A little less original than the previous seasons' "special" episodes, representing death's door as a dream, or even a show, has been done many times before, but beautifully done and very powerful.
Mixed with important questions. What is life ? What is death ? What's the point ? Is it worth it ? Was life worth it for Sarah Lynn that sacrificed every part of her life for her public ? Was death worth it for Crackerjack as a soldier ?
What this represents seems obvious as only people whose death had a special meaning for Bojack are there. It is evidently drug/alcohol induced given the weirdness. But it maybe just that, from Zach Braff's presence and the fact that he seems to treat this as a recurring dream. But as it goes on, the image becomes clearer.
The dinner part is good, the show part is great.
Lots of great details and symbolism. Sarah Lynn's song. Her evolving form during the dinner. Secretariat in place of his father. The poem. The black thing. The final call. "There is no other side. This is it."
I would have liked to see Herb's performance, not just as a presenter.
We kinda knew this was coming, this was one of the most logical conclusion to this season (and also makes sense for the show), but I would I thought it would be less accidental, but this is so much more in tone.
This also put the previous episode into perspective. I didn't really enjoy the all is well that ends well conclusion for all the other characters. But it's worse if it really was their end of storyline.
There are so many ways the next and last one could go. Let's see.
