You sir just earned my respect, and a sub

Mefford Productions thanks!

This is so true... For real.

Yeah 13 Reasons Why can (and it will, actually!) get the cap off. Edit: It finally did get the cap off! Phew.

Because 13 reasons isnt anti suicide it dramatizes it

ya i just saw they didn’t win and i’m honestly kinda pissed about it. this show got snubbed

Honestly, it didn't need it. Who cares what they think? They've never experienced anything this show resonates with. We have.

Allen Hearn that’s such a nice way of putting it. you know u got a rly good point bruh!!

HOW TF

Honestly who gives a fck about awards given to hacks.

it doesnt matter what animal it is ,its still the same message

I think that's exactly what makes the show so great. I mean this show might've taught me a lot more about life and depression or other mental disorders than any human ever could.

The..the guy in 6500 dollars suit has to voice act over some depressed horse... COME ON!!!

A horse you said ? The one from horsing around ?

@@lawnmower69 I’m not aware of this “horsin around” show you mentioned...are you sure you don’t mean that one 90’s show “around?” With just the orphans?

i’m on antidepressants now, and i’m just realizing how terrifying my suicidal thoughts were. when i was depressed, i thought they were normal. i wanted to die. I’m glad i’m not dead.

Glad both of you are alive

@@danny8284 i’m on antidepressants too. when i hit rock bottom, i started watching bojack horseman again. that was a week ago. i’ve seen it before, but this time it is hitting me harder than it ever did before. it’s crazy how much i can relate to this show. comfort, but also terror at the same time :(

@@emily.290 I don't know any of you but somehow it makes me really happy to see that we are all here to share our thought, understanding each other with only a few words.

this just disturbs me even more tbh. it doesn’t make me comfortable. it makes me afraid. i’m now terrified that one day i’ll be the one falling and i’ll open my eyes and regret everything with no way to stop it.

Rozalynn Chesebro in all the years of television show and movie watching, this episode hurt to watch and it’s damn near impossible for that to happen.

Yeah, that's what gets me the most. When he finally accepts that he is dead and that this is the end of it all, he just wants to spend his last moments talking do Diane, holding on to one last glimmer of comfort and meaning before he is gone.

I cried so much after this episode when I thought a bit more about that line. The last thing he wanted to do before he dies is to talk to Diane about her day. I can't with this show.

You know what terrifies me? If this happened to me, I wouldn't even know who to call. I would die there, completely alone, swallowed by dark and nothing.

This whole episode is gonna haunt me for a while.

no one can.

@Kenshiro Sama no evidence, paradoxical, nonsensical, doesn't mesh with the way the Universe works, generally religious institutions are pretty evil, there's been thousands of religions over human history and there's not much difference in saying they're all wrong instead of saying they're all wrong except one (but saying they're all wrong is more logically consistent), among other things

@Guantanamo Clay Jock joker?

@Guantanamo Clay it’s about sending a message

Unlike his mother, he went gentle into that good night

Reminds me of The Stranger by Albert Camus

Why did he die

I love how he says “this is it.” It’s so calm.

I like the tinge of disappointment, too. And the almost cheerful but bleak indifference with which he says "this is it".

Many years ago my sister, in second grade, announced to her class that there is no Santa Claus. The entire class started crying. She went to the principal, not to be reprimanded, just to have a chat about preserving the innocence of unknowing children. "Oh, classmates, no, there is no Santa Claus. Your parents are it!"

That phrase broke me

Missing the part about the brain

Good Morning. The Human Mind is the greatest Standing Probability Wave generator known. Together, in unity, whether good or bad, we make our own realities, build our own Heavens and Hells. Alone in the end, there is a door, kinda like this episode. It can be a void and an ending to the 'you' that is the face on your soul if that is what you believe ( and want ). I think the Soul and Brain work in concert at everyone's final moment in Life to build that door for you. What's waiting on the other side is what _you_ built from Belief. Herb's words from the episode struck me deeply and I had to sit and remember my feet on other shores, in other places with People who built their Heaven ( My Hel is shuttered up and empty ) and I got the Hug and Opportunity to say goodbye that I missed in this Life. My door is waiting for me and I'll be there one day to open it and walk through into the Halls. SO remember folks, be careful what what you believe and most importantly, what you want...

