it’s good to hate Todd. there should be more Todd haters tbh

NOT Todd please

not a narcissist. codependent. she enables the narcissist.

thank you!

Which season had Bojack speaking to the “panel of ghost writers” telling Diane he “just needed her to tell him he was good”?

That was the moment I fell IN LOVE with the show. The writing, and Will Arnett’s poignant delivery.

Later seasons honestly didn’t impress me as much. I can’t remember which episodes felt draggy to me but they’re likely the same ones you felt were draggy, OP.

she’s not a people-pleaser. self-righteousness and people pleasing are kinda mutually exclusive. she deliberately stirs shit as much as she can out of self-righteousness.

someone else on here made the point that Diane regulates her mood by using moral outrage, and I think it was a brilliant observation, and relevant in this case as well. a lot of her moralizing is just an attempt to self-soothe; it’s not grounded in introspection and a genuine desire to be a moral force in the world; she projects her own self-hatred as a defense mechanism. her choices are NOT the choices of an emotionally mature person. her Philbert script was vindictive, as was her choice to leak the excerpt of her Bojack book. the people who are baffled by the Diane hate fail to see her hypocrisy I think. good observation on your part.

oh weird. I’ll look for it.
