- Thread starter TheGreatDirector
- Start date
What's going to be the deal with spoiler tags? Would be nice to at least give it 5 - 7 days before it's open season. TheGreatDirector

OP
I think 1 week of marked spoilers should be the general rule for this thread.
I feel like I've been waiting forever, but that'll happen when you watch it in one go a year before the next season starts.
Anyway, I'm so excited for tomorrow.

Mr. Penutbutter is always my hope. He's overdue for a meltdown.
I'm thinking Mr. Peanutbutter as well, him or Diane, likely as a result of their marriage.
I'm wondering if this will be the marriage that finally shooks Mr. Peanutbutter. Or will he just move on? (Moves onto Princess Carolyn for a joke about Cats and Dogs, instead of Mouse and Cats).
I think it will, they've been married for a while, Mr. Peanutbutter has tried, has wanted to make things work, he cares.
And Ruthie, and Stupid Piece of Shit, and Time's Arrow....and so and and so forth. Season 4 was just a stellar season of television.
You're banned now but yes, they do explain it. There's a really good episode in Season 2 that deals with it.
About to start watching, but going to say something first.
A good friend of mine (one of my closest, known each other for over a decade) introduced me to this show right before Season 3 aired, I had heard of it before then but not checked it out. We watched the first two seasons together, and then we watched Seasons 3 & 4 together blindly when they both hit. We both loved it a lot, and I was excited to watch Season 5 together. Tomorrow is his birthday (he'd turn 25), and I thought this would be a fun thing to watch together before he got pulled away for birthday stuff.
He died by suicide a month ago (August 11th), so watching this new season is going to be hard for me due to association as I've never watched the show without him and he's the one who introduced it to me anyway, and with the suicide being only a month old, and tomorrow being what would've been his 25th birthday. A reminder for everyone take care of yourselves, but this season while I want to watch it definitely, it's going to probably hit me hard regardless.
Let's see what's in store.

Damn DG, that's rough. I hope this brings back positive memories of your friend. He had good taste in TV.
First episode down, and this season is going to go places.
Also peeked ahead at the titles and plot descriptions for the rest of the season, and uh-oh.
Ah, mate, I'm sorry to hear that. All the best to you and yours.
The Bojack/Philbert lines are going to get way the hell blurry- their houses are exactly the same and scenes play out in exactly the same fashion in both locations.

First episode down for me as well, and yuuup. It's really set up this season for some intruigue, I'm interested in all the apparent story-lines going on with the characters. It's nice to see Bojack starting to get a handle on his life better and control his destructiveness a bit, but it's obvious this all is going to fall apart, and there was some I believe potentially heavy foreshadowing in the first episode. You can just feel the underlying darkness of what's to come. Lot's of relevant social commentary happening as well.
Also first episode made me laugh out loud a few times, so that's cool too.
Onto episode 2!

Second episode done. Not what I expected from the second episode at all, but it does remind me how the second episode last season was completely away from LA. I also think this might be the first completely Diane focused episode, is it not? There were some great background gags the whole episode, my favorite I caught being the pig eating at the diner, seeing the table behind him eating this giant pig head, then looking at his own plate.
Episode definitely hit some interesting notes, and I like how it wrapped up. Korean credit version of the song was also fun to hear.