This is the part when I broke down

@Painless Black Wolf, this sounds like a strong case of wishful thinking. But I’m not going to begrudge you your beliefs if they help you sleep at night.

Bojack horseman portrayed life in the most realistic way possible 👌

@Pierre damn thats insane bro, suicide is not the answer, all u have to do is to move forward and do your best eventually everything will get better, i Hope u're doing okay

Pretty obvious but not just the bridge is the “drop” the “drop” is death and the fall is aging he’s Middle Aged close to death

Fuck man, this and how this episode ends in bojack being engulfed into the void gave me goosebumps through my entire body, even my face. Horrifying

That destroyed me in the most brutal and wonderfully tragic way. I cried and cried hard, Halfway Down is a terrific piece of art.

I was already starting to fall apart in the scenes leading up to the phone call and when Bojack says "you didn't pick up" it just broke me... Couldn't hold it in anymore...

@@roadrunnerzmb Same man

Than simple "No..." from BoJack is so painful.

It's the way it is, you know? The drip must come to an end.

Yeah... no... actually no it’s just completely terrifying... Yeah I’m always 100% terrified by this concept.

I find it really comforting, I can fuck up as much as I want and just enjoy life

Not comforting by any means. It is just terrifying because of the insignificance it implies on our existance. No comming back. Not even darkness. It is just merely nothing; as lonely and plain as a brain that no longer works. :(

@@user-lr1rt3sz9u I like to describe death like this. When you sleep, some times you have a dream. After having that dream, you wake up. But sometimes you don't have any dream at all, and just wake up. You don't notice _when_ did you start sleeping, and just wake up. You don't have any memory of what happened in between that lapse of sleep (if you didn't have a dream). So for me, death is that, just without ever waking up. You don't really notice that lapse.

Lol that's what I was thinking during that part

Memento Mori😔

This quote is so good. It not only tells a good story about Bojack trying to relive his entire life as the Horse from Horsin' Around, but also speaks at a personal level of "Hey, death happens, its just the way that life is."

Memento Mori friends 💀💀

@@ClaireMcInerney bitch....i still hurt. you really gotta remind me? 😢

Thats the thing about death.. Its your friend who reminds you theres nothing waiting for you and to make your days count.. When you embrace death as your friend.. It is your biggest advisor.. Your friend who reminds you to please live your life.. Embrace death. Find your peace.

Well, for those of us who don’t believe in an after life....there is no other side.

@@ashikdennis9202 one could also live by this thought experiment from Friedrich Nietzsche: "What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence-even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!'"

Try to find a therapist or talk to a doctor about medication if you can.

I've never seen the view from there but I'm sitting by a bridge, listening to this clip, reading these comments, trying to ground myself. It feels like I've working so long to get better but I'm still feeling that pain. That's what I really want is relief from the emotional pain, not death. Thank you for sharing, it helps someone.

There's no time to regret if you pop your nogin

I always find it weird how people focus on the regret and give it more validity than the original choice. Like... of course you're going to panic when it starts getting closer. That's your fear talking. Your survival instincts kicking it. It isn't motivated by any kind of logic. The decision to jump was logical. That was a calculated choice made deliberately. The regret and fear you feel is just your lizard brain doing what it was designed to. Just like your brain tells you to kill someone when they cut you off in traffic, or to eat fatty foods for survival. Instincts aren't dependent on context, so they often aren't reliable. What makes humans special is that they have the free will to rise above their instincts. And fear of dying is just that, instinct. Just because the regret is the last thing that happens doesn't mean it's more honest, or somehow more valid.

@@MegaNightmare4 somewhere in these comments, someone mentioned survivor bias. We can't ask the people that actually died if they regretted it, only the people that lived.

