I'm 17 but bojack reminds me of myself so much. I keep doing terrible unforgivable things and I never change. But I constantly feel bad about it 24/7. I just watched the finale and I realized that's my fate too eventually, the people I love will abandon me. I'm not saying this to idolize bojack, I hate bojack, I just see myself in him.
"I don't like the view from halfway down"
I'm looking for a TV show to watch that's almost as good as bojack if not better
I love this show but it's so hard not to imagine Gob bluth from arrested development (played by will arnett, bojacks voice actor) to be reading the lines in the house from arrested development while Michael tells him he'll never make it as anything.
Just a thought
So we all know Bojack horseman grew up watching secretariat and admired him, which is shown a lot throughout season 2. In season 6 episode 15, We expect Butterscotch to appear since thats Bojacks dad, but it is instead Secretariat. So could it mean that Bojack found Secretariat a father figure and his dream replaced his real dad with secretariat? Or maybe because its a dream and dreams are weird, because Sarah lynn kept changing a lot too and the characters had weirds stuff happening with them like the gun shot in crackerjacks head. Whats your guys thoughts?
I'm a huge fan of Bojack Horseman and it's hands down one of my favorite shows! This show has really helped me get through some dark times in my life and this Bojack Horseman will always have a place in my heart. I'm beyond stoked to read this book and see how Bojack came to life!
What’s up with PC and Vincent? Did she actually have feelings?
And all the horrible things hes done. You could say just letting him live with the guilt but seeing how much damage he causee every time hes left alone id argue thats more of a punishment for everyone else
Tore this out from my calendar and after being tortured with the idea and waiting for the month to end for several weeks, I was finally able to do it.
I never understood why if Bojack left the secretariat recording because the movie was shit, when he returned from New Mexico (and finished the movie with the computerized Bojack) it turns out that it is a great movie with great acting, even considered for the Oscars.
Did I miss something or is it just convenience of the script?
It lives in my mind rent free like an annoying itch you can’t scratch.
I just wanted to post this because I’ve been in therapy for a few years now and have watched the show countless times..I’m just at a place right now where I feel like so much is beginning to finally integrate for me and that line sticks with me. It’s SOOOO relevant, especially at this stage of my life. Ugh, so grateful for this show.
Now, go suck a dick dumb shits!!!
I'm that kinda person who wants to watch show if its considered good no matter what. I decided to watch One piece (over 1000 episodes) just because my friends said it was good without any knowledge of the show.
I'm currently on season 3 and I'm still watching it just because. Does the series change on later seasons? To more interesting? Or is it just not for me
upon a rewatch i realized how much lighter the first season is than the rest of the show, and imo it makes the scene where bojack begs diane to tell him he’s a good person hit so much harder. that’s when i realized how incredible bojack horseman is. what episode or scene showed you that?
I still can't stop thinking about her story and how many similarities she shares with Bojack. Probably the best written character on the show
So Sad and so real
On my most recent re-watch of the show, I noticed how a lot of the main characters’ stories in the final few episodes are in some way a return to their position in the first few episodes, or an ironic reversal of them. Which I know is not exactly the most incisive observation, nor the most revolutionary storytelling technique, but still a cool thing to see - here’s how I see a few key characters coming full-circle from the first to the last episodes;
BoJack - starts out the show by (half-heartedly) trying and failing to tell his life story. He gives a journalist (Diane) a tepid version that lacks any real insight, but she eventually gets to a more raw and revealing version, which both harms BoJack and revives his career. Ends the show by trying to tell his life story (since the events of Diane’s telling). He gives a tepid, PR-doctored version to a journalist (Biscuits) but she eventually gets to a more raw and revealing version, which arguably leads to his death.
Diane - in her first appearance, suggests to BoJack that he is fortunate to be living the “Brady Bunch Version” of his dream career. In the last few episodes, Diane makes peace with living the Brady Bunch Version of her own dream career as a writer, finding success with the mainstream Ivy Tran books while moving away from the challenging journalism she lived for, but often failed at.
Todd - starts out as the ultimate man-child, ultimately outgrows both BoJack and Mr Peanutbutter, to take on the fatherly role that neither of the TV dads ever embraced.
Mr Peanutbutter - in the early episodes, is established as an BoJack imitator, someone who doesn’t really get the jokes but gets by on sheer charm and likeability. In the last episodes, he’s once again playing a role that was tailor made for BoJack, as the face of depression awareness. He doesn’t really get the feeling, but gets by on sheer… Sad Dogginess?
That’s all I really have and I couldn’t think of one for Princess Carolyn, at least not one that’s easily expressed as a cyclical arc. Which is fine because not every story has to be a circle, sometimes time’s arrow us to just move forward, and it’s nice that PC seemingly gets to do that. Anyway, interested to hear what people think and if you’ve spotted any other cycles like this.
does anyone else just sob at the whole sugarman / horseman plotline? like the flashbacks of baby bea, her bad relationship with butterscotch and little bojack just makes me want to cry! ☹️
Kelsey is amazing character We need talk more about her
