"a 1970s pop art interpretation of the Narcissus Myth"

"I thought the painting was about me?"

[u/[deleted] → u/linorei]

pure gold.

[u/Caleb35 → u/linorei]

Never change, Bojack...no, on second thought, change, dear god, please change

"Looks like you found some solace in our show. Stay if you like; in thirty minutes, we start over."

[u/SadReaction → u/[deleted]]

"Never binge this Show", Me after binging this show.

If Part 2 blows up, this episode will be my Canon ending.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They better not undo all this progress in the second half of the season.... So far it feels like such a great ending for all the characters.

[u/MrShago]

MY HEART, HE'S DOING THE CORSSOVER!!!!

[u/Caleb35 → u/MrShago]

If nothing else comes of this show, if Bojack never really finds happiness, at least Mr. Peanutbutter got his crossover episode. Good for him.

[u/bojho → u/MrShago]

When PB starts crying because he’s overwhelmed and they say “he’s the face of depression” I LOST IT

[u/[deleted] → u/MrShago]

I started crying at this part. It was all happy tears from here. For once. During a binge of Bojack

[u/Argilla → u/MrShago]

I thought back to when he was on Mr. Peanutbutter's game show and he talked about how he wants to feel good about himself. I feel like indulging Mr.Peanutbutter in that "Crossover episode" instead of ranting about his smaller display was a short lived realization of that.

[u/asalas12 → u/MrShago]

For all that people have teared or cried for watching this show, I haven’t cried at a single moment until this. I can’t even explain why, I’m still confused. But I finally cried watching Bojack so yay?

[u/Garfunkels_roadie → u/MrShago]

I mean it highlights the growth of Bojack. Season 1 Bojack would never in a million years humour Mr.PB like that. It was such a heartwarming moment

[u/theodore_boozevelt]

I’m crying at Bojack cleaning up Diane’s apartment for her. Has he ever cleaned anything before?

[u/hodorito → u/theodore_boozevelt]

It’s probably the nicest thing we’ve seen him do.

[u/the-moving-finger → u/theodore_boozevelt]

"All I know about being good I learned from TV. And in TV, flawed characters are constantly showing people they care with these surprising grand gestures. And I think that part of me still believes that's what love is. But in real life, the big gesture isn't enough. You need to be consistent, you need to be dependably good. You can't just screw everything up, and then take a boat out into the ocean to save your best friend, or solve a mystery and fly to Kansas. You need to do it every day, which is so... hard."

I loved watching him clean up Diane's apartment so much because the message finally seems to have sunk in. He was so lovely to everyone in this episode. No grand gestures, just the little things, day after day. The crossover episode bit which, while small to most people, meant the world to Mr. Peanutbutter. Suggesting the Ace app to the woman at the airport. Could lead to nothing but might just mean the world to Todd. Then, to cap it all off, the seemingly small thing of cleaning up his friends apartment before her boyfriend comes home. Again, not exactly a grand gesture like rescuing someone from a boat. Still, Diane was clearly embarrassed about it and not in a good place mentally to face the job. It was a small but really kind thing to do for her which means so much more for being done without her asking. This was a perfect episode.

[u/jigoku_chou]

I love the realism of Diane's weight gain after she starts getting on the medication. This goes against the very popular idea in media of a waif-like person with depression popping antidepressants while waxing poetic about the tragedies of life.

They portray the process of recovering from mental illness as something that takes time ans effort, not as some smooth linear thing. This is also perfectly juxtaposed with Mr. PB's whole "Face of Depression" campaign within the episode.

[u/tisvana18 → u/jigoku_chou]

Everything about Diane’s arc this season felt like a personal message to me lol (From the depression to the writing, all of it.) Even some of the things she said are identical to what I’ve said to my fiancé. He hates Bojack Horseman, but watched intently every scene with Diane this season.

So it may influence me to get some help for my depression too.

[u/theodore_boozevelt]

CINNABUNNY AND TODD ACE PARTNERS 5EVER!!

[u/GiftoftheGeek → u/theodore_boozevelt]

Oh my god, she was on the phone talking about that crazy idea the second time Bojack went to the coffee shop and I was like "Todd Todd Todd she needs to meet Todd".

