Since I initially forgot to add the scene with Beatrice demanding Bojack sing the lollipop song, here’s an edit with it added in: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKeTpdeFv7WcqXk.html

Considering this song only exists in Bojack’s head maybe he has an undiscovered talent for music.

There's a very subtle difference in the version with gina vs. Sarah Lynn. Gina says "until the curtains fall." In theater, once you are off stage, you're free to move out of character. When the show ends, you're done. Sarah Lynn says "'Til the curtain call." The curtain call is the end, coming out to bow, accept your praise. Gina suggests that once you can't be seen, you can stop. Sarah Lynn's suggests that even in death, she has to keep dancing; in the form of her lasting legacy being abused and used for the benefit of others.

Secretariats speech was terrifying

It's so depressing how Gina tells Bojack to not say anything about abusing her, because she wants to be known for something. Not as someone who was abused by Bojack.

“And you don't think you have power over women.”

The hands on Sarah Lynn’s shirt gave me chills. She wore the same outfit to Herb’s funeral, but it was also implied that her stepfather molested her when she was little. That whole sequence was just haunting.

Sarah Lynn is definitely most fitting for the reprise she dedicated her entire life to show and she didn’t stop dancing until she dropped

Before Sara Lynn fell through the door, she said “don’t stop dancing-“ she never finished the whole line/chorus: don’t stop dancing till the curtains calls” indicating that she ended the line early and also her life ended too early

Bojack did a lot of bad things but the worst thing he ever did was stealing a meal from Neal Mcbeal the navy seal

"A song you taught me when I was small" god damn that's so sad

Every body is talking about Sarah Lynn, but nobody's talking about how Gina can actually sing.

I love how this song is sung by the two women he screwed up the most. Sarah lynn and Gina deserved better....

Notice how she looks down through the door for a while before falling. Do you think that in those 17 minutes, she was alive, staring at death in the face until it was too late?

I love how in both renditions there isn't a satisfying end, one is abrupt and the other trails off.

Just realized that Gina is dressed like Judy Garland, an actress who was abused and driven to drugs by Hollywood, in her “Get Happy” number 😟

"Life is a never ending show" "Shows are a never ending life"

He made up the song in his head both times

if there's anything musical theater has taught me, it's that reprises are bound to make me cry

Stephanie Beatriz is a gem. No wonder why she got casted as Mirabel for Encanto. Her voice is so beautiful, and the song is catchy. On the other hand, from the perspective of Sarah Lynn, it just makes me cry. Her whole life was a public show and even when she died, everything was so public. I love this show.

Sarah Lynns last line in the whole series is Don't Stop Dancing....

"A song you taught me when I was small, Dont stop dancing, dont stop dancing" Meanwhile she stares at the abyss...

Original: A great bop that is just entertaining Reprise: Still a bop but with tears

When Sarah Lynn cut Bojack's apology off, it's such a small detail that maybe ssys a lot. We find out later this is all just in Bojack's head as he's drowning, so why have her cut him off in the one moment he can finally talk to her, even if it's in his own head? Deep down, he probably realizes it doesn't matter. He's apologized to people he's hurt countless times, thinking that will solve things, but it doesn't. It won't change that Sarah Lynn is dead, and it won't ultimately change how he feels about it. Deep down, he knows that's true with everyone he's ever apologized to. And he needs to sit and listen to someone he's hurt, someone he abandoned, without his defense mechanisms of interjecting or arguing or projecting or demeaning himself. He has to just watch, as part of the audience, instead of the performer that ultimately made and killed Sarah Lynn.

One thing to also notice is in ginas version, she refers to life ending as the curtains falling, but Sarah Lynn refers to it as the curtain call. If you’ve ever participated in a school play or anything of that nature, you’ll know curtain call is when all the actors come out on stage and take a bow, it technically happens after the show is over (I.e. the curtain falling) I think of this as performing until people see the real you, not the character you put on every day to make people think you’re put together. This is what Sarah Lynn does her entire life. Instead of living genuinely until the show is over, she performs until her true messy self outweighs the image she displays. Just a neat thought.

