I want to hear the theories that you gotta stretch before you reach for, but that you still genuinely believe and are willing to defend.

    As far as the Hollywoob sign and the observatory, if you’re talking about their physical location relative to eachother you can see one from the other.

    I just rewatched the finale and while I don’t think I’m fully convinced, I can definitely see where you’re coming from and I like this take. The wrap-up with each character did feel a bit too neat, not like how it would actually go at a wedding(even in bojack’s universe), and each conversation did give off some deathbed vibes, especially Bojack and PC.

      Nah, I mean in the show. But I just realized they show the sign at the very end of S1E12, so they’ve made that link before and PB stopping there isn’t as strange as I thought it was.

      I agree that the wrap-up of each character feels too neat, especially when we’ve spent so much time seeing how messy everyone is. When I first saw it, I was disappointed that the writers would go with such a basic “PC and Diane are married, therefore they’re happy now,” but now I think it has a lot of significance because it’s just the sort of facade you would present to someone you won’t see again.

      A funny detail is that the jury is full of people whom BoJack has offended in some way (e.g. the Home Depot elephant he insults, the Princess Bride guy, and Neal McBeal). That could be his subconscious eating away at him, though it could also simply be a result of a corrupt legal system or incredibly shitty luck.
