I... don't even know where to start.
For the longest time, times arrow has been my favourite episode, I always switched back and forth between some episodes but by the time this season dropped it stayed on top. But this episode....
It gave me an existential dread of death, and it was just one of the most painful half hours I ever had to sit through, it said so much in the 27 minutes it had, perhaps even more than free churro, while having way less dialogue. This is probably the most daring episode of any show I have ever seen. I would like to talk more specifically for a bit:
Throughout the episode, we see Bojack in a dinner house party at his mothers house with all the people he's lost in his life, and this idea was simply genius. It gave the viewers this false hope, that he could make amends with those he lost. But it was all a farce, and bojacks mind was just telling him what he had to do before he died. This can also be circled back to a talk he and Doctor Champ had where Champ mentioned that Bojack already talked about the weird dinner party dream he had. Bojack thought that while he was there, he would eventually wake up, and escape the tar trying to swallow him, but he couldn't.
One of the most depressing scenes involved Bojack and his dad going out for a smoke, and talking about how his dad always loved him, but he set up invisible barriers because he was afraid. The saddest part about this scene was that it was just Bojack's brain trying to give him closure with his dad, and none of this was real. It hurt a lot to see this happen.
There were also some very minute details that foreshadowed the end of this episode. Such as Bojack tasting chlorine in the water he was given, because he was actually drowning in his old homes pool.
The moment where Bojack called Diane to talk to her and he made the revelation that she couldn't be there to help him was one of, if not, the most depressing moment in the entire show, and I teared up. This episode was remarkable...
Wow this was dark but this episode was... perfect. I've never felt such an emotional joyride watching anything, but then again, this is Bojack Horseman, and I don't expect any less.
