Controversial? Well, it’s more of a controversial / baseless theory than an opinion. But I like to pretend that if Charlotte had been two steps slower and Penny had gotten just an inch closer, BoJack would’ve told her no a third and final time. I think leaving the door open was his extremely stupid way to prove to himself that SOME part of Charlotte actually wanted him that night, and that the instant that moment became realer than his hope alone, he would have panicked and realized he was being an idiot. His mistake was holding out for something (aka leaving the door open) that wasn’t actually what he wanted or even attainable.
So even though when Charlotte walks in and we see BoJack lying down on the bed with Penny reaching towards him, you think he was two steps away from saying no? You’ve missed the point by miles, my friend.
I don’t think that. I explicitly said it’s something I wish could have been the case (“I like to pretend”). I know what the scene was actually implying.
