She went home because her dad died, but she had a few sentences where the mother and daughter just talked to each other about Diane. Two out of five episodes have passed so far!!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other themes noticed:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the episode, there are many occurrences where you can find BoJack bloating about his wealth and (former) popularity to others. Just from my own knowledge and experience, I can think of a lot of famous men that do that, but not a lot of famous women (besides Lizzo who said: \u201cI\u2019m a rich b*tch\u201d on her Instagram. I\u2019m sure there are many other instances of female celebrities bragging, but I feel like a lot more of them are going to be male.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another thing that I noticed is that Diane seemed to box in her emotions instead of expressing them. Her father died and instead of crying and being super bummed out, she said \u201coh well no worries.\u201d Granted the relationship that she had with her father wasn\u2019t the best, I still feel like losing your father would have to hurt a little bit (unless you truly hated him, but that didn\u2019t seem to be the case in the episode).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a scene where BoJack is talking with his father, and I noticed a common theme. in a lot of movies\/tv-shows I have seen, there is a father figure who is grouchy, sitting in his fancy chair, and reading the paper. That is exactly what Bojack\u2019s father was doing!<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also similar themes with Diane\u2019s brothers and how they were all \u201csports dudes.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season 1, Episode 5, Live Fast, Diane Nguyen &nbsp; Bechdel Test: Pass or Fail?
