Ooh good pont, I thought Bojack repeating this “dream” was him having multiple near death experiences that vary in severity, but it’s a better detail that it’s a reoccurring dream born of his guilt and shame
@@hotdiggitydammit9261 dude wtf I've been watching Bojack reactions, reviews and analysis last year like every day and got bored at some point, then came back to the fandom last week and you're telling me there are still details I missed 💀 insane show
This reminds me Diane, when she tells bojack in s2 that she would like to go back to Mr Peanutsbutter's house and him simply ask her: how was your Day? When she's lying to him about being in Cordovia
The cool part about the dinner is that it feels like a contest to see who 'lived better' by how they died. They're basically discussing who "won death": Sarah Lynn says it about cultural trascendence, Crackerjack about serving a bigger cause, Herb about inner peace, and so on. Then Secretariat says its all bullshit, that they didn't "won death" because they didn't go by their own accord. So he says he's trully the one who did it right, because he got to decide when he died. But then he reads the poem and we see that even if he jump confidently out of the bridge, he was regretting his decision halfway down. The final moral is that none "won death". Everybody went scared, confused, and wanting to keep living more. Life isn't a checklist to do it right and death isn't something one can conquer.
You’re about half right, they’re all just representations of Bojacks own thoughts about death & life & he uses people in his past to characterise those thoughts. It’s a battle between all those thoughts for Bojack & when you look back on his life & choices it’s very clear. Sarah Lynns argument mirrors his own about giving up his life for fame, Secreteriat (Bojack attempts suicide numerous times but never goes all the way through with it VFHD) Herb with peace is a what if for Bojack with Charlotte & so on.
Fun fact: The ending scene is what got me to watch this show. I saw the clip on TH-cam. No context, no clue what the show was even about. Best decision of my life.
@@argo9750 because the voters don't necessarily watch all the shows in full. Imagine this being the first episode of Bojack you ever watched. Vat of acid is much more self contained.
which is a call back to that scene where Bojack is telling her "Never stop dancing, never stop smiling, because those people out there are the only ones who'll ever love you..."
Zach Braff being pushed through the door and begging, pleading that he's not ready... gets me every time. Its classic Bojack, playing something simultaneously as a joke and horrifically dark
@@ProphetEefus they seriously are the best reactors on TH-cam. I know I’m glazing, but seriously, their reactions are genuine and not over exaggerated, and they always have educated and thorough discussions at the end. I promise I wasn’t paid to say this I just love them so much
I have been lying on my sofa depressed all day, with no food or drink in my flat and just felt unable to do anything. I got your notification and decided that i deserved the BEST possible conditions to watch this in, since it feels like I've been waiting forever for this episode, so I immediately got dressed, ran to the shop for food, got a pizza on the way home, and sat and watched this and loved every second. Thanks for loving the show the way we do. And thanks for the motivation haha
Sorry that you were feeling that way! We all get days like that and it sucks, but it’s something that we can deal with, and sometimes it’s the seemingly silly things that provide a lot of motivation. Wishing you the best stranger :)
I felt a rush of motivation too. Cried a lot while washing some dishes that pile up. At least, my conflicting feelings shows that something in me is trying to fight.
On the flip side, I was having a nice day, and though I was really looking forward to this episode, watching it with the SoS boys ended up sending me into my first panic attack in months 😂 guess that’s just a testament to the writers’ skill.
I don’t usually comment but now that we’re here I really want to make a point to show how amazing this show’s writing is: The poem that gives the episode its name, “The view from Halfway down”, consists of 3 parts, written all in a different grammatical person: 3rd “His eyes locked shut but peak to see/The view form halfway down” 2nd “It’s all okay, it would be/Were you not now halfway down” 1st “I really should’ve thought about the view from halfway d-” 3. 2. 1. Butterscotch horseman was not a good writer, so in his mind, Bojack made him one.
Legend says show creator Raphael Bob Waksburg was playing a little game with himself where he wanted to, by the end of the show, start at least one episode with each letter of the alphabet, and this episode's idea came to him because he was getting to the end and he needed a "V".
