Since I initially forgot to add the scene with Beatrice demanding Bojack sing the lollipop song, here’s an edit with it added in: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VAcrtTZO8yE.html
There's a very subtle difference in the version with gina vs. Sarah Lynn. Gina says "until the curtains fall." In theater, once you are off stage, you're free to move out of character. When the show ends, you're done. Sarah Lynn says "'Til the curtain call." The curtain call is the end, coming out to bow, accept your praise. Gina suggests that once you can't be seen, you can stop. Sarah Lynn's suggests that even in death, she has to keep dancing; in the form of her lasting legacy being abused and used for the benefit of others.
@@Gokubowser oh bojack there is no place. this is just your brain going through what it thinks it needs to go through. Maybe someone will come save you maybe not
Secretariat's speech is the only part of Bojack I can't watch all the way through. That "halfway down" part is the thing almost nobody talks about but as a survivor that was the most terrifying moment of my life.
@@rachelwolf6297 I can't imagine being in such a position. To be so miserable and empty that you feel you need to end it but at that last second finding that small reason to keep going. For what it's worth I'm really glad you didn't succeed in your attempt. I hope you're in a better place now
@Autumn Potato When she was an elderly woman with dementia, he literally had power over her for that time, because he had executive rights as her closest remaining relative while she was not sound of mind. He could literally do anything he wanted with her that wasn't illegal. I like that the show made the distinction that someone being antagonistic to you doesn't mean a power imbalance doesn't exist. Everyone that Bojack hurt that way he saw it as him reacting to them making the first move (Gina took his pills, Beatrice drugged Hollyhock, Penny and Sarah Lynn went to him first for guidance/affection), none of that makes what he did OK and that's part of owning your own shit.
@@jjj7790 No one said that those things make it OK. And his mom did have a lot of power over him, even when she had dementia, she was capable of saying one line and completely ruining him, even when she died she had a lot of power over him "I C U" fucked him up for a while after her death, so yeah.
It's so depressing how Gina tells Bojack to not say anything about abusing her, because she wants to be known for something. Not as someone who was abused by Bojack.
That's because when men, usually ones with a platform, mess with a girl/woman, consenting or not, that's all that the girl/woman will be know for. Not her talent, intellect, personality, contributions, or anything meaningful that she's ever done in life. All she will be known for is that one chick that the powerful man messed with THAT ONE TIME. That's it. And when a guy messes with you like that, all you want to do is forget about him and move on, but it's so difficult to do when word gets out and EVERYONE is talking about it in person and on social media, so now you are no longer your own person. Just that one chick that the popular guy messed with. Nothing that you do from there on out will change that. And if by some miracle you do see any change, you are most likely very old.
@@awilli182 Comment aged like fine wine. Jenni Hermoso was on the winning team for the Women's Soccer World Cup and everyone only knows her as the girl who got forcibly kissed by Luis Rubiales
The PTSD she went through after Bojack choked her made her seem difficult to work with to those that don't know the truth. It makes me think, how many "difficult" actors are there that went through something similar but they don't want to be known as victims of more powerful people so they just accept being a "diva" or "difficult" to work with?
In the first episode Bojack actually says to young Sarah Lynn: "You gotta give the people what they want, even if it kills you, even if it empties you out until there's nothing left to empty. No matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, you don't stop dancing, and you don't stop smiling, and you give those people what they want."
And before he realizes Diane didn't pick up his call, he's under the table in a kitchen just like Sarah Lynn in the episode of "Horsin' Around", which itself is based of Bojack's mother speech forcing him to sing to a party as a child and, again, Bojack is under the table hiding.
@@BryceZed this show is so good. It's so funny, and yet absolutely guts you. It's a true tragedy - there's so many things he should have done differently, but he never would have because everything that happened to mm led him to make those decisions. Poor Sarah Lynn.
@@thefreelancequeen omg, I'm actually disappointed and livid about that, we never even get to see gina at all for the rest of the finale..I'm guessing it was rushed due to show ending :/
I have mixed feelings with Gina’s ‘ending’. I wanted the reporters to find out what happened and expose it. I wanted Gina to open up about it and heal. But it was her decision not to tell anything and I am glad that BoJack and the creators respected that and didn’t bring it up again. Because it also reflects a very sad truth. And I am even more happy that they let us know that Gina got the part for Fireflame. She deserves everything.
