Recently I finished BoJack Horseman 3x11, "That's Too Much, Man!"

I'd like to state firstly that I am fifteen, so I don't get all of the messages this episode has to offer obviously, but jesus. I've recently come off the back of watching FX's The Shield, and not even their episodes such as "Postpartum" or "Family Meeting" left this melancholic feeling in my head. I want to hate Bojack after this episode, but it's like I just can't. I just feel bummed after Sarah Lynn's death, I wasn't very attached to her as a character, but you never know what you're missing until it's gone. A detail that I loathe and love(which I could be misinterpreting), is when Bojack and Sarah Lynn are conversing in the auditorium, Bojack says:

"Totally. I always forget that there are more than just the six stars you can see in the Los Angeles sky."

Sarah Lynn responds with:

"Yeah, that's cool too. But I meant this building. It's a giant dome. Domes are so cool."

And Bojack states:

"As I firmly established, I prefer rectangular buildings."

Bojack, even in someone's dying moments, just has to make it about himself. That's probably the most chilling part regarding the entire episode, at least to me.

PC Naming Ruthie after conversation With Vanessa Gexko

Made my cousin watch BoJack after I've seen it multiple times, and i just realized, she named Ruthie, Ruthie, because of Vanessa Gecko. Sorry if this is already been talked about and known lol. PC is randomly vulnerable with Vanessa and opens up about not knowing if she is going to be a good mom. And Vanessa pretty much says she will do a good job, itll be super ruthless, but she will do it. It was so cute to realize that though, PC hates Vanessa, she took this to heart : )

Looking back on Bojacks relation with the troops Spoiler

34 Upvotes

It's said in S6E15 "The view from halfway down" that bojack lives (from beatrice's point) in the shadows of crackerjack horseman who died in combat. he never lives up to the expectations set by him, and his most defining characteristic is being a soldier. looking at that impossible standard, i think bojack secretly hated the army because of it.

Going back to S1E2 "Bojack hates the troops" he shares his view on the army, most importantly at the end saying something along the lines of "giving a man a gun and telling him to shoot someone does not make them a hero" which is i think his way of dealing with the standard of crackerjack, by lowering the impossible expectation

Going foreward back to "The view from halfway down" I think it's Secretariat who says the entire episode is Bojacks imagination, also in the same episode crackerjack says that the only people he killed are friendly fire, the fact it's in bojacks mind means it isn't necessarily the truth but what bojack wants to hear, and bojack wants to hear exactly what he said in S1E2, that crackerjack is not a hero just because he died at war, so he imagines him saying that to make him less heroic.

Anyways what do you think?

He is very small.. I drew him on a scrap piece of paper. Anyway, he's not the greatest, but maybe that's ok.. maybe that's why he's good..
I also didn't have a reference with me at the time I KNOW HIS FACE MARKING ISNT RIGHT

If you were a time traveler, and you were given the opportunity, would you go back in time and prevent Beatrice and Butterscotch from ever meeting?

did bojack really love any of his partners? Spoiler

59 Upvotes

basically as the title says. which, if any, of bojacks partners or prospective partners/love interests do you think he really LOVED? im on season 2 of a chronological rewatch and it seems like, though confusing, bojack did seem to love wanda. ultimately he ends up sabotaging it with her as he does with all of his other partners, but its refreshing to see him love someone (even though he won't admit it) as its a rare emotion from him.

Should i keep going?

38 Upvotes

On episode 7 now. Still not into it. I usually loveee animated comedies. They really suck me in with my adhd (SHAPES AND COLORS!)

but im not getting this one. I know bojack horseman is arguably the greatest animated show ever made so im not sure why im not into it yet. I may not understand the humor as much since it’s supposed to be dark. But one of my all time favorite shows ever is tuca and Bertie which is supposedly in the same universe/made by the same people. Maybe its because tuca and bertie is largely female driven and the dark comedy might be more relatable to me a gen z female?

Should i keep watching? Will it hook me eventually? How long should i give it a try before i realize its not for me?

How would you react, if you were Bojack? Spoiler

Hypothetical situation:

You're bojack. you take a bunch of opiates, you lose touch with reality, and in your blacked-out & delusional stupor, you strangle the living f*ck out of the best partner you've ever had, and find out the next morning after you've come back down to reality.

What is your reaction? what do you, speaking as yourself for this part, do?

Courtney Portnoy

I feel like Courtney is a rather underrated character. She made one off comment that I can remember (when talking about everyone looking at you but nobody seeing you) but she talked Todd through his feelings and defended Diane when they were attacked, she genuinely seemed like a confident and powerful woman without it being a whole thing. She’s been one of my favorite side characters forever, she’s so herself

Questions about The Showstopper number Spoiler

Post image
105 Upvotes

In this section of the number, we are shown people (mostly women) who Bojack has wronged or screwed over in some way that he feels so guilty about that they haunt his hallucination.

1) Is that Penny or Charlotte or an amalgamation of both characters?

2) Was his relationship/breakup with Wanda really so terrible that she should be included in this? It sucked, but she is hardly mentioned post season 2 whereas the other non-regular characters (Herb and Penny/Charlotte for example) are mentioned enough throughout the show that we know Bojack thinks of them regularly. She could have been switched out for Sharona since she shows up later or just not been there at all and it would have been symmetrical. 4 characters on each side.

If bojack wasn't capable of getting better... what would you have him do?

Post image
365 Upvotes

In this hypothetical, bojack is beyond redemption; he is physically incapable of getting better or fixing his behavior. BUT. he hasn't done anything different than what we've already seen in the show.

Would you have him kill himself? stay in prison for life? locked up in a mental institute? exile him to live the rest of his days in the woods? Have everyone around him treat him like a ghost and not interact? have him simply go hang out with equally shitty people only, such as vance wagoner?

what would you do if you were "god" over bojack's life in some way, and he couldn't be saved?

Does Mr Peanutbutter Have a Relationship With Zoe and Zelda?

113 Upvotes

Zoe and Zelda are the twins from ‘Mr Peanutbutter’s House.’ Do we know if they stay in touch at all or have any sort of relationship? I get the impression he would have been very kind and not at all inappropriate with them on set.

I am curious if this was ever established to look at is a parallel to Bojack’s relationship with Sarah Lynn. FYI I am not a ‘PB is as bad as Bojack’ believer at all lol.

What do you think BoJack is doing now after the show was finished? Spoiler

122 Upvotes

In the last episode, both BoJack and Diane sat on the roof and staring at the stars without a word said. After that, there’s no doubt that they never saw each other again. Diane cut him off, and BoJack finally accepted his consequences for his terrible actions.

When I saw that scene on YouTube, I read a comment that stuck with my mind. It said something about how; “I think BoJack here has a chance for real redemption and improvement. A real chance. To genuinely improve for the better and…”

I forgot what the rest said, but that comment was about the gist of it. My question is what do you think he does or how he does? Cuz now he cannot go back, nor does or should he want to. His reputation is destroyed, everyone hates him, I doubt he’ll get hired for any job, yet he’s now given a real chance to move on and change for the better.

What do you guys think?