That poem is single handedly the greatest piece of anti suicidal media ever produced. When I was I watched this at the time I had alot of thoughts towards maybe moving that direction but that poem hit hard enough to shake me out of it.
Always love that everything they eat at the table is there last meals. Fast food for Lynn, Army rations for crackerjack, nursing home food for Bea, peanuts for herb and of course the chlorine water for Bojack.
Amazing reaction. Best I've seen to this episode, and really mirrored my own. I have a Facebook memory that pops up in early February every year. It says something like "Well, about to embark on the final penultimate episode of BoJack. I'm not prepared!" and the comment I added after watching was just "Jesus." I was absolutely stunned. I've seen it probably 20 times now and it still not only makes me tear up but gives me existential angst every single time. There are a lot of fun things to point out about this episode, but I'm sure a plethora of others (Jefe, do you know what a plethora is?!) will be chiming in and I don't wanna steal them all. (Someone will also post Alison Tafel's incredible poem in its entirety and get a few hundred likes, too!) So I'll just note that Raphael Bob-Waksberg originally planned to bring John Krasinski back and have him alternate lines with Will Arnett for Secretariat/Butterscotch. But after he heard Arnett's delivery of the poem, he decided to keep it all Arnett. Great decision. I'm still in shock that he wasn't even nominated for best voiceover actor at the Emmys that year (or for Free Churro the year before... I mean, what?!?!).
Anybody else notice how Sarah Lynn was the first party to “be done”? I say that, cuz if we recall one of her quotes from S1E3, she said, “I'm at a place right now where I never need to grow as a person or rise to an occasion because I can constantly just surround myself with sycophants and enablers until I die tragically young.” And while that quote is foreshadowing on its own to how Bojack treated her in S3E11, I’d like to highlight her very next quote that followed, There was the second part too, “Yeah…it’s pretty much too late for me…” as if to say she was *done*, even back then. Resigned to it as well 🥺
I remember being shocked when I heard Herb's story about how he decided not to kill himself because "the nicks were having a good season, and I wanted to see what happened." because I experienced the exact same thing with *this* show. I'd been suicidal for a while before the final season of Bojack Horseman and I remember seeing that the new season was coming out and I really wanted to know how it ended, so I waited. By the time I watched the final episode my life was back on track (I was literally living in a homeless shelter during the final season and had gotten the call about getting my first house during it). Funny how things come full circle sometimes!
This episode, Time's Arrow (s4e11) and Free Churro (s5e06). There's just something... special to them. After those... probably The Old Sugarman Place (s4e02), Good Damage (s6e10), and every one of the "F-Bomb" episodes. For me, at least. Honorable mention to the "silent" episode, Fish Out of Water (s3e04).
I used to rewatch those episodes when I was in a very dark place and although they shattered me they helped me reach bottom. Grateful to be 2 1/2 years sober & no longer depressed.
i love that zach braff is canonically dead in bojack universe. idk why but its so funny to me. also the poem in this episode fundamentally changed me as a person i think
The LITERAL best episode in the entire series, like it was UNBELIEVABLY GOOD and the phone call with Diane at the end was the MOST heartbreaking part going into the flatline.....
One of the greatest episodes of televisions I've ever witnesses. My husband and I had to pause this episode THREE TIMES on our first watch to calm down/get ourselves "stable" before continuing. It hurt. But we had to watch it. We had to finish it. We knew we were witnessing animation history. I have been waiting for this reaction ever since you both reacted to the first episode and this reaction did not disappoint. And as someone who was the edge, was so close to truly seeing "The View From Halfway Down" for myself - that poem, which was written by Alison Tafel (who also wrote this episode!) captured the feeling so perfectly that I audibly started sobbing the first time I heard it. I wish everyone could experience this episode (without falling into a depression spiral)
no matter how many times I watch this episode, I get chills. This is gold television and possibly one of the smartest most sophisticated episodes of any show
Back in season 2 Diane stays at BoJack's house . They have a conversation on the balcony and BoJack asks her why she doesn't go home. She says she wishes she could.... She would get into bed and he would ask "How was your day?" And I would say "My day was good" and he would say " I love you".... I love ❤ the callback to that conversation at the end of this episode 🎉🎉🎉
