Bethic Twinstinct

...Where is the main story stuff? We've had this formula of 8 episodes of random plots storylines and maybe 1 or if we're lucky the 2 final episodes dedicated to the overarching story of the whole show, but isn't it time that after 6 bloody seasons, we finally get a season with more episodes about the actual story I'm sure most of the people still watching care about? Not even a post-credit scene for it?

This week's post-credit scene was really funny and I ain't mad at it at all. But at least mention the main storyline once in a while, because there are only 7 episodes left and I'm afraid we're not gonna get Rick Prime stuff until like maybe episode 8 or 7.

Not to mention the plot of this episode wasn't that big enough to warrant an entire episode dedicated to it and it could've been plot A of this episode and they could've added another storyline for plot B. As funny as this episode was, it really needed another plot line.

I guess most episodes of the show have only one plot, but their plot actually does need the whole episode dedicated to it or even sometimes more episodes. But this episode's was so simple that the first 10 minutes was enough for it and they could've done something else next to it. Thought I still think the final thanksgiving table scene was the funniest scene of the season so far.

Again, I have no problem with episodes having their own contained plot lines that won't come back later, but it's been 6 seasons, maybe it's time we see the actual main story once in a while every couple of episodes?

I feel like writers shoot themselves in the foot by introducing a main overarching plot and they can't really go back to only making "Adventures of Rick and Morty", so now they're reluctant to give us an actual storyline that covers the whole season instead of having an anthology season, as we saw them with season 5 saying "haha you dumb for wanting the main story, have these mediocre episodes with plots no one cares about".

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.

Enjoyable fun awkward R&M episode without crazy actions and killing and portal guns and Evil/Prime Morty/Rick.

I really missed this vibe from the first few seasons when everything started slowly and smoothly from the house, it had been a long time.

In recent episodes and seasons, there were lots of actions and violence like Morty going crazy killing everyone in Planetina episode, death crystal episode or his mortal fight with the portal guy in last season; or Summer doing a die-hard or killing a bunch of monsters in the first two episodes of this season; or Beths killing some creators/people. I mean, we had enough of every one of the family being badass and killing actions, at least for me.

Therefore, this episode completely fits with its dark jokes; I know, it might get creepy and tbh, it gets; but, isn't that the point?

Another thing that I enjoyed in this episode was the part about the real game that they were playing. The consol looked cool and with the "real" game, we were expecting something crazy like interdimensional cable TV or Roy game, that they will be sucked into the game or trapped in the game, but the concept of a "real" game was a meta for the real life, when every real thing is boring.

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.

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.
