Or if there's any functional difference.

A comment Rick made that I found interesting was how he was berating Jerry for getting Beth pregnant because she "had options".
That would also conflict with the sentiment Rick noted in Season one that every Rick needs a Morty, and without Jerry knocking up Beth, there wouldn't be any Mortys.

He can still resent him for it regardless of whether it has consistently proven to be necessary.
Rick needs (needed?) a Morty to shield him from the galactic government.
If Beth had gone a different path, Rick may have done so as well.
He was one of the little customer support guys (and another character, I think)

I was confused by this as well, unless Rick was just lying to Morty about that to sentimentally manipulate him.
Either way, this was definitely the weakest episode so far and I liked the rest of the season.
It just felt so lazy. There were lots of quality zingers in there but they could have done so many interesting things with the immortality field and they just didn't.
For example, that ride was just your run-of-the-mill roller coaster. I thought for sure it was gonna be some crazy ride that ends up killing you dozens of times as you go around it because that's something Rick would actually be as excited about as he claimed to be.
The whole first half of the episode was so out of character for Rick that I felt like he was definitely just placating Jerry, but he wasn't.
I also feel like for all the development that could have happened with their relationship, they're right back where they were. Rick doesn't respect Jerry and Jerry still fears Rick and has done nothing to improve his relationship with his family.
It's just a total mulligan episode all around despite some funny insults, and an amazing concept was almost totally wasted.

Perhaps.
Not just the government. From any of his enemies who have their heads up their asses.
Perhaps.
In season 1, it was objectively proven that Mortys generate Morty brainwaves that shield Rick from detection.
The replacement Morty is given from the Council of Ricks, though, right? The Council of Ricks is no more as of episode 1 of this season.
It's pretty clear which of the intro scenes are jokes and which are from actual episodes. Like, in Season 1, the family surrounding someone giving birth, revealed to be Jerry is obviously a joke, while badass Jerry shooting monsters with a shotgun is from an episode. For this season, the "face on ass, ass on face" Morty watching porn scene is obviously a joke, while Rick talking to Morty about to be smashed by a piano key is from an episode.
The replacement Morty intro is probably just a joke because of the plumbuses in the foreground and just the absurdity of Rick not even caring and dropping him.
what options though? we see a timeline where she never had summer and shes a crazy birdperson surgeon. rick is mad but doesnt know who to direct his anger out on.

Maybe when morty transforms to evil morty he'll fix/use that timetravel stuff box and go do that season2 episode.

That was a great episode and what I would say is classic Rick & Morty.
Man Morty is showing himself to be smarter and vindictive.
Also you guys mentioning the "Every Rick needs a Morty". Not every Rick ends up with a Morty in their universe. Look at Doofus Rick.

That proves the point though. Ricks need Mortys so bad, that the council of Ricks gave Doofus Rick a Morty.
There's a store of Mortys in the intro. Rick tells Jerry he needs Morty to be emotionally stable to do his thing.

There might be a surplus from Ricks dying. Some Rick's might not need Morty's either, look at the guys working street selling jobs in the Citadel.
Man, that scene where the kid alien shoots his sister. I did not expect it to go there.

If Ricks want a better chance of sliding under the radar, they need a Morty.

lol you don't need to link the clip, that's what the conversation is about and any serious watcher would know that information.
I'm saying that some Rick's might not be ambitious. A Rick residing in the Citadel would be surrounded by an untold amount of Morty's.
Has anyone read the Rick and Morty comics? In the comics the Jerry in Doofus Rick's universe is super smart and is basically a Rick super predator. I would love to see them do that on the show, such a great concept for that universe.

Maybe. But Doofus Rick isn't ambitious like the other Ricks, and even he got a Morty.
He is also surrounded by an untold amount of Ricks, which would cancel that out.

They said that time travel is off limits.
Then the show will truly be Back to the Future.
If Rick could time travel, he could get Szechuan sauce whenever he liked. There'd be no conflict!
So after all the critical shit I said about last week's episode I gotta say this one in return was fantastic. Rick and Jerry's chemistry or the lack thereof did make this a very entertaining adventure and the mechanics introduced in the resort they were at led to some really interesting scenes like the one with the hand dryer, the kids playing and the whole fight scene.
The B-Plot was great too, characters actually showed more than one dimension in this episode and seeing the family bounce off eachother like in the older episodes was nice. The campfire scene in particular managed perfectly to be this great combination of bizarre, heartwarming and disgusting that Rick & Morty pulls off so well.
Overall this was some good shit, really looking forward to next week's episode.

The testicle looking time cop that Rick beats up was time traveling.

Maybe Evil Morty is with Doofus Rick.

Morty's got some Oedipus shit going on.
Yeah that was definitely past my line for dark humor.
He made his sister cry and feel super awful about herself/her body, a girl he supposedly loves. This is the super genius equivalent of beating the shit outta him.
Seconded
Doofus Rick has Eric Stoltz Mask Morty

I mean, the dome over the place malfunctioned, so when the kid alien sister died, a lot of other people probably died too.

This wasn't as bad as the Mad Max episode, but it wasn't very good.

I didnt get a chance to watch last nights episode cause I stayed way too long at a game of thrones watch party but tell me friends... was it ... good????
GAF has been pretty split on the episodes so far but it seems more people like this one than dislike.
Agreed, especially because the moment that the field turned off, my first thought was "damn, now that kid's gonna die" - actually showing it was unnecessary and cruel.

Great episode. It went pretty dark at times but still good. Morty is turning out to ruthless. Him and Summer are the stars of the show right now.
