Of all the misused and squandered technology on this show a machine that can instantly create fully-formed sentient life from people's thoughts has definitely have to be the greatest. Especially since its own creations can be hooked up to it and create a recursive feedback loop, you could be creating omnipotent god-beings or perfect leaders and workers or infinitely productive and efficient cattle with just a few moments of effort.

It's a good thing the monster-beth didn't know about the meeseeks box. An endless supply of completely subservient unkillable clones

Jerry hosed up by quitting and making it impossible for them to finish. I think if you said "take over this planet for me" they'd have a consistent goal to work towards so they'd stay on task. They'd be a lot less useful when it came to actually occupying something.

Oh boy, I can't wait for another multi-paragraph post about an underage female character who's had a single-digit number of lines. There have easily been more of these posts than minutes of screentime for Jessica.

To add my 2 cents to pissing off people, who can't afford to read a few lines, or just skip this whole post, on Jessica... Right now I'd say they're giving her the 'correct' (yes, as defined by myself) level of attention, if one were to go from Morty's perspective. Most crushes IRL tend to go like his experience with her - whenever she enters his mind, she seems so important at the time...but then other far more critical poo poo goes down so that nothing much happens with her (even if they might wind up having sex eventually in season 8 episode 10 or whatevs) and later in life, when one gets perspective, one eventually sees it more as adolescent lust than love and not that important, really. So I'm fine with Jessica remaining his crush, but never being given much character definition or evolution, other than what she is right now plot-wise (i.e. an occasional reason to distract Morty from the central story, and make him drop the ball). Sure, they could try to do something with her character...but if they do, they'd wind up walking a tightrope between subverting/mocking the 'high-school romance' cliches and tropes and jumping the shark by having R&M devolve into becoming that kind of writing. Still, given Dan Harmon's legendary bile about romance ever being this central to writing, I doubt this will ever happen lol.

Agreed but I don't know if it'll take them until S8 to get that far, just because I don't see them doing the whole trope of unrequited teen love or will-they-won't they poo poo for that long. I think Morty's growing at a fast enough rate that he'll move on or something, and that might mean Jessica will be written out soonish, or her role in the story will change, or she'll just become a background character or something maybe. What's this about Dan Harmon being super obsessed with romance though? I thought he hated rom com stuff.

And yea, he hates (why I said 'bile') rom com stuff but the reasons he has for that are tied to writing and essentially: "Romance is just a seasoning on a dish and if any writing is ever mainly about romance it must necessarily suck."

Applewhite posted:I'm interested in seeing how the alien couples therapy was supposed to work. I imagine after they watch how their mythologues don't work together, they would proceed onto the actual therapy portion- to try to see their partners as people, not the trumped up monsters they imagine them to be. As the session goes on, maybe they would scan their brains again and see how their mythologues change toward each other. Once the mythologues turn out looking like the real thing, then the therapy would essentially be over. We essentially see this with Beth, though at an accelerated(and highly variable) rate.

Then they incinerate the original couple and let the idealised mythologues take their place.

A story about a relationship must mean the couple is unhappy (a story needs conflict) and that it's one of the couple's fault (because if it's an external problem then the story is actually about dealing with that, not the relationship). Which almost always means someone cheated, and they'll either work it out or not. Harmonsay.

There's couples therapy where you whack each other with foam baseball bats to get some primal aggression out. This is the same thing but using whipping boys conjured out of your deepest psyche who fight to the death.

how else would they have a 100% success rate? Also I wonder if there was a screening process that Jerry and Beth didn't go through, I get the feeling that co-dependent couples have gone through the clinic before and not had good results so the clinic screen certain couples to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the clinic.
