Rick And Morty Season 5 Episode 11 Release Date

Okay, Let's Talk Rick and Morty Season 5 Episode 11 (Or, You Know, Lack Thereof)

So, remember when we were all hyped for Rick and Morty Season 5? Good times. Remember waiting for new episodes every week? Also, good times. But...where did episode 11 go? Like, vanished into the interdimensional ether.

Seriously, what even happened? It feels like we blinked, and the season was over. Suddenly, everyone was talking about the two-part finale and completely forgot about episode 11. Did it get eaten by a Cronenberg? Did Morty accidentally erase it from existence?

Let's be real. It's a running gag at this point.

The Case of the Missing Episode

Okay, so technically, there was an episode 11. It was part one of the finale. "Rickmurai Jack." But admit it. It doesn't feel like a proper episode 11, does it? It feels... different.

Like the show runners are messing with us. Did they decide to just lump two episodes together and call it a day? I wouldn't put it past Rick.

Unpopular opinion: The two-part finale felt rushed. Like they realized they were behind schedule and just crammed everything in. It was good, sure, but imagine if they'd split it up more evenly! We could have had a true standalone episode 11!

The Theories! Oh, the Theories!

The internet, as always, has delivered with some wild theories. Maybe episode 11 was so mind-bendingly brilliant that it broke the space-time continuum. A reasonable explanation, obviously.

Or perhaps it was too controversial. Maybe it featured a Morty with a questionable hobby or a Rick too drunk to function (hard to believe, I know). They probably hid it in the Citadel of Ricks' evidence room.

My personal favorite? The writers forgot they were supposed to make it. They were too busy playing Blips and Chitz. Happens to the best of us.

Acceptance... Or Denial?

At some point, you have to accept the reality. There is no grand conspiracy. There probably wasn't a super-secret episode that got canned. It's just the way things worked out.

But I still hold out hope! Maybe, just maybe, one day we'll get a bonus episode. A lost relic from Season 5. A little "sorry we skipped this one" gift from Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland.

It would be like finding a Szechuan sauce packet from 1998. Except way more existential.

In Conclusion: Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub... Where's Episode 11?

So, to sum it all up: Episode 11. Kind of existed. Kind of didn't. Still makes me scratch my head.

And you know what? That's perfectly okay. Rick and Morty is all about the absurd. It's about questioning everything. It is also about waiting for new episodes.

Maybe the real episode 11 was the friends we made along the way... Nah, just kidding. Give us the episode!

We can only hope season 6 makes up for it. In the meantime, I'll just be over here, re-watching "Pickle Rick" for the thousandth time. Because, you know, therapy is expensive.
