Rick and Morty S7 Ep. 10: Fear No Mort

(A bittersweet end to a great season)

If you are not ready to conquer your fear of spoilers, go no further…

My Favs

Diane!

Overall, I’m pleased with how the writers handled the character of Diane and Rick’s interaction with her. They don’t portray either Diane or their marriage as flawless. There is definitely a bite to her personality and we see them have conflict like any married couple but there is still a lot of love and affection there, assuming Morty’s version of the relationship is accurate. It is certainly open to interpretation. In my mind, the only thing that was inaccurate is Diane’s disdain for her grandson. In actuality, I think she would have loved Morty to death and have absolutely spoiled him rotten as a grandmother should.

I also love that the writers confirmed that she was a scientist or was on the path to become one. She was definitely some sort of biologist, maybe a zoologist or a ornithologist. I don’t know about you but my heart went pitter-patter when Rick said her master’s thesis inspired him to create a ray to hear duck’s talk.

Lastly, I’d like to say that while I thought we might have somehow had the real Rick interact with the real Diane through some sort of sci-fi resurrection or afterlife break-in, I’m ultimately glad this is the work around the writers came up with. Anything else would have cheapened Diane’s death and Rick’s grief.

Rod Serling/Twilight Zone homage

Confession time. I’ve never seen the original Twilight Zone or the reboot, but I’m aware of the premise of the show and how it ties with this episode. I know I’m missing out and it’s on my list of shows to watch. Sometimes, I wish I could get a Night Person to watch all the television shows I don’t have time for in my waking hours.

Tide and Time

Really enjoy the newest Ryan Elder song. He is incredibly skilled at finding or creating the perfect soundtrack to convey the emotion we need for a particular episode.

Morty’s fear of relying on Rick

I will expound on this further in “My Thoughts”

Rick choosing Morty

Not only does he do it once, but twice. Once in Morty’s fear simulation and once in the real world.

Not my Fav

Product Placement

I know capitalism has got to capitalism, but could we please leave ads for shitty restaurants out of my story of a grandfather and his grandson navigating the human condition in a infinite, nihilistic universe that is incapable of caring! Thanks.

Besides, the fear hole should have been at a Shoney’s

My Thoughts

Morty’s codependency, fear of change, and learning to not live for the dead but to live for the living.

Seasons 6 and 7 has seen a gradual shift from Rick being a drunk asshole who is incapable of creating any real attachments because there are infinite versions of everyone (except for the one person he most cares about) to someone who is less drunk, ever so slightly less of an asshole, but a little more willing to open his heart to the version of his family he has chosen to live with. Unmortricken closed the chapter on Rick’s life purpose of getting revenge on Rick Prime and now with Fear No Mort we see Rick resist the temptation of clinging to the past and choose the grandson living in the present. The finale doesn’t give us much to chew on in regards to what is in store next for Rick, but in some way, I think the show is taking a bit of a pause on Rick as it shifts to Morty.

As the twist reveals, this episode focused exclusively on Morty’s psyche and his recognition and fear of his codependency with Rick. I recommend if you haven’t, to rewatch the episode a second time with this knowledge in tow. What sticks out to me is the antagonist relationship he has with Diane. They never speak to or acknowledge each other. I don’t think she even makes eye contact with him and in the scene at the school play, Diane belittles him and delivers an ultimatum to Rick. Choose her or choose Morty. Maybe the show wants us to take this literally, and it is really Diane he resents and that Rick will never choose the family in the present. Rick will never choose Morty. In my mind, I have a more metaphorical interpretation. I think Diane is symbolic of a future Rick that is, at last, happy and mentally healthy. Morty fears that if Rick gets better he will need his grandson less and that scares the shit out of him. He can’t imagine a life without Rick by his side, even envisioning a future where Rick follows him into adulthood, de-aging himself so he’s around forever. Both interpretations work and they both reveal the incredibly unhealthy mindset that Morty harbors.

We see a sort of ships passing in the night as Morty accepts that Rick will never see him as irreplaceable and he should just rely on himself at the same time Rick is finally ready to claim this Morty and only this Morty as his grandson and a legitimate part of his family on equal footing as Diane and Beth C-137.

The finale doesn’t give us much insight into what we might focus on in season 8, but I suspect it might be more Morty-focused. We have seen Morty start to develop some independence in the past, but it would be nice to see Morty develop an identity outside of Rick while also learning that Rick truly sees him as part of his family.

Also, the boy desperately needs some friends his age.

I hate when people boil down Rick's character to Pickle Rick, or just this badass guy whos godly when the whole point of this it's THAT ITS A FACADE!!! The whole point of his character is how deceiving a person can be as soon as you start to REALLY know them.