@@thefreelancequeen in one of the last episodes there's a billboard that shows Gina became the lead of that female superhero movie! Very small detail but it's gives us something
In Bojack's defense you don't leave muffins in the produce section, I'd think they just decided they didn't want them. Who leaves muffins in the produce section and assumes that it is an indicator of dibs?
The hands on Sarah Lynn’s shirt gave me chills. She wore the same outfit to Herb’s funeral, but it was also implied that her stepfather molested her when she was little. That whole sequence was just haunting.
Before Sara Lynn fell through the door, she said “don’t stop dancing-“ she never finished the whole line/chorus: don’t stop dancing till the curtains calls” indicating that she ended the line early and also her life ended too early
"The decision to have Sarah Lynn fall through the door before ending the line with “‘til the curtain call” reinforces that, even in her death, Sarah Lynn is still 'dancing.’ Her mother continues profiting off of her, even capitalizing off of her death with ads like “I’d die for a Pepsi!” BoJack helped start all of this, the regret that has this song playing in his mind again. He’s become powerless to stop it."
@@FlailSnail222 yes! it’s such a great detail i also remember seeing someone say that shes the only one who stares into the abyss before jumping bc it symbolises her waiting to be saved for those 17 minutes that bojack was in the parking lot it’s all just very sad :(
Notice how she looks down through the door for a while before falling. Do you think that in those 17 minutes, she was alive, staring at death in the face until it was too late?
Sarah Lynn's reprise is a summarization of her whole life: Starting out innocently enough, rising in fame, turning high, and first reminiscing on the words 'Don't Stop Dancing'... before descending into madness and popularity, sexualized, objectivied, turned into a goddess, seeing her image everywhere; then, abandonment, silence, and loneliness, as well as the awareness of what awaited her. She herself noted, at the end of her very first appearance in the show, how she would inevitably die young. The tragedy is, Sarah Lynn had been staring down at death in the face for even longer.
@@omnipotentbanana1576 probably because she's acknowledging that it was her drug addiction which ended her early (heroin cuts off the oxygen to kill you) and also it cuts off before "till the curtain call" because even after her death she can't rest since her mom uses her fame and capitalizes off of it
Stephanie Beatriz is a gem. No wonder why she got casted as Mirabel for Encanto. Her voice is so beautiful, and the song is catchy. On the other hand, from the perspective of Sarah Lynn, it just makes me cry. Her whole life was a public show and even when she died, everything was so public. I love this show.
Because she’s still part of the conversation in Hollywoo, she hasn’t stopped. Might be why she sings curtail call, which is the beginning of the play, rather than curtain falls, which is the end of the show.
She was waiting for bojack to save her in those 17 minutes (part where she stares at the abyss) and then she stopped breathing ( part where she held her nose) and finally decided to let go as she would still live on in the world
Is Sarah Lynn using “old sport” in her version of the song a reference to The Great Gatsby, where the main character dies in a pool much like how Bojack almost died?
yes, they made a gatsby reference way earlier in the series referring to the symbolism of the green light, but Bojack didn't know, so the person who mentioned it was like read a book
Also the author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, later became a failed scriptwriter and died in Hollywood of a heart attack in 1940. Many of his works are similar to the The Great Gatsby portraying poor men getting the rich girl, much like the story of Bojack's parents.
One thing to also notice is in ginas version, she refers to life ending as the curtains falling, but Sarah Lynn refers to it as the curtain call. If you’ve ever participated in a school play or anything of that nature, you’ll know curtain call is when all the actors come out on stage and take a bow, it technically happens after the show is over (I.e. the curtain falling) I think of this as performing until people see the real you, not the character you put on every day to make people think you’re put together. This is what Sarah Lynn does her entire life. Instead of living genuinely until the show is over, she performs until her true messy self outweighs the image she displays. Just a neat thought.
It could also be about how in Sarah Lynn's case, she's still just as much a topic of rumours and sensationalism even after her death as she was before. So she hasn't stopped dancing, even after the curtains fell.
@@pikachuboladaum5944 This is a neat thought, and pretty smart to connect the two, but I'm pretty sure that's just the sound of the backdrop falling back into place
Another thing I noticed is sarah lynn's version says "old sport" instead of "my friend". "Old sport" is Gatsby's catchphrase in The Great Gatsby, and Gatsby ends up dying in his pool after getting shot. Not too far fetched to call it a reference?
