Bethic Twinstinct

It's just awkward and weird the whole time I don't how to explain it I just didn't really like it that much buts it was an ok episode overall but the whole awkwardness feeling during the parts with Beth and space Beth were just weird and it didn't really as much of anything to the main plot I know this was just a fun episode probably but I hate all the incest in Rick and morty it's not funny it's just disgusting, weird and just frankly straight up annoying I've been rewatching Rick and morty and I'm at this episode probably my least favorite so far I will see maybe some of season 7 will be worse.

I won't say much because I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll simply say this:

Those calling this a new "incest" episode, or calling Beth a weak character... you're missing the point. This is Rick and Morty, it's supposed to make you feel awkward. (Drunken grandpa kidnaps grandson to blow up the world with a neutrino bomb and then collapses, first episode, hello?) And Beth is at the core of Rick's dynamics, if you don't get that by now, you haven't understood the show's family relationships approach yet.

This is sci-fi's moral dilemmas at it's best: like Splice (2009, which I loved) or Predestination (2015, which I guess it's OK) the possible repercussions of these types of interactions are quite complicated, even "sick and twisted".

The writing here is superb, and like other users said, I literally laughed out loud with this episode: it's like I watched this episode half of the time with my mouth covered with my hand in dismay, and the other half just bursting in laughter.

For me, one of the best episodes. So much character development, so much depth here and yet so hilariously (and awkwardly) fun.

It's baffling why this episode received a surge of criticism from viewers. Perhaps the unusual storyline or the intense self-reflective nature of the plot may have been off-putting to some. Yet, true "Rick and Morty" fans will recognize that the series thrives on this disruptive approach.

In the ever-expansive multiverse of "Rick and Morty", creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have been notorious for shattering boundaries, merging humor with raw, introspective human experiences.

Despite the unusual plotline, true "Rick and Morty" fans are no strangers to such disruptive narratives. This episode merely strengthens the series' commitment to testing the boundaries of storytelling. The dialogue is cleverly infused with quintessential "Rick and Morty" humor, ensuring the storyline doesn't become too heavy or self-indulgent.

In my perspective, the hate is misplaced. The episode is innovative, probing deeper into Beth's character. It's bold, it's daring, and despite the criticism, I dare to say that 'Bethic Twinstinct' ranks among the best "Rick and Morty" episodes.

Most of viewers look for gun shooting laser blasting star wars whatever in rick and morty. All the infinite ricks, some are cooler than rick but no one is cooler than rick because he is the rickest rick just by being himself. This episode is the rickest rick, this is what's all about. Few other episodes/shows can say so much with so little. Seasons 4 and 5 felt like they were forced, had no essence and there was little hope for season 6. The first two episodes in season 6 were more than expected, but this 3rd one encapsulated the show's quintessence like very few others. Great job from the creators.

Update: Rewatching this after restarting the entire series still has the same effect. Made me laugh as hell and I stand by the first review. It is one of the best episodes for me and I'm glad I saw it the same the second time.

The moment I saw may-be-a-clone Beth in season 4, I knew the events of this episode will eventually take place. Beth is too much of a narcissist, and Jerry too much of a perverted doormat, for this not to happen. But that does not stop it from being hilarious. It is the hallmark of great writing where even the most absurd plotlines actually make sense for the characters and world.

It has been a while since I laughed out loudly at a Rick & Morty episode. That changed today.

The mocking of "realism" in videogames is also on point. And there were quite few callbacks to beloved episodes of the past. This season keeps going strong.
