Back in the 90's I was in a very famous TV show
I'm BoJack the horse (BoJack)
BoJack the horse
Don't act like you don't know

And I'm trying to hold on to my past
It's been so long I don't think I'm gonna last
I guess I'll just try and make you understand
That I'm more horse than a man
Or I'm more man than a horse
BoJack

The latest season just came out and y'all know the score. Is it impossibly sad? You fuckin' know it. Is it also really caring and clever and great? You better believe it.

So come on in and have some fun.

For those just getting into the show, get ready for some grad-a, weaponized sadness.

With that in mind, lets maybe keep the big heavy/twisty stuff from this current season under spoilers, but the last three seasons are open for all.

Besides that the only thing I can really think to say is... Suck a dick, dumb shits!

    Hooray Bojack thread!

    I love over the seasons how they've developed Todd from the wacky Kramer/Joey character to one with some surprising depth and compassion. Todd bounces around a lot, but the man has his heart in the right place, maybe more-so than any other character.

    Season 4 Todd Spoilers!
    I loved the Todd episode. Especially the sympthony bit at the end, with the conductor smiling and nodding. Also I'm really interested to see where the relationship with him and the better business lady go.

    Episode eleven of this season is maybe the first show to ever make me have to go get a drink.

    I was so utterly destroyed by it.

    Episode 11 was rough, yikes. 2x11 is still the toughest one I've seen.

    Hey guys. Bojack has a sick soundtrack. Which is your favorite ending credits song? Lots to choose from.

    My personal fave is the one from the last episode of Season 2:

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bcnIhzaDTd0

    It follows one of the Top 5 powerful moments in the series. "You just have to do it everyday." Like, damn. I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

    The moment they used it on was pretty perfect though

    i know that sad horse covers are the thing for bojack finales, but all of season four had a deliberate "after the finale" feeling, so using it so soon was kinda perfect

    Season 4 Episode 6
    When Hollyhock asks Bojack what he does all day, and his reply is that he just drives around, loiters in scenic areas, and drinks at the bar, that hit me hard. About six years ago, I went through a super rough and long period of depression, and that is exactly what I did almost everyday. Woof.

    Honestly though... How the fuck has Will Arnett not won all of the Emmy's for his voice work?

    Everyone is fantastic on this show but he is perfect. His voice sells every moment and emotion of BoJack beautifully.

    Closer's the song. Got me to look up the album and get really into their stuff.

    No I don't.

    Todd
    I love how, although they mined comedy out of Todd learning about asexuality, being asexual itself was never treated as a joke and the show ended up actually being pretty informative on the subject. I'm actually legitimately looking forward to them potentially exploring an asexual relationship next season

    What I also really like is how they portray relationship troubles between Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter

    For a character who is generally a giant doofus who is named "Mr. Peanutbutter," I always love when they give him moments to be insightful

    Neither of them are ever plainly the bad guy and neither are totally innocent

    Paul F. Tompkins and Alison Brie play their scenes together so so well, PFT especially is such a surprise when he nails the dramatic moments

    Holy crap this season. Finale spoilers:
    I love love love that the animation in Bojack's story of Doing The Right Things for Hollyhock was the same as the depression inner monologue. It's like.. he did it not only for Hollyhock but it was also self care and affirmation for him that he can be OK. That and it ends on a such a nice smile.

    I really enjoy stylistic stuff like this. They could have easily done it in the same animation style as the rest of the show and I wouldn't have batted an eye, but by changing it up they got some really cool extra stuff out there.

    It's a real sign of how strong the team is that not only are they willing to experiment with stuff a lot, but pretty much every one of those experiments has paid off. They aren't just throwing stuff at the wall to see if it sticks, they actually know what they want to do with all the stylistic stuff.

    Yup, likewise. I'd call out of work on the drive there and pick a random exit and drive until I got to dead end roads and just park for a bit.

    One time a dude showed up at my window when I was doing this - he lived in the house across the street from where I was. I'd fallen asleep, and he knocked on my window. He explained to me that he had recently kicked his heroin addiction (and he assumed that I was in the same place he used to be). He handed me a full mug of coffee and a little package of Ritz peanut butter sandwiches and told me it would get better, and then he went back to his house.

    It's a moment I think about a lot.

    While I was in Seattle we went to a pizza place where they were watching bojack, which was a hell of a thing to see. I didn't pay attention since I'm not caught up, but I did notice a Sorkin style hallway walk and talk and immediately became interested because that must've been absolute hell to animate.

    When they first showed the first glimpses of the flag, I was wondering exactly how they're going to depict the grizzly on it, and was not disappointed.

    It really bothered me that there wasn't a single mention of the fate of Ethan Around.

    I'd probably say this is my least favorite of the seasons so far. It's a bit too cerebral and obtuse for my tastes, but it was still damn good.

    See you say cerebral and obtuse but
    there was a running gag in which an overly-serious politician's hands got crushed and he had to get ridiculous replacements.

    I'm referring to Beatrice's ramblings. It's initially seems like she's just talking out of her head but once the big reveal happens everything takes on a new meaning and you have to practically rewatch the entire season to catch all of it.

    it wouldn't be all that hard, depending on how many corners you're willing to cut

    like, the characters are going to be the same relative size in the frame throughout the whole shot, so you can still animate them separately from the moving hallway, and you can set the shot up so you don't have to see their feet

    but obviously yeah it could be a huge pain if you decide to knock the lamp