Sarh Lynn holding her nose right before diving into the darkness reminds me of her first scene, where we see her depicted as Ophelia; she drowns - not in water, but from the pressure.
That Ophelia painting was a nice piece of foreshadowing. Ophelia's death is collateral damage of Hamlet's story, just like how Sarah Lynn is the collateral damage of Bojack's
She was also staring into a void that makes her life look insignificant just like how she died. She died looking at space as Bojack talks about being in the moment.
Also with heroin overdoses you actually die by suffocation cos you stop breathing, so her holding her breath is accurate to how she died. Making it even more chilling
When Sarah Lynn cut Bojack's apology off, it's such a small detail that maybe ssys a lot. We find out later this is all just in Bojack's head as he's drowning, so why have her cut him off in the one moment he can finally talk to her, even if it's in his own head? Deep down, he probably realizes it doesn't matter. He's apologized to people he's hurt countless times, thinking that will solve things, but it doesn't. It won't change that Sarah Lynn is dead, and it won't ultimately change how he feels about it. Deep down, he knows that's true with everyone he's ever apologized to. And he needs to sit and listen to someone he's hurt, someone he abandoned, without his defense mechanisms of interjecting or arguing or projecting or demeaning himself. He has to just watch, as part of the audience, instead of the performer that ultimately made and killed Sarah Lynn.
AGREED!!! Also, the way she says "this is MY time!" could be a parallel about how she tried to find her own legacy but it was not only way too short, but BoJack was the reason she's like that in general. He put pressure on her, he got her on that bender, he waited 17 minutes to get help.
This also ultimately alligns with his last interaction with Herb before Herb's death. Bojack apologized to Herb, not to actually ammend what he had done in order for Herb to be angry at him, or even to just make Herb feel better about what had happened between them, but to make himself feel better because he had thought that Herb had little time left. He wanted to exaunerate himself of the guilt of what he did, while Herb's feelings were an afterthought. Then he was genuinely shocked and bewildered at the fact that Herb, of course, did not forgive him. He couldn't even understand how or why Herb couldn't forgive him, as if his actions hadn't essentially shot their friendship in the heart, and his apology was only there to watch as it bled out and died. Herb not forgiving him is probably a huge moment that plays into why Sarah Lynn cut him off, as well as why in general, he feels him apologizing won't mean anything in the end. Because the first time he did try to apologize to somebody who he did genuinely hurt, he got the cold, raw truth, that apologizing doesn't just mean that everything is going to be okay.
I think Bojack is quietly aware of the in fact his narcissism got her killed so she herself cuts him off when he starts making the apology about himself "I" should've protected you- "Bojack, this is "my", time" "Of course!" Maybe he wants to feel he did right by her, by dedicating the attention he didn't give her when she was dying, the attention that could've saved her.
Cem Sakalli not by its fans, no. But this show is a really rare show to see people talk about and i think it will fate out of the public contiouns, but atleast for us, we will know: there is always more show.
Something tells me that unfortunately it will be forgotten. I've been telling people how great this show is, but I'm afraid it will still be overshadowed by shows like Breaking Bad and GoT. And I'm sad about that.
@@unowen7591 it's also a tough sale... Specially season one people look at it without knowing anything about it and will just think, oh animal family guy...
I can confirm this. I’ve been trying to get my dad to watch the show, but he can’t get into it. I keep trying to tell him to just keep watching and then he’ll be hooked.
I miscounted while I was watching through and thought for sure that this was the last one. I was pretty sure that there were supposed to be eight new episodes and I was on episode eight.
@@qctye I mean, there were multiple occasions where Bojack attempted. Twice by drowning and one by letting go of the wheel while driving on the highway.
Princessaur _ seeing them side to side really draws the parallels both have. With Bojack worried about something in the beginning to him being startled by the ending of the musical number. If episode 15 doesn’t get an Emmy I’ll be surprised.
