Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 According to Michael Eisner, it was never intended to be a Hollywood satire, it just happens to be set there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 In its darker moments, the show gets about as "arthouse" as television gets. Brilliant stuff. Enjoying season 4 so far, but it feels a little light compared to the heavy emotional highs of season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have to admit that I mostly like the show around Bojack himself. He's not compelling as a character for me. The "side" characters are much more rich and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Bojack's darkness often brings out the show's most beautiful moments though. And Bojack is a very rich character, maybe not the most appealing, but he often helps serve the show's most substantial material. I think Bojack Horseman and The Leftovers share some semblance thematically as well. Fancyarcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 GOT S7 E3. I was so annoyed when Jon started acting up. Just bend the knee already, why is it so difficult for him to realise Dany really IS the rightful queen? Cersei was really horrible to Elaria. Oh, how I wish she would die a painful death... I'm also starting to fear for Tyrion's life because his plans aren't working and Dany might think he's trying to destroy her. Bran, as usual, was stupid. Is 'it's difficult to explain' all he's gonna come up with? And poor Olenna... And great end credits music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I tried watching a program on The History Channel. It went on for hours with constant commercial breaks. In fact, it was the exact same commercials every time. I thought I was trapped in a causality loop. In the end, the program didn't actually justify such an absurdly long running length padded out by commercials. You could have gotten the same information from a Wikipedia article in 10 minutes. Even if I'd recorded the program, I would have been annoyed fast-forwarding through all the commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Jon's perspective, the regime of which Daenerys claims to be the continuation was ousted after relinquishing its right to rule, with Jon's own father being a co-leader of the faction which did the ousting. (That's quite apart from the aforementioned fact that Jon is now leading a region which has announced its secession from the union!) So it isn't a question of him failing to realise the truth of the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
