Jesus Christ Bojack Horseman gets hard to watch.

A nice thing is that the intro changes each season based on the main event of the season, Season 2, the stage for shooting Secretariat, Season 3, the premiere, and each episode has different people in the background depending on what they're doing. Season 4 changes it and has a stylised display of his friends/people he's wronged appearing in spirals. Midway through the season it turns out his mother is drugging the coffee with amphetamines, which he drinks in the intro. Great show.

If you ever need to be depressed just watch the 11th episode of any season of Bojack Horseman.

My wife and I were rewatching in anticipation of the new season and caught one: Princess Carolyn (who is a cat) is calling Bojack and there is a brief cutaway to her sitting in a coffee shop with a latte surrounded by an absurd number of empty milk cartons. Which you think is the joke, but then a few seconds later there's a glimpse of a wider shot of the coffee house where a pissed barista in the background is crossing "latte" off of the chalkboard menu. :allears: I just love how much detail they put into blink-or-you'll-miss-it background gags.

ACTUALLY cats shouldn't drink milk since they can't digest it after leaving kittenhood so that joke is just perpetuating an old false stereotype much like how mice don't actually like cheese as the smell and taste is too sharp, they prefer grains and other vegetables but would eat cheese as it was easily available

Ain’t no pun, son. Just a tongue-twister. And I think half of the fun in it is imagining Amy Sedaris reading it.

But yes, the albino rhino gyno wine addict was clearly the gold standard.

They really hate trans people.

The Daily Mail ran a hate campaign against a trans schoolteacher, Lucy Meadows. She killed herself. The Daily Mail later published her obituary, in which they repeatedly referred to her as a man.

There is no loving level to which that hateful rag will not stoop.

Starship Troopers. Right before the attack on Tango Urilla there is an establishing shot of the fleet passing by. On one ship you can make out a launch deck with several fighter bombers parked on it. The next fight begins with a bombing run on the bugs. It's a nice little visual nod to show how the Federation tactics evolve over the film from their embarassing first attack to their curb stomp of the arachnids at the end.

I thought the general consensus was the first attack is meant to be a bloodbath to galvanize support for the war. Or was that just the Buenos Aires meteor?

It’d make sense for them to use actual tactics once the war was in full swing.

The thing about the Federation is that they are evil as gently caress but goddamn are they incompetent and arrogant.

The Buenos Aires meteor was a cassus belli they pulled out of their rear end to justify expansion into arachnid territory, but their military tactics are entirely the fault of poor leadership and even worse planning.

This is why they fired the Air Marshal after the first battle. They needed a scapegoat to take the blame.

I think there was also news footage before the meteor about some "Mormons" who got slaughtered because they carelessly settled too close to the arachnids against Federation advice, but the footage is of the same style military base from Planet P.

People keep saying this, but don't we directly see the arachnids using meteors as weapons later on? Been a while since I've seen the movie, but I seem to remember that.

Nope. The bugs use plasma batteries using giant beetles for their anti orbital artillery.

The only hazy area is when the Roger Young's radar dish gets smashed by the Buenos Aires asteroid and Zander says that it came from the arachnid quarantine zone. The only problem is that the odds of the Arachnids throwing a rock across the breadth of the galaxy to hit a target the size of a pinwheel with such accuracy is so mathematically improbable as to be functionally impossible. The more likely answer is that Zander looked at the trajectory of the asteroid and saw that it came from roughly direction of Klendathu in a straight line, thereby vindicating human prejudices against the bugs.

The bugs didn't throw the meteor at earth. Nothing that we are told about them or shown about them suggests that they use WMDs. We're told that they shoot their spores into space to colonize new planets, in which case if they wanted to attack earth they could have just launched invasion spores. Everything else about the arachnids is purely defensive.

It doesn’t matter if the Arachnids shot a plasma bolt into an asteroid field to push a rock into South America (they did). It’s whether the Federation let the rock hit on purpose.

And why are Mormons the most space faring religion? Starship Troopers, the Expanse, and the OG Battlestar Galactica (Greek mythology but created by Mormons and meant to represent their flight).

There is no way the bugs could have hit the earth with that level of precision. They're smart, but they're not that smart. If the bugs had a way to hit the earth why would they settle for a slow moving asteroid? Space is very very big.

But the federation absolutely did let the earth get hit. They had lunar defense cannons well before the asteroid hit, you can see them in the film when Carmen gets assigned to Roger Young.

For all their faults, Mormons are one of the best religious groups when it comes to long-term planning. If they pivoted their vast wealth into technology instead of a weird obsession with geneology, they could make great strides.

Granted, they are concerned with the impact their actions will have on their grandchildren but they are usually only interested in protecting other Mormons.

The Mormons were another scapegoat for the Federation. It's something to note that the Mormon colony shown at the start of the film looked suspiciously like the military installation we later see on Planet P.
