Sometimes this whole show feels like it was based on a dare. Like, the someone bet the greatest writer in the world that he or she couldn't spin gold out of the stupidest premises and characters imaginable. "Oh, think you're hot poo poo? Okay, Shakespeare, let's see you do a show about a self-destructive talking horse who is grappling with guilt and self-doubt from his life as a famous television actor." :smug:

And then it just works. Every single time.

I can't really see how they would continue with Bojack's story-line at the start of Season 4, especially with all the stuff firing off for the supporting characters. Flipping between the Mojave and L.A. seems like it would be too clunky, and doing a months-long time-skip between the end of 3 and the start of 4 would be kind of pointless and unengaging.

They could just have the first couple episodes not have Bojack. Just have all the plots with the secocndary characters fire off and give us a chance to see what people's lives are like without Bojack around Bojacking the place up. Then one of them mentions they haven't seen Bojack in a while and they all say that and they go looking for him, or he just comes back and we get a flashback episode while he talks about his months in the Mojave.

I'd be down for this if Bojack is missing from the opening credits. Like have it just pan through his empty house etc. instead

They pulled off a 2007 flashback with no warning or background in the second episode that set up the rest of the season, they can pull off that too.

It's nuts how much better s2 and s3 and late s1 are compared to early s1. I never believed good shows could have bad beginning stints of episodes but this show sure did. The fact this show only has 4 stars on netflix is weird.

If it hadn't been on netflix it may have struggled to get a season 2 as the first six episodes are abit of a slog and it would have killed the show off the bat. Like say maybe it stumbled out the starting gate?

I think that the first six episodes are there to lull you into a false sense of security about it being Adult Swim like.

I had the same feeling, sort of. He was giving me an "Adventure Time" vibe though. That whole episode was outstanding. (Though the biology nerd in me is a little disappointed the Sea Anemones weren't freaky animal-people as well, given the jellyfish and scallop ladies and the starfish guy. And no, I wouldn't have altered the scene they appear in at all.)

I might have binged on the entire season in the space of 24 hours, which was a wild ride. Also, a mistake. :cry:

One, Bojack needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Bojack's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Bojack"? Three--

I get the reference but the only way a Bojack minus Bojack first episode would work is if the other characters except for possibly Diane are very much unaware or unconcerned by Bojack not being around

I feel like a big idiot. This show is one that you really shouldn't have on 'in the background'.

I've probably been through the first couple seasons 3-4 times. And since the first watching, I completely forgot that Secretariat killed himself. That scene is all low-volume, radio show chatter, and I kept not looking at the TV during it I suppose. Kind of paints the final scene in Season 3 a little differently. BoJack's brain probably tearing itself apart between the two lesson's he learned as a kid from Secretariat - keep running / kill yourself.

This post was dumb, so here's an easily miss-able sight gag:

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


This season was really good, just like the first two, but I feel like they kinda shoved last season's cliffhanger into the closet pretty early on. Jill Pill barely gets any screen time, and the old show is just kind of a one-off episode that doesn't really do much but remind us how self-destructive Bojack is. Not that these are necessarily bad things, it just felt a bit anti climactic after how big a deal filming Secretariat was last season.

Sarah Lynn's death was really depressing, especially since right after that, we got to see her as an adult but before she became a parody of an addict. I was kinda hoping she'd be able to move on from her problems and Bojack eventually, but I suppose that's a bit too optimistic for this show or even for the kind of celebrities she's based on.

I just remembered that Sarah Lynn predicted her own death in the first episode she appears in:

I'm at a place right now where I never need to grow as a person or rise to an occasion because I can constantly just surround myself with sycophants and enablers until I die tragically young. Yeah, it's pretty much too late for me.

I thought it was funny at the time because I never thought the show would actually go through with it, boy was I wrong.

Something about cartoon horses man, really digs deep and teaches you lessons in a way you can really relate...uh, as in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

edit: clever harmless joking aside Netflix will also be picking up a TV series based on Spirit called Spirit Riding Free in 2017, produced by Dreamworks Animation. Meaning Netflix will have two drama oriented cartoon horse shows under its belt.

Oh God, please let there be some kind of clever meta joke about this.

You know, even though I had a strong feeling she was dead already, hearing the newscaster say "Actress and popstar Sarah Lynn is dead at 31" still hit me like a ton of bricks. And the way BoJack was just sitting there, staring ahead. Just, jeez :( I know others have said this many times before, but I can't help but be amazed at how hard I've been hit by a show about a depressed, washed up talking horse-man. On that note, I have a quick question. Did anyone hear anything about this show before it was added to Netflix? I know that I watched it the day it was added, but I didn't hear anything about it being made before that. Like, at this point, I had seen advertisements for all of the other Netflix Originals before they were added, but I can't for the life of me remember seeing any sort of hype for this show. In fact, I actually thought it was some kind of joke when I saw it under "Recently Added." I just threw it on out of curiosity and fell in love with it.

Also, we're up to four character deaths now, right? There's Mr. Nguyen, Herb, Witherspoon and now Sarah Lynn. Am I forgetting anyone?

- Mr Peanutbutter saying he's sure the spaghetti strainers will pay off, and then them paying off, was great.
- Can we get some more love for the whole "Who's that dog? Mr Peanutbutter!" sequence in episode 10? I was laughing so much it hurt. Had to rewatch it immediately.
- Oh yeah, my mum was visiting on the weekend, and I put on the show while she was sitting reading on the couch, and it just happened to be the episode with the "human woman gives a talking horse a handjob" scene. *cut to dog putting paw over face* Awkward.

I thought for sure that Captain PB was going to buy it and they were going to ask Diane and Mr PB to raise the Captain's kids, especially after the whole abortion thing. Glad that was a fake out.

I was sad that it was over and sad that Bojack was sad. I am oddly invested in this show.

This show is great at fake outs and plays on expectations, which is a good thing because life isn't so neatly packed either, which just makes the show more impactful.

Judah is great though, it's amazing how because of how he looked and acted everyone thought he was going to betray PC, but instead was just a good guy and a loyal friend, even if he rarely showed any emotions and spoke with very exact, :geno: terms.

I also think if this wasn't a netflix bingeable show the spaghetti strainer joke wouldn't have played out as well it did over a span of 12 weeks, since although they brought it up multiple times I did occasionally forget about them being there while watching the show over four days.

Well, at your request, I went to re-watch the sequence and in the dressing room where Mr. Peanutbutter was agonizing over whether his brother would survive the surgery or not there were posters in the room for movie adaptations of Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows.

Goddamnit, I love this show. Where the Red Fern Grows is personally responsible for making me blubber like a baby at least once in my childhood.

On a similar note of binge pacing, I really enjoyed how Emily is introduced in the flashback episode, and then right around the time I started thinking "hey whatever happened to Emily" she showed up. Perfect timing :3:
