When season 6 first aired, I just knew it was going to end with BoJack either dead or in prison. As it turns out, he's a bit of both (he's actually in jail and he's basically dead to every single person he's been close with in the past). I also knew that Mr. Peanutbutter, Todd, and Princess Carolyn were going to be fine (did PC's relationship with Judah remind anyone of Peggy and Stan from Mad Men or was it just only me? What a great surprise! I happen to love them together very very very much and I'm incredibly happy at the idea of Princess Carolyn being with someone who actually respects her, loves her, understands how her job works and how important it is for her, and is always willing to go the extra mile for her), but I always worried the most about Diane. I've always felt very connected to her and I kind of hoped things worked out for her because that could mean that things will eventually work out for me as well. I was a little bit disappointed to find out that she's no longer with Guy because I also wanted her to be with someone who truly loves her and cares for her, but then I remembered what Sonny said to her a couple of episodes ago about Guy always choosing "broken women" whom he then "fixes" and who eventually leave him when they're better, and I realized this: maybe that's why Diane is no longer with Guy. She is not "broken" anymore. And her final scene, in which she cuts off BoJack from her life for good, is further proof that she is, in fact, alright.

@carolinaoftarth she married him though. They are still together.

@waltandmartha I actually had to rewatch it because I can't believe I missed the part in which she shows BoJack her ring! I guess I was too caught up in the moment to focus on what I was actually watching. Thank you for telling me! (I guess my previous essay about her not being broken and all that was my sad, sad brain at its best: overanalyzing everything)

@carolinaoftarth I took her saying Guy was her then boyfriend as just that, he used to be her boyfriend and now she’s married to him. She showed Bojack her wedding ring. So what she said makes sense. Guy used to be her boyfriend and now he’s her husband.