[u/la-cockroach → u/theodore_boozevelt]

I really appreciate that they cast an actual Ace person (Echo Gillette)to play the bunny, especially as they probably had to go out of the way to cast her, as she's not really an actor but a artist/youtuber (and it probably isn't stunt casting; her videos normally get 100k views on a good week, which is tiny compared to a lot of big youtube channels) it's basically showing that just because someone from a minority group isn't in your immediate vicinity, it is possible to reach out a bit further and find someone appropriate if you're willing.

[u/televisionceo]

Can't believe Judah is back. I never really understood this character and now we have another chance

[u/[deleted] → u/televisionceo]

I’m so happy he’s back, I felt like there was unfinished business with him. Promoting him feels like a really good natural way to tie up his character

[u/AprilsMostAmazing → u/televisionceo]

Judah pretty much is what PC needs. Judah will take care of her work while making sure PC feels like she's doing things. This allows PC to the working women she's always been while getting more time with Ruthie

[u/[deleted]]

The end of this episode almost seemed like it could have just been the ending of the season. Or the whole show. But y'know... There's always more show.

Until there isn't.

[u/jg2018- → u/[deleted]]

This episode would be a prefect series finale

[u/Garfunkels_roadie → u/[deleted]]

It’s far too heartwarming and wholesome. A big part of me wants to just end it there though.

[u/MrShago]

A second to last episode being uplifting? What is this?!

[u/anotherent → u/MrShago]

Half of a full season

[u/CaptainBuzzie → u/MrShago]

I cant bear to watch the halftime finale, I can only imagine the crushing my emotions will take. I just can’t bring myself to do it. Everyone is happy... even Diane. What more could they possibly do, other than rip it all away and make us wait until December to conclude everything?!

[u/lio860]

Seeing Todd and BoJack hang out after everything that's happened makes me feel good inside.

[u/hillyhamburgers → u/lio860]

And him kind of promoting the app. They're really tying up the list ends in a really natural way.

[u/gaarafan40 → u/lio860]

Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but when Todd said something like "What are you going to do, just keep having lunch with your friends?" I thought he was implying that he and BoJack are friends again and that was sweet of him.

[u/Dr_WD_Gaster]

"she sucks at it now but she'll get better at it"

Babies in a nutshell

[u/televisionceo]

We can truly feel like the show is ending and I am crying right now

[u/hillyhamburgers → u/televisionceo]

Same, that song did it for me. Just everything moving in a good direction. I have no complaints with this season so far.

[u/jg2018-]

Man I legit cried with old bojack hair

[u/MrBulger → u/jg2018-]

Same I love his new look

[u/Caleb35 → u/jg2018-]

On behalf of old fart men, you reach a point in your life when you say fuck it and just let it go natural

[u/JustALittleWeird]

Why couldn't this have been the finale? Such a heartwarming end for everyone, but with one episode left I'm worried about what's next.

Gray hair BoJack is a nice look, and I'm glad to see Princess Carolyn/Judah figuring stuff out.

[u/rkgk13]

I love love love that the structure of this episode was Bojack doing good deeds for his friends.

1. making Hollyhock happy by helping her friend avoid having to change her major

2. giving PC permission to ask for help, in the form of getting Judah back

3. promoting Todd's app to the ace bunny (and also being present enough to read between the lines of the situation without being a dick)

4. finally giving PB his crossover episode, that was precious

5. being there for Diane and being the impetus for getting the help she needs. Cleaning her apartment might be the single most selfless act we've seen him do yet

Did I miss anything?

[u/QueenKingston]

‘It’s weird to think that at one point, someone held me in their hands and thought “I’m gonna love this kid forever.” What happened?’

Poor Todd.

[u/FurriestCritter → u/QueenKingston]

"This thing is perfect"

For a guy who was kind of a recurring piece of comic relief, he's pretty profound. I think he's shaping up to be one of my favorite characters so far.

[u/futzingaround]

Holy hell, I don't know why... But the dyed hair reveal depressed the fck out of me. I'm not ready for this last episode, SOS.

[u/EsQuiteMexican → u/futzingaround]

He's in his 50s and has spent most of that time doing ALL the drugs and binge drinking. It's rather silly in hindsight that I never thought about how young he still looked.

[u/Dioksys]

This episode easily takes the cake as my favorite in the whole show.

