It’s getting bad again haha hundreds of people will get sick. The wildfires can really kick things up in the summer too. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-summer-smog-20160805-snap-story.html But we no longer live in the nightmare years where you could get high off the leaded gasoline cars driving by.

OH, GOOD. Nah, I was under the impression the near constant wild fires were the reason it's so bad. Every day's a lesson.

Just finished watching E9 Ancient History. HOLY NUCKING FUTZ have the last few episodes been insane beyond belief! I mean there was Free Churro where Bojack gave that long winded speech about his Mom dying to the WRONG meeting room, then the INT SUB story where all the characters are them, but not quite at least according to how that gay couple was telling the story. Then to Bojack's 25th year of hosting the Halloween party where Pickles got a cruel lesson in dating Mr PB, and now Hollyhock threw Bojack's pain pills into the sink, and now Bojack just wrecked his car so he would have another excuse to get more pain meds for his addiction. Though now I have some questions about what happened: -How did that chick get the tape of Bojack confessing about ALMOST shacking up with that teen deer that was his old friend's kid? -Did Gina move into Bojack's place for a while? I remember her saying that she was going to sleep at the end of the Halloween episode, and then she proceeds to goto bed IN Bojack's house.

S3E1, when Bojack was doing the Oscar push for Secretariat, he tried to sleep with a reporter but couldn't get it up after she mentioned a boat offhand, which led to him confessing that on tape (and also that he wasn't really in the movie). Ana, being Bojack's publicist, "took care of the problem" for him and I guess she kept the tape.

Funny thing is, as mentioned, writing that into the show gives Bojack plausible deniability should the tape make it into public circulation, they could pass it off as a test reading for an early script. Diane probably didn't intend that on purpose. When it comes to my mum's funeral, I'm just going to lie.

Haha my favorite quote from that scene is the reporter saying “let’s get natural!” and bojack saying “a horse and a manatee getting it on, just like in nature”

I wonder if they keep up with his career at all. Maybe the hapless husband will try to show it to them?

There's a lot of stuff in the first episode that gets you after you've seen the rest of the series. Like Sarah Lynn saying she wanted to be an architect, and her music video shot in a planetarium...

Holy crap, I just realized the link between this thread's title and the show even though I watched that episode a few days ago! Anyhoo, I just finished Ep 11, and holy crap was this episode trippy as all hell! The blending between the show and the police procedural drama styles was interesting, and I was surprised that Bojack flipped his poo poo and was strangling Gina in the end. And seriously, did Bojack hide his pills in every place in his house imaginable?

Vietnamwees posted:Holy crap, I just realized the link between this thread's title and the show even though I watched that episode a few days ago! It's a comic exaggeration of the addict tendency to have stashes around the place which quickly grows out of control, and likely an overreaction to when Hollyhock destroyed his pills and he went through withdrawal. Gotta say it couldn't be more timely for Bojack to end up addicted to prescription opiates. Benzos, it seems like?

That's Hedda Gabler, and it isn't disinterest so much as she married a man she didn't love because of society's stifling expectations on her. Tesman is actually very solicitous towards Hedda - her problem is that he's a dreadful bore.

(George Tesman to me is one of the most interesting dramatic characters, because it would have been a well-worn track in the road even when Ibsen was writing to make him the cruel husband and Hedda the harrowed wife. Instead Ibsen makes him boring, which is arguably just as fatal to a relationship, but rarely dramatised.)

Right, I remember seeing a performance of A Doll's House at uni but I mixed it up. Ibsen seems pretty relevant to Bojack's family given it's basically bored rich people forced into a stifling lifestyle unhealthy for any of them but too adhered to the status quo to change. I still reckon that Princess Caroline dodged a bullet when she miscarried the rich fox's baby; even before their family business was doomed, she almost certainly would have been miserable and shown it.

Yeah, Bojack's whole family situation is...well, it isn't not Ibsen.

Which kinda gets meta given Bojack's known to protect feelings about his mother onto Princess Caroline, and PC is basically the closest thing to a mother figure he has given her whole agent thing. Though she was more in the position of Hollyhock's mother (kinda) in that one way or another a teen pregnancy would have ruined her life. Incidentally, I was kinda let down at how the fox family seemed to live a relatively mundane rich people lifestyle (especially compared to the Stiltons) given PC previously described her upbringing around rich people who were all about champaign fountains, cocaine, screaming at each other, and getting cocaine in the champagne fountains and screaming at each other about it. But that's probably (at least retroactively) her exaggerating for comic effect. They were implied to be (relatively) new money.

You're likely thinking of Benzedrine, aka Bennies. Although the show calls it Feelbetterin, so I think it's left vague on purpose.

It’s been a while since lit class, I think it symbolises how Nora is seen as a literal doll by her husband, but she uses her dancing to manipulate him. There’s probably a huge number of references that went over my head in this smart talking horse show.
