So I went to the Writer’s Room panel last night that featured the writers of Bojack.

• RBW said that they initially wanted the scene where Guy and Diane meet at the airport to go like: Guy sees Diane has gained weight and she’s a little nervous about it, but he smiles at her and she smiles back.

• But Shauna McGarry (one of the writers) didn’t like that because she felt it gave too much power to Guy, so instead they make Diane smile from the beginning.

• Raphael was kind of hesitant to go with that outcome cause he wanted a dynamic “shift” but in the end they went with the latter instead.

The reason this stuck out to me is because a lot of people complain that they don’t like/don’t trust Guy because it feels like he manipulates Diane and Diane only got better for someone else’s sake, but the little details point out that she’s doing it for her.