Throughout the 7 season we have seen Rick go from a badass scientist with a god complex, to a deeply flawed individual who just misses his family and longs for some sort of closeness but unable to connect to anyone anymore due to his dysfunction.

I find it ironic that there are still so many people that associate Rick with the early seasons, when that's not who he is anymore.

He's changed, people!! Get that through your head!!

Is Prime's arc really over?

I mean, he's dead alright, no doubt in that, and tbh I sort of hope that he will not be brought back to life. But. BUT.

This is a long ass rant. If you open it, it's on you.

Even in the last confrontation between Prime and C-137 we didn't really get any solid confirmations of Prime and C-137 origin story. We know they've met, we know Prime showed C-137 "infinity" (in his own words) and killed C-137's family, which resulted into C-137 trying to hunt him down, but except those facts confirmed and explained in s6ep1, s7ep3, s7ep5, nothing else was. Not the real meaning of their conversation in the garage, not even the fact of this garage meet-up being the first time they've met, and also not the meaning of Prime's words that he misses it when there were only two of them.

Both Mortys seem to buy everything Evil Morty extracted from C-137's memories (Evil Morty is confident in his tech and Prime Morty is just like that lol), but can we really trust that those memories are intact? What if, just like with Federation, Rick kept main points of events, but changed the details or timeline, that can potentially flip the meaning or change the tone of said events?

The most confusing part in relation to the timeline for me is Prime's slips during his rants: "I do miss when it was just us. The only two Rick's who actually invented portal travel", especially combined with "I showed you infinity".

It makes sense in two possible situations: if Prime showed C-137 the portal tech ("showed you infinity"), offered it, was rejected, left, killed his family and then was actively fucking with C-137 during the first hunt (which can explain the "miss when it was just us" line) OR if Prime showed him the portal tech, C-137, being inspired, also invented the portal travel, and then he and Prime were on friendly terms for some time after that, travelling together or each on their own with random meet-ups, until Prime offered him something else, which C-137 declined. Then everything else followed.

And honestly? IMO, first option doesn't line up. We never saw clones or decoys of Prime during C-137's first hunt in the crybaby backstory, no mocking images of Diane, nothing that could possibly indicate that Prime was actively playing with him. We also see other Ricks owning portal technology during young C-137's run, so there already weren't "just two of us", only in the very beginning maybe. Prime obviously watched C-137 to keep track on him and his whereabouts and shenanigans, but we don't see him making any moves himself, interacting with C-137 in any way. So what's there to miss at all?

Let's look at the second option. What's really interesting about it is how Prime's words "I showed you infinity" can be interpreted in two ways that are not mutually exclusive - as in showing interdimensional travel or showing something entirely else, possibly even bigger. Like something that was supposed to create "Infinite Rick, a GOD", which was mentioned in the 'falce' memory in 03x01 together with another interesting line: "Once we give you this technology, you become the smartest man in the universe". Since we know that Rick uses his own memories to fool people, it's entirely possible that these lines are real, they sound real, like something Prime could say. But.

But how simply owning a technology makes you the smartest man in the universe? The answer is - it doesn't. You just own it. You don't become smarter because you get your hands on a sci-fi tech, unless it alters your own mind/brain to make you smarter, and portal travel doesn't work like that.

This is just a theory based on the altered memory of Rick C-137, but what if Rick Prime wasn't just giving out portal tech, but was actively doing almost the same thing Evil Morty have done - absorbing every possible knowledge of every Rick he encountered, maybe connecting them in some kind of a web instead of killing them, so he could cover his presence not using a Morty, but creating virtual clones of himself everywhere in all those Ricks? Maybe that's what he was tempting C-137 with - infinite knowledge of infinite Rick. Unite every single one of them, make them bigger than the universe, make them THE GOD in every sense possible.

Only that it can cost you everything. Cost you your humanity. Change you ultimately, make you so much above any other being, that it will eventually sound lonely. So Rick C-137 declined.

It's just a random ass theory. But how does it sound?

I like that even though Rick has consumed all sorts of media across the multiverse, he’s not above liking TV, music, and movies from earth. I like this 70-year-old man listens to modern rap music and watches dumb soap operas.

I AM SO GLAD THEY SHOWED RICK’S PORTAL CLOSING ON ITS OWN HAHA

I don’t think they’ve ever done that before!! I love when they add onto the existing portal logic with new fine details such as these :D I have always loved that stuff. That one scene from S2E2 has fascinated me forever

I counted it and on my end, Rick’s portal stayed open for 15 seconds total!

….THATS SO COOL !!! It’s a number that convinces me the portals were specifically programed to stay open for only 15 seconds if an expected interaction with the portal doesn’t happen in time!

Now about Dan Harmon saying that Prime was the first Rick to truly invent/perfect inter-dimensional portal travel….