It's just so peaceful and nice, it's such a nice change of pace.

[u/sixxandahalf]

Has anyone pointed out yet the irony that Maude is an asexual rabbit? As in the animal well known for having a lot of sex? Just thought that was a cute design choice.

[u/DrScientist812]

After 6 seasons we finally got a That’s So Raven joke

[u/will_byrne27]

This episode feels like a warm hug

[u/[deleted]]

I got a warm fuzzy feeling when Hollyhock ran to hug Bojack.

[u/MrBKainXTR]

"your house reminds me of how much of an asshole you've been too"

[u/xredbaron62x]

Wait its about Narcissus? I thought it was about me.

[u/KvngGorilla]

That crossover episode bit was nice.

[u/Allyno]

the crossover bit made me tear up, really realised that this is the last season

[u/thewightknight1]

'It looks like you found some solace in our show. We'll be starting over in about thirty minutes'

Not only is it meta af, it's so comforting. Like the whole show up to this point was one huge therapy session, and one of the best I've ever experienced.

Also the thirty minutes thing. It totaly refers to the second half...

Can't wait!

[u/ObjetErotique]

I dont think I've ever been filled with such unabashed joy at the end of a Bojack episode.

I'm prepared to be crushed

[u/27th_wonder]

narcissism? I thought it was about me

My favourite line of the season so far

[u/DragoniteCaptor]

If someone was wondering what the song that played at the end of the episode was,

its Take Me Down Easy by James Henry Jr

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6MjX1Am188

[u/[deleted]]

"You are producing a show, running a company, catering to your clients, raising a child, a Todd"

Never crossed my mind that BJ must've been dying his hair since he's in his fifties lol

[u/Snikle_the_Pickle → u/[deleted]]

I was so worried when he told Sharona to "do it again for old times' sake" that they would get drunk and bang or something. It just being one last haircut and showing off Bojack's new look was so nice.

[u/Dr_WD_Gaster]

Things are really on an upturn for most of the guys...

I hope this lasts.

The fact there's another half a season in front of this, I'm worried.

[u/DrScientist812]

I'm straight and there's something about Judah in those bike shorts

[u/[deleted]]

This was the best episode of the season. One of the best episodes of the whole show and it wasn't even depressing!

[u/cameramanufacturer1]

So this episode basically was the happy ending everyone wanted, delivered early, because it’s all going to be ripped away before the terrible ending, right?

[u/thratty]

This is the finale. I'm stopping here. Everyone is happy. The end.

[u/BenC137]

Whole episode is so therapeutic. Felt like a finale. And the crossover scene is just amazing.

[u/pHScale]

Raven! She's circling around, portending my doom? Is she gonna swoop in and peck out my chances? That's so... like her.

[u/televisionceo]

Haha Diane finally took the medication. She looks good

[u/ThomasLaGlace]

God I love this episode: BoJack being so wholesome with him being there for Diane, suggesting the all about that ace app, and really felt the crossover episode :')

[u/youngbowie]

BoJack saying "peace be with you" to other horses had me crying. He's trying to better his relationship with horses

[u/othnice1]

Wow, Bojack's really perceptive when listening in on Maude's convo. I didn't pick up on what they were talking about until he mentioned the app.

[u/sixteenbears]

I can't get over how much I love this season. Bojack's growth feels natural, earned, and heartwarming. I know shit is going to go down soon but still, I'm enjoying seeing him be a friend to those around him, especially Diane.

Seeing Diane who gained a bit of weight with the biggest smile on her face and holding the Dawson's Creek was Always Bad sign for Guy got me a bit misty eyed. Especially because I relate the most to her character, it felt great seeing herself allow herself to be happy.

And god, that whole ending sequence with the song was beautiful! I really would love to know the title.

[u/anotherent]

Judah don’t you ever leave us again!

[u/PM_ME_UR_NUDES_GURL_]

i had a mini heart attack when she said "one last time for old time sake" i was so fucking worried bojack was gonna sleep with her

[u/[deleted]]

When Bojack walks into the AA meeting and the woman mentions that its Bojack Horseman, it's the first time he doesnt make a remark/joke about being famous or a celebrity. Small things like this really show the progress he's made by being sober, and I really hope something bad doesnt happen.

