Ive been rewatching Bojack horseman and I just realized that in S4 E11 Times arrow (The one with his mother’s dementia) at the end when she and bojack are talking he says “Can you taste the ice cream mom?” And she looks down ands says “Oh bojack its so… Delicious” BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT ICE CREAM TASTE LIKE BECAUSE SHE HAS NEVER HAD ANY SO SHE HAS TO LIE 😭😭😭. Im sorry if this was obvious to some else but its the first time I noticed it
To me, it represented a sort of awareness that Beatrice had towards the end. That she knew that she was losing it, and that Bojack was just consoling her, and instead of acknowledging that, she decided to just go along with it.
Whenever I hear the line, I just can’t shake how exhausted she sounds, almost like a parent trying to play along with a child’s imagination. Either way, the fact that fans are able to draw so many different but valid conclusions from a single line of dialogue goes to show how talented the writers of the show were.
