I don't think so Weigh 4-5 times a week, and I drink at least 2-3 litres daily too, weights were super constant at 74 +- 0.5 before I left, and perma 78+ after I got back. Either way that,s not really the point though :p Just trying to work out wtf I should eat as someone who seems clinically incapable of gaining muscle mass :< | ||

The amount of writing, voice acting, storyboarding and directing talent that worked on this show is a wonder. never watched it. seemed too weird for me. I might have to give it a chance. anything to save me from watching terrible disney shows | ||

Supposedly gets waayyy better in season 2 so I'll at least give it that long. As an aside though the animation bothers me. Looks like a bad flash cartoon done by the Charlie the unicorn guy. | ||

I watched the first 2 episodes of s2 or something, but it didn't really grab me like the first one did so I stopped. | ||

Most people felt the same way about season 1 - didn't like the lighthearted first 3 episodes (which many people found similar to Family Guy, with flashback jokes and characters' nonchalance) and only started getting hooked in around 4, when it started getting a lot more emotional, but simultaneously the jokes are just better written and land more, even if there's less of them. Season 2 went in that direction, opting for more darker and bittersweet notes, but it follows the same structure as S1 in the sense that it tries to build the threads and relationships in early episodes so that the events of the last 3-4 hit harder, so if you were hoping to ride the momentum from the previous seasons, that's not happening (at least not in a short run). I wonder what others think about S3 (only read a couple of reddit posts so far). In a sense it's the same "it starts slow but depressing, but only later shit hits the fan" structure, but I found it so different in many ways from the previous seasons because of the afromentioned reasons. And as promised, here's a couple of examples of what I really loved about the season. + Show Spoiler + EP1, entire episode he struggles with the realization that he's a terrible person and didn't even play in the movie (he was computer-generated) so he doesn't deserve the Oscar, but his manager tells him that this is him and his story so at the end of the episode he seems to have completely removed his doubts by saying things that are technically untrue. EP2, it's an episode set in 2007 and it's nice to see the authors make it truly different by showing us stuff that was popular back then but isn't so much anymore. Also the episode ends with him finally starting his first TV show since the one that made him famous and right after a heartfelt speech from it's producer about how everything's going to be fine, we cut to ending song that is slightly edited - "Back in 07 I was in unsuccessful tv show". EP3, Someone named a brand of heorin after Bojack. Because he's bad for you and he kills. EP4, The entire episode is underwater where only fish people can talk and that results in shitload of issues for Bojack. And in last 15 seconds it's revealed that the underwater helmet everyone's wearing actually has a button that allows you to talk, and it's been in plain sight the entire episode. EP5, Bojack wants to crash a random wedding because that's what famous people do and he's actually trying to make it fun for everyone and people seem to like it at first, but then he says something about "knowing the person you love is right for you" and it makes one of the brides doubt herself, which forces him to tell her it's actually bullshit and he believes you should settle for whatever you can or else you end up lonely and miserable like him. EP6, It's about abortion and throughout the episode Diane is shown being "right", but as she's starting to be less in "obvious right", we can see just how much selfcentered and holier-than-thou she is. Essentially the character never changes, but the angle we see her from changes so much that it's a stark contrast. EP7, Bojack talks to a sort-of-psychiatrist and decides he should take more control of his life and of course the final decision is really shitty. The final line is (sarcastically) "Well good news is bojack got what he wanted". EP8, Episode establishes that there are is a deal that two agencies are fighting for and whichever one doesn't get it is doomed. One agency is run by protagonists and the other by antagonists from S2. This time the perspective shift is slightly different, because there's nothing really to change our mind about either party. About midway through the episode, the "antagonists" state that "everything's going to be fine because we're the good guys". And at the end everything turns out fine for them because they found a piece of evidence that protagonist actually did something wrong and was lying about it. I really liked this one. EP9, Bojack decides this is the right time to fire his agent who is already on brink of dooming her company. They talk about their past and themselves and it seems like they can better understand each other, but when she asks Bojack to stay with her agency just for 6 more months so that she can survive, he says no. Credits. EP10, Yet another episode of shifting perspectives and learning more things about the characters. What sold me on this episode was when Todd was yet another person to tell Bojack about how he's making himself miserable etc etc and at the end he just sighs, completely changes his tone to more clear and quiet (it's only there you realize this character has been screaming all of his lines for past 3 seasons) and drops a rare "fuck" in a line "Fuck man, what else is there to say". Credits. EP11, It's a really good bender episode, with blackouts and hallucinations and all that good stuff. And then we get a red herring of a character overdosing and dying, and then she has few emotional moments and then she actually dies of overdosing. Also the scene of death was in a trailer, but we didn't know what's happening back then, so it's a nice touch. EP12, Everything starts to become good for everyone and then by the end they one way or another return to status quo, can't escape from who they are. | ||

I think that's what turned me off s2. I'd already gone through the "is this worth it" stage of S1 where I almost stopped watching until it became good. Was expecting S2 to start off at the good point but 1.5 episodes in it was clearly gonna be similar to S1 where it ramped up really slowly. That's fine if you're gonna binge, but if you're just gonna watch an episode here and there it's pretty boring, and I found myself just spacing out/not paying attention. | ||

Friday am with host who's got other plans, since I'm seeing the other people the next day I stick with them instead of joining with the others, don't expect to be noticed anyway so I don't warn people Saturday we ended up sleeping elsewhere (farther away) and I don't wanna disrupt people's plans to move earlier, so I reach the park we were supposed to meet at right when they leave. Accompany them to the bar where I get a reminder that people drift apart a lot faster than I do and I end up not getting to talk with one I won't see again for at least a year, so I guess it's over. Today I only see the memo that people won't organise something 'cause someone leaves early, half an hour later they add that they'll meet in front of the train station which is also where I leave from... so I arrive for my train, a bit after everyone left. Earlier this afternoon I discussed with my host about his trip in the US and how when a friend caught in the Paris attack joined them for a week afer rehab' he had to be handled at times for his survivor's guilt and psychological scars that made him reckless and aloof at times. Looks like a summary could be "you fuck up, and things often don't go your way, get over it." I'm def. skinny fat and somwhat conscious of not having exercised at all this week-end. Def. should use my firing notice to do some more. I'm not going to start cooking more or ingest a kilo of meat every day but I have yo get around the "just because we can count your ribs doesn't mean you haven't fucked up your fat levels." | ||

I feel like kids don't develop much of a conscience until later. I remember how horrible we were in middle school... It was appalling really the kind of things we did without much of a second thought. | ||

They're just old enough that they don't blindly listen to and respect adults just on the basis of them being adults anymore, but they're still too young to analyze their own behavior and develop refined senses of conscience and empathy. | ||