So, we have not seen any images from this episode and the next in the trailer, which makes me think the next two episodes are going to be lore heavy. I wonder if with episode 9 they're going to do a take on the Robin Williams film, What Dreams May Come. That's my prediction anyways.

Edit: I say this because if Rick's wife ended up in a similar scenario to that Williams' character's wife, then Rick would get that motivation he needs to get him out of his funk and continue his work.

I don't usually use tumblr all that much, but for the last few days i've been going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole that is analyzing S7E3 of Rick and Morty, so yo girl's here to talk about it (mostly about Rick and Unity).

In S7E3 of Rick and Morty 'Air Force Wong' Unity assimilates the entire state of Virginia with the argument that it is worried for Rick's well being.

however, what pissed me off is when Dr.Wong sided with Unity: "Alright, I'm gonna commit a cardinal sin in couple's therapy here, but Rick, i think you're wrong." I do not understand this in the slightest. Sure, Rick ghosted Unity, but in his defense, he was dumped which took a toll on him, leading up to him attempting suicide, so of course he wouldn't want it around him, and that's understandable.

Unity broke a boundary, invaded Rick's home planet, home country with the only excuse that it was worried for him. Rick had every right to stop talking to it, however Dr.Wong did NOT have the whole story and she shouldn't have butted in. This we could partially blame Rick, because he did not fill Dr.Wong in fully before having that conversation, which HE requested for her to be a part of in the first place.

"You controlling things is the explanation, and we agreed you wouldn't do it where i work." This is yet another solid proof on how Unity broke Rick's boundaries, this probably being something they agreed on in the past. In some situations, boundaries CAN be broken if it's an intervention or emergency, this, in my humble opinion, WAS NOT an emergency.

"You had an outer space lady who was worried for your life and your response was hostile enough to cause a huge problem." I hate everything about this. This is borderline hypocritical, considering that Unity did something just as drastic if not MORE drastic, yet Rick is the one taking all the flame for it, for not wanting it around him. So, basically, he was being flamed for putting up a boundary (not in a very appropriate way, but it's a big deal for him to do it in the first place). Unity is at fault for making Rick react the way he did, which in my opinion, wasn't as drastic as Dr.Wong makes it out to be. His hostile reaction was understandable, to the drastic measure Unity has enforced. It did not need to go through all that trouble just to try to contact Rick, when clearly he did not want want it to.

Another thing i noticed is when Unity finished releasing everyone, how the tables have turned from:

u:"Do you not trust me, Rick?" r:"I don't trust you."

to..

r:"I trust you now." u:"That's nice, but i don't trust you."

This is honestly something i only noticed as i was writing this, and it hits HARD. As much as Unity is biased for not trusting Rick, so was he when he didn't trust it. They both have very valid points as to why not to trust one another.

So, to conclude this very first, EXTREMELY MESSY post, Unity should've dialed it back a couple of notches, Rick should've been more open about his part with it, and Wong should've stayed in her place. Both Rick and Unity have a lot of things to unpack, and until either of them are willing to sit down and talk, they'll never be able to work it out.

Thank you for humoring me :D

Rick C-137 timeline (+lil piece of theory in the end)

Recently I was thinking about Rick C-137 and Rick Prime's differences and similarities, and tried to tie everything that we know for sure about Rick C-137 into a linear timeline. I decided to pick points that have at least two confirmations to avoid misleads, especially since we can't fully rely on memories being intact and truthful, so that's what I have left:

• Rick C-137 meets Rick Prime (memories from s3ep1 and s5ep10, confirmed by the garage hologram in s6ep1)

• Rick Prime offers Rick C-137 something while holding a portal gun and Rick C-137 refuses the offer (memories from s3ep1 and s5ep10, the event itself was cofirmed by the garage hologram in s6ep1, but the full conversation wasn't)

• C-137 Diane and Beth are killed (memories from s3ep1, s5ep8, s5ep10, the event is confirmed by garage AI in s6ep1 and Rick himself in s6ep1, s5ep8)

• Rick C-137 meets Birdperson and Squanchy, forms a band, starts a rebellion against Federation, offers Birdperson an iterdimensional travel, first time openly expresses his infamous 'nothing matters' mindset and his opinion on dimensions being replaceable, but nonetheless admits that a certain version of a person still matters, gets rejected by Birdperson and leaves (s2ep6, s2ep10, Birdperson memories in s5ep8, Rick's memories in s5ep10)

• All Dianes are killed across infinity, which is confirmed by s7ep5. EXACT TIMING AND POSITION ON THE TIMELINE IS UNKOWN, but Beth Prime was old enough to not be sent to a foster family

• Rick C-137 meets baby Morty (memories in s1ep10, but later confirmed by a photo in s2ep5)

After this we have a time gap until Rick arrives to the Prime dimension, and then we basically follow Rick around, so there is no need to pinpoint everything, I'll just cover the basics