@@Emerly the Emmys and other award shows are mostly rigged and rarely ever give awards to the great shows, they just give it to whichever rakes in the most money
So I actually had to check but it's like right on the second man holy shit that is an amazing observation and ironic given bojacks experiences relating to the number💀
The whole bit about “The chatter stops, the crowed departs” and just how everyone forgets all about you once you die. I had a moment when I first saw this
The creepiest thing to me is that the first time I watched The View From Hallway Down and I saw her sit at the piano I immediately thought about Gina's song, so when Sara Lynn said "life is a-" I had to pause it and just sit for a minute becuase how the hell did I know she was gonna sing that
What do you mean? This came before the view from halfway down. Also, when did you see her on the piano? Again, she was already gone by the time the view from halfway down came
yea, it's kind of what beatrice did her whole life, she never stopped, she never gave up like her mother, she got married and had a kid and did the things she needed to do and she was still unhappy, until she died
@@blaccnblu yeah, that scene always pissed me off because some of her notes actually sounded good. It wasn’t good as a whole but with some vocal training and a better song for her voice she’d be fine
She sounded alright she just wasn’t confident in it and bojack just pushed her with no notice which destroyed any confidence she had left since she failed.
@@Emerly It was most definitely well deserved. Bojack Horseman is a damn roller coaster ride of a show. Like I didn't know what I was signing up for when I started watching.
Michael Thompson When it first came out and I saw the trailer, I thought it was gonna be another crude adult animation. I gave it a chance and powered through until “The Telescope.” Holy shit that’s when I realized that there’s more to this show than the slapstick corny humor it had in the episodes before that. Ever since then it’s been my favorite show that I’ve ended up showing people. It definitely deserves an Emmy after this last season with The View From Halfway Down.
President Obama it was time. It couldn't have ended a better way. Bojack gets sent to prison where he can't make anymore decisions, he fixes the only F-word with Todd. Diane moves on with her new life and Princess Carolyn gets the family she always wanted.
I don't think Bojack was ever a villan. The vast majority of the things that he's done was ever done was malicious intent. He was just somebody that was just put in a bad situations and responded negatively to those situations
@@jankoleon3785This implies that you have to be malicious to be a villain. I disagree. Everyone is the hero in their own story. I think even H*tler thought he was doing the world a great service that no one appreciated.

I like how Sarah lynns reprise isn’t exactly sung in a sad ballad format. The beginning is slow, but gina’s definitely had the vocal upper-hand. Anyone who doesn’t know the context behind these characters wouldn’t be able to fully get the emotional impact of the reprise since it’s fueled by characterization. It doesn’t rely entirely on the music for an emotional reaction
I like how the version for Gina is “when the curtains fall” because of her interest in musical theatre whereas the version for Sarah Lynn is “til the curtain call” because she was in an actual tv setting, just a cool little detail
My favorite part of the first sequence is how Gina is performing it like a Broadway musical, which was her dream to be in, and which Bojack feels guilty over for having pushed her to pursue. His subconscious is such a brutal critic; it's delicious irony and great attention to detail by the staff writers. I can't believe I missed it on my first go of it.
something i only just noticed is how the way Sarah Lynn’s song progresses represent the life she lived. At the start we see her playing the piano, her voice is soft- innocent. This represent her naïvety as she joined the show business. But as the beat drops and she goes down the pole it’s heavily auto tuned and uses a fast backing track. This, I assume, represents how she had no control of the velocity of her fame- how artificial her life became. The pole represents how sexualised she became, how she falls down the pole ultimately representing her downfall. I also thought it was interesting of how the piano starts on the floor and rises upwards as she speeds up- showing her rise to fame. Then the ending, empty, solemn. She was so alone at the end of her life, she had nothing, no one. The backing track is soft, but she isn’t controlling it- this represents her grasp on life is gone- the drugs have taken over, they control her life now. This was probs really obvious but I found it really cool.
The amount of self sabotage expressed in the first half, "You don't want everything to be fine, how dreadfully boring". it's actually worrying how relatable this part can be, it's depressing.
Also kinda fits in with the context of pop singers not having the best singing voices... which is why alot of those style of pop songs had such obvious methods of hiding this fact. But hey, can't blame her. My voice sucks ass but I love singing!
