Canon review chatter, starting with season 4 episode 6, though I may refer to later events, so
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
I noticed last episode that they telegraph Diane and PB's breakup pretty hard all season
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Because last episode, Diane's trying to tell him why she's upset and PB just gives her the Your Feelings Are Valid And I Hear You platitudes without actually addressing what she's telling him
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
And she tries really hard to be the supportive wife during the whole governor campaign while PB lets himself be manipulated
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
BoJack's inner monologue in this episode is... yeah. TOO RELATABLE SOMETIMES
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
I love all of Princess Carolyn's tongue twisters and how smoothly Amy Sedaris delivers them
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Also, watching Beatrice with her "baby" is painful when you know what happens later on
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"Henrietta, you're unfit to be a parent."
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
O u c h
poodle chaser
it gets so much more brutal on the second viewing....
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
It really does
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Like when Todd is asking Diane about his sham marriage to Courtney Portnoy, and Diane replies that ALL marriages are shams because you don't really know in the end if it's going to be forever
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
She does go on to add that there is a nugget of SOMETHING underneath all of it, which is why people go through with it and get married anyway, but I think she says something similar to PB at the end of this season, and adds that she's sick of trying to cling to that one tiny thing
โ™• blorp bleep โ™•
yes the I'M SO TIRED OF SQUINTING LINE
โ™• blorp bleep โ™•
which is fucking excellent
โ™• blorp bleep โ™•
shuri i can't wait to cry for a week over season 5 i'm ready
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"And sometimes it's hard to remember that pure, shining... thing because it's been painted over with so many arguments and comprimises and disappointments."
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
YES ME TOO
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
I love this show so goddamn much even if it is hard to watch at times
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
It's so real and so relatable
โ™• blorp bleep โ™•
it's so cathartic
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
I latched onto Diane because I can 100% related to her general feeling of, "I'm in my mid-thirties, what the fuck am I DOING with my life and why can I never be satisfied"
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"I had all these grand ideas, WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM"
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"And for what it's worth, you will be a wonderful mother."
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Oh, Judah. And Princess Carolyn
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
ERICA
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
That's got to be one of my favorite running jokes in all of TV
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"Oh, my God. I'm the problem."
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"Why can't I be happy? Am I busted?"
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"I'm a pit that good things fall into."
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
THE RULE OF MAN IS OVER, NOW BEGINS THE RULE OF FIRE
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
TONIGHT, WE DINE ON ZACH BRAFF
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
... I'm writing all these events out for Diane's history and it sounds so WTF
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"so then, the party guests cook and eat Zach Braff and worship fire"
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
FELICITY HUFFMAN'S BOOTY CAMP: LOS ANGELES
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
I like how we get this bizarre episode of worshipping fire and being trapped underground then BOOTY CAMP
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"I'm expecting a visit from Corbin Creamerman." Ohhhhh jeez
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
After Time's Arrow, so much of Beatrice's behavior makes sense and is even more gutpunchy
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Hollyhock also hung pictures of her and her dads on the window by where Beatrice sits, I noticed from pausing
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Or, well, I guess it's more like the couch she sleeps on, so it's her "bedroom"
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
lol PB's poor accountant
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
I'd also forgotten about Princess Carolyn's awkward as fuck visit with Ralph's family
๐•๐•š๐•Ÿ๐•˜๐•๐•–๐”ธ๐•๐•๐•ฅ๐•™๐•–๐•จ๐•’๐•ช
firrrst couple of visits to Prof's family and I could feel all the tiptoeing around what were likely easy remarks about black folks :-D;;;
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Yeeeeeah I can only imagine
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"Diane, you are so bad at making people feel better."
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Oh man, the next episode is Ruthie. Think I'm gonna stop there for the night.
poodle chaser
yes good choice save yourself while you still can
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Canon review will be so much faster when I don't need to write stuff down but I can't get over how comparatively bizarre my notes for this season are (LOL)
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"However, a remark she makes that PB should never give up on his heart and ability to care about people gets misinterpreted, and he ends up challenging Woodchuck to a ski race for the governorโ€™s seat.
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
Todd ends up winning the ski race purely by accident and thus wins the governorship, then resigns, triggering a special election and rendering the whole thing meaningless."
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
"Though she says is strongly anti-gun, Diane ends up holding the gun then shooting it at a range, impressed with the empowered feeling it gives her. She then pens a runaway hit article for GirlCroosh about why she now owns a gun, spurning a rise in women getting concealed carry permits.
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
This in turn causes more tension between her and PB, who is also anti-gun. She tells him she still dislikes guns, too, but loves the feeling of being safe and confident that owning one gives her, and reasons that she should be allowed to after PB allowed fracking on their property.
๐Ÿ” YEDONG...
This impasse turns into an argument on national television, which leads to another round of angry sex."