@@MegaNightmare4 If your statement about it being fear just for those last moments, due to human psychology, were true, the feeling of regret wouldn’t last. People who survived suicide wouldn’t continue to be glad they survived. They would eventually return to their original mindset

I watch fhis whenever I have thoughts of suicide

I dont think im exaggerating when i say this show saved my life in many ways. I did things to change, and that poem, that episode really drove the point in. I love this show

Bella No thanks Agreed

I tried to end my life and I survived. The view from, halfway down causes a stress and terror in my brain equal to what I experienced that night. The second I did it I regret everything and the only thing I could say to the officers/paramedics was "I don't want to die I am scared please don't let me die" I will never attempt again

It deserves every award under the sun it was fucking incredible start to finish

If this loses to The fucking Simpsons, Bob's Burgers or Mickey Mouse, like Gravity Falls, there will be hell to pay.

Adam Kalb normally I don't like it all that much but I think it really works here since it represents bojack being given one more chance

Unless the death fake-out is your least favorite cliche. That is *ONE* crucial reason I can answer in case you ask "How did this not get an Emmy? Give me one reason why it did not win."

@@Jotunn96 It does. That is why I like it here. I just do not know if The Mysterious Mr. Enter does. Unless he likes it for that reason, despite him saying "there is no reason to even try and attempt this anymore" this episode just feels like another Animated Atrocities #145 in my mind.

Not comforting u fiend

@@notyouraverage1saiah660 It's kinda comforting after knowing he's alive. "This is it. Now you know. Make it count."

@@notyouraverage1saiah660 it's comforting to know that you won't get suffered by an evil monster after you die, but at the same time it's terrifying to know you will not exist anymore.

It is weird because physics say that nothing exists from nothing and nothing becomes nothing. So my take on this is that our consciousness also should not turn into nothing after death. Physics say so.

There’s nothing, you won’t exist to realize you’re not there. You just won’t be. You weren’t upset you weren’t there for the billions of years before you existed, because you weren’t existing. Same thing afterwards.

I was wondering why it hit me so hard - but you absolutely nailed it.

@@SnowCatKroe thank you. I was wondering that too at first. The moment she spoke I felt it. Took me a minute to realize what they were doing with her voice. Especially when he asked if they can stay on the phone and she said "Ok".

@@Shadow12gard Absolutely, I was honestly sobbing at that part! For me that scene (heartbreaking as it was) honestly made that episode more impactful than the poem did. The voice actress also did a stellar job conveying that sort of... Hollowness.

Seemed more like a callback to season 2 where she tells Bojack after he dumped Wanda that Mr. Peanutbutter would ask how her day was and she gave the same exact response

Yo... Not gonna lie, for some reason this scene evoked a weird sense of familiarity with me, and I couldn't put my finger on why till I read your comment.

I think it represents where she says something like I don’t wanna talk about my day I just wanna say it was good you know

It's a callback to season 2, episode 10. Diane: I should. I know I should. I wish I could just go home right now and crawl into bed and not have to talk about anything or explain anything. He would just say, “How was your day?” And then he would say, “Hey, did you know the monorail was invented by George Monorail?” And I would say, “I don’t think that’s true.” And he would say, “Well, if he didn’t invent it, he certainly perfected it.” And I wouldn’t have to say, “I’m sorry I left. I’m sorry I made things so difficult. I’m sorry I’m not the person I thought I was.” I would just say, “My day was good.” And he would say, “I love you.” I interpret this as meaning that Bojack's final thought is his love for Diane.

It’s even a callback to S2 when Diane was talking with Bojack on the balcony and was telling him about how she wishes she could just go home to mr. peanut butter and say that her day was good.

it reminded me of when bojack and diane were talking and diane said after coming home from that foreign war country early " I wish I could just go home and he (Mr PB) would ask hows ur day and I would say my day was good"

Not sure if it's been mentioned but it's actually a callback to season 2

It's sad that you already saw such big spoilers but hey you still have time to watch it!

Whether or not you've seen the show, I don't think it matters with this scene. It doesn't matter if you have the context or if you know who the characters are and what their relationships were with each other. The message is clear and the emotion is undeniable. Having seen the show around six times (currently watching it again,) and having seen countless reviews on it, this scene is by far my favorite in the entire series. It sticks with you like nothing else. It truly is incredible.

you MUST watch it

I think it saved a lot of people. Glad you're still here.

❤ I live with suicidal ideation. I have dark thoughts often. The poem and this entire scene in general bring me back and ground me.

Glad u made it homie ❤

​@@dartagnanhenry4492What the actual fuck is wrong with you? It might be two years ago, but seriously, what the fucking hell? Why the fuck are you encouraging someone to kill themself with a gun? That's so fucked up.

I actually think Alison Brie's performance is better, academically. She had a subtle, harder, performance to do here and she nailed it. It's not the kind of performance you think is critical to the scene, but she sells a sort of casual, authoritative, kind but distant tone that just raises it to another level.

@@hardcasewhanau1379 thank you, it's getting better. Better to the point I'm glad I made the choice not to jump.

I commented on this video only 2 or 3 months ago, and at that time I really wanted to die from how hopeless and overwhelmed I felt by life. At that point I hadn't remembered a time in my life where I didn't feel like I wanted to die. But a few months ago I also was able to get a ketamine prescription. My psychiatrist was so compassionate that even though it was new to them, they had colleagues that were familiar with it and they decided to learn what they'd need to do to get me into a program for it and get me a prescription. And I've found a dose that works for me and since I've been taking it that way I haven't wanted to die. I saw notifications people had replied to me here and realized wow, that was only 2 or 3 months ago that I wanted to die and it feels like such a far memory. I don't have my life together yet, but my feelings of "I'm so overwhelmed and useless I shouldn't exist" changed to "Life is hard but I can try, even if I fail, lots of people try and fail but go on." and that's changing my life for the better. I'm picking up the pieces. But I see my friends around me that I know still struggle with wanting to die and feeling empty and I don't know what to do other than support them and have hope for them. I mean the ketamine worked for me but it's not like it's for everyone or that it's some grand miracle. I'm still in therapy, I still have work to do. I just wish I could give my newfound feelings of hope and motivation to everyone feeling despair, but it's each person's journey. So wish my friends good luck 🤞 and if you're struggling I wish you all the best in getting peace of mind and drive for living.

@@zombieponcho I am very glad to read this. Don’t give up, not without using all the tools available to us.

We're happy to still have you around :)

Same

Awesome catch. It may be his own mind speaking, but as others have noted, it is Bojack coming to terms with everything he has done, and that this might be it. And all that might have been left for him, is being with loved ones and ensuring they are well.

"I can't save you..." Kills me everytime

It was the peanut Diane telling him that It's not too late to be the person you want to be. And this another hallucination Diane tells him It's too late. Bojack thought about how Diane would think of him in two instances. But both times she couldn't save him.

The_amazing_dust t err drRdzrfyq

But it wasnt too late. Doesn't the ending show Bojack on the road of improvement?

Remember. Sarah Lynn also waited 17 minutes.

herb didn’t die from cancer tho

@@-.-u.uwe.o The rest of it fits though, so could just be writers regretting the peanut gag so they ignored it here, or Bojack still subconsciously picturing the cancer as what killed Herb (Cause the last time he ever saw Herb he was sickly with it, he only ever heard about the peanut stuff second-hand)

There's also their last meals when they die, in that dinner scene it's what they ate last

Sarah also didn't jump into the door for exactly 17 seconds.

That'll be because Secretariat is a stand-in for Butterscotch. Beatrice probably wanted him dead the whole time since having Bojack.

and that kind of anxiety is worse than any other

Conner Moore I just get chills watching the whole episode.

