On a technical note, I'm continually amazed by the diversity of voices from PFT, Alison Brie, and Patton Oswalt. Those three voice so many tertiary characters and they all have unique expressions. I think PFT voiced like half of randos this season.

On the other hand, Kristen Schaal always sounds like Kristen Schaal, but that's hilarious because Sarah Lynn sounds exactly like Mable Pines.

I relate a lot to the female characters on the show, which is both great and also terrible.

Missing Donut posted:I think my favorite visual gag is the selfie stick at the old folks' home in episode 3. I dunno why, but I couldn't stop laughing at the Krill & Grace poster. What impressed me about Episode 4 was how funny it was. I think gimmick episodes can really go either way; but even with the handicap of no intelligible speech, it was as funny as any episode.

Beekeeping and You posted:I actually feel like "I have so much money and a great house and anything I need, why am I not happy" Is a big part of Bojack, too. At least, that was a big part that I related to. While that's true, I don't think he compares himself a lot (or as in my case excessively) to other people, to appreciate how great his life should be. He's incredibly obsessed with himself. And there were only a few times this season were he actually thought about how his behavior affects other people, rather than himself. He certainly doesn't seem like the type of person who would freeze, because he fears that he can't find anything to say which doesn't offend someone else. There are a lot of different versions of mental imbalance. So it's not surprising that his is quite different from mine. But I know people who are quite similar to that version.

I enjoyed this season from a dramatic perspective but I didn't find it as funny as the previous two. There were certainly funny parts, but I felt like the emphasis was on the tragic story than the laughs.

I found this season more validating, in a way, because it said a lot of things I already feel I know--and in my favorite show, no less! The closer is so wise. But that said, I sort of disagree with its central conceit that someone like Bojack just can't be fixed. I don't really believe in broken people, any more than I agree with a definition of "art" that includes literally every thing. I have met a lot of people in my life, and I've found that most of the things that convince people they're broken are universal. People have so much more in common than they think. (Hence why a show like this can relate to so many watchers.)

I forgot about that line, until now, but I loved it - something like "It's complicated. If I were to describe most of my relationships with a Meryl Streep movie, it would be...Doubt."

It is really weird how the show completely shot down the hopeful ending of last season. Like I know without Bojack being a depressing failure there'd be no drama, but drat. It's like in a horror movie the heroine rides off into the sunset and then gets murdered in the first minute of the sequel. What's really sad to me is that the poo poo with Kelsey wasn't even his fault, and from my perspective, his lashing out in not staying with PC's agency was somewhat reasonable after what he must have been feeling from Kelsey's tearing into him. Episode 11 actually made me want more than anything that Bojack and Sarah Lynn might actually end up living together anonymously as possible and find happiness in normalcy. I find myself relating to Sarah Lynn really, really hard. At least she died happy.

Pick posted:I found this season more validating, in a way, because it said a lot of things I already feel I know--and in my favorite show, no less! The closer is so wise. I don't think Bojack being unfixable is a central conceit of the show. Bojack is just as capable of change as any other person on the planet, but change is hard especially when you're trying to change into something you've never been before which in Bojack's case is "happy". He's been miserable for so long that he thinks that's all he's capable of being but that isn't true. There are only two people who truly think Bojack is unfixable: himself and his mother who's also been miserable for so long that she thinks it's all she's capable of being. It's like that old joke: How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb? Just one, but the light bulb has to want to change. That's why Bojack's real problem is: He hasn't yet wanted to change. Sure he likes the idea of change, but like I said it's hard and so far he's not been willing to put in the effort to follow through on his attempts at becoming a better person. But just because he hasn't done it yet doesn't mean he can't do it. There's only one thing that prevents people from changing forever: death. So Sarah Lynn is the one who's life is really unfixable now. God, I think I was the only one who didn't see her death coming, and then when it happened I was too shocked to cry. Then, when I tried to rewatch the episode later, I started crying right at the beginning. This is a good show.

FactsAreUseless posted:When fish die, they float to the top of the tank. Your avatar is incredibly offensive. Full season thoughts: Really happy about how they handled Todd being asexual, and him coming to realise it. A bit unhappy about how they took away his money instantly, felt too much like a sitcom reset joke. Still in shock at the last few episodes. I didn't see Sarah Lynn's death coming either, especially after the slight fake-out. I know I'm going to rewatch the flashback and underwater episodes a few more times to catch all the jokes and just marvel at how well they did a silent movie episode. I can't wait for season 4.

It paired well with the previous joke where Todd said the him being a millionaire was a good setup for many interesting situations (like sitcom episodes). Also, were we supposed to get a strong Lost In Translation vibe from Pacific Ocean City, or am I imagining things?

Party Plane Jones posted:For people looking for the season finale song it's thank you. So, overall season opinion is I, myself, am okay. I used to watch this show for answers. I knew Bojack knew he was doing terrible things because he's lost from the start, so what's one more step down. And I knew the characters around him would have a net positive effect on him without excusing it. These past 12 episodes were the first that I've watched and felt like I was now rooting for Bojack, not rooting for myself and wanting the show to lead me to the way. I don't know how I personally did it, but this past year I found it incredibly difficult to find myself without someone to listen to me - and those last few episodes coming to the conclusion that Bojack sets himself on a cycle of self-destruction by constantly harming those around him and ending up without anyone to show up to save him from himself really sets up the most important thing Bojack needs to earnestly do next season. He needs to stop waiting for a fountain of happiness to explode from inside him, and actually support the people around him in the best way he can. The juxtaposition of Bojack forcing a meaning when faced with the vast expanse of the universe at the planetarium, and of having to face the very real meaning of having Sarah-Lynn's death immediately show him the conclusion of that thought was just brutal.

I feel like Bojack can't get better until he actually works at getting better. He thinks he wants to be better, but he doesn't take any of the steps required to distract from his depression, and is too busy filling the void with meaningless garbage because he's afraid of opening up to others. That's part of the difference between him and Mr. Peanutbutter. Mr. Peanutbutter also has problems with how irrelevant he is in the universe, but he works hard to make connections with others. His earnestness also would allow him to be able to take things like the AA meeting seriously, while Bojack just thought the stories were boring and pointless.
