open this season's second episode "Mortyplicity," with Adult Swim's Rick and Morty returning this Sunday night at 11 pm E:

Speaking of the season-opener, here it is once again- available for you to view for free on YouTube. Not too shabby, right? But if you're looking for a more "unique" way to watch it, then continue on…

In the following video, viewers can watch the Season 5 premiere from inside Rick's ship as it was launched outside the bonds of Earth for a truly "universal" broadcast (seriously though, a very cool way to watch whatever your "altered state" might be at the time):

Next up, Harmon, writer Jeff Loveness, director Jacob Hair, and showrunner Scott Marder offer some perspective on the questions and issues raised during the opener:

Kicking off with the season-opener "Mort Dinner Rick Andre," the titles for the fifth season include "Mortyplicity," "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall," "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort," "Rick and Morty's Tanksploitation Spectacular," "Rickdependence Spray," "Amortycan Grickfitti," "Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion," "Rickmurai Jack," and "A Rickconvenient Mort." Now here's a look at the third trailer for Adult Swim's Rick and Morty:

So here's a look back at the second official trailer for Rick and Morty Season 5, with more clues to what lies ahead when the dimensional-hopping duo head back to Adult Swim this Summer:
