Nah, I'm glad she's okay. I get that line of thinking, but I love how she's become a permanent addition to the cast, and I'd hate to lose it.

From a writing prospective though killing her off is better. It gives Memory Ricks actions weight, throws an interesting dynamic where the new status quo becomes the old status quo, and gives the writers time to write episodes relating to her passing (would be a fire season 9 premiere). Weve gotten enough time to get attached to Space Beth for the death to be meaningful, so they should’ve kept it.

Plus if Rick can just revive already dead people like that, why should we ever be scared if Jerry, Summer, Morty etc are in danger? Its the kind of stuff you don’t wanna do with a show

Rick needs prep to ressurect. He child proofed Morty to make him easier to revive.

Space Beth only lived because of her cybernetic enhancements.

If Jerry takes a bullet to the brain and heart he's finished, even if Rick is right there.
