This one’s a strange one for me. Cowboy Bebop is, frankly, about as close to perfect as I’ve come across. Maybe perfect is the wrong word. However, it works for me on every level. The animation, tones, the story, character development, and need I mention the the music? It’s not so much that I am against the remake as…

If this show is really just going to end with Bojack unable to change, I’m out right now.

Given the theme of the season, I guess my question is basically can we forgive? Hell, should we forgive?

Obviously this season was inspired by things like the #MeToo movement, with specific nods apparently to Mel Gibson and Harvey Weinstein. I tend to fall in the camp that Mel Gibson has done a course correct and…

I can see your point, I think, but I disagree as well.

This is just my opinion, of course, and yet that does seem to be how people change. You may have a point about the show following the same beats. And yet it feels to me like Bojack is going down a realistic path. He’s making progress as Ghostiet said, and yet…

To err is human.

I think he misspoke, and yet did nothing unforgivable. That is not to give him a pass, but I think there was actually a point under his commentary worth discussion, and he was likely emotional about it because his friends were involved. That does not excuse it, and I think he gets that (as much as I…

I would have rather they used this as an opportunity to talk about things. I know the AV Club thinks Macdonald “managed to step on every landmine,” however I do not believe that is true. Despite coming across a bit insensitive to victims there is, in fact, a conversation to be had about forgiveness, due process, and…

Hey Can With No Name, really good post.

To be fair, that quote was not in reference to Roseanne so much as some hypothetical, but probably inevitable, innocent person (or one who is less culpable than Roseanne) who is accused who loses everything in one foul swoop then ends it all.

I almost said that Hank and Dean were innocent and that they were more likely to view the stories with the wide-eyed anticipation of children. However...that’s not really the case anymore. We see that more with Dean, I would say, but the Venture brothers have matured right along with the show. Impressively so, I would…

Also, instead of a battle over belief (why can none of the adaptations get it right...) - we just get them punching and kicking IT at a lot - and somehow that works.

I like the movie however I agree with some of your critiques. Part of why I think I liked it was that I thought the cast was pretty good. I am also probably guilty of filling in the gaps of movies where I have read the books. But overall I actually liked it quite a bit.

The one thing that I missed most was the…

I don’t think that’s what he meant as such. However, as others have noted, he did also say this:

that money was long gone already. And those aren’t the type of kids who are jumping on a payment plan. Better to just ignore the past loss

Ah, thanks. It’s been a while.

Maybe the Big Villain/Little Villain program is something new, or just something that you have to sign up for or something. That would make sense since villains get to test the waters, then if they aren’t very good they get paired with a partner. That or it’s just convenient retconning.

But…

I took it that St. Cloud was not formally a member of any sort of organization. As such, I would kind of guess they thought it was just some weird guy with a grudge because Billy bested him in some trivia competition (this was a while ago so I’m going from memory and a quick Internet search). To me the difference here …

Didn’t we have our second Michael Kors reference from The Monarch last night as well?

As for the “oddly specific yet appropriate pop culture references,” that is a very endearing quality I find this show shares with Archer. I appreciate how they not only find these references, but how much this show really rewards you…

I had real trouble with Billy and White’s reaction to news of their arching once it was explained to them. They’ve been arched by St. Cloud before, in both Seasons 5 and 6, and St. Cloud annoyed, not frightened, them. I don’t buy that the Guild’s over-the-top language would terrify them so much.

Never said I was a good person.

That’s what you thought I was saying?

There’s no accounting for taste.
