That was the best line of the episode for me. Just the flat delivery...

“Your car looks like it has ants”

“It does”

“I feel bad for them”

god, I hope you didn’t hurt your hand clutching those pearls

Edith doing the pointing-at-her-eyes-then-pointing-at-you gesture to Tina was good, but following it with the same gesture with a pair of googly eyes made it great.

Unfornatuely for Regular Sized Rudy, he’s not covered by the WoodChuck’s health insurance provider due to a pre-existing condition.

Didn’t we see the dine-and-dasher make one more break for it in the closing credits?

Whatever do you mean? Why, it just makes sense that you should have to mark a review with a redundant tag for anyone to be able to readily see it. Kinja is a wonderful blogging platform and the AVC’s move to it has been an unqualified success.

- Oh hi, Jack McBrayer!

Bojack deserves all the blame in this episode. Every iota of it.

My read on that wasn’t that asexual people are innocent but that’s who Todd is even before we knew he was asexual..

This is an excellent comment that I don’t think is getting enough attention. I don’t agree at all with the assessment that this season is a complete step back for Bojack. We see him trying—struggling, but trying!—to do the right thing way more in this season than we have before. And that moment of looking at the pills…

The Princess Carolyn moment (and her entire relationship with Bojack) made sense to me, because her particular issue is that she’s codependent. She grew up with an addict who she cared about (her mom), and derived her sense of self-worth from helping her mom cover or compensate for her addiction, without being able to…

I feel like the show’s point of view (as expressed by Diane) is explicitly that “irredeemable” is an empirically false concept, though. People aren’t definitively good or definitively bad - they just do good or bad things. Bojack did a really bad thing, for sure. But that doesn’t mean that he’s irredeemable; it just…

At the same time, she had just told him of her past best friend Abby using the same words: “And I hated her, and I will never forgive her, but she needed me and she was my best friend and I loved her.” In BoJack’s case, she omits the very last sentence, because she’s not ready to say it, and probably because she…

I love this show. And it was a great season compared to most things. But I don’t think it held up compared to the other seasons, especially season 4. It didn’t really utilize the other characters the way it became so good at doing. Todd was underused all season. Princess Caroline had the same plot as last season…

My issue with the realism argument is always that if I want realism, I’ll read a book on the topic or listen to an expert, not watch a cartoon horse act it out. I come to fiction because its not real.

I’m disappointed they went back to the old format for Bojack too, S4's ending felt like a turning point in his life with him having Hollyhock and then this season felt like it went back on that so Bojack could have another breakdown. It was still a good season but it just feels like a step backwards.

Todd’s incredulous “...NO.” when asked if the sex robot was a metaphor was my hardest laugh of the episode.

Disagree about the pure comedy.  I thought it was a wonderful swirl of laughing at it but also finding some moments of beauty and truth.  Like Helen says, what if it’s bullshit AND true?

Seeing Don with Silvia tonight reminded me way too much of those poor girls in Cleveland who were kidnapped for ten years. It was just too much.
