Diane and Kelsey talk with each other for a decent amount of time about Diane\u2019s position in the Secretariat movie. BoJack isn\u2019t brought up at all (or any other male), so this episode passes!<\/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\">BoJack\u2019s mother was verbally and emotionally abusive to BoJack. I thought this was really surprising, because a mother isn\u2019t usually the one to express those violent traits and feelings. BoJack\u2019s father wasn\u2019t really present that much in his life either (they didn\u2019t have a good relationship), so the fact that his mother wasn\u2019t nurturing and caring kind of surprised me.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am very pleased to see the first episode of the new season pass the Bechdel test.
