Alright, I’ve been dying to bring this up here since I spent way too long researching this yesterday after my rewatch of the series.

A reminder that Elisabeth Moss is a member of Scientology and that the organization has allegedly* forced many of its members to have abortions.

I read elsewhere that her pain is caused by fibromyalgia. My son developed fibro when he was twelve. Considering that 1 in 10 fibro cases are men and 1 in 100 develop before puberty, he’s a 1 in 1,000 case.

My girlfriend, whose mom is pretty similar to Beatrice, saw that moment as less “Bojack being kind to his mother in her final days,” and more “Bojack caving in and performing for his mother thus fulfilling the role she has assigned him.” It’s an interesting take.

Frankly, this episode left me terrified that some day I might end up like that, stuck reliving every shitty moment in my life in some half-remembered fugue state. I wonder if that’s really what dementia is like.

The screaming and crying from small Bea when her doll was thrown into the fire was too much (,man!) for me.

The season had been teasing a grander view at Bea’s backstory for a while, and it was genuinely moving to see it all play out here, albeit through the warped lens of her addled mind. By the end of the episode, I felt like I understood the decisions Bea had made, the perfectly relatable reasons she’d made the mistakes…

“Can you taste the ice cream, Mom?” “Oh Bojack. It’s so.. delicious”. I was prepared for this episode to end with Bojack saying or doing something awful to his mother, because that’s what Bojack always does, but for him to show kindness? To put his lifetime of justified grievances with his mother behind him to give a…

That’s too much, man.

Kristen Schaal was nominated for this year’s Emmys, for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance. She lost to Seth MacFarlane, for Family Guy, in what was obviously a travesty.

With that said, the scene where Princess Caroline flicks on the lights to see the apartment full of clowns was also the greatest visual gag of the entire season. I could. not. stop. laughing! Bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

This was, for me, the single most devastating Bojack ending thus far. The one about the voices in Bojack’s head was pretty bad, especially because I could relate to that. But I also know that feeling when you turn to daydreams to distract yourself from your real life, but then you have that anxiety triggered moment…

Sure, but the restaurant’s lifetime ban after catching a guy jacking off into the salad bar is still going to be enforced no matter how many AA meetings he went to.

I worry about Allie Brosh. She was supposed to release a follow-up book last October, but her sister died and she fell into her depression and last time i checked, there was no word on her and the book was postponed indefinitely

Like a lot of other, this episode hit hard. As I’ve said elsewhere on Kinja, Bojack Horseman and Pearl from Steven Universe are my spirit animals, and if you know what’s up with those two characters, you probably have, or at least recognize, depression. I’ve had issues with depression and, after intuiting it for…

BoJack: All I can think about is every shitty thing I’ve ever done and I think, “I don’t deserve that kind of love”

This is where my initial binge session stopped. For a good day or so.

Agreed. This episode was almost too real for me. I had to quickly move on to the next episode because I didn’t want to let this one simmer in my head too long

It’s strange how you can be waiting for something and not know you’re waiting on it. Sitting and watching this with my girlfriend, she turned to me and asked if this is what it was like for me all the time. It was such a weird question, because I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for such a long time that it…

Also I can’t wait for tomorrow’s (ep 6's) review cause I need to talk to somebody, anybody about it.
