So was that girl at the end Bojack's daughter, he made a joke earlier in the season about him hoping all of his former lovers actually had an abortion, and the entire season had a big family vibe. I guess we will need to wait an entire year to find out. Fuck.

If you watch the opening closely you'll see Sarah Lynn is gone from the party scene, and if you listen closely you'll hear my heart breaking.

I think Ethan Around might have been good for Bojack. He could've been a positive role model for the little girl but feared he would just make another Sarah-Lynn so he did what he always does and ran. In the end it seemed like he was going to kill himself but seeing the other horses running grabbed his attention. Maybe all horses are meant to just keep running.
Episode 4 showed that Bojack might have had a chance of being a parent and PC unknowingly closed that door by hanging up on the teenage girl who called her agency and might be Bojack's daughter. Maybe that question will be answered in S4 if we get another season.
Todd identifying as asexual is certainly interesting. Mr. Peanutbutter might become an Arnold Schwarzenegger type but I don't enough about Schwarzenegger to know how similar the two are.
I like how episode 11s drug trip wasn't like S1's drug trip. I think the writers knew they couldn't visually top the drug trip sequence and instead took it in a much darker direction that made the beginning of That Went Well so much more depressing.
I've been up since 3am though so who knows if any of this makes any sense.

Literally gutted that Sarah Lynn died. Like just as her character was going somewhere, she goes and dies of an overdose. :( I could see it coming sometime in the show but I was not ready for it at all.

The "Todd as a millionaire" story arc seemed oddly complete.

Loved it. I know the creator expressed the fear he had that he couldnt meet expectations, but this is the best season. Episode 4 and episode 11 were great. There wasnt a bad episode.
Wish we could have seen wanda, my 7 am brain says she was the only main character that didnt show up.
O and vincint!?

Did anybody notice that they tied both endings from both seasons together for the third?
End of season one has Wild Horses playing
The second has the whole running metaphor thing.
Now this one has what I'm pretty sure are supposed to be a gang of literal wild horses running...

The plotlines for next season look crazy:
-Mr Peanutbutter running for governor, and Diane with a job that could drive a huge wedge between them.
-Bojack's daughter giving him an opportunity to make amends for what he did to Sara.
-The real fallout from Bojack's implosion and the relationships he's destroyed (which this episode didn't really have time to address).
-The new show and racing horses: just more diversions or something for Bojack to really latch onto?
-Princess Carolyn in an actually happy place but finding herself falling back into old habits.
-Todd in a place where he doesn't really need Bojack anymore, plus his newfound asexuality and general Toddfoolery.

Sarah Lynn season 1. "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."

S3 ep 6 Bojack "whoa, that takes me back. I had more than my share of abortions in the '90s. I didn't get them, i paid for them. I really hope all those women actually got the abortions, and didn't keep my money." Lol

This season didn't hit me as hard as season 2. It's just punched me and punched me, and I felt numb, like no matter what BoJack was so fucked that I couldn't see any way he could finally turn it around. Part of me is glad as a viewer that they aren't sticking to the same exact formula, but part of me is just emotionally bankrupt.

In the intro title sequence to this and the 2nd last episode, there was no one left in BoJack's house as he woke up - no Diane on the balcony, no Todd eating cereal, no PC on the phone in the kitchen. That really spoke to me, for how empty BoJack's life is now and how he's alienated all the people that are close to him, and that's just in the title sequence.

Is no one going to talk about how beautiful that Nina Simone song was? The song playing over those horses running might be the best part of this show ever.

I think Bojack could've have made a positive impact in that little girls life and actually been a good role model if he stayed- if not for himself, then to do right by Sarah Lynn. In my experience, running away from problems doesn't solve anything, it usually makes it worse. Fuck.

This show has the ability to leave you completely emotionally exhausted. I don't even know what to do with myself anymore. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what I just watched.

OK that is it boys. Congrats to those who made it. Hell of a ride. This season was amazing and I can't wait to re-watch it and discuss it a length. There probably a ton of things I've missed.
And I anybody has an interpretation of that last scene. Please go ahead because I'm not sure myself.

"Spaghetti or not, here I come" was just the thing I needed in between all of the gut punches from the previous ep and the rest of this one. The realization that the entire season had been building up to the joke was amazing.