Sarh Lynn holding her nose right before diving into the darkness reminds me of her first scene, where we see her depicted as Ophelia; she drowns - not in water, but from the pressure.

This song the second time is truly terrifying this episode f me up

this show is one if those rare masterpieces that will never be forgotten

Oh, man, I hate to admit it, but I didn't even notice it was the same song until now.

I legit thought this was the last episode and that’s why theme song always ends with Bojack falling in a pool

sarah lynns reprise made me beyond emotional

Is Sarah Lynn using “old sport” in her version of the song a reference to The Great Gatsby, where the main character dies in a pool much like how Bojack almost died?

Watching these back to back... It's absolutely haunting.

Just a reminder that Netflix cancelled this and kept Big Mouth

“a song you taught me when i was small” flash back to bojack talking to young sarah lynn when she was under the table on the set of horsin around

When Bojack realises in the view from half way down that he had drowned, he realised 17 minutes in.

The whole bit about “The chatter stops, the crowed departs” and just how everyone forgets all about you once you die. I had a moment when I first saw this

The creepiest thing to me is that the first time I watched The View From Hallway Down and I saw her sit at the piano I immediately thought about Gina's song, so when Sara Lynn said "life is a-" I had to pause it and just sit for a minute becuase how the hell did I know she was gonna sing that

3:17 oh my god i cant believe sarah lynn invented montero

The only time Gina can actually sing is when Bojack is in a pill-induced hallucination

Don’t stop dancing.... his mom didn’t stop dancing in ginas song until her coffin closed...

"You don't want that, for everything to be fine. How dreadfully boring" I felt that on so many levels. Sometimes I feel like I like to be depressed.

I love that it's Gina who's singing, she finally had a meaningful singing role and it's inside the mind of the guy she hates

Can you believe people watched through this entire show and never thought it deserved an Emmy? Mind boggling

I like how Sarah lynns reprise isn’t exactly sung in a sad ballad format. The beginning is slow, but gina’s definitely had the vocal upper-hand. Anyone who doesn’t know the context behind these characters wouldn’t be able to fully get the emotional impact of the reprise since it’s fueled by characterization. It doesn’t rely entirely on the music for an emotional reaction

(Gina) Original: Life is a never ending show, my friend A twisting turning ever bending show The audience is everyone you know, my friend, leave them with smile when you go You can bet that you’re a star, so don’t forget how fun you are Get up there and give it your all And don’t stop dancing, don’t stop dancing till the curtains fall You are a rotten little cog, mon frère Spun by forces you don’t understand Living is a bitter, nasty slob mienn herr Why not sell your sadness as a brand? Take your face, and brush your mane, and find some place to cut your pain to portions we can buy at the mall And don’t stop dancing, no you can’t stop dancing till the curtains fall (awe shucks!) Today’s the day you got the spark to find a way to make your mark and get your tiny name on that wall So don’t stop dancin, baby, don’t stop spinin’ don’t stop beltin’ buddy now we’re winnin’ Grief consumes ya but ya just keep grinnin’ The ache becomes ya and it’s just beginnin’ Don’t stop dancing, nothing certain but the curtain Sarah Lynn Reprise: Life is a never ending show, old sport; except the minor detail that it ends The overtures a lifetime but the show is short Here with all your family and friends You run the race you blurt your lines, they put your face on shirts and shrines and giant signs a thousand feet tall And don’t stop dancin, don’t stop dancin till the curtain calls Shows are a never ending life of course, A silhouette that stays when you are gone What’s uses the struggle and strife old horse End it and your legacy lives on The chatter stops, the crowd departs, a needle drops, the music starts A song you taught me when I was small- don’t stop dancing, don’t stop dancing

"Do you ever wonder what would have happen if you didn't take those 17 minutes?" jfc

"Why not sell your sadness as a brand?" Sad dog

Congrats to Bojack Horseman on The Emmy Nomination for The View From Halfway Down!!!