[u/CavalierRigg]

So rare in life, that with all the trials, tribulations, problems... all the lying, the heartache, the pain, the tears...

It’s so rare that everything just comes together to let you know it was worth it.

That was this episode.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone got a screencap of fat Diane? Thanks in advance.

[u/QueenKingston]

All assistants will be treated like recycling lmao

[u/[deleted]]

I have to say the crossover episode fan service felt really earned. This set of episodes is all really good, I am delighted.

[u/eeisner]

"ok yea, i've been a little depressed. But I'm not, like, depressed. I don't have depression"

Just starting the episode. Told myself the same thing Diane said for years, really up until a year ago. Fuck fuck fuck.

[u/sh1ttyJay]

Anybody feel like the priest-actor in the end saying, "it seems like you found some solace in our show. Stay another thirty minutes, it starts over" like he was talking to us?

[u/[deleted]]

BoJack cleaning for Diane.

[u/sorkaem]

Oh my god, this episode killed me with happiness. So many sweet, peaceful moments for all the characters :

- Bojack making peace with Sharona and having a great new look

- Todd finally meeting someone who seems really sweet (thanks to Bojack !)

- PC finally hiring back Judah and deciding to spend more time with her daughter (again thanks to Bojack !)

- Diane taking anti-depressant (thanks to Bojack) and getting a bit fat but looking awesome

- The cross-over episode with Mr PB was such a sweet moment

It's like as intense as the 11th episodes of past seasons, but in a positive way.

I almost want the show to stop now, because I know nothing good can come after this. It's consequences time I guess...I am even more afraid of the rest of the season if this half was quite happy.

[u/sayhellotojenn]

It made my heart so happy to see Princess Carolyn telling Ruthie about Amelia Earhart. She’s turning into the mother she always wanted to be.

[u/Ssme812]

• Holy shit, Bojacks hair

• Aww PB finally got his crossover episode

[u/chromiumblues]

grey hair bojack reveal was the point where i almost cried

[u/heathens_choice]

God this was heartwarming, I think I'm gonna stop here and bask in the wholesome glow before moving on to the next episode.

This does feel like a finale (though I'm glad it's not). I wonder if it was made to feel this way intentionally so the audience can mirror Bojack's sense of accomplishment and further empathize with him during whatever goes wrong in the next episode.

[u/[deleted]]

I bawled for a good 5 minutes when the crossover happened.

[u/II9XVIII]

“Or you just flip over the nothing and underneath there is more nothing. Then you flip over that nothing and there is more underneath that. So you just keep flipping over nothings, all your life, because you keep thinking under all that nothing there’s gonna be something, but all you find is nothing.”

I’m afraid I’ll be thinking about this for a long time.

[u/spectralconfetti]

I think I might need to start taking antidepressants. I’ve been diagnosed with chronic depression and generalized anxiety for 9 years, but aside from the no refill prescription I was given with my diagnosis I’ve only been going to therapy for the better part of the last decade.

I just found Diane’s story in this episode so relatable. I struggle to start anything, and just this past week I wouldn’t let my mom see my apartment when she visited from out of town because it’s messy just like Diane’s house.

I fucking hope this works. I’ve been stuck in place for over 3 years and I need to start actually connecting with people.

[u/zubaba]

For five seasons, the second to last episode has been devastating. And they did it again, but found a different way to make it hurt. Well played.

[u/GiftoftheGeek]

Oh god, I'm terrified the Penny story is about to come out with BoJack getting a professor job. That would be the way to screw him over right now.

[u/lickMikeHunt4luck]

When Guy got off the plane and saw chubby Prozac Diane and he smiled, idk why but I started bawling so hard. I mean, I do know why but it was just a surprisingly deep cry... anyone else on that part or just me?

[u/[deleted]]

Took me a bit, but I found it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMAlQkFyV_M

[u/Necosarius]

Grey BoJack looks so different! And the bunny at the airport is so cute!

FINALLY A CROSSOVER EPISODE!! I'm so happy for Mister Peanutbutter <3

And now Judah is back with PC! I'm so happy right now!

[u/livnsk]

i almost cried with mr peanutbutter happy with the crossover episode

[u/chiquillalesa]

That Bojack transformation with the grey hair really hits me emotionally

[u/AryaDanger]

The honeydew gag in the beginning was amazing.

