The last episode really existed just to tie up all of the loose ends.
Itâs a shame too. The ending felt very rushed and unfulfilling. Itâs as though they wanted more episodes but couldnât really fit it all in their final season. The show definitely couldâve gone on for another season given the number of subplots. I mean the one involving Hollyhock was never really solved. It was just dropped.
Hollyhock changed her number when BoJack kept calling her, then he opened her letter heâd been putting off opening, and based on his reaction we can assume she said she wanted no more contact with him.
I didnât like the BoJack final season. Didnât feel plausible to me, more like the writers wanted to pass moral judgment on him and make sure he was punished.
Wtf if you didnât see that kind of ending coming after Sarah Lynn youâre bad at TV.
Itâs not about âseeing it coming,â itâs about whether the sequence of events that led to the ending were plausible. And they werenât for me.
On top of that, âBoJack goes to Supermax!â feels like not only a Seinfeld level of disproportionate consequences, but is also a really inappropriate portrayal of a Supermax prison given what we know about the prison system in America and what kind of criminals actually go there.
Yeah no argument here but everyone should have seen bojack getting his coming.
Well yeah, that was going to be the ending no matter when it occurred. Eventually, heâd have to pay a price for what he did throughout his life one way or another.
The whole supermax thing was a bit much. Itâs definitely done as a plot device to make the consequences more dramatic. I mean minimum security prison doesnât really draw the interest that being in a supermax facility does. That said, if youâre willing to suspend disbelief enough to watch a show about about anthropomorphic animals only to turn around and complain about the lack of realism with regards to Bojackâs imprisonment, then I donât know what to say.
Funny how suspension of disbelief works, right? The entire premise of BoJack is âanthropomorphic animals who behave normally in the real world.â Thus, anthropomorphic animals are part of the premise, so I can suspend my disbelief on that. But someone like BoJack going to a Supermax is not something that would happen in the real world, or even in the version of the real world as BoJack Horseman has drawn it.
I always hated when people would say stuff like oh you donât think this aspect of the Star Wars prequels/sequels makes sense? Itâs a series about magic space wizards, deal with it nerd. Just because a story has unrealistic or fantastic elements doesnât give it licence to ignore the logic of how the world the story exists in occupies ought to functions.
Change thread title to âTelevisionâ?
Alison Brie as the girl from The Ring.
Basically itâs the stand up version of The Eric Andre Show.
Man Iâm gonna love this.
âMoving Pictures with Soundâ
Crackle is still a thing?
In the Bojack universe, there is a ski race for the governorship of California. Why wouldnât celebrity trials be largely influenced by how popular the accused is?

Been watching this interesting British/Japanese thriller nightly having missed its first run on BBC2. Overall impressions are very positive albeit with some reservations about the plausibility of one or two scenes.
Just want to say I really like your avatar.
RE: Bojack
I agree with SUPERMAX being a bit hamfisted (also, it was totally fine to leave supermax prison for a wedding?). It felt like everything was building up to him dying/ODing, so I guess after he survived it really didnât matter, shrug.
A big meh on Eric Andreâs âLegalize Everythingâ standup special.
The whole excessive energy body motions in lieu of telling actual jokes reminds me a bit of Dane Cook. I mean, it isnât that bad but the material is on topics done countless times by countless comedians.
The audience involvement was a nice idea though itâs pretty obvious that they screen audience members to make sure that they get people who arenât going to fuck it up.
Perhaps if you view it as a performance more than conventional stand-up, then itâs better but it wasnât for me. Just didnât get any laughs from it which is pretty disappointing since Iâm a huge fan of The Eric Andre Show.