My favorite part of the first sequence is how Gina is performing it like a Broadway musical, which was her dream to be in, and which Bojack feels guilty over for having pushed her to pursue. His subconscious is such a brutal critic; it's delicious irony and great attention to detail by the staff writers. I can't believe I missed it on my first go of it.

something i only just noticed is how the way Sarah Lynn’s song progresses represent the life she lived. At the start we see her playing the piano, her voice is soft- innocent. This represent her naïvety as she joined the show business. But as the beat drops and she goes down the pole it’s heavily auto tuned and uses a fast backing track. This, I assume, represents how she had no control of the velocity of her fame- how artificial her life became. The pole represents how sexualised she became, how she falls down the pole ultimately representing her downfall. I also thought it was interesting of how the piano starts on the floor and rises upwards as she speeds up- showing her rise to fame. Then the ending, empty, solemn. She was so alone at the end of her life, she had nothing, no one. The backing track is soft, but she isn’t controlling it- this represents her grasp on life is gone- the drugs have taken over, they control her life now. This was probs really obvious but I found it really cool.

Who cares if Bojack is having a complex mental breakdown after many traumatic moments under the heavy influence of drugs, the song is fire

This is a weird thing to like, but I like that Sarah Lynn's voice is still very uh Sarah Lynn

I like how the version for Gina is “when the curtains fall” because of her interest in musical theatre whereas the version for Sarah Lynn is “til the curtain call” because she was in an actual tv setting, just a cool little detail

Note the "aw shucks" line, and remember that Gina's favourite musical is all about corn.

Best Villain Song Ever. Bojack is his own worst enemy and his mind is the true villain.

The amount of self sabotage expressed in the first half, "You don't want everything to be fine, how dreadfully boring". it's actually worrying how relatable this part can be, it's depressing.

"a needle drops, the music starts, a song you taught me when i was small. don't stop dancing. don't stop dancing." its very fitting that this is the final line she ever speaks in the show before dropping into the abyss. she was lamenting that that Bojack was the one that taught her that. Bojack told her back when she was a child 'don't stop dancing' and that in the end became her life mantra. he taught her that song when she was small and she kept on dancing until the day she dropped. and since this all takes place in Bojack's head, _he is telling this to himself_ this show is a god damn work of art.

I love how this proves that Gina was actually cut out for Broadway, and was just nervous for the audition

Sarah Lynn last line in the entire series was in bojack's head. "Don't stop dancing." Which is the mantra she lived her life by mostly thanks to Bojack. Her last line before she died was "I want to be an architect." A reflection of what she wanted to be, something, that in that episode, Bojack ignored.

"a song you taught me when I was small" will always give me chills

Gina’s song has the line “don’t stop dancing till the curtains fall” which means she had the ability to stop after the shows were over. Sarah Lynn had the line “don’t stop dancing till the curtain call” and a curtain call is where the actors stay behind after the shows to talk to the fans, answer questions, etc. and It’s so depressing because it shows that Sarah lynn had to keep dancing all her life even after horsing around even though she wanted to be an architect.

I feel like Kristin Schaal's singing voice isn't that great, when compared to Beatriz', but her delivery of the last line or two just hits so hard.

Season 5 Episode 11: I'm the most disturbing episode of Bojack Season 6 Episode 15 : Hold my beer

The call he had with Diane at the end left me in tears.. It reminded me of a time I tried overdosing and I just sat there wishing I had someone to call and it hurt a lot. Edit: thank you everybody for your support :) without you guys I wouldn’t have the motivation for everyday triumphs like I do now. Thank you so much for all of your support ❤️❤️

In case anyone doesn't know, the outfit Gina wears in her version of the number is a replica of the one worn by Judy Garland in the number "Get Happy" from the 1950 movie Summer Stock. Garland famously sang and recorded the movie while going through an extreme depressive crisis she was only barely recovering from after an extended leave. She went back due to a combination of her own thoughts about completing the film, but also largely due to the heavy pressure of executives, a pressure she'd felt since she was 16. Judy Garland died at 47 of an overdose, supposed to be self-inflicted.

