This brings us back to me, properly zooted at 3 AM on a Thursday, watching Bojack Horseman watch his own personal version of Sliding Doors. To Bojack, life with Charlotte means more than just the satisfaction of raising a family: the day-to-day challenges of life in the woods provide structure and discipline he so badly craves, to the point where he follows a straight path all the way through to his own death. There's something very appealing about that calm logic when your life lacks obvious direction, whether you got there by making a successful fictional sitcom, or by establishing yourself as a freelancer.That said, things turn out all right for Bojack. After hitting rock bottom, he bounces back and ends season one set to star in a biopic about Secretariat. It's his dream role, as he has idolized the famed racehorse his entire life, a project with enough personal heft to give his life the meaning and direction he sought in life with Charlotte. Can he live up to the demands and responsibilities of a life with purpose? Find out in the second season! I will be tuning in to find out, probably at 3 AM in the middle of the week, for the next few months.Follow Skinny on Twitter.On Motherboard: Goodbye International Space Station, Hello Moon Village
