This episode is just pain

Bojack should've been honest as to why he was in New Mexico.

As soon as Charlotte said she had a family, I knew he screwed up. Then they started asking him why he was there. My jaw dropped when he decided to stay for two months.

I like how he tried to help out Charlotte's daughter, but saying that she looks just like her mother is creepy. Giving Maddie that whisky was a big mistake. I hope she's alright.

BoJack messed up. First he tries to get with Charlotte, before trying to do it with her daughter. When BoJack said Penny didn't know what she wants and turned down her offer, I was proud of him. Those last few moments hit hard with the disappointment and betrayal Charlotte must've felt. Jesus.

She was right, though. You can't run away from who you are.

Those final few scenes were almost as devastating as Downer Ending. BoJack needs to sort out his internal struggles.

THIS IS A HEARTBREAKING PRE-SEASON FINALE EPISODE.

TECHNICAL SCORE: 8.5/10
ENJOYMENT SCORE: 9/10

What a coincidence. A friend of mine suggested we watch the John Carpenter film Escape from L.A. (1996) just yesterday, and now here I am catching up and landing on this very episode of Bojack with that same title.
This one is a really good coming of age story. Bojack is a good man. He knows his right and wrong. I highly respect how he handled his friend's daughter after arriving from the prom. He then has a chat with that said friend and I like the following quote:

"It doesn't matter where you are.
..California or Maine or New Mexico..
It's who you are, you know, you can't escape... you."

I heard a similar quote like that recently from the film I Am Number Four (2011). I have friends that like to say that they don't like the town they are currently living in, and want to move away. Whereas I feel opposite to that. This will be something I tell them.
Good life lessons to be learned from this show.

«It doesn’t matter where you are, it’s who you are, and that’s not gonna change whether you’re in California or Maine or New Mexico. You know, you can’t escape... you».

«Non importa dove ti trovi, il punto è chi sei tu. E non importa se stai in California o nel Maine o in New Mexico. Sai, non puoi scappare da te stesso».

Anyone who says they don't jam to "Kyle and the Kids" is lying or has horrible taste in music

painful to watch.
It reminds me that BJ used to say he was only trying to hate himself a little less.
That's why he keeps chasing all the illusions.

Escape from LA?Escape from himself.

this was the first episode that I straight up could not sit down and calmly watch. Just for those last 5 minutes. Watching BoJack screw up that royally is incredibly painful.

That kind of drama is what makes this show so revolutionary as a western cartoon. I know anime has hit some significant levels of depth before, but beyond Japanese media, I’ve never seen an animated series with moments this genuinely mature and sophisticated.

Once in a while there will come an episode, that reminds me why i love this show. This is one of those episodes.

It was so obvious that going to see Charlotte was such a bad idea. The whole episode is weird. OK for the start, with the predictable disappointment, but then he stays for months ? We see a happier, well adjusted Bojack, taking care of the kids (almost) responsibly. But then he still tries to go for Charlotte ? How could this situation last for 2 months then ??

Ending is ok too. Pretty incredible how many time Bojack refused. Then the worst ending possible for his relationship with Charlotte.

However everything in between was without any interest. And all the boner "jokes" were so so below the show's level.

I lost count of how many times BoJack scratched the back of his head in this episode. I guess that made them save on animation frames.
