What notes did HBO have?
It's funny, I actually have an email from [senior vp of comedy programming] Amy Gravitt where she said, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but can we have more screen time with the horses having sex?" She actually asked for more sex [Laughs.] She was right though, so we put it behind some more shots than we originally had. You might as well go all the way, right?

All the chain jokes this week....
:solidgold:
im kinda totally sick of the bachman / bighead thing especially since its obvious that its only happening so when bighead gets sued for spilling the beans about the internet scrubbing, bachman ends up somehow getting sued as well because their equity firm opens him up to risk.
also and im just saying i feel like using 'richard being a fuckup' to compel every plot turn is lazy.
there is more than enough idiosyncratic lunacy in every day silicon valley corporate reality to fuel this show.
love it, it resonates personally, but im just saying.
I love this show. How can you be sick of something that just happened last episode? There should have been no reason for you to know that Big Head would talk of the internet scrubbing thing. Big Head was fired before Gavin made that order. It seems like you will be right and this will happen, and I don't know a lot about NDA's, so maybe Big Head hearing about it second hand after he left the company and talking about it can violate it.
I don't like the Richard being a complete fuck up thing either. The chair fail was hacky and over the top, but Jared saving it for him was one of the few heart warming scenes in the show. His loyalty knows no bounds and he's a crazy fuck without knowing he's a crazy fuck. He went from my least favorite character to almost favorite character.
I'm also way turned off by Erlich now. He always cut corners and whatnot but I can't remember him just 100 percent trying to big time fuck a guy over. Especially with his shares of Pied Piper being worth 25 million right now.

They also can't all be winners, this show just left me uncomfortable. The tall nerd stole the show this week though.
Just to illustrate how confused the show is getting, when Jared was reciting O Captain My Captain I was like "wow this is pretty good" and suddenly I realized I was expected to feel like this was one of Jared's awkward moments because Richard was omg shut it down you weirdo.

He says that every episode if you haven't been keeping up. It's his acerbic nature. The fine line between lauding and disdain.Quote:

10m mark: im mystified by how unfunny this ep has been so far.
tabs vs spaces jokes are back and they werent funny in the first place.
jesus christ round 3 of the tabs v spaces jokes.
now its jokes _about_ jokes about tabs vs spaces and still not very funny at all.
i reallllllly dont need 30 minutes of socially awkward pratfalls, thats not why i tuned in.
HAHAHAH
JARED... NICE... USING THAT DICK.
ok that shit got me.
so the whole episode is basically a tabs vs spaces superjoke and thats just awful. just simply terrible.
JESUS RODRIGUEZ CHRIST THIS IS AN EPISODE OF *FRIENDS*
also in case its not obvious emacs is for total ass faggots and vim is fucking rule, chug that shit.
seriously? sad rhodes music while dinesh gets slayed in video chat?
also hey remember when gilfoyle was a literal satanist? and now hes not?
funny jokes:
1
Safe to assume this show sucks now?
it wasnt a good ep. its earned a few bad ones tho.
Yeah they're batting .500 for pretty much every season. It's not all gold, and I hate the plot lines that just make me feel uncomfortable. Tabs v Spaces is perhaps a new low, but I could envision myself at the Alcatraz party.
omg crazy richard misunderstands something and almost costs everyone their future.
This show is way too fucking real at this point.
literally guaranteed if jace likes its terrible
It's a funny show with funny actors and a bad plot.
/thread
Well at least Gilfoyle is back to being a satanist again.
TJ Miller is leaving the show after this season.
Honestly I'm kinda shocked but I also get it... HBO is fucking retarded when it comes to paying its actors, the show is dancing on the cliff-edge of sucking now, and TJ is the only actor on it whose been able to parlay his work into an actual career.
Whats fucking cray is that the show is signed for a season 6, which will somehow happen without literally the only funny character on it.
Short of whats her face having explicit sex scenes with her autistic boss, I think Im done.
Her name is Amanda Crew... and I apporveQuote:

Billions or Silicon Valley? Which is better?

Overall, just want a comparison, never seen silicon valleyQuote:

SV is funny on occasion but mostly for me its just humorously familiar. A lot of the dot com dynamics they riff on, I've lived through first hand, so it can be cathartic to laugh.
SV also has TJ Miller who is consistently great but hes bailing at the end of this season, probably for the same reason the shows audience is starting to grouse louder and louder about how every fucking plot twist on the show is a variation of the exact same themes, and how the pithy one liners are getting less and less pithy, and how they are just running out of material in general.
I fast forwarded through some of the last episode. It was necessary. I dont do that when I watch shows for grownups that deserve respect.
Put me in the canceled HBO to go until GOT starts pile.
Catch you fags in July.