Sarah Lynn staring into the abyss and then the echo of her voice before she jumps still sends shivers throughout my entire body.

“Find some way to cut your pain to portions we can buy at the mall” has always stuck with me. Those distressing lyrics paired with the upbeat music is just so haunting. Living is a nightmare, but you have to fake a smile and don’t stop dancing the whole way through

I never realized until now how when Sarah Lynn's song twists into the trippier music, it's the same beat as her song 'Prickly Muffin' from Season 1.

Turns out someone WAS trying to take him down, and she succeeded.

“A song you taught me when I was small” just breaks my heart, Sarah was doomed from the start with all the bad role models around her

Sarah lynns line" bojack, its my time" while it makes me laugh, it seems like it's because Bojack wants her to be remembered for her own thing, not him.

I love this homage to "Cabaret", thematically. This number seems heavily influenced by Sally Bowles' last song, "Cabaret", which is all about giving in to this lifestyle of self-absorption, addiction, and a never-ending chase after fame and success (which, in both this show and the musical, is never fulfilled and ends in misery or death).

If you watch this video 4 times in a row, that's about how long Bojack waited to call help for Sarah Lynn

When Sara Lynn said “don’t stop dancing” for the first time, my heart sank to my stomach.

How young her voice sounds when she says “a song you taught me when I was small” breaks me every time

2:46 The term “old sport” is used here by Sara Lynn and also In The Great Gatsby, where Gatsby would usually address people “old sport. He was shot and his body fell into his pool. Which is like Bojack almost drowning in his own pool.

the fact that in reprise the lyrics changed from "til the curtains fall" to "to the curtains call" is SICK

When i first saw this scene in "The View From Halfway Down" my first thought was that flashback to Bojack in Horsin Around where he told Sarah Lynn that no matter what, she can never stop dancing for the crowd. Forget which episode it was tho :/

grief consumes you but you just keep grinning

The fact that Sarah Lynn held her breath before she stepped out the door is absolutely brutal...

I love the subtlety of Gina's outfit being the same of Judys Garland in the famous "get happy" performance from Summer Stock (1950). It is so thematically appropriate and meaningful considering the lyrics and Garlands life itself

The most underrated part of this whole thing is Sarah Lynns costume design during her song. The hands all symbolise different parts of her life, the sexual abuse form her step-dad, the way she was taken advantage of in the show business and her addiction. And yet nobody points it out, even though it’s one of my favourite things in the show tbh..

The references to Cabaret, aka the darkest musical I’ve ever seen are so good and so fitting

Now as much as the reprise is simply terrifying, I cannot be the only person who’s here because the original is a BOP

Reprise of Don't Stop Dancing is my favorite song for Bojack. Creepy, and alluding to the problem of the entertainment industry all while maintaining the ominousness of it all.

The “View from Halfway Down” wasn’t excessively creepy, but it did have the right amount to make it terrifying. I just noticed the little details like the brick wall unexplainably opening for Sarah Lynn, and that the outlines of the windows around 3:12 are shaped like tombstones.

Life is a never ending show old sport. Except the minor detail that it ends. The overtures a lifetime but the show is short, here with your family and friends. You run the race, you blurt your lines, they put your face on shirts and shrines and giant signs a thousand feet tall. And don’t stop dancing don’t stop dancing til the curtain call. (Extends to show drugged Sarah Lynn). Shows are a never ending life of course. A silhouette they stays when you are gone. What use is the struggle and the strife, old horse. End it and your legacy lives on. (Sarah Lynn spins until her voice echos into nothingness). The chatter stops, the crowd departs, a needle drops, the music starts. A song you’ve taught me when I was small. Don’t stop dancing. Don’t stop dancing. (Sarah Lynn then looks into darkness revealing nothing after death. She then holds a breath and drowns.)

