Hey, everyone. This is a series where I will be sharing my thoughts as I go through a show everyone in my circle recommended for the first time. It won't be exactly a first impression as whatever episodes I talk about will be watched at least three times before sharing these thoughts

Episode 8 - Mr. Peanutbutter's Boos

Despite his lack of actions to initiate it, BoJack becomes a host of an annual Halloween party for 25 years straight.

This episode follows a formula of four different periods during the 25 years that BoJack hosted the Halloween party. Each period shows Mr. Peanutbutter going to the Halloween party with one of his ex-girlfriends/wives Katrina Peanutbutter, Jessica Biel, Diane Nguyen, and Pickles Aplenty.

Throughout the episode we see the pattern that led each of Mr. Peanutbutter's past relationships to end. We also learn of side facts about BoJack, Todd, Diane, and Princess Carolyn's lives in bits that are presented almost like easter eggs.

My Rating: 7/10

The episode's depth comes from the fact that it fixes one problem in the end as we find the difference between Pickles and the rest of Mr. Peanutbutter's exes with another problem as my problem with him is highlighted when the episode shows how little he evolves for 25 years. However, the episode still offers very little to any of the characters involved. It does provide for a few funny scenes.

Episode 9 - Ancient History

Hollyhock comes to visit BoJack on her way to start her life in college. The day doesn't go according to plan as her PTSD is triggered by the sight of BoJack's painkillers and ends up dumping them down in the sink. That prompts BoJack to go on a chase for more pills during Hollyhock's entire visit.

In the B plot, Todd and Emily try to help each other through their dating life as both seem to lack a certain aspect that leads them individually to be unhappy. Emily attempts to help Todd by creating an app for Asexuals to date and Todd, well, he creates a giant sex robot which starts a whole chain of events.

The C plot follow Princess Carolyn as she reconnects with Ralph Stilton while attempting to do business with his company. She quickly finds herself assessing her life while attempting to adopt a child in her continuous attempts to addpt a child.

My Rating: 7/10

This episode is just there. It seems to exist to tell us stuff we already know about the characters involved and that's it without the characters really breaking through to the next step and the one who does (Princess Carolyn) does so in a rather messy segment by having an idea in one scene only to go the opposite in the next. I hate seeing that as she is my favorite character in the whole show.

Episode 10 - Head in the Clouds

There are once again 3 plots in this episode so let's do them in order of least to most relevant.

Princess Carolyn finds herself in the middle of negotiation trouble as it turns out that Philbert's creator, Flip McVicker, stole a joke from a popsicle stick company. Her ability to put off fires is put to test in a funny fashion.

We also see Todd's sex robot quickly rise in the rankings of Whattimeisit in what I am pretty is going to be a social statement. But, they're doing it in a funny way so I don't mind it.

The main plot is BoJack, Gina, and Diane's time at the premiere of Philbert. BoJack finds solace in the idea of Philbert as a character to justify his actions which in turn triggers Diane while Gina's success triggers certain feelings in BoJack as all parts collide in an interesting end.

My Rating: 8/10

The first two plots mentioned are funny enough to make up for the lack of substance, they're fine for what they are. The one with BoJack directly is where all the substance is.

Throughout the season, and since the end of season 3 to be exact, we saw the divide between BoJack and Diane widens slowly and it seems to be reaching its end unless a drastic change happens which I assume that's what the final 2 episodes will be all about.

In Conclusion

I mentioned earlier how BoJack this season reminds me a lot of Gregory House in season 5 of House. But upon exploring that idea further I could definitely see a long pattern growing between the two characters. Sure, their surroundings are different somewhat but the similarities are too many to ignore.

It remains to be seen in the final two episodes whether this is a retelling of House overall or just a meeting point of two characters defined by their addiction.
