It was painful to watch Diane and Mr Peanutbutter’s marriage crack this season. Especially if we consider the main theme was of how “time’s arrow neither stands still nor reverses”. We see them struggle to move forward together throughout, Mr Peanutbutter’s attempts to become Governor highlight this. Any time we see them happy together is when their relationship is almost ‘standing still’, and there is constantly that reminder that they want to go back to how it all was before. However, we know that this is completely unrealistic, underlined perfectly in the last episode when we see them both physically and metaphorically out of sync with each other. At the virtual-reality estate agents they seem happy to make big plans together, though the whole scene is more obviously a joke for ridiculous VR, we see them unable to find each other whilst Diane is completely hung up on the memory of Mr Peanutbutter’s old house. When they arrive at their new home they immediately want to postpone everything, so they pull a Bojack - they run away. The only time all season when we really see them on the same page in the present, is their last scene. They are forced to realise that their life can’t go back to how it was before, with the severe lack of understanding in their marriage now starkly visible to both of them. -- source link
