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…

It seems this one resonated for a lot of people, we’re with you

I think the last time Bojack spoke with his mom outside of a flashback was the beginning of season 2, which would have been at least 2 years (maybe 3 years) prior to the middle of season 4. Their exchange then was pretty brief, so it’s quite possible the dementia had already started at that point and just hadn’t…

While still being in keeping with Bojack’s previous helpful acts, which are practically all attempts to fix something that was his fault in the first place.

Well, over a year has passed between the end of Season 3 and the beginning of Season 4, and I think a few months have already passed in Season 4 time. People with dementia can go very far downhill in that amount of time, especially if they don’t have other people around for mental stimulation.

Hey guys this episode really fucked me up but in a way that can be good? I think mostly because it shows (so accurately it hurts) just how intrusive and powerful depression & anxiety are. I think that will be helpful in showing others who don’t have it how it can be and try to bridge an understanding between the two.

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

The husband’s jism line is grade a foreshadowing

BoJack managing to find the doll and bring it back is a small shift away from the “BoJack fucks up everything forever” plotting of previous seasons, and that BoJack himself was expecting. It’s still terrible he threw it in the first place, but he’s making effort.

This one, uh... Got a little too real for me.

...I think this is my favourite episode of the whole show. I think it’s actually a better and more creative episode than ‘Fish Out of Water’ (which I loved too). The scenes in BoJack’s brain were brilliant, I loved the animation style, the music, the anger in his words, it was actually hard seeing exactly how deep and…

Yeah, they nailed it exactly. Even the weird ADD digression about Suddenly Susan that loops back into Bojack telling himself how worthless he is. Everything always, always comes back to that when you’re depressed.

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…

[Cruz unhinges jaw, swallows entire can of Campbell’s Chunky Soup - still in the can]

I just posted this to the article on Gizmodo that said the exact same thing, and since we get nearly verbatim articles across the Gawkersphere, I don’t feel too dirty copy/pasting and reposting the exact same joke. Besides, more people will see the joke here on the new and improved Kinja Club...

It’s nice that everyone is getting a chuckle out of this but please don’t make me think about Ted Cruz and sex ever again.

Wait what? I am confused. All these damn ads in-between the paragraphs made this almost nonsensical to read.

I’m a huge fan of the first season and a half, but I can tell you: the soap opera shit all but disappears in The Return. There is a much higher density of weirdness there. Do watch the second season finale first, though. The movie would also be very helpful preparation.

The third season is pretty radically different from the original run; the soap opera pastiche elements are largely gone.

Man, that kid getting shot hit me right in the gut. Took a few minutes to get my jaw off the ground.
