BoJack Horseman - Season 4 episode 11 ending

BoJack Horseman season 4 episode 11

BoJack Horseman Time's Arrow (s04e11)

[AnEnemySpy]

The saddest thing about this scene is that when he asks her if she can taste the ice cream, he unknowingly breaks the illusion.

[sheilabadeila]

"Mommy's tired, BoJack. Tell me a story."

[joelhenry]

Props to bojack for this. He could of just left her in her misery. But despite his awful childhood he did one thing he really didn't have to and leave her with a good memory... Really proud of him in this episode

[alsndiego]

This scene finally convinced me completely that Bojack can truly change

[Hawlo]

This scene hit me the hardest from all of the new season because I don't ever want to be in a situation where my own mother won't recognize me or my sister. I almost cried when she "woke up" and recognized BoJack and she was visibly scared that she didn't know where she was.

[enriquel.b.]

My heart shattered into pieces during this scene. This season was so intense.

[frrr]

Holy shit Bojack honestly has one of the most compelling arcs of any TV show ever. Bea ruined his life, from the day of his birth to poisoning Hollyhock. But he still did the right thing and helped her.

[robaidhinnes]

This was the happiest ending that Bojack could have provided for his mother. Even after all she had pit him through he still did care for her at the very end.

[nom-cha]

This becomes a lot more powerful when you consider that Bojack doesn't know about Beatrice's past in as much detail as the audience. His perception of her is solely based on the abusive and traumatic youth and the consequences on his personal life.


And yet, at this moment of opportune vulnerability, where Bojack has all the power and all the reasons, decides to comfort her - describing a most beautiful scene.

[VitinLins]

have anyone noticed that every season the episode 11 is where the heaviest emotional stuff happens? bojack's bad trip, him and penny almost making out, sarah lynn's death... and now this episode

[TheMadQueen]

I work with the elderly so I end up seeing stuff like this very often (apart from the "see you never"). If sons, daughters or even old friends aren't there to reassure them I sit down and talk with confused dementia patients, playing along and doing what BoJack does here. I've had to pretend that it's WWII or that I'm somebody's lost son or had to reassure people in their nineties that their parents are just at work and haven't been dead for decades.

Out of the entire show, the Bea storyline has probably hit me the hardest. Despite being a cartoon horse I've never seen a more accurate portrayal of dementia in a character, and her moment of clarity as well as BoJack's kindness to a woman who treated him like garbage just...

"That's too much, man!"

[Pokefan]

Holy shit
1:06

“We’re listening to your brother play the piano” the only way Bojack could know about that was if Beatrice told Bojack about her childhood

[ValerieHeart]

I cried on this part..

His mom was never allowed to have ice cream when she was younger and she paused when saying yes because of that. She doesn't know what it tastes like. BoJack is showing signs of change here too. He wanted to tell her off for so long, but when it finally came he did a good thing.

Such a great season. Season 3 left on that hanger and this one wraps up a lot better. I will be content waiting for the next season now.

[theramdomchannel]

It's so tragic that she was so afraid of ending up like her mother, who lost her mind due to depresion and abuse... and then she herself lost her mind slowly, naturally due to an illness

[inferno]

There is a stage in dementia called paradoxical lucidity. It happens in the very last stage, just weeks or days before the sufferer dies. This surprisingly common occurance gives the patient an understanding of where they are, who they are, and decent access to their formerly "lost memories". Family members can often mistake this for their dementia being cured.
This is one of the most genuinely depressing things a dementia carer can witness.

[ZapchonNG]

The fact that she still doesn't know what ice cream tastes like is so fucking heartbreaking

[ferouihamza]

the character development is great on bojack

[isaiahwilliams]

Looking back through the show, it's clear what the main theme of Bojacks family is: Neglect.
Beatrice's father and grandfather never were taught or learned how to show compassion and comfort those who need it. When Butterjack died, he refused to support his wife, then when Beatrice got Scarlet Fever and burned her doll, he failed to comfort her as well when she needed it most. When Bojack was born, niether Beatrice nor Butterscotch never once showed love or compassion to him.
When Henrietta got pregnant, Beatrice thought she was supporting her, by paying her tuition and setting her life up, but when she took the baby, she neglected her the comfort she really may have needed.
Bojack, instead of giving her the "Fuck you" he wanted, comforted her, showing the love and compassion that was never there before, resulting in him ending the cycle of neglect.

[Smugalov]

The hesitation and Beatrice sort of sagging before she said delicious was heartbreaking. She never got ice cream and just decided to settle with "delicious" to describe it, I think.

[chengleongchan]

As sad as this scene is, i cant stop imagining how "the fireflies are dancing in the sky" and "the crickets are chirping" are going to look like in bojack's world lol