I was so looking forward to you guys reacting this episode! This series did an amazing job showing how hurt people hurt others, without shying away from showing that in the end we're all responsible for our own actions! Bojack did so many awful things throughout his life and we still rooted so much for him and wished he could improve and just be better! I wish animation could've been used more frequently, because it allows wonderful interpretations of real life, like this episode and the series overall!
The episode's titular poem destroys me every time. "How was your day..?", too. I wont lie, 50% of the comedic moments didn't land for me... but, that means next to nothing in the grand scheme. This and Time's Arrow are my favorite episodes, by far.
This episode gives me such an intense feeling that I don't quite know how to explain. A mix between an existential crisis while also scratching a very particular itch with the topics it delves so deeply into.
This show-this episode especially-and my being exposed to Persona 3 very recently, have really nailed home Memento Mori for me, and changed my perspective of life.
I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your comments and thoughts throughout my favorite show of all time. You guys are great I'm glad you enjoyed this as much as I did, much love!
44:57 doesn't bojacks dad have the same voice as bojack though, I love the theory but I thought it was a blending of the two father figures he had in his life.
I really want to hear your opinions on the next episode. Like a lot of people, I initially had mixed feelings on it because I wanted the series to end in a certain way. But after reflecting on it, they really ended it perfectly.
Fun fact: Diane’s last line in this episode was exactly what she said she wanted to be able to say to Mr Peanut Butter when she was hiding out at Bojack’s place during s2. “And he’d ask me, “How was my day?” And I’d say, “My day was good.””
I think the most gut-wrenching part for me was Herb announcing Bojack to the stage. I find it incredibly humbling, to hear a summation of your entire existence used as an intro for some kind of theatrical act. All of your life, dreams, accomplishments, and most of all failures- all leading to the realization that the part of your brain (the part that "thinks that everyone hates you, and they're NOT wrong to feel that way") that hyperfocuses on your mistakes was the truest part of you. To live a life that has almost nothing to show for it other than being simply... a STUPID piece of SHIT. How dark and pathetic, and an absolutely "normal" conclusion that people with suicidal ideation lead to. To everyone reading this, the view from halfway down is not something you deserve to see. And our hearts must beat for those that made it all the way down.
Funny, I think I just saw how my face looked like when I went through an existential crisis while playing a stupid free game last week. Hope Jacob is doing okay.
This episode hurt my fee-fees, my ling-lings 😢. Jokes and obscure references aside, this is definitely among the greatest episodes of the show along with Time's Arrow, Free Churro, and personally with the last episode as well.
If you enjoyed this episode you will surely enjoy the movie All that jazz. This movie is SO good and it was such a big influence on this show and a lot of others out there
To be honest, I think this is the first show that had me crying like that at the end. Except for maybe House. Then again, I haven’t watched very many shows from beginning to end.
To think this episode lost an Emmy to a random Rick and Morty episode. Absolute travesty looking back, though Will Arnett claimed it poetic that Bojack didnt get the Emmy in the end.
this has nothing related to the episode but its driving me a little insane! whats with jacobs the legend of vox machina crew beanie? like did he participate in the making of it in some way? i looked through all the credits and imdb and couldnt find anything GRAAHHHHH
Both of you are pale and looking sick after this episode. Same. Incredible. Been sitting on the other series Tuca & Bertie, Undone and the upcoming Long Story Short.
I don't think I'm smart enough to meaningfully add anything to the conversation about this episode that hasn't already been said. Simply one of the single greatest episodes of television ever made.
In S6 EP1 the therapy horse says something like "yes you've told me about the dream with the dinner party" cool detail
Ooh good pont, I thought Bojack repeating this “dream” was him having multiple near death experiences that vary in severity, but it’s a better detail that it’s a reoccurring dream born of his guilt and shame
@@hotdiggitydammit9261 dude wtf
I've been watching Bojack reactions, reviews and analysis last year like every day
and got bored at some point, then came back to the fandom last week
and you're telling me there are still details I missed 💀
insane show
Fun fact: bojacks realisation that he is dying happens 17 minutes into the episode.
Like how long he waited in that parking lot before calling an ambulance?

