10 Times BoJack Horseman Assaulted Our Feelings
10. BoJack breaks Wanda’s heart
(“Yes And” – Season 2, Episode 10)
“You know, it’s funny, when you look at someone through rose-coloured glasses, all the red flags, just look like flags”.
These are the last words that we ever hear from Wanda in the series and what a powerful set of syllables to go out on.
Upon awakening 30 years into the future after being in a coma for the aforementioned amount of time, the fifty-something twenty-year-old is more than a little unsure of her present surroundings, as the writers make clear for about half of the season’s run. But no more so than when she is lured into a false sense of security by her would-be lover.
For the first time since the inception of the series we see BoJack actually invest himself into another person’s life, committing to both the good and bad parts that come with the relationship. Sadly, he conforms to his old ways and the evergreen cycle of bitterness and disparity rematerialises subsequent to Wanda falling in love with him, leaving her with no choice but to remove herself from the situation with some choice words upon her departure.