• Rick C-137 comes to Beth's Prime home when she's grown up and has kids (still unknown how long he has been there at the start of the s1ep1, at least a few months 'cause he already made Morty miss an entire semester of school, but not long enough to form any bonds with anyone in the family except Morty)

• Rick C-137 and Prime Morty switch dimensions for the first time, Rick never comes back for the rest of Prime family, Rick expresses his views on multiverse, dimensions hopping and everyone being replaceable (s1ep6)

• Evil Morty hacks Rick C-137 gun, sets him up, captures him and takes his memories (s1ep10) // by the way, I doubt that you can hack one's portal gun from a different dimension, so... But let's leave it at that

• Birdperson is "killed", Earth is invaded, but Rick doesn't immediately switch dimensions (s2ep10)

• Federation and Citadel are destroyed (s3ep1)

• Citadel is restored, Evil Morty gets elected as the President (s3ep7)

• Central Finite Curve is destroyed, all Rick's origin revealed to Morty via memory forcefully extracted by Evil Morty (s5ep10)

• Everybody get sent to their home dimension, Beth gets a confirmation by Summer that Rick C-137 and Morty Prime are not her original father and son, Morty Prime openly disowns Rick Prime, Rick C-137 stops his hunt for Prime to get back to the family with Morty Prime, family reunites and switches dimensions together (s6ep1)

• Rick claims that he starts to hunt for Rick Prime again and during his rant says something quite peculiar: "That's what happens when you let people in and they stop respecting you. They touch your shit, they screw things up, they kill your fucking family" (s6ep10) //uh oh, seems someone put their trust in a wrong Rick

• Prime Hunt ends with his murder and Evil Morty getting his hands on the Omega device (s7ep5).

If you have anything to add or correct, feel free to do so.

Also I'd love to read some theories on any questionable points of this timeline, especially on the timing of Diane's death.

My guess is that after Rick got rejected by BP, he went downhill and eventually ended in Prime dimension around the time Morty was a baby. In attempt to spite Rick Prime or bait him, and maybe trying to fully accept nihilistic views on the concept of multiverse and it's inhabitants that were forced on him, Rick tried to reconnect with Diane Prime, and, eventually, Beth. Rick Prime got pissed that C-137 touched his shit and tried to play home again, so he kidnapped both Rick and Diane, and then used Diane Prime to run the Omega device. Then he probably wiped Beth and Jerry's memories of Rick C-137 ever coming back, just to rub it in.

I don’t even know how to feel about all of this. I use Rick and Morty when I’m sad— I watch it all the damn time and I’ve rewatched over and over. I absolutely love the show even if there’s some questionable/weird shit sometimes that I don’t love sprinkled in. That said, I don’t support J*stin or D*n. R&M is like a coping thing for me. It’s like a little security blanket and it feels awful to know some of the things that the creators have done. I’m sure you all know that R&M has been a hyper fixation for me since like season 1 and I don’t think I’ll stop liking it— I guess it just depends if I can watch it without thinking about J*stin voicing them. Not all men suck but a majority of them do, that’s what I’ve been finding out. Not saying that women can’t be abusers either, cause they totally can. Anyone can— and there are shitty people everywhere. It just sucks to know that something you love to watch and just think about because it’s silly and goofy has people like that behind it. :( I’m crushed fr. Gonna try and find the show on dvd at a secondhand store so I can rewatch without feeling bad. Also— everyone is allowed to have their own opinion on how to proceed from here, just know that I don’t support people like that.

Re-watching The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy episode of Rick and Morty and thinking about all the possibilities for attractions you could have under an immortality field. If the proprietor was smart, he'd milk every sin and indulgence.

Binge eating (gluttony)? Check.

Violence (wrath)? Check.

Dangerous rides (vanity/pride)? Check.

But what about...

Drugs: Hell yes. Or wait, can you still develop a chemical addiction in the immortality field?

Animals: If the owner wanted to make even more money, he could run a zoo or aquarium and sell so many more experiences. Eating an endangered animal, selling endangered animals, allowing customers to hunt endangered animals, allowing customers to experience being eaten by an endangered animal.

Death Scenarios: Indulging in various death scenarios just to know what it would feel like? It wasn't clear to me whether it hurt when Rick was stabbed through the chest in this episode, so this one might not be as viable.

Other uses of the immortality field could include:

Hunting or being hunted for fun?

Open a for-profit hospital slash hospice?

Lease out some extra space for government interrogations?

The possibilities are unlimited! It might be cool for the comics to explore this place a little bit more. Maybe Rick purposely told the immortality resort proprietor that the field could only be built so big so that Rick could make enough money to fund his personal entertainment while not having to worry about dealing with any liability or responsibility associated with maintaining a larger field.
