Okay, so in the last season after Bojack’s show wraps up, the character of Sassy becomes really famous and she gets many offers. But I often think about this one scene where she refuses to do an action scene due to Bojack almost strangling her to death.Later the producer advises another to not choose her as the lead indicating she is a ‘diva’ . The show was very subtle with her character arc, and you know somewhere Bojack had fucked up her emotionally and professionally. Her trauma was huge and the way they showed it’s impact was quite impressive.
I love the addition of the Fireflame billboard because there is so much implied by it. Fireflame is Kelsey Jannings film. At one point we see Kelsey talking to the director of the show where Gina is “being difficult.” He says something about how Gina used to be great to work with but now he can’t recommend her. Then we see from the billboard that Kelsey went with Gina anyway, potentially saving Gina’s career. I like to imagine Kelsey, having also been hurt by Bojack, put two-and-two together regarding the strangle interview, guessed why Gina was struggling, and decided to risk it and help her. I like to imagine Gina flourishing under a director that “saw her,” maybe Kelsey making a comment about what a piece of work Bojack was and Gina realizing Kelsey had her back. Gina seeing that her career isn’t over and having some space to start healing.
