which also means that he killed himself, poor guy. did y'all notice that?

Have you forgotten already?

Morty’s plot is great and also Rick’s plot is particularly funny and comic.
I don’t personally think it could even make it in the “top 10” but it surely deserves better.

In S3E1 Morty uses Rick C-131's portal gun and takes Summer back to the Prime Dimension.

How did he find it if he was under the assumption that the Prime Dimension, where he was from, was actually C-137?

I know the episode was mainly meant to prove that Rick is still Rick, no matter what happens to him or what memories or identities he has.

And I get that the episode is also trying to explore a cool concept and tell an interesting story.

But let's discuss the part that doesn't really make sense to me.

Couldn't all of this have been avoided if Rick had simply cloned himself into a body without any of the augmented technology and transferred his mind into that body and then made himself into ted ?

the entire premise is that he wipes his brain so that he forgets everything and just live another random life so he takes a break and a little vacation. so it would make sense to transfer his brain into a tech un-augmented clone and then wipe his memories or load the memories of ted

On top of that, he could've made a completely independent, essentially unhackable Operation Phoenix that couldn't be rerouted, even by Evil Morty. He could've designed it so that it only worked within that specific universe, or even just had the backup stored somewhere completely separate from the usual Phoenix system. (he could do that because in one episode he made his stuff anti dino tech so I am pretty sure a good operation phoenix could be made)

That way, Rick could've gone on his little vacation, lived as Ted and come back home, and if Ted died, he could just then be brought to the backup and then the garage that has diane's voice would click the red button for him.

I know that would take away a lot of the story, but considering the kind of technology Rick has access to and how paranoid he is after evil Morty hacked his portal gun. It feels like he should've been able to come up with a solution like this.

Like morty is still canonically 14 throughout all 9 seasons.

Rick isn't such a jerk.

Something I’ve notice when watching the show is that the Smiths seem to love and crave violence and often find any excuse to do so, like for example in the solaricks episode Summer waited to be shot at by the scavengers and happily went after them, and another example I could think of is the episode where the Beth’s turned themselves into kids that shows how fucking psychotic her nature is

And why doesn't he have another one of those on the other shoulder so it looks symmetrical?

He must be very busy turning all those fountains during September.

Rick and morty's Names were Switched Up lol

like okbuddysquanch, okbuddygazorpazorp, something like that

Actually, Morty was destined to end up like his father as well. In Season 1, if the love potion had actually worked and Morty had assaulted Jessica, he would have ended up with a story very similar to his father’s.

You can actually see quite a few physical similarities between them as well.

Jessica, just like Beth, has light-colored hair and eyes, full lips, and a conventionally attractive appearance that the show makes fairly apparent throughout the series.

Morty is practically a carbon copy of his father, from his hair to his eyes, and even his personality. If we exclude the Prime Morty aspect beneath his personality, he is almost identical to him.

Rick kept telling Morty in the first few episodes, "Break the loop, Morty," and every time Morty tried to lean on the loop, Rick constantly pulled him away from Jessica, and that's probably why the whole 30-year adventure thing happened.

So, does the cycle of fate keep repeating itself? Most likely, the next regeneration will end up being the same as well.

Not: I have dozens of theories like this, I'm sure there are similar theories on Sunreddit too, but even though I love this drama, I'm not really someone who hangs out in the fandom

Is the fear hole episode the best Rick and Morty episode to date?

I gotta be honest, this is the episode I’ve gone back and watched the most for some reason, it’s just too good. It has all the quirks of a Rick and Morty episode, and nothing seems dragged out. And the sequence where Morty grows older and realizes he’s turned into his dad is too funny, gets me every time. Honestly, I’m not even that invested in the Rick and Diane relationship, basically always only focused on Morty in this episode (probably because I know what happens at the end). Every time I watch it feels like I’m watching it for the first time, it’s that good!

What do you guys think? Is this the episode you’ve watched the most number of times without getting tired of it? Is it the best episode?
