I always feel so split about the ending. The ‘wouldn’t it be funny if this was the last time we ever talked’ thing obv that implies that Diane isn’t planning on staying in contact with BoJack and I always wonder if I’d be the same if I was her because I feel like I’d still hold on despite BoJack being a fuck up? Just because yk Diane has seen the little good BoJack can do like when he cleaned for her so if I was her I’d probably keep him at an arms length but not cut him off fully. Healthy distance yk occasional call or letter
She absolutely needs to get away from him, she’s so right to cut off contact w him. I think we don’t talk enough abt the fact that he called her, drunk and high, and told her that if she didn’t call him back, he would kill himself. She went through absolute hell thinking her best friend had died and that it was her fault.
Not to mention he did this right after she put some “healthy distance” between them – she moved to Chicago, and he leverages that against her when he calls. There’s no way for them to have any sort of healthy relationship, bc Bojack has an unhealthy dependency on her, and he’ll always drag her back in if she gives him even the slightest opening.
None of this is saying what I’d do personally, but honestly I’m not a paragon of healthy relationships lol. I’ve had some problems in the past, so now whenever I get even the slightest hint that someone might be dangerous, I cut them off without question. Ik it’s not a good way to be but it’s what makes me feel safe. I think I would’ve cut him off after just a few days of knowing him, while interviewing him for the book. But if I didn’t get there before, I definitely would have cut him off after the end of The Telescope. And if I somehow made it all the way to the end of the show w him, I would IMMEDIATELY stop talking to him after the suicide call.