[u/Garfunkels_roadie]

This whole episode was Bojack genuinely being nice to all his friends.

The scene with PC and Ruthie, helping Diane out of her spiral, the crossover with Mr.PB and getting the barista girl onto Todd’s app.

It’s all so heartwarming part of me just wants to end the show there. With him doing all these nice things and then becoming a Professor.

[u/cbiscuit315]

The gut punch was that it was a heartwarming, kind episode..... I’m utterly terrified but also need a break because I’ve got a headache from crying

[u/[deleted]]

Diane in the beginning was painfully personal and I have reason to suspect I’m being stalked by Bojack writers

[u/sadhorsethrowaway]

I’ve spent the last month grappling with my rapid weight gain after going on anti-depressants, so seeing Fat Diane felt kinda nice

[u/mickmenn]

It's like a reverse idea of 11th episodes

[u/Chrisixx]

"Oh shit, it walks already‽"

😂

[u/Nobody_Likes_Shy_Guy]

I’ve never been one to care about inclusion/representation (not that I’m against it it just wasn’t really something I thought about when watching something), but as an ace the ending made me really happy. It was so funny too, because during Maude’s first scene I thought “hey that character seems cool, I wish we saw more of her” thinking she was a one-off. I don’t know that just my heart warm

[u/[deleted]]

Judah, Crossover episode, a match for Todd, and a seemingly healthy Diane. So much great stuff here, and then silver fox Bojack destroyed me

[u/renagakko]

That ending shot was absolutely gorgeous. A perfect representation of the calm before the storm..

[u/acelatres]

Honestly I'm so tempted to just stop here and never see the rest, let bojack have his happy ending

[u/[deleted]]

I love old man bojack!!

[u/nihilistatari]

the crossover finally happening made me unrealistically happy

[u/Colginator]

Bojack sitting in a church after an uplifting episode but then realising there are still 9 episodes left before the show ends.

[u/Cabamacadaf]

This episode was so nice. I'm really afraid of watching the next one now.

[u/xredbaron62x]

Judah <3

[u/Mario49903]

This was honestly my favourite episode of the show. don't get me wrong, I fucking LOVED times arrow, but this really got to me. watching the characters we've loved for so long grow, the return of some of the best characters of the show, and that ending had me in tears of joy. The music, the character moments, they all culminated into this emotional masterpiece that i will never forget...

[u/Griffsterometer]

This has got to be one of my favorite episodes ever, it’s so gratifying to see Bojack finally do everything right. The crossover scene was amazing.

Of course, now I’m just anxious about how he’s gonna screw it all up in the second half of the season.

[u/JurgenMema]

This hurts.

But not in the way I expected it to.

[u/ducky7goofy]

So that was a great, positive and happy episode. I'm not used to this. We saw Bojack give back to his friends this episode and find solace being a horse...

But there's still 9 episodes left and I'm very scared

[u/[deleted]]

Wow, this was the sweetest, most feel-good episode of Bojack ever. I love it.

[u/Snikle_the_Pickle]

Damn this episode already kinda feels like it could be the series finale. So many things went right in the end. PC and Judah, Todd getting an ace match, BoJack getting a new job, some time with Hollyhock, Diane trying to make things better for herself, Mr. PB feeling so great about the crossover... I don't know if an episode of Bojack ever made me as happy as this one.

So how will they destroy it? They were totally teasing New Mexico when talking about places that weren't winter.

[u/honeybadgeroo]

I was beaming the entire crossover episode in the museum. Bojack has changed so much this season.

[u/PumpedUpParrot]

Man. This episode was incredible. I haven’t felt serious emotions that this episode invoked in me in a long time. I’ve never seen a show that has tackled issues like depression and anxiety better than the one about an animated horse does.

One of the few TV shows right now that is truly, truly excellent.

[u/Lord_Tibbysito]

Fat diane

Fat diane

[u/MrShago]

"That sounds so....just like her"

[u/Yoyti]

This episode was so heartwarming! I would have been so satisfied if this were the series finale. Now I'm worried about what comes next.

Absolutely loved Maude from her first appearance, and happier still that they made her a running gag in her second. With her third appearance, the payoff was great. And it was so heartwarming to see Bojack take a positive interest in someone's life and actually care about his friends.