I had a panic attack watching this episode

So I never suffered anxiety. Never an anxious person, not in a sense that I'd start having anxiety attacks and whatnot. But as season 6 started airing I got diagnosed with high blood pressure, like super dangerously high, so I started meds... and anxiety became a side effect... I don't do well with existential crises at the best of times, but watching this episode triggered an anxiety attack. The sense of dread which overcame me was like nothing I'd ever experienced before. My vision tunnelled out, the sound of the episode became background noise, I could feel my heart trying to tear itself from my chest, my breathing was equally quick yet laboured. My hands clammed up, my jaw locked, and I was overcome with a cold sweat. I spent a good portion of the episode trying to control my breathing, trying to clear my head, but then this poem was being read out and it felt real. I felt like I was half way down. It made me tremble and cry. Everything came together in such a way that simply overwhelmed the senses. Watching this video here is the first time I've revisited the episode since its release. I'm on different medication now and the anxiety has went away, but I'll never forget how it felt in the moment. How I felt like I was drowning before I'd even hit water. Like I needed to swim up but couldn't physically bring myself back from over the edge. Anxiety is a shitshow, but my brief experiences with it has massively opened my eyes to what some people have to deal with on a daily basis. So many people just don't understand it. That sudden sense that sweeps over you like you literally feel like you're about to die and there's no reason, no rhyme, and often times not even a noticable cause as to why you even begin to feel that way. Your mind is constantly in a state of fight or flight, and it's stressful when you can't control it. I was always on edge. Always angry. I knew it wasn't "me", but 90% of my brain function was going on the anxiety, leaving me completely incapable of doing even the simplest of tasks correctly or even being at my friends' house and playing board games like we've done a million times before. I had to escape to my car just to calm myself down. I'm lucky my anxiety was only drug-induced and I could get rid of it by changing medication. I couldn't handle feeling like that all the time. Fuck anxiety.

nada kassem ME TOO OMG ME TOO I’m happy to know I’m not the only one

Same. This episode was so beutiful and sad at the same time I cried so hard. It made me reflect on my own life in a way I haven't in a long time, reflect on my depression, how I'm sometimes in dark places. After I was done reflecting I realised that Herbs message was the best when Bojack tries to stop the show: "we are all going to die, so for now try to just enjoy the show". That is the message I'm going to try to think about whenever I'm having dark thoughts. Because when you have depression it's easy to get stuck on all the mistakes you did in the past, and think that you will also be a screwup in the future so maybe it's easier to just end it. I cannot even put into words how much this episode means to me. It's so impactfull in all the right ways I started bawling my eyes out the second the show part started with Sara Lynns song.

this show fucking saved me a few years ago man

@@zebnemma who asked

“That’s too much man” is still my favorite one in the series for the amount of emotion it was able to bring out of me, specially anxiety.

Not as many sponsors and whoring of characters for ads I guess...

I love Rick and Morty to death but the storytelling this final season was on another level, it deserved more.

@@fapple6240 yeah definitely. The only episode of Rick and Morty that I think is close to Bojack Horseman quality is The Ricklantis Mix-up. Every other episode doesn't stand a chance. Especially since in my opinion Bojack Horseman only has 2 episodes I'd consider bad.

Same

I think that he's still alive because he still has hope. There is still a chance for him to turn around and get better, and although we'll never see it, I'm sure if he tries to move forward, people will continue to remind him of his past, and he will see no future and end himself like Secretariat, but in the future of his world in the show

I agree pinned this

The creators always made it clear they wanted Bojack to not end entirely happy but in a way to leave some hope but leave out the possibility for everyone if not only Bojack to fall into their mistakes or old habits after finally fixing their lives. So it could connect with the audience that we can all struggle to get the life that we want but to make it clear that we can make mistakes but still make them up.

By the way: when Diane was living with Bojack, she told him she would love to return to home without talking about her "failure". She wouldn't say “I’m sorry I left. I’m sorry I made things so difficult. I’m sorry I’m not the person I thought I was." Mr Peanutbutter would just say, “How was your day?" and she would say, “My day was good.”, and her husband would say “I love you.”

This comment should be pinned. I forgot how heart-wrenching this is to watch when you've lost someone close to you from it. What if she changed her mind?

Reminds me of my dad. That’s why I love watching this show so much. It all reminds me of him.

This should be pinned. At the end of Secretariat's poem, I literally break down crying all night because my friend did the same thing. I guess she saw the view from the halfway down.

I watched it at the worst time imaginable.

