Ok but. The scene in s2e09 "The Shot" fucking breaks me and here's why. BoJack sees Kelsey as a merge between his parents and Herb, what with her being older than him and jaded but also she's a boss figure. And for this reason, BoJack spends a lot of time (shown most in "Chickens" but also a lot of the season tbh) trying to win her approval because she's not giving it to him willingly. He keeps going about it in the wrong way, as we see in Chickens when he is trying to turn her actual literal daughter being in danger into a fun day out, but I think the biggest issue with this is actually that he doesn't really have anything to prove. Kelsey purposefully sought him out for the job because she genuinely believed him to be the best actor there, and although she shows frustration at him not being able to do his job properly, she does still keep this image of him in mind. Which is why the thing that actually does lead him to win her approval is him delivering a genuinely good performance, and said approval just comes in a simple recognition of his skill. BoJack has been in desperate of simple appreciation from his parents (reflected in stuff like the "I see you" theme from Free Churro) and he has been missing the attention and extremely intimate love of his performance that Herb gave him while he was directing him, and Kelsey's "no, I knew" quote manages, in three words, to deliver both to him perfectly. And THAT'S what breaks him. Between the sheer emotional connection he feels towards this woman, and the lack of this connection that he received from the people he wanted it from the most, it just becomes too much for him, and THAT'S what leads him to start crying. It is one of the most layered, emotionally intimate moments of the entire show, and it breaks me every time I watch it.

thoughts on kelsey jannings? i think shes really underrated
I totally agree with you, she's very underrated and deserves more love. She was one of my favorite side characters since the start and I was so sad when I realized she would stop appeared (I mean, as much as she was before. At that point, I haven't noticed how some character would only appear for a season). Especially with the reason it happened… It was so unfair and, well, real. So she was my favorite part of A Quick One, While He's Away. Her plot there was so frustrating but oddly comforting in the end? I was glad we could see her once again, especially after Fish Out of Water (because of her, we had my favorite quote: "Kelsey, in this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make"!!). I still wish we saw a little more of her, but I'm satisfied with her tiny arc. And I also LOVE how she likes Todd. She's so right for this.

If Herb and Kelsey met:
Kelsey: [ranting about her ex-wife]
Kelsey: …anyway, I swear I have the worst luck in love.
Herb: you think that’s bad? Try being in love with Bojack horseman

I never realized Herb Kazzaz and Kelsey Jannings had such similar storyline with Bojack at the center of a major failing of his with a major studio with them 🙃🙃

Why did I get my hopes up? Why do I keep letting you get my hopes up? It's a mistake I keep making. Next time, BoJack? Do a girl a favor and don't break her heart by inches. Do it all at once. It'll save everyone some time.

I think probably my favourite thing about BoJack Horseman is how amazing and consistently well balanced the comedy is to the drama.
These are both from the same episode.
[Transcript 1:
Kelsey: "Thanks for talking me into this, BoJack. Just so you know, I'm really glad we're making this movie together."
BoJack: "Didn't know you had it in me, did you?"
Kelsey: "No, I knew."
/End Transcript 1]
[Transcript 2:
Todd: "Margot, I thought we agreed no guns"
Margot: "Oh, is that what we agreed to? I thought we said no gum."
Todd, hushed: "But you're also chewing gum."
Margot: "I'm a wild card."

I feel like we didn’t appreciate Kelsey jannings enough. She’s the human equivalent of those “my bitch ex wife wants me to pay child support but all I wanna do is fish” memes but she’s ALSO a the kind of indie director who makes movies about lesbians learning to recycle I feel like this is an underrepresented demographic