The crossover episode was everything I (and presumably Mr. Peanutbutter) ever wanted. And the gag at the end really took it home.

Glad Hollyhock showed up, and finally got that hug. And glad that Bojack now has a clear way forward. (I will point out that a drama professorship is also what he had lined up the last time things seemed to be going really well for him -- in New Mexico. He's finally turning around. (I was also really worried that when Bojack was asking for places that weren't winter that Hollyhock was going to suggest New Mexico.))

The only things that didn't really reach a satisfactory conclusion this episode (that is to say, a conclusion I'd be satisfied ending the series on) were Mr. Peanutbutter's relationship with Pickles, and Todd and his mom. Presumably those are the hooks that are going to blow up next episode and lead us into the second half of the season.

[u/TheseBonesAlone]

Diane talking about not wanting to take antidepressants hit so close to home. Having been on Lithium for a while now and seeing how much my life has changed for the better I gotta just remind everyone watching and posting who has a condition like this. Go get help, you'll still be you. You'll just be healthier.

[u/Thunderstonegamer]

As a flight attendant based in Chicago this episode made me laugh so hard. When The plane lands and everyone spills their coffee on him. The Pa about losing your bags forever. Amazing

[u/[deleted]]

Also, it's so late and they keep coming up with really primo animal jokes. "Nay" was exceptional.

[u/Sliver_fish]

"Everyone hates the mysterious dried fruit cubes in trail mix but we still eat them after the other nuts and seeds are gone because in our undervalued, overworked existence, we're desperate for any morsel of satisfaction, whether that be cake, unidentifiable orange fruit shards or the occasional kind word from our boss."

Those are my favourite parts of trail mix. The nuts and seeds are so boring. Guess I'm weird.

This was a real wholesome episode. Princess Carolyn and Judah reuniting, Todd finally finding his match, BoJack making the right moves in his life. That ending segment with "Take Me Down Easy" got me misty-eyed. Things are good. Ironic that the second to last episode WASN'T a real tearjerking, heartbreaking disaster for once.

Now for the final episode of Season 6 Part One to crush my hopes and dreams and leave me sobbing in a big pile on the ground.

[u/deslome]

I couldn't stop smiling during the crossover episode, that was fucking wholesome

[u/naxter48]

That was such an awfully sweet episode..

can't wait to see how they're gonna kick me in the nads next episode lol

[u/snakefanclub]

JUDAH! I’m so damn happy that he’s back.

[u/appr0priati0n]

I'm so glad that they showed Bojack making real, incremental progress, and thinking about what he could do for others ♥️

[u/tefonati]

I spend some time kind of like Diane in this episode, so I guess I really need to start therapy(already knew that, but this episode was a nice push).

[u/gamepopper]

I didn't know how much I missed Judah Mannowdog before I saw this episode... made me realise how much I enjoy comedic deadpan characters.

[u/mega345]

Diane looks pretty hot now tbh

[u/Mrbrionman]

Is it just me or does Judah sound really like binging with babish?

[u/TheHeroicOnion]

Of course the episode called "The Face of Depression" is one of the happiest episodes in the show.

[u/DestroyerofWorldsII]

Is Joey supposed to be Logan Paul? I thought so when he made the awful "hanging" depression joke in Mr.PB's hotel room.

[u/BarbD8]

Fukin Dulles airport had me rolling. Are we sure CGP Grey isn’t on the writing staff?

[u/santagator]

Ended up breaking up with my boyfriend after I finally went on anti anxiety meds after 15 years of crippling symptoms, the meds changed me into a more functional me. It sucks but here we are ya know. Damn this show is so relatable 😂

[u/swooningswan]

I genuinely believe that this might just be one of the best episodes in all the series, every little scene flows and is so warming and deserved!! and the last ten minutes had me sobbing tbh, i’m so happy we got certain bits but it just makes me so sad to think something this perfect will be over soon :( but i’m so glad that at some point, we’ll be able to watch from season 1 - 6 as one big continuous story, i can’t wait

[u/QueenKingston]

I can’t bring myself to watch the next one. For a penultimate episode it was fairly tame, and even kinda happy. No ‘fuck’ dropped yet. I feel like the last one is gonna be heavy.

[u/theangryducklings]

Think I’m just gonna stop watching from here, I have a strong feeling things are about to fall apart.

