Bojack sets fire to the set of his new tv show. He nearly drives away his baby sister. And there is a media storm that he was present for Sara Lynn death, and was part of her drug and sex orgy for a month.

I mentioned that the Adventure Time ending was exactly what I was hoping for. I checked through my old Reddit comments and I found the proof!

Oh god, I have not cried this much over TV in a while. Both songs in that AT finale got me so hard. And my mom, too.

The phrases "got me so hard" and "got me, so hard" have quite different meanings - especially when your mother is involved.

...damnit. Walked right into that one. But ach, it did tug on the old heart strings.

So, anyone have thoughts on Villainous?

I'm making my way through Season 5 of Bojack, just finished the halfway mark with episode 6.
There have been a few underwhelming episodes about Dianne and Carolyn and their girly feeling troubles. But episode 6 was creative and original and poignant, and then it ended on a great joke. This is what Bojack is all about.
Still, I feel like overall it's going to end up being one of the less impressive seasons.

Anyone checked out Dragon Prince yet?

Finished Bojack Season 5. As predicted, it was a below-average season. Of course Bojack sets the bar pretty high, so that's not a bad thing at all. And they've certainly left a lot of doors open for things to pick up next season.

I particularly liked the Mr. Fondle side-story. A lewd idiot blatantly sexualizes every situation he's in, and everyone acts like it's normal. Then he finally does something non-sexual, and gets accused of sexual harassment. In the fallout, tons of women lose their jobs, and Mr. Fondle is offered a promotion.

Meanwhile Bojack endangers the lives of everyone around him, and nobody will hold him responsible. Mister Peanutbutter cheats on his girlfriend, and she loves him more than ever. I feel like this season is all about the idea that there is no justice, there is no karma. And of course, there are no happy endings, because the show must go on.

I mean... I think they kinda spelled that out in his drug-trip musical number.

So, finished book one of Dragon Prince. It certainly had a lot of Avatar-ish beats to it (and Sokka's voice was fairly distracting). Didn't really feel like enough happened for it to be a whole season though. And to be honest it was pretty hokey, though hopefully it will pick up as it goes on. I feel like they might've shot themselves in the foot by inviting Avatar comparisons, though then again I probably wouldn't have watched it without that "someone from Avatar worked on this" buzz.

Speaking of Avatar, though slightly off-subject here, Netflix has greenlit a live action reboot of Avatar:TLAB.

I'm disappointed that they're going with a reboot. For one thing, the original Avatar aired not that long ago, and it was done pretty well. In another 10 years, if they wanted to re-tell the story for a new generation, then sure. But right now a reboot just isn't needed. Also, they created a big universe with lots of characters; they could just as easily have told the story of Avatar Roku, or adult Aang, or stories about the non-avatar characters. Re-telling the same story just seems kinda lazy.

But apparently this is supposed to be a non-whitewashed version, so maybe it will be full of people having sex on the back of flying bisons and benders freezing and frying each other. I guess that might make it worth sitting through the same story again.

Bear in mind it doesn't start production until next year, so at earliest it still wouldn't begin until 2020.

I started watching Human Kind Of. It's a series of shorts published by Facebook about a teenage girl discovering that she is half alien.

The first episode is titled 'Attack of the Period'. It's exactly what you're thinking. And worse.

The core cast consists of a ditzy mother and enthusiastic best friend, both of whom are very high-energy and imo they are all that keeps the show interesting. I'll certainly be watching more, but I do hope it gets extended to longer episodes at some point.

Edit: Things really pick up from episode 6 onward. And the episodes do gradually get longer. This show is now firmly in my 'Would Recommend' category, with a disclaimer about the early episodes being pretty raw.

The second half of Supermansion season 3 just released on Crackle!

I'm only a couple episodes in, but so far it's some of this show's best stuff to date!

[MrWiggles]

Oh. Thank you, I am looking forward for it.

I started watching Dragon Prince but dropped it halfway through the first season. Maybe I was jumping the gun, but Viren was being reduced to a stock character and tbh his interactions with Harrow were the thing I found most interesting about the show early on
