JESUS that end of last season "you gotta do it every day" plus some recent social foibles plus making a chore-wheel for my roommates AND job rotation for my socialist group combined to make me realize a really stupid attitude I gotta break out of.

I have always prided myself on my ability to impulsively do nice/helpful things. But truly being nice/helpful means breaking past the impulse and deciding to do those things even when you don't feel like it.

I realized this because I felt a weird reluctance to mark that I had done my task on the chore wheel, because it felt "fake" somehow to do the task I was assigned. Rather than waking up a Clean and Organized ("good") person and doing it without being asked. This was so transparently stupid that it broke through 29 years of bad mental habits, just for a moment.

I guess if you had said this out loud to me I would have said "duh I know that." But. This time it really slapped me in the face.

It would probably be good if all of this stuff you guys are writing convinced me to watch this thing, but I think about it for half a second and then go watch a stupid anime instead.

Not stupid in a good way... Aside from the stupid one, I'm also watching a kind of boring one called Sakura Quest. It's about a bunch of cute girls trying to revive a dying rural town.  One of those topics on Japan would make a cartoon about.

"Thoughts and prayers."

I didn't laugh at this until the next day when I saw someone post it on Facebook. Not ironically, but for real.

I take this to mean season 5 is in the works.

I watched it. Good show. I kind of already forget a lot of what happened though. The mom episodes made me want to die.

Question: what became of the Sugarman sugar cube company and the associated family fortune? Did Beatrice ever actually inherit it? I don't think that's covered.

I suspect season 5 will give us similar background on Butterscotch. Also, did you notice, when BoJack is going through Bea's things to find the envelope, there's a copy of his dad's book. I predict BoJack will read it, it's actually good, and he tries to get it made into a movie.

Hmm. I did not notice that. Also not sure what happened to the Sugarman Fortune.

Finished it a few days ago -- thought the whole season was very well done.  Ended on an oddly optimistic note.

What's Bojack's brand of whiskey? It's there all the time but now I can't think of it or find it on the interwebs.


Answering my own question, finally: Guten Bourbon. The urban German bourbon!

My assumption is that Bojack has already inherited the money. Given his extravagant lifestyle, and they mentioned that his salary for Bojack, at least at the start, was $28.000 per episode, it's clear he would have been broke many years before the show began. It's Sugarman Sugar Cube money he's spending, not Horsin' Around cash.
