I love that they found an actual setting

Yeah the clothing menus use terms like “smart shoes” instead of “dress shoes”. And if you look closely at the products in the convenience stores, you’ll see “litre” on some of the labels.

Oh god that was so pleasing. I love that they found an actual setting that brought back all those memories.

Silly pet peeve that is only tangentially related alert:

Hoping there aren’t any horses loose in the rehab center.

An even better followup is when the P&R cast did their PaleyFest panel, and Mike Schur tells that story. Plaza’s response is her in a nutshell. Worth watching, it’s only a couple of minutes:

She feels like a real person who got shoved in to this otherwise scripted comedy

In s1 of Parks & Rec they didn’t give her much to do and she was often just in the background of office scenes. So she decided, as something to do, that April would have a crush on Andy (he was in a band) and would flirt with him. The writers liked it and started working it into the scripts. So the April-Andy…

When I got around to watching Parks and Rec, I was struck by how much more nuanced her performance in that show actually is when compared to the popular conception of it. Yes, there’s a lot of eye rolls and sarcasm (and doing those well is no small thing, by the way), but it’s a surprisingly joyous performance at…

The thing to remember about Plaza is that while she may seem sarcastic and aloof, she’s more afraid of you than you are of her.

All I have ever wanted is for them to add stuff like this to the offline campaign as DLC.

Lovecraft was actually *unusually* racist for his day, and his extreme xenophobia is actually something that is altogether different than merely an expression of upholding the white supremacy of his day, although it is certainly something that grew out of the cultural environment in which he was raised. Lovecraft is…

Yeah, the Stanford-Binet IQ Test that groups like Mensa use to select for membership have a really fundamental problem: there’s no clear understanding of what exactly these IQ tests actually measure. It’s literally the “Underpants Gnome Problem”, except in random distribution form. You can test people, and their…

“No one in the series has born the weight of BoJack trying and failing to be better than Diane.”

Yes, plus the line where she talks about it was “A song you taught me when I was small” was chilling as well, being a callback to what he tells little Sarah Lynn way back in season 1.

I don’t see a lot of people talking about it, but the whole last verse of the ‘Don’t Stop Dancing’ reprise where Sarah Lynn goes quiet and repeats the last line while staring into the doorway sadly really stuck with me. So many incredible performances this episode, but what a perfect final act by Kristen Schaal.

My favourite show ended and all I got was this free churro

Allison Brie’s line readings at the end were so creepy/syrupy/perfect.

Stanley Tucci made me actually shudder with the delivery of “stand-up comedian, actor, crippling alcoholic and a stupid piece of shit”. If this was the last episode it would’ve been a different kind of show, but it also would’ve worked.

The show going explicitly out of it’s way to not blame Michael Eisner (Who owns Tornante, Bojack’s production company and who was big in getting Bojack to air in the first place) for Herb being fired and then overly praising Eisner as a great guy was a terrific metajoke in a very dark plotline.
