My guess is that Rick is going to decide that Beth without Jerry is too annoying and needy to deal with; so he's going to get them back together not because he cares about his daughters emotional well being, but rather because it's more convenient for him when she has a husband around to distract her.

Or maybe Jerry and Beth will just stay broken up, that works too.

There is another way things can go...

Seems like he'd have to break out the time travel stuff for that. Maybe that was his first project, time travel to get the sauce. That didn't work and everything else has been a spin off.

He does have that box labeled "time travel stuff" on his shelf. It's the one with a tentacle-eyeball thing sticking out of it.

Dan's never talked about his parents besides how he has a strained relationship, but this makes me wonder if Rick may have been somewhat inspired by them in a similar style.

He's talked about them a bit. They did some corporal punishment, which he had a huge chip on his shoulder about. His mom would see something on TV, like Roots, and then have a special conversation with Dan where she explained what racism was and why it was bad. Same thing for Holocaust denial. (That's why he wanted to create TV -- his mom listened to what was on the TV.) He kinda idolized his dad, and when his dad complimented him for creating Channel 101 and employing a bunch of people, he cried a whole bunch. (Or maybe he just cried when he was talking about it later.)

Also, he called his mom a "oval office" during a game of Catchphrase one time when he and Erin were visiting. (It had gotten very competitive.)

parallelodad posted:

Why do I see a lot of people say Morty is dumb or specifically retarded? He seems to be completely average and just not very good at school, but relatively street smart. People talk about him like he's Fry from Futurama.

He's very much like Fry. Remember how the genius waves from Rick's brain are cancelled out by the Morty waves, allowing him to be invisible to tracking devices? It's like how Fry's lack of the delta brainwave lets him get into the Infosphere, past the brains.

Ah yeah, now I remember. I sorta remember him not liking his parents that much, or otherwise putting across that vibe? I don't know if I should've brought it up really, it's a bit rude to talk about someone's parents and make assumptions I think.

He's been very angry at his parents about some things (the corporal punishment/"my parents hit me" thing), but it's also pretty clear he loves them, too. I think Britta's parents were based on Dan's like that -- he's mad about some things, they acknowledge they made some mistakes, but they're nice people and everybody can get along now that they're all older.

It would be really interesting to see Beth's reaction to the fact that not only is her real father dead, this iteration of Rick bailed on (presumably) his Beth and left her to a world of monsters.

I think the realization of that could drive her back to Jerry.

It's a shame that Cronenberg Rick and Cronenberg Morty couldn't hook up with the rest of the family.

I guess whatever it was isn't gonna happen now there's no auction, but I had an idea about what the other things that may or may not happen would be..

Basically looking at the way the show is with meta humor and stuff I thought that maybe McDonalds would bring back the sauce, but not as an endorsement of the new mulan movie or whatever, but as an endorsement of who ever won the auction, as though they had a movie or a popular show or whatever. There'd be commercials, happy meal toys of this poor confused rear end hole. the works. Get the Chuck Spencer meal! at participating restaurants, with the chuck spencer sauce and spencer mcnuggets! With Rick and Morty commenting over the top of the commercials like they were from a dimensional cable episode..sure there'd be a little rick and morty logo on everything somewhere but they would make it look so much like it was for Spencing it out! in cinema's this fall!

What if Richard Spencer won the auction?

The alien agent said the thing in the garage happened somewhere between 9/11 and Rick's favorite sports blooper.

So the fake memory was set even LATER than 1998, and thus even more impossible.

He just said it was between those two things in Rick's brain. I don't think chronological order was necessarily implied. :spergin:

Well I know that. I'm just saying that the implied implausible time scale of it supposedly happening after 9/11 when Beth is clearly at least in her 40's was even more hinting that the memory is impossibly bogus. The fact that shot never happens at all is even more of an indicator.

Of course, I'm seeing a lot of people who WANT Rick's clichely tragic backstory to be real.

I don't think Beth can be in her 40s, because she had Summer at the end of high school, so she'd be less than 20. And Summer's still in high school, so another under-20.

There can't be infinite Ricks.

In the episode where they Cronenburg up the whole world and escape to the dimension where they just died, Rick says that there's only like 3 or 4 of these "freebies" left. If there were infinite Ricks, there would be infinite dimensions for "freebies."

He's not saying that there are a finite number of Ricks; he's saying that the audience for the show will only go along with this kind of swerve a few more times.

I kinda thought the show was 60/40 Roiland's.

All I know is what I hear on Harmontown, so I'm sure I'm wrong. But Dan once said he's essentially like the head writer on the show (as opposed to a normal showrunner, I guess), and it definitely feels like they're his kinds of stories. I don't know much about Roiland, but I guess I had assumed he got the co-creator credit for the initial idea of "what if Doc Brown was a mean drunk, and Marty was his grandson". I think of him as voice talent, like Billy West on Futurama. (That is not intended as any kind of insult or put-down, just in case I gave that impression.)