TW: SUICIDE My uncle committed suicide by jumping off of a high building. This hit me so hard & I had no idea it was coming. But I’ve weirdly been comforted by this scene. I can’t stop watching it.

How I feel with my ex. I can't stay on the phone with her anymore though.

Your English is great, don't you worry. All the best to you.

Sometimes you need to vent, im glad you found something to help. If you ever have to vent let me know! I know it helps me

this hit so deep. your not alone and thank you for sharing

It really does work with any friend. I had a real shitty weekend, couldn’t reach my boyfriend, my best friends, but I reached out to that one person in my friend group I’ve never hung out with 1-on-1 and we just talked. That meant the world to me

Yeah..

I've been watching clips of this episode and analyses of the final season over and over, and every time I think I've found every nuance and fresh opinion, every bit of symbolism carried over from episodes past, someone reveals something new. man

@@SaltpeterTaffy I know what you mean, the writing is on a completely different level from anything else that I've ever seen.

Jesus. After reading this, I got the most intense goosebumps rewatching the scene.

That's ridiculously clever. It also works as a way of it feeling more personal. At first we are observers at a distance and by the end it feels like we are in the thick of these emotions. It gives the poem momentum, like it is rushing towards something. Brilliant and terrifying.

Shieeeeeeeet, this show is deep

Niniane17 Amazing analysis. Crazy!

this episode has many layers of depth to it that even a 20 minute video couldn't even explain everything that is going on.

@@steven7936 exactly, everything in this episode was like a trowback to the other seasons

Everytime I hear beatnik I think of Beat Nick from the final season of TWD game XD

Thanks !

Right? So good!

It was mind-throttling. Bojack lost everything, from the respect of his former colleagues, from his only family member who gave him solace, and even lost his legacy that was "Horsin' Around" because the execs just wanted damage control. Even though Diane was likely his final tie towards wanting to keep living, he felt like he had nothing more to lose by this point. ..... And even when he lived beyond this moment, he lost her too, so Bojack was pretty much back where he started.

It’s to show that bojack twisted himself into this and there’s no way to get out of it luckily... he got a second chance

Yogurt Slayer23 isn’t he dead?

@@natpeterson5689 no he survived unless u wanna cling to the fan theory that he did die and the last two episodes are in his head but I don't buy it because 1. Why does the heart monitor start beeping 2. He hates mr peanut butter so why is he there and 3. How come hollyhawk hasn't unblocked his number and is in the last episode.

Rick and morty isn’t even funny

*was* funny

@@knell-zh7do still is funny but yeah this deserved the emmy

Rick and morty does have a deep meaning too

@@ocytocine96 No, it doesn't, it just has "random nonsense equals both deep AND funny somehow".

The final shot of Bojack being consumed by the tar cutting into the credits while a flatline sound plays gives me chills every time.

@@hopper8514 fucking same

@@hopper8514 Part of me wishes that would have really been the ending of the show. Everything that comes afterwards is just so much more depressing, especially when it comes to Diane. She gives up herself completely, allowing that guy with the helper syndrome to emotionally force her into using psychotropic drugs, which change her entire personality. The "puffed up" side effect of those drugs made me think even more about how many people who work in modern media, actually use such stuff to be able to "function" the way they do in this extrovert society.

@anaferreiramattos You know nothing about depression if you think it's a good idea to tell another depressive stranger to "shut your mouth forever". It shows you lack the sensibility to make sense of my words and fear of losing oneself. The series clearly shows that it's not all that easy and that it's up to the viewer to make your own conclusions. But it's directly stated that the guy has a (helpless) helper syndrome and that is another issue I had personal experience with in the past. Edit: The use of psychotropes is extremely high in the USA, compared to other countries. There are far better ways if getting in touch with a real good therapist who doesn't just subscribe meds, but actually listens.