Stanley Tucci's delivery of "oh Bojack, no, there is no other side... this is it" hits me right in the gut every time.
stanley tucci is herb?!?! omg I've never realized this

There are dozens of us!
Same here! Had to hop onto Patreon bc Bojack reactions from these guys simply cannot wait 🙌

That poem is single handedly the greatest piece of anti suicidal media ever produced. When I was I watched this at the time I had alot of thoughts towards maybe moving that direction but that poem hit hard enough to shake me out of it.
That poem is incredible. I can totally understand it having that power. I'm glad it got to you in those circumstances.
Always love that everything they eat at the table is there last meals.
Fast food for Lynn, Army rations for crackerjack, nursing home food for Bea, peanuts for herb and of course the chlorine water for Bojack.
And the lemon for Corduroy!
Chlorine water + pills
We're here. The pinnacle of the series.
This one episode did more for suicide prevention than 3 seasons of 13 reasons why.
To be fair, everything beyond Season 1 was lierally a cash grab. The book only covers the first season
Diane told him that eventually he'd want to kill himself & there'd be no one to stop him.
Amazing reaction. Best I've seen to this episode, and really mirrored my own. I have a Facebook memory that pops up in early February every year.

Brilliant episode. To quote Todd…,
“Fuck man, what else is there to say?”
I think you're the first reactors who immediately recognize the black goo as tar from the tar pits.
I was uncontrollably sobbing the first time I watched this.
I still come back to that poem to snap me out of a depressive spiral.
It's amazing to see that even in this episode, they smile and laugh. What a freaking show
This episode gives me such an intense feeling that I don't quite know how to explain. A mix between an existential crisis while also scratching a very particular itch with the topics it delves so deeply into.
This show-this episode especially-and my being exposed to Persona 3 very recently, have really nailed home Memento Mori for me, and changed my perspective of life.
Fun fact about the poem; it's written in third person, then second person, then first person. 3. 2. 1.
I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your comments and thoughts throughout my favorite show of all time. You guys are great I'm glad you enjoyed this as much as I did, much love!
This is the most heartfelt and genuine reaction I've ever seen to this episode. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤

Were finally here. Since I saw you guys started series, I was waiting for this episode
I cannot re-eatch this episode without sobbing like I've never seen it before
PEAK TV RIGHT HERE.
Poor Jacob was severely destroyed throughout this episode 😢
There really isn't much to say, other than how amazing a work of fiction this is. Pure art.
I really want to hear your opinions on the next episode. Like a lot of people, I initially had mixed feelings on it because I wanted the series to end in a certain way. But after reflecting on it, they really ended it perfectly.

Peak television.
Unfortunately, this masterpiece was lost to Rick and Morty's Vat of Acid episode. But who cares
Maan...I love this show so much!
To be honest, I think this is the first show that had me crying like that at the end. Except for maybe House. Then again, I haven’t watched very many shows from beginning to end.
Ah I have been waiting for this moment
Anyone else suddenly feel anxious? And mortal?
really excited for the next/last one =)
this episode makes me SICK… in a good way
You can see both of you guys way of coping😂
To think this episode lost an Emmy to a random Rick and Morty episode. Absolute travesty looking back, though Will Arnett claimed it poetic that Bojack didnt get the Emmy in the end.
this has nothing related to the episode but its driving me a little insane! whats with jacobs the legend of vox machina crew beanie? like did he participate in the making of it in some way? i looked through all the credits and imdb and couldnt find anything GRAAHHHHH
Simply incredible
Can you guys do Sopranos next or Succession? These discussions have been amazing

Both of you are pale and looking sick after this episode. Same. Incredible. Been sitting on the other series Tuca & Bertie, Undone and the upcoming Long Story Short.
Don’t get me wrong I cried a dozen times during this episode but none as hard as Beatrice.
The song, her brother dying first dragged her down.
The poem makes my heart hurt

I don't think I'm smart enough to meaningfully add anything to the conversation about this episode that hasn't already been said.
Simply one of the single greatest episodes of television ever made.
not one of, it is THE greatest one