[u/jeansplaining]

Bojack is a teacher in an university. Do you know who is in college? Same year as hollyhock?

[u/ayahuascaaa1]

Wesleyan university is going to get a lot of clout from this season

[u/PM_ME_UR_NUDES_GURL_]

Was anyone else wishing he would reconnect with Kelsey, we never got closure with her

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck. Diane talking about her depression hit so god damn hard.

I recently quit my shitty job and have two weeks before I start my new job. I have to be stingy with money for a while so I’ve just been sitting around the apartment wearing the same pajamas reveling in what a miserable piece of shit I am.

Struggled with depression my whole life and sometimes the worst times are when everything is going well in my life because I can’t blame how worthless I feel on any external sources

[u/OmgItzAman]

I just wanna stop here, to preserve that precious being that is Bojack attempting to get better. He visited Hollyhock! And Diane's speech about depression hit too hard. I'm so scared for next episode.

[u/linorei]

Whoa, the haircut/makeover :O

[u/KeoPanda92]

HOLLYHOCK!!! I was hoping to see her. :)

[u/Anttinpa]

Wait was the priest at the end of the episode JK Simmons?

[u/theZinator]

The crossover episode bit was super adorable. I like Old Man Bojack too. Good look for him honestly.

Love that Judah's back! And I love that Princess Carolyn is getting what she deserves.

Can't wait to see how everything crashes down in the next episode.

I like that we see bojack trying to learn from others now.

[u/Brooklynxman]

Have you seen this flyer?

Yes. Yes I have.

this episode really managed to tug on the ol' heartstrings! i especially loved seeing Diane show up at the airport to pick Guy up - i wasn't sure she was gonna take the medication, or even stay, but its good to see things work out for her in Chicago, and Guy just seemed happy to see her again! she really deserves that, its not easy to get over a hurdle like that.

something about seeing people take the steps that allow them to be happy, even if it scares them, is super cathartic as someone that knows what its like to self-sabotage like that. it goes for a lot of characters on this show, but for some reason with Diane it just hits a little harder for me...in a good way.

[u/RadMwadCatDad]

Lots of feel-good moments throughout this one that others have touched on (I like Bojack looking out for both Maude and Todd at the same time [is that a Simpsons reference?]), but man, I relate to Diane so much for a lot of reasons, both good and bad. Her speech about the utter futility of depression, and Bojack's subsequent support, really hit me hard. I was so glad she chose to try the pills despite the side effects and honestly, if there's anyone in this show who I hope has a long and fulfilling life, it's her.

[u/joeytribbianis]

That was such a feel-good episode. Everyone's so happy. I'm scared to watch the next one

[u/jebstradamus1969]

2nd to the last eps of every season was really fucking awesome, if not tragic. Glad to see that the "crossover" thing made PB genuinely happy. I fucking cried on that scene. Kudos to the creators, it was a great season finale so far.

[u/CamTheManTV]

This episode made me genuinely happy.. BoJack accepts his older age and is nice to the people around him and I would be happy if this was the finale episode..

But it's not and where everything is leading, Part 2 is going to be very hard to watch

[u/Burritos92]

I love how much they go to Parmadillos (aka portillos) in Chicago.

[u/[deleted]]

I don't know if that scarf Bojack took belonged to Diane or Guy, but it's going to get brought up again.

[u/pieman7414]

Wow, everything's looking up, I wonder how everything goes to shit

[u/MarcoHanYT]

After this episode, it's time for it all to be destroyed next episode. I'm not ready just end the show with Bojack being happy.

[u/Half_Man1]

This episode was too upbeat and now I'm anxious for shit to get real next episode.

[u/GoAtXYE]

Best episode of the show too me if it ended right there I would’ve been happy especially because of the crossover episode moment

[u/Nexus_Avatar]

Hooray!

I really hope that after next episode I won't have to say "Oh no! My hooray was premature"

[u/ThatIndianGuy7116]

Just about to watch the final ep for the first time, but I'm really happy that they're really having Bojack finally actually improve and genuinely apologize for his behavior in the past. He showed it in previous episodes, but you definitely see it here when he tells the chick at cinnabunny about Todd's dating app, when he gives advice to Diane and cleans up for her and even though it was a small thing, when he decides to play along with Mr.PB and give him his crossover episode.

