KoRMaK posted:I like when morty revealed the secret and you could see rick was caught off guard but then started taking credit for it and being a dick. I loved the hobo memory because it's such a great little demonstration of how selfish Jerry is. Beth is carrying two big bags full of groceries while he's just carrying a single carton of eggs, and Jerry doesn't warn Beth about the guy until AFTER he locks himself safely in the car.

I always wondered why the parasites changed Rick's memory of writing 6 on the wall but not his memory of why he erected the blast shields. If they'd been clever enough I'm sure they coulda made him lower them that way.

It was pretty clear they weren't the cleverest things in the universe, just clever enough to keep propagating.

This is amazing work. As a student of history I can say that I’ve seen hundreds of pictures like this, and have shown little to no emotion. The pictures were just windows to a past I’ve never lived in, people who I never knew or would ever know. But this picture made me stop and evaluate. Putting Mr. Poopy Butthole in made me actually look at what is really happening. Putting something that everyone is familiar with in a situation that no one knows, and to make people feel those emotions well, that takes amazing talent. Thank you.

Everyone disappearing Blackchamber posted:Dr Crusher was caught in a static warp bubble and only she could remember the other crew members that were disappearing, even when the computer could not. The Dr Crusher episode was Remember Me, and follows that plot. It's a really good episode. "Computer, define the universe." "The universe is a spheroid region approximately 700 meters in diameter." The other episode being referred to was Conundrum. The Enterprise encounters a ship which fires some kind of energy pulse or something that knocks everyone unconscious. When the crew wakes up, the alien ship is gone, nobody can remember who they are or what they're doing, and there's a new face on board. When they get the computer back online, it tells them that they've been in a brutal war with It's not quite the same level, since the audience is pretty well clued in from the beginning that MacDuff doesn't belong there, but it's kinda close. I can't say about the Buffy episode mentioned as I haven't watched Buffy.

No Luck Needed posted:I noticed in the intro that Mr. Poopy Butthole was added, along with the butler. I would assume that those happy memories are of the Butler and that Mr. Poopy Butthole was added to further the illusion that everything changing is correct. What holy poo poo you noticed that? That's crazy it was such a tiny minor detail that must have gone unnoticed by so many people until you posted about it in this thread! I see this episode in such a different light now that you've told us about this insane joke we all missed

Something about Rick's character that I never really noticed before the blast shields went up is that, unlike many other "mad scientist" archetypes upon whom Rick is based, Rick doesn't plaster a custom logo all over his creations. Usually his inventions are very improvisational, so the idea that they might have a logo never occurs. The blast shields on the other hand are one of the most polished prices of technology we see Rick wield, and the type of thing a typical mad scientist would stamp his logo all over Rick has many, many flaws but vainglory is (perhaps tellingly) not among them.

You are assuming, of course, that Rick made those. Maybe he just paid to have them installed by some alien.

So I dunno if this has been brought up, and there is probably evidence against it, but has it ever been suggested that Beth is one of Rick's former traveling buddies? It would be part of why she is pretty okay with him taking Morty around, cause she knows that he will keep Morty safe, or possibly became a jaded herself. It could also be why he split up with her mom, because she became worried and things just fell apart.

I think it's heavily implied that he was an absent father who only recently has been staying with Smith family because of his age.

Thematically he is an absent father that was never even there where she was growing up. Knowing this show there feels like roughly zero percent chance we will get to the end of the last episode and have beth not end up in part of some unimaginably awful twist where she is a robot or dead or never existed or some other high concept rigamaroll

ElCondemn posted:I think it's heavily implied that he was an absent father who only recently has been staying with Smith family because of his age. Well, not so much implied as directly stated. We know that by Season 1, he'd been back in her life for one year after 20 years (IIRC) out of it. Given the fact that Summer is a teenager and Beth's pregnancy with Summer was the impetus for Beth's and Jerry's marriage, it's safe to say that Rick was out of her life from at least the time that she was a teenager. Perhaps around Morty's age, in fact. Whether or not he was generally an absentee father before he officially left hasn't been dealt with much, if at all. But, what Beth said to Rick when asking him to refrain from building lairs under the house makes me think that maybe her mom had had a similar discussion with him at some point that caused him to leave. I think the main reasons she lets Rick take Morty everywhere are 1) she does know he's a genius, and 2) she doesn't want to upset him because he might leave again. I mean, for whatever reason, she really wants him in her life. She was even making excuses for him when she discovered his secret subterranean lair and the alien monster held captive within. A reasonable person would start eviction proceedings. She simply assumed Rick was trying to cure his space AIDS. (Which he was, but that's beside the point.)

This was answered in the first episode, Morty isn't very smart, hanging out with Rick makes him smart as long as there are large seeds inserted. Beth and Jerry both think Morty is a genuis, Rick gets to continue to live at the house and use Morty... err take him on trips.

The whole "The parasites can only create good memories" realization was really smart of Morty, so much so that it didn't even occur to Rick, I wonder what the deal is with that. If it's development that he's getting sharper or just another of the off-beat characteristics of the potentially-different-universe-smith-family. (His dad being gay/bi, mom being a raging alcoholic, Morty being smarter, Summer being...into raves? idk).

I don't think it's unreasonable to think that Morty's adventures with Rick have left him more, not necessarily intelligent, but savvy.
