they're facing different directions in the tubes, it would be incredibly easy to tell which one was which. so much for the "smartest man in the universe"
>rewatch the scene
There needs to be a "watch" before I can "re-watch." I can tell time on my phone, anyway...
I'm just saying, if he "shell-gamed" their tubes, that means motion, which means whatever's in the tubes also moved.

Not the guy you are arguing with, and I'm not a Scientist or even educated on physics, but how are they suspended perfectly in the centre of the tubes?
He could also ignore it if he really didn't want to think about it. But then he REALLY couldn't think about it, and scrubbed his mind of it so he could lead himself to believe in the mythos of himself.
That's when he watches it, he realizes how much of a piece of shit he was, and it resolves him to try and fix Birdperson for his mistakes. Of course, then he fricks up about telling Birdperson about his child and that wedges an issue, but it also tempers his initial attempt to exorcise the renegade memory sliver that lives in Rick's brain. In a way though, that sliver is essentially a moral compass for Rick, a vision of his non-cynical past, viewed from a ideal perspective of a friend; he's a living breathing commentary of what was, Rick built himself a conscience.
So I fully expect us to never see this thing until the end of Season 6 where Rick kills him.
Why is Beth even allowing him to stay at her house? She kicked Jerry out for asking her to pick between him and her father who ironically is using her, endangering her kids, and pulling the "infinite daughter" every time to win an argument.
This scene literally makes no sense at all. I don't know if the writers think they are clever or something but it makes no sense. If there is a second Beth that means the one in the house is a clone. Their solution makes zero sense. Plus not knowing who is and isn't a clone is kind of confusing in a show with already a weird grip on reality. With all the malty verses and Mr poopy but hole. Like wondering, if he is real or a parasite and shit.
I don't know it kind of makes it feel like nothing in the show matters which I guess works on the whole nihilist themes. But if nothing matters why should I watch? The big reveal where they just stole a (spoilers) Matt Patt idea and the incest baby. It's like who cares about the lore at this point? It's just sci-fi family guy at this point except there peter is in god mode and therefore ruins all possible tension.
When aired, the implication was that Rick is such a frick up that rather than make the provbial hard decision for Beth, he pussied out and did a shell game thing to absolve himself from having to put his money where his mouth was and allow Beth to leave her kids like left her.
BUT the season five finale completely changes the context of the scene with the revelation that the council of ricks have been using mind control and worse to force Beth's and Jerry's to fall in love and for Beth to get knocked up as a teen with Summer, purely to ensure they inevitably produce a Morty. Which makes Rick doing the shell game thing with Beth and her clone less Rick not wanting to make a hard decision and more him explicitly leaving Beth's future to chance after manipulating her entire life by forcing her to marry a man Rick despises and having a sociopath of a daughter, purely to create Morty as the closest thing to a good father move he could do given his secret he was keeping from Beth
But it doesn't matter
I stopped watching after season 2, what's the context?
Rick cloned Beth, had the original and the clone shell gamed in the tubes till he couldn't know which was the original.

Nitpicky

>what is inertia?
I think it's more that he doesn't care.

He could also build a time window to look into the past or any other science gizmo but plot gonna plot I guess
what the frick about not wanting to deal with problems do you not get?
guy literally wiped his brain about it
It's something a Rick-like personality would do
Why is Beth even allowing him to stay at her house? She kicked Jerry out for asking her to pick between him and her father who ironically is using her, endangering her kids, and pulling the "infinite daughter" every time to win an argument.
what part of abusive relationship, daddy issues and familial trauma you don't understand?
She's fricked up and choosing to hurt her family for a parody of the father-daughter relationship she always wanted.
Imagine being able to look at your daughter's bare vegana whenever you want.
are you 12
Think Bart is like 9 or 10
and stays at the same level of intelligence for 50 years, just like you
Yes a super genius at birth and it can't get much smarter than that

this show would have been so much better if morty just lived with rick and there wasn't the family drama to deal with
