When it comes down to it, I really think Keith Olberman just really wants to be cool.

And it's kind of helping him get there, too.

Aaaand done with the season. Holy gently caress that was so good, and I will be watching it again very soon.

Episode 11 was the most brutal thing ever and never quite went the way I thought it would, until it suddenly did and everything got even worse.

Edit: Also, I was too lazy to look it up or look in the credits, but was Rutabega John Ralphio?

Agreed with both the season being amazing and episode 11 in particular standing out.

Rutabaga was Ben "Benny Schwas" Schwartz, yeah.

My two cents is that I think the theme for this season is that the story doesn't end where the characters hope it will. What I mean by that is that there is no happily ever after, rather it's a continual journey* and things can and will still go wrong because everything is just another step, with all the potential pitfalls that entails, and not a definite conclusion. Bojack thought that if he got the part of Secretariat, everything in his life would be fixed. Then, he thought that if he could reconnect with Charlotte, he would be happy. Diana thought going to Cordovia with Sebastian would help her feel fulfilled and purposed. Todd and Princess Carolyn roughly fall in line with their respective attempt to find new friends or love and respect. In every case, the characters get what they want but find it's not what they dreamed it would be and have to push through the despair and disappointment to keep going. In that sense, the macaque's little pep talk is totally congruent what we've see throughout the season.

* "The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn’t the search for meaning, it’s to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense and eventually, you’ll be dead."

I like this.
