THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD! My favorite part is that we get more of a look into who Dianne was as a person.
I always thought that she was smart or was at least a lover of science like Rick was, considering I don’t think it’s likely Rick would have married someone who didn’t share his love of science.
We’ve been able to get hints before of what her personality might have been like through Ricks Garage:
and Ricks Car:
Both have been modeled after Diane and use her voice and both of which have always been sassy or sarcastic towards him.
We also know that Summer reminds Rick of Diane as he’s said twice before in S6 Ep1 and S7 Ep 7 and we all know what Summers personality is like lol
We’ve now gotten the best glimpse at what Diane was like and a hint of what Ricks job was before he invented portal travel:
It’s seems he might have met Diane
1) while he had been working for the government and she may have also been a scientist employed by them
Or 2) she had been arrested by the robot that Rick had built while working for the feds.
(Either way both options are funny)
We see that Diane went to university and received a masters degree and probably loved science like Rick did
We see how her personality is similar to his when they join a drinking contest together, but also how Diane might have been more of a “party person” than Rick was when they were in college.
(I mean this episode suggested she was arrested by a law enforcement drone Rick built)
Considering how she comments on how he used to be a “lightweight” and later on tells him that “her dying made him cooler” (suggesting he didn’t used to be the drunk unhinged man that we’ve become so accustomed to seeing him as) we can assume that she was probably the unhinged one
IN CONCLUSION DIANE IS A SMART AWESOME BADASS WOMAN THAT NERDY YOUNG RICK FELL HEAD OVER HEELS FOR BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SHE WAS COOL IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-
MY FAWKING GOSH BRO THEY MEAN THE ACTUAL WORLD TO ME LOOK HOW THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER I AM COMPLETELY CONVINCED LOVE LIKE THIS DOES NOT EXIST LORDDDDD I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS MUCH EMOTION (CLAWS AT WALL AND RIPS OUT HAIR AND BREAKS EVERYTHING IN SIGHT)
I will never get over the way Tommy leaned into Buck when they initially kissed and then once Buck got with the program, immediately pressing forward into the kiss and just fully immersing himself to the feel of Tommy.
The lack of hesitation and how he just embraced it with such vigor? Chef’s kiss
