Mr. Peanutbutter runs for Governor.

Mr peanut butter running for governor

Hollyhock having 8 dads is just fucked up.

Two gay dads would’ve sufficed with the whole “she explicitly doesn’t need another dad” point they were trying to make.

Bojack getting sued by Xeorox was fucking stupid too.

the pickles story was interesting when mr peanut butter cheated on her but then they dragged it out with her trying to sleep with other people then theres the fucking zoey smth character i still dont know what his purpose is

The Chickens episode was amazing, but I fully expect most people to miss the point completely. I have never before seen vegan messages being depicted honestly, without making it a ridiculous joke. It’s fantastic to see the hypocrisy of eating animals and the myth of humane animal farming called out so honestly. It’s refreshing to see the issue addressed so directly.

The Judge had some funny commentary on the entertainment industry but is otherwise really dull. Even Ralph’s family being racist kinda goes nowhere cause they eventually break up, but I guess that shows how people who really do care for each other doesn’t equate to compatibility

The whole underwater episode.

I can’t say that I wish it hadn’t happened, but I sure wouldn’t give a shit if it didn’t.

I hate that Bojack is solely blamed for Beatrice spiking Hollyhock with amphetamines.

I get that maybe Hollyhock would be reluctant to believe that the one mother figure she had in her life at that point in time, a frail old woman with dementia, was the one who fucked her up instead of the pill popping alcoholic half brother, but even after Bojack explains himself to her 7 fathers, even after enough time has passed that one can reconcile with the fact that it was actually not Bojack who did it, even after Hollyhock has the time to reflect on the fact that “omg Bojack was actually right when he tried to keep me away from his mother”, Bojack is the one who gets shit on. For the one messed up thing in their relationship that wasn’t on him.

Could Bojack have been more proactive in recognizing the signs of amphetamine use? Maybe. Truth be told though, how much of Hollyhock’s amphetamine behaviour resembled weird teenage habits anyway? Hollyhock was a weird teenager even without amphetamines. I don’t blame Bojack for not really looking into the weirdness. He had his own stuff going on too.

Can Beatrice, a person with dementia who doesn’t even recognize her own son, be reprimanded for spiking Hollyhock’s morning coffee? I’m not sure. That doesn’t mean she gets off scot free though. She might not have fully recognized her world, but she knew full well what she was doing when she put those pills in Hollyhock’s morning coffee.

Why is it also never acknowledged that Hollyhock didn’t heed Bojack’s very clear warnings about Beatrice either? None of this would’ve happened if Hollyhock just took Bojack’s word for it and left Beatrice alone after the first couple of meetings. Or if she just took his word for it and let him look for another retirement home to send her to instead of bringing her back home. Like, if someone I was pursuing a new family type relationship with told me to steer clear the fuck away from their own parent, who they tell you very explicitly was an abusive piece of shit to them for decades, I’m not gonna try my level best to establish any sort of connection with that parent. I’m not gonna visit them, I’m not gonna try to make them live with us, nothing.

Beatrice spiked Hollyhock’s coffee. Hollyhock pursued a relationship with Beatrice that Bojack explicitly told her not to. Somehow, all of this is Bojack’s fault though. Like, why?

PB’s run for governor. The episodes focused on it were some of the show’s weakest.

Me Peanutbutter’s affair and the aftermath was just awful. That’s not the same character we saw in the first five seasons. And the quest to be cucked was cringe as fuck.

Election

The whole putting the D back at the end and getting it wrong and having it say “Hollywoob” felt pointless

Todd and Yolanda. I get why they did it, and the lesson Todd learned was important to his development. Which was a great lesson that isn’t often talked about with LGBT+ characters in media, but that most LGBT+ people have to learn by going through it. That just because two people are the same sexuality and in spitting distance of each other doesn’t mean they should be together.

But I just hate Yolanda. Like as a character she’s boring and flat. She seemed more like a vehicle to teach Todd than an actual character. Which is pretty unfair when every other protagonists love interests are actually fleshed out, even if their purpose in the story is to teach the protagonists a lesson. Aside from that the episodes with Yolanda were just so skippable. I just with Todd and Yolanda’s storyline was better.

My least favorite story arc was Bojack’s cancellation.

I always felt that he was a broken person. His punishment for his misdeeds was living in misery with himself and his awful memories. Not necessarily deserving of prison but he certainly paid a price in his own life and I his social life. All of his misdeeds have nuance and mitigating factors

I think the root cause / blame for Sara Lynn belongs with her parents for pushing her into an adult environment with inadequate supervision.

I always like Bojack even though he’s an unreliable asshole. I kept waiting for Bojack to fix himself, that’s where I thought the show would go after he got out of rehab.

A lot of viewers feel he was responsible for Dr champ but he also tried to prevent it from happening and when he was too late, he tried to shield dr champ.

Doing the second interview was pure hubris especially since a competent manager advised him not to do it. Was his heart too big? He thought he would be helping other addicts.

So to a large extent, Bojack brought the shitstorm down on himself. But I feel the consequences were too harsh for an ultimately likable character.