@anaferreiramattos No problem, thanks for apologizing. I also became a little emotional and didn't mean to sound ambiguous in my first post, so I'm also sorry if you got me wrong. Just thought maybe someone reads here who feels the same. Such a topic is highly individual when it comes to different experiences and different ways to deal with them. I was serious when I said that it rather depresses me more what happened to Diane. That doesn't mean that it's always wrong to use meds, for some people it's surely the best, but especially in the USA there's a preference to subscribe psychotropes first, and then ask for other options, when it should be the other way around. Diane had a complex personality and throughout the whole series, it's shown how she has issues to find herself in all of this and to really be herself among others. Everything around her is of course counterproductive, living around all the superficial media people and with too much stress put on her. But she has ambitions, something she strives for inside. It's not shown in the series that she talks about all of this with a therapist and tries to discover her true self. What we get to see is rather how she gives in to what her boyfriend says, more than it was a personal decision. And what psychotropes often do, and what I took from those scenes, is how they made her suppress her problems and change her character, instead of really getting to the core of her problems. Such meds are there to fight the symptoms, not the cause. To make people "function" the way the society wants them to. And I can't unsee the little details, how both the boyfriend and the manager want her to deliver something soon that makes money, so she is told to do something to finally finish a book. It's pure pressure that feels highly uncomfortable to me. As for Bojack, as an Alcoholic in a therapy you usually also don't take meds. You mainly talk and reflect your life decisions, and we are shown how Bojack tries exactly that. I was in relationship with a drinker when I was younger, and in this case it's the other way around, it's the alcohol abuse that can change a person's personality pretty bad. Egoism, narcism, extreme jealousy, it was similar with the person I know, just without the big money.

same

Me too legit just wrote a comment like this

Same 😭

It’s an amazing show

Duuude you spoiled it yourself.

Hope ur doin better homie

Same, man. Hang in there.

Your edit makes me really happy to see. Stay strong stranger

Than* from the ground

Omg ur comment is so long it has TWO read more buttons

The most fascinating thing for me about this poem is the change of the subject. First it starts in 3rd person, than in 2nd and finally in 1st like a countdown to his death (3,2,1)

@@Bruce4103 I see it more as, he’s almost disconnected from his actions. I know that when I personally was depressed, you almost feel as though you’re away from your body watching it go through the motions. But I’m the moments before death he starts to realize what’s happening, he’s pulled back into his immediate perspective.

@@AshofTheAbyss Remember season 1 episode 12 this scene is what went through Secretariat's mind when he jumped, first he was grateful but changed his mind and wanted to survive but as we know he didn't

When the screen went black I cried so hard because I thought exactly the same: this is it.

@@terezafrankova8724 I accidentally slipped my finger and saw the thumbnail of the last episode. From my quick glance I saw Mr peanutbutter giving a speech next to something lower that was darkly coloured. I panned away, thinking I just saw him giving a eulogy at a funeral. The description - something about good people meeting for a celebration - also applied to a funeral. When I saw this episode - I wholeheartedly thought bojack killed himself. The start of the finale was a n absolute mind-fuck. The 'funeral' btw was Mr peanutbutter giving a speech about Hollywoob on a podium, and people lower than him looked like the coffin

It's a genius callback to that, but it's also supposed to represent that life goes on, even when you die.

And it's particularly touching when you go back to Downer Ending. Back then, she was his realization that he was a bad person and needed to change. Now, though, after all that happened, she is the one to comfort him. Sometimes, the ones we hate for telling us the truth are the ones we truly need by our side forever. Diane was his most important connection to reality, just as she was in this episode.

Honestly my heart broke at the realization that the last thing Bojack’s dying brain could think of to comfort himself before death was the hope that Dianne had a good day

mhm

Yes exactly

@@Sam-qv8dq Eh, not really. The point is that his time is over. So it doesn't matter what he does- the chance to do anything has passed.

@@wd3185 and that's supposed to be haunting lol?

@@Sam-qv8dq No, that's exactly my point- it's not haunting, but it's not comforting, either. It merely is.

that phone call made me bawl my eyes out when i first heard it

If you think about it, he’s in the same position that Sarah Lynn was in that one episode when they were recording horsin around

@@Pokefan3332 omg I thought about the same thing

Same dawg, hope ur doin better
