I believe you mean: William “Jacked, son” Harper.

There's no grand finale to recovery. You gotta do it every day.

I kind of thought Cuddlywhiskers’ line was undercut by being delivered in a million dollar plus personal Zen monastery. Just because something is spoken hypocritically doesn't make it a lie, I suppose.

I don’t think this cements BoJack’s destruction as inevitable, it just informs us that it is possible, and his redemption is possible, too.

I finished over the weekend, and I just want to write a couple of quick points:

But in that case, the ending should’ve been Bojack actually changing/taking responsibility for his behavior. This still cemented that Bojack’s self-destruction is inevitable.

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.

I think maybe the saddest part was when she said she was in a fight with Tawny, but she still loves her, and then BoJack asks if they’re in a fight:

Two finales (or almost finale in this case) of terrific shows where a door at the end means two completely different things is some fascinating timing.

I actually lost track of which episode count I was on and didn’t realize I was on the series finale until the credits and...that was it.

I love the ending because it’s more interesting to ponder what comes next than for him to have died, or even for him to have resolution. This is the type of ending that lets my mind

The most chilling part of the episode was, in my opinion, the poem which the episode itself is named after. Will Arnett's delivery of the calm-turned-frantic perspective of a jumper realizing what a terrible mistake they've made gripped me for the rest of the episode, and even after the show ended. As soon as I

Yeah, she totally was. It was implied in the cold open right before they got the Herb is gay fax. Reading between the lines, that’s why she couldn’t defend Herb to the corporate overlords, they were already suspicious of her lifestyle.

Hollyhock is the best. I adore her unconditionally which is why it’s weird for me to say that all I want for the show’s ending is for Bojack and Holyhock to remain being friends and family to each other. I sort of ship them (in a platonic way) but I also realize that it’s probably a wrong thing to ask for. 

“Yeah, we’re in a fight, but I love her.”

“I had my doubts when he did the scene from Proof, but when he did the scene from Doubt I thought, ‘There’s the proof.’”

Maybe she doesn’t have another fight in her. Think about everything that has gone down since she met BoJack: discovering he’s her half-brother and not father; her step-mother poisoning her food; getting dragged on a late-night desperate drug searches; and now finding out about the New Mexico incident. Maybe she

A crushing part of the episode that does not get talked about enough is the brilliant use of the theme music in Escape From LA. That is the only episode I remember that does not open with the regular theme song. The absence of that seems to hint that this could be a new, positive change for Bojack. It is evidence that

You’ve been here about 11 or 12 years now. Not since the beginning, but a good long while to read a website daily. You don’t know where to go that’s better, but you just find this site exhausting now. It used to be funny. It used to be clever. It used to be a reliable source for finding weird, interesting shit that

I loved Season 1 (and Gillian Anderson continues her reign of Queen of my Heart and My Parts), except for the “homophobic jock bully is secretly gay” story line. Not least because Eric deserves to be involved in a better story line than that one, because Eric is amazing.
