You know some people don't believe that New Year's party was the first time he drunk. He's around 5 or 6 and took three gulps of straight vodka without even flinching, as if he was used to it. I have a theory about that, you know that old trick people used to do where they put alcohol on a baby's gums to stop the irritation? Then that flashback of Beatric desperately trying to get baby Bojack to stop crying? I wonder if Beatrice at some point had a little help to stop the crying.

Hang on I just realized something, something that most people don't realize watching this episode. Bojack shames that girl for being in rehab multiple times and says that if you have to do it more than once then it's a sign you're a lost cause, but going over all those flashbacks just makes me realize that this isn't bojack's first relapse. He's done it again, and again, and again, it makes me wonder if that's why he's taking so long to go to rehab. Like he's tried to stop but relapse so many times that he just didn't care anymore as he got older until everything that happened.

I just realized that “Horse Therapy” Is an incredibly subtle form of foreshadowing. They call it “Horse Therapy” when it’s usually referred to as Talk Therapy, but later on in the season we learn that “Horse” Therapy is exactly what Bojack needs since he has a subconscious aversion to other horses!

To me the point of the episode is that his earliest memory of drinking is at the new years party, where he cuddles up with his mother, is that he doesn't look like he's trying alcohol for the first time, he would have had a reaction. Rather it seems to me like he genuinely doesn't even remember the first time he drank. Alcohol has always been his escape from his anxiety and allowed him to form the connections with the people in his life that he's always wanted, starting with his parents.

To me the main reason why BoJack actually began taking the accountability was the fact Jameson was a mom, as we know Beatrice wasn't the greatest mother but the fact that she was drunk who couldn't stand BoJack and so seeing Jameson try to love her child even with all of her issues made something in him feel that made him want to take accountability.

I think the reason Bojack was so shaken when he learned about Jameson's baby is because it shifted his perspective about the whole situation.
Up to that moment he was relating to her as a difficult child, an addict, a girl who wouldn't help herself - someone like him.
When he learns that she is a mother he probably starts relating even deeply to her child, due to his own experience with alcoholic parents.
He probably thought that Jameson's baby could be the next to take a sip of vodka before cuddling up into his mother's lap - which yes, totally looks like a habit little Bojack developed to get a shred of a connection with Beatrice and Butterscotch, to be with his family - even though it was only to drown together.
Thanks for another great breakdown, keep them coming next year, too!
Can't wait for your take on Head in the Clouds :)

I have this problem where I compulsively watch this show, start to finish. I've done it now, probably between 15 and 20 times, while working on projects. Despite this, you still manage to blow my mind with Bojack saying he'll have to lie to everybody about Jameson escaping, and her "getting fat" junior year when she was actually pregnant. So many details to this show--don't stop making these reviews, there's so much every time.

I think Bojack in rehab is a good example of a person working therapy, not working WITH therapy. He's not really using it to help himself and breakdown the barriers and trauma he went through, he's playing at it. Kinda like putting on a performance, which a lot of people do in real life. They go through the motions and say and do things the therapist/therapy would want them to do.

Bojack will always have a special place in my heart, despite how controversial and misunderstood his character is. He's the deepest, most realistic depiction of addiction, mental illness and trauma I've ever seen. Ofc he isn't a representation for all people, and I do worry that his extreme behavior and personal flaws contribute to the negative way society sees addicts and the mentally ill, but despite the flaws, Bojack Horsman is a great show and a great character. It's such an accurate depiction of the trauma addicts usually have, the constant guilt and self-hate, the conflict and the desperation. The ending of the show ended up being kinda melancholic and vague, but I'd like to think that Bojack did change and grow, and got his happy ending. Because if Bojack can do it, so can anyone else.

Something I have always thought is that his "first drink" as a young child doesn't look like a first drink to me. He sneaks in, he knows what the situation is, he takes a gulp from vodka and doesn't cough or splutter at all despite his age.... This feels like a regular occurrence after the many parties they do.