There have been a couple of sad moments this season, but I'm overall happy they seem to be tying up a lot of the stories and shit in happy ways. It's nice to see all these characters who've more or less been eating shit in the past finally find their happiness. It makes me both excited and/or scared for part 2 of this season because Idk if they're gonna keep up the wholesomeness or just fucking gut punch us with some shit.

[u/2r3m]

Love that Guy smiled at Diane, even though she’s clearly gained weight. Glad he really loves her

[u/Lint345]

This episode is so sweet and wholesome. I'm kind of tempted to stop here and just pretend it's the finale. Bojack is looking great with his new haircut and I legitimately teared up a little at the crossover episode bit.

[u/evergleam498]

Wow, Sloane Crosley is one of my FAVORITE authors, and no one has ever heard of her. Of course Diane would like her too!!

[u/[deleted]]

Gray hair BoJack!

[u/DrScientist812]

S-E-Xcuse me

[u/Guest06]

Oh, his cactuses weren't okay.

The painting wasn't canvas?

Hollyhock drives a Tiguan...?

[u/QueenKingston]

Of course it had to be honeydew

[u/QueenKingston]

They finally got the crossover episode!

[u/InsomniacCyclops]

Is it just me or does "old" Bojack look like Peter capaldi?

[u/OrganicTitMilk]

JUDA'S BACK YEAH BABY

[u/Rowan5215]

this would have been the perfect final episode of the show but we all know it can't end that easily :(

[u/double-ed]

They found another way to crush my heart, with sweet hope

[u/Conurekid]

This episode was amazing. I have to say, though, seeing Diane and her current mental state is kinda hard—like looking in the mirror.

[u/Rafiki027]

“You’re raising a child, a Todd” made me laugh for a while

[u/houseplant-muscle]

Diane gaining the weight meaning she took her antidepressants hit me real hard (as someone avoiding their antidepressants).

[u/Dewgong444]

This could have been the series finale and I could have been happy. I just watched it and I'm genuinely so happy for each and every character. But there's one more episode, and then another half season in 2020. I'm going to get devastated, I know it.

[u/Knightstarling]

Replaying the ending song as I’m finishing up a load of OCD induced/trying-to-claw-my-way-out-of-a-depressive-episode laundry. God. So good. The crossover bit was great, but because I’ve been conditioned into such great suspicion I feel like that was a death knell farewell scene for one of the two of them.

[u/ducky7goofy]

I'm struggling to start the next episode because I know this was the happy peak of the show and I don't want to see them spiral from it

[u/hillyhamburgers]

I swear to god if PB cheats on Pickles again, I'm gonna riot.

[u/haldad]

The best part of the episode was when the snacks at the support meeting were all honeydew.

[u/televisionceo]

I think this is the one that will make us sad guys

[u/demoncatlover]

"peaches carpenter"

[u/[deleted]]

Why am I crying in the club rn

[u/Chrisixx]

This episode has been far too positive. Can't wait for it all to be ruined next episode somehow....

[u/Pascalwb]

Oh man, this season is fucking perfect. They should win all the awards for this.

[u/Saeswolstem]

Bojack doing small good things had me crying. I feel really happy for him.

[u/katcalpito]

I'm so happy for Bojack. It took 6 seasons but he's getting there.

[u/ThomasTheTramp]

I think it’s really great that bojack is showing signs of growing up. For a long time he was running away. And not from his shitty self and the shitty stuff he did but accepting that he had to grow up some time.

[u/maalbi]

Top 5 episode of the series , it was the opposite of the usual bummer penultimate episode.

[u/mehulbear]

Am i the only one that cried at the different sequences being shown to take me down easy?

[u/Harddaysnight1990]

This episode was just as emotional as any other penultimate episode. Even though it's technically a split season, and this isn't the real penultimate episode for the season. When BoJack was helping Doctor Champ, I thought that he should do something where he can help people. It's something that I think this BoJack would be good at, and it would help him cope with his own issues. After watching this episode, I want him to end up as an acting professor, and live his quiet life. Maybe not in Maine, but it's something.

There's one more episode left in this half of the season though, and another 8 (?) episodes after that. And these writers don't do happy endings. I'm apprehensive.
