How Many Episodes In Season 5 Rick And Morty

Okay, let's talk Rick and Morty. Specifically, Season 5. Remember that one? The one that aired way back when we still thought hand sanitizer was a fashion statement?
How Many Episodes, Though?
Seriously, how many episodes were there? Ten, right? It feels like ten. But sometimes, my memory is about as reliable as Rick's portal gun after a few too many Fleeb juice boxes.
Yup, it was ten. Ten episodes of interdimensional cable, family drama, and existential dread. You know, the usual.

Ten Isn't Always Enough (An Unpopular Opinion)
Now, here's where I might lose some of you. Ten episodes is... fine. But is it enough? In my humble, possibly booze-influenced opinion, no.
Think about it. We wait literal eons (okay, maybe just a year or two) between seasons. Then BAM! Ten episodes. They're gone in a flash faster than you can say "Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!"

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the quality. The writing is sharp. The animation is slick. But I'm greedy! I want more!
More Adventures, More Problems, More Rick and Morty!
Imagine if Season 5 had, say, thirteen episodes. Three extra doses of madness. We could have explored alternate realities where Morty is the evil genius and Rick is the hapless sidekick. Or maybe witness a full episode dedicated to Mr. Poopybutthole's family reunion.
The possibilities are endless! Adult Swim, are you listening? Give the people what they want! (Which is more Rick and Morty, obviously.)

The Filler Episode Argument (And Why I Don't Care)
I know what you're thinking. "But what about filler episodes? We don't want those!" To which I say: Even a mediocre Rick and Morty episode is better than most things on TV.
Besides, some of my favorite moments came from episodes that weren't necessarily plot-heavy. Remember the time they became pickles? Pure genius!
So, bring on the filler! I'll take it! I'll cherish it! I'll analyze it frame by frame looking for hidden Easter eggs! I'm that committed.

In Conclusion: We Need More!
Look, I understand that making a show like Rick and Morty is hard work. It requires a team of incredibly talented writers, animators, and voice actors. I respect that.
But my love for this show knows no bounds! My thirst for interdimensional adventure is insatiable! I'm a fiend for Fleeb juice! (Metaphorically, of course. Probably.)
So, please, Adult Swim. Next season, give us more. Give us fifteen! Give us twenty! Let's go wild! Let's get schwifty! The world deserves more Rick and Morty. And so do I.

And yes, I know they ordered a ton of episodes. I'm just impatient. Sue me.
Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!
