Watching 3 20 minute episodes in a row isn’t a binge that’s just good old fashioned “veggin out”

Yes, but when you're trying to convince someone to watch a new show, with the endless content we have now, they probably need a little more than "generic adult animated sitcom".

The show's over and has universal critical acclaim, if someone refuses to watch it that's not really my problem anymore.

Yeah I tend to think at this point basically anyone who would have been really into Bojack horseman has probably had multiple opportunities to discover it by now Also for better or worse any other adult animation that focuses on depression, mental health, drug abuse or similar themes is going to be walking in Bojack’s shadow and will be endlessly compared to it

Starting a month before season 6 was announced and then reading through the better chunk of a decade of posts here saying, "I think Bojack's gonna take up running and get better next season!" was a fun ride.

So I've been doing a rewatch of some key episodes from Bojack, and I just finished watching Free Churro, and I forgot about Bojack's rant about water & drowning, I wonder if that was done on purpose to coincide with Bojack's crazy hallucination when he is drowning in his old pool.

Well there’s that scene in season 3 where Diane tells him that when he kills himself there’s going to be no one there to stop him. And they are standing by the pool.

There was no way Bojack was ever going to die anywhere but the pool. It’s been telegraphed harder than anything else in the show.

I was kind of blown away by the bit in this interview where RBW makes it sound like more of an off-the-cuff decisionquote:Bob-Waksberg: I don’t want to say it was planned from the beginning of the series, but certainly when we were thinking, “What is causing BoJack to [enter this death hallucination]” we knew that he was relapsing and drinking and doing drugs again. It felt like, “Oh yeah, he could just pass out on the couch … or it could be in the pool. Let’s go that way. That is much more resonant.” In the credits, but also throughout the series, there have been so many references to swimming and drowning. It felt like a nice pay-off.

The first episode of the show I ever saw was "Brand New Couch," the season two premiere. That was all the preparation I needed.

Wayne Coyne from the Flaming Lips swears he hasn't done drugs in years but I'm convinced he immediately goes home after the interview and swallows a sheet of acid

The show has changed direction or lost track of ideas before (Jill Pill, Bojack trying theater in NYC), so the idea that everything was planned from the start doesn't make much sense to me.

You know, rewatching season 3, Jill Pill and the NYC play weren't really dropped ideas at all. Jill Pill just served to get Bojack back in touch with Cuddleywhiskers, which set up the Bojack Horseman show. And that was all leading up to the exact moment Bojack broke what was left of Sarah Lynn's heart in 2007, which tied directly to her death. Bojack doesn't get to do the play because while he keeps saying he wants to do meaningful artistic work like Secretariat or a small personal play, he keeps focusing all his energies on dumb shallow things like the Oscar campaign. The show didn't drop those ideas, Bojack did.

I got the impression they never had the plot hooks set up at the end of a season fully set in stone to when they wrote them out. Ana Spanakopita and Stefanie played out very different from their introductions

I'll never understand why that song in particular, I mean I'm totally on board with the idea of some melody that's particularly earworm-y being something innately buried in our biological subconscious, but AATWT doesn't really have a melody even It's a lot of sing-talking against a three-note bass line, plus a guitar solo e: It's like when I read Spellsinger, which featured a high school kid getting transported to a fantasy world of furries, and of course he had his guitar with him which he used to make friends and influence people. He demonstrated his skills by playing that famous six-string classic "Eleanor Rigby"

I'd imagine she's just drawn to fundamentally broken people that others see as idols. That probably doesn't narrow down the field of celebrities much, so I'd chalk it up to coincidence

She admits at one point that she was obsessed about Horsin' Around growing up, presumably she looked up her idol's idol at one point and found it interesting enough to keep digging.

This can be accidental ("huh, we've used water as a metaphor a lot, I think I see something we could do") or deliberate ("so we settled on using water as a metaphor and have been consistent with it, now I just had a great idea on how to bring it around"). And sometimes it's just the audience seeing something that wasn't deliberately intended but works out so well you'd think it'd have to. When you fail to be skilled enough to do any of those, you get LOST.

Careful, you might attract one of those people who keeps insisting the finale was good, actually, and only people who don't understand art would say otherwise. Like Zach Snyder fans but for TV.

The first half was pretty rad when it was all space battles and boarding a giant space station. Then it took one of the biggest leaps into awfulness I’ve ever seen and made me hate basically the entire post-New Caprica show. I really cannot overstate how bad the BSG finale was.