They were perhaps referencing Angela Diaz since she did get rid of Herb bc he was caught "acting gay" and then she tried to get rid of Bojack's scenes from Horsin Around as well after everything started to come down for him (that's the reason why he relapsed and broke into his old home)
When i first saw this scene in "The View From Halfway Down" my first thought was that flashback to Bojack in Horsin Around where he told Sarah Lynn that no matter what, she can never stop dancing for the crowd. Forget which episode it was tho :/
"a needle drops, the music starts, a song you taught me when i was small. don't stop dancing. don't stop dancing." its very fitting that this is the final line she ever speaks in the show before dropping into the abyss. she was lamenting that that Bojack was the one that taught her that. Bojack told her back when she was a child 'don't stop dancing' and that in the end became her life mantra. he taught her that song when she was small and she kept on dancing until the day she dropped. and since this all takes place in Bojack's head, _he is telling this to himself_ this show is a god damn work of art.
Sarah Lynn last line in the entire series was in bojack's head. "Don't stop dancing." Which is the mantra she lived her life by mostly thanks to Bojack. Her last line before she died was "I want to be an architect." A reflection of what she wanted to be, something, that in that episode, Bojack ignored.
The call he had with Diane at the end left me in tears.. It reminded me of a time I tried overdosing and I just sat there wishing I had someone to call and it hurt a lot. Edit: thank you everybody for your support :) without you guys I wouldn’t have the motivation for everyday triumphs like I do now. Thank you so much for all of your support ❤️❤️
TheMineEmerald I am thankfully. I still struggle with the thoughts here and there but I talk to friends as much as I can and I haven’t attempted suicide in over a year now thankfully
Sarah lynns line" bojack, its my time" while it makes me laugh, it seems like it's because Bojack wants her to be remembered for her own thing, not him.
And also, with the fact that the entire episode takes place in BoJack's mind, her subtle dismissal is a sign that he'll never be able to forgive himself for what he did to Sarah Lynn. -ᴛʜᴀɴᴋs ғᴏʀ ʀᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ.
I love this homage to "Cabaret", thematically. This number seems heavily influenced by Sally Bowles' last song, "Cabaret", which is all about giving in to this lifestyle of self-absorption, addiction, and a never-ending chase after fame and success (which, in both this show and the musical, is never fulfilled and ends in misery or death).
I love the subtlety of Gina's outfit being the same of Judys Garland in the famous "get happy" performance from Summer Stock (1950). It is so thematically appropriate and meaningful considering the lyrics and Garlands life itself
The “View from Halfway Down” wasn’t excessively creepy, but it did have the right amount to make it terrifying. I just noticed the little details like the brick wall unexplainably opening for Sarah Lynn, and that the outlines of the windows around 3:12 are shaped like tombstones.
“Find some way to cut your pain to portions we can buy at the mall” has always stuck with me. Those distressing lyrics paired with the upbeat music is just so haunting. Living is a nightmare, but you have to fake a smile and don’t stop dancing the whole way through
Reprise of Don't Stop Dancing is my favorite song for Bojack. Creepy, and alluding to the problem of the entertainment industry all while maintaining the ominousness of it all.
Gina’s song has the line “don’t stop dancing till the curtains fall” which means she had the ability to stop after the shows were over. Sarah Lynn had the line “don’t stop dancing till the curtain call” and a curtain call is where the actors stay behind after the shows to talk to the fans, answer questions, etc. and It’s so depressing because it shows that Sarah lynn had to keep dancing all her life even after horsing around even though she wanted to be an architect.
In case anyone doesn't know, the outfit Gina wears in her version of the number is a replica of the one worn by Judy Garland in the number "Get Happy" from the 1950 movie Summer Stock. Garland famously sang and recorded the movie while going through an extreme depressive crisis she was only barely recovering from after an extended leave. She went back due to a combination of her own thoughts about completing the film, but also largely due to the heavy pressure of executives, a pressure she'd felt since she was 16. Judy Garland died at 47 of an overdose, supposed to be self-inflicted.
Life is a never ending show old sport. Except the minor detail that it ends. The overtures a lifetime but the show is short, here with your family and friends. You run the race, you blurt your lines, they put your face on shirts and shrines and giant signs a thousand feet tall. And don’t stop dancing don’t stop dancing til the curtain call. (Extends to show drugged Sarah Lynn). Shows are a never ending life of course. A silhouette they stays when you are gone. What use is the struggle and the strife, old horse. End it and your legacy lives on. (Sarah Lynn spins until her voice echos into nothingness). The chatter stops, the crowd departs, a needle drops, the music starts. A song you’ve taught me when I was small. Don’t stop dancing. Don’t stop dancing. (Sarah Lynn then looks into darkness revealing nothing after death. She then holds a breath and drowns.)
