And this episode exemplifies that.
Diane is having a rough time.
This story is told completely out of chronological order, but not in a way that obfuscates the plot.
So she must shift; she tries to be a tourist!
To relax, be on a vacation, and leave it all behind.
But this ends up being useless because Dianes left too much baggage at home.
And so Dianes reasons to visit Vietnam keep becoming more and more about the admission of her problems.
Her shitty new apartment.
Her inability to concentrate on work.
Her feeling awkward with BoJack and navigating the idea of being single.
All of her reasons blow up.
And Diane knows enough to know that shes just repeating negative patterns.
At first you think, oh, its a fling.
It means, I got you.
And when he did it to you, it made you feel safe.
And you realize he will never do that to you again.
And it breaks your heart again.
After you thought your heart was so broken that it could never get any more broken.
You thought it was safe.
But it somehow finds a new way to break.
You think you might find community, a sense of connection to something bigger, but you dont.
In fact, you feel more alone than you did before you left … You learn that you might survive being alone.
It is the expression of being alone and adrift all at once.
I imagine its a feeling many have felt in some ways over the course of their lives.
And to do it so seamlessly that the strings of creating such a moment seem invisible?