So glad they brought this song back for this episode. It will take a long time to recover from this one...

"grief consume you but you just keep grinning" god that hit me hard.

I think it's interesting how Gina's line is "until the curtains fall" and Sarah Lynn's is "until the curtain call". The former seems to be more sudden, like the curtains will fall without warning, and since you'll never know when, you can afford to ever stop giving your all even if it drains you completely. Even though Gina sings this, I think it actually fits better with Sarah Lynn's life. Sarah Lynn herself however says "curtain call" indicating that you'll have some notice or warning for when things are about to end and you don't have to keep straining yourself forever. Since it's pretty likely that Gina will go on to have a normal life and death after the show, my best guess is that they mirror each other's lives and deaths, similarly to how they mirror each other with the lines "life is a never-ending show" vs "shows are a never-ending life".

Things I noticed in this video- Don’t Stop Dancing (Original) 00:00 00:38 All of the people we’ve seen Bojack wrong in the series 00:45 Refrence to Sarah Lynn’s death in the planetarium 00:50 Bojack’s house, Bojack’s boat, the planetarium, Mr Peanutbutter’s old house, and the D from the Hollywoo sign Bojack stole for Diane 00:55 The show where Bojack’s letter to Secretariat was read (and where Secretariat gave the ‘don’t stop running’ speech) 1:08 Refrences to when Bojack took Beatrice’s doll, when Bojack slept with Charlotte’s daughter, when Sarah Lynn found the alcohol Bojack was drinking on-set when he was playing in Horsin’ Around, and when he stole Diane the D from the Hollywoo sign 1:15 Reference to when Bojack went to live in the Sugarman summer home 1:25 Refrence to when Bojack let go of the wheel whilst driving in a possible suicide attempt 1:35 Possible reference to the party where Beatrice met Butterscotch, and a reference to Beatrice’s death Don’t Stop Dancing (Reprise) 2:12 2:18 Sarah Lynn is wearing an inverted version of the outfit she wore to Herb’s funeral, the hands could be a possible reference to the abuse she faced from her stepfather 3:18 The song turns from a calm piano to a remixed, pop-type song similar to the music Sarah Lynn made as a pop star 3:48 A reference to the time where Bojack talks to a younger Sarah Lynn about how ‘you don’t stop dancing’ 4:05 Sarah Lynn holds her breath before jumping, possibly a reference to how a heroin overdose kills you by stopping your breathing (she also never finishes the last line, a possible reference to how her life was cut short) Thank you for reading! This took so long so I hope someone appreciates this-

3:40 - if you pause it here, you can see that Sarah Lynn's pose as she falls is the mirror image of a pose she struck in the "Prickly Muffin" music video (when it goes from the planetarium to the runway the first time).

I wanted so bad for Bojack and all his friends to be happy. He was a teacher. Peanut butter finally got that crossover episode (loved that scene) I prayed for a happy ending. But man they added a whole emotional roller coaster a

It’s mind blowing how Sarah Lynn’s version can be so hysterical yet so depressing at the same time, but isn’t it like that for the whole show already?

I honestly thought they were gonna show the scene from the Horsin Around set when Bojack instilled this lesson in Sarah Lynn when Sarah Lynn looked through the door, and I would NOT have been okay!

"A song you taught me when I was small." Sarah Lynn is directly telling BoJack that he taught her to be the way she was.

I just realized that when bojack mentions her mixing the wrong pills when sarah calls him for the Ethan around sequel. and she said that she was 8 months sober, he sober told her to “just stay sober” and she ended the call by saying “ugh call me when you’re ready to party” the next time the two hung out after that was when they went on the bender and she died!!

4:09 and in this moment, he knew, he fucked up
