For others, it might be "Free Churro" or "Time's Arrow" and whilst those two episodes are masterpieces of television in there own rights, this one has stuck with me the most. This is a truly original episode of television, where almost no dialogue is used throughout it, and there is something so special about that. To have a story resonate with the audience when almost no dialogue is used... there is just something so special about that.

I absolutely love the animation throughout this episode, the underwater sections contain some of the most gorgeous animation seen in all of television. The final five minutes of it resonate the most with myself, and I'm sure, plenty of other viewers. "Kelsey, in this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make". This is the line that BoJack writes down towards the end, and its so perfectly written that its stuck out as one of the best quotes in all of this show.

The final twist, where BoJack finds out that he could've avoided all of this turmoil by using the voice function on his helmet is pure gold, and the song Sea of Dreams by Oberhofer playing at the very end is possibly one of the greatest song choices in the history of television. It is... perfection. Just like this episode.

Score: 10/10