2:46 The term “old sport” is used here by Sara Lynn and also In The Great Gatsby, where Gatsby would usually address people “old sport. He was shot and his body fell into his pool. Which is like Bojack almost drowning in his own pool.
The most underrated part of this whole thing is Sarah Lynns costume design during her song. The hands all symbolise different parts of her life, the sexual abuse form her step-dad, the way she was taken advantage of in the show business and her addiction. And yet nobody points it out, even though it’s one of my favourite things in the show tbh..
i see how it represents abuse but you’re saying each hand represents something different? I could see if they all could represent all those things but they all look the same tbh
Things I noticed in this video- Don’t Stop Dancing (Original) 00:00 00:38 All of the people we’ve seen Bojack wrong in the series 00:45 Refrence to Sarah Lynn’s death in the planetarium 00:50 Bojack’s house, Bojack’s boat, the planetarium, Mr Peanutbutter’s old house, and the D from the Hollywoo sign Bojack stole for Diane 00:55 The show where Bojack’s letter to Secretariat was read (and where Secretariat gave the ‘don’t stop running’ speech) 1:08 Refrences to when Bojack took Beatrice’s doll, when Bojack slept with Charlotte’s daughter, when Sarah Lynn found the alcohol Bojack was drinking on-set when he was playing in Horsin’ Around, and when he stole Diane the D from the Hollywoo sign 1:15 Reference to when Bojack went to live in the Sugarman summer home 1:25 Refrence to when Bojack let go of the wheel whilst driving in a possible suicide attempt 1:35 Possible reference to the party where Beatrice met Butterscotch, and a reference to Beatrice’s death Don’t Stop Dancing (Reprise) 2:12 2:18 Sarah Lynn is wearing an inverted version of the outfit she wore to Herb’s funeral, the hands could be a possible reference to the abuse she faced from her stepfather 3:18 The song turns from a calm piano to a remixed, pop-type song similar to the music Sarah Lynn made as a pop star 3:48 A reference to the time where Bojack talks to a younger Sarah Lynn about how ‘you don’t stop dancing’ 4:05 Sarah Lynn holds her breath before jumping, possibly a reference to how a heroin overdose kills you by stopping your breathing (she also never finishes the last line, a possible reference to how her life was cut short) Thank you for reading! This took so long so I hope someone appreciates this-
Also, Sarah Lynn’s reprise has “old sport” instead of “my friend”, which could be a reference to Gatsby since he usually said old sport and drowned just like how Sarah Lynn took her last breath.
Also, when the pop bit ends, it represents the end of Sarah Lynn's pop career, with an empty silence standing in for the empty emotional state we first see her in, combined with her line "the chatter stops, the crowd departs".
I have not watched the show but it is interesting how the first one is performed in a way that indicates he is rising to fame, while the second one is more so him looking back on his fame
I think it's interesting how Gina's line is "until the curtains fall" and Sarah Lynn's is "until the curtain call". The former seems to be more sudden, like the curtains will fall without warning, and since you'll never know when, you can afford to ever stop giving your all even if it drains you completely. Even though Gina sings this, I think it actually fits better with Sarah Lynn's life. Sarah Lynn herself however says "curtain call" indicating that you'll have some notice or warning for when things are about to end and you don't have to keep straining yourself forever. Since it's pretty likely that Gina will go on to have a normal life and death after the show, my best guess is that they mirror each other's lives and deaths, similarly to how they mirror each other with the lines "life is a never-ending show" vs "shows are a never-ending life".
@@Emerly could you prove me right/wrong? Im pretty sure bojack flatlines in the “view from halfway down”, could you overlay that with sarahlynns line when she starts looking at the door? You dont have to of course, its your channel and all that jazz. I dont own any video editing software and tbh im lazy.
I honestly thought they were gonna show the scene from the Horsin Around set when Bojack instilled this lesson in Sarah Lynn when Sarah Lynn looked through the door, and I would NOT have been okay!
Wait at 1:42 she's dressed like his mom, dances backwards into the coffin and then she keeps dancing. I feel like there's some crazy symbolism I don't understand
I think it's because: A- we know that Beatrice died in the series. B- we know Beatrice was the one to tell Bojack, "Don't Stop Dancing", and the fake Beatrice in this song never stopped dancing
