Silicon Valley

What did i think about the latest episode?

I love that Mike Judge isnt adding any permanent love interest characters for women to relate to

lol

how's being a virgin going for you

I miss Russ.

I liked how that tumblr bitch from last season only showed up for 5 seconds when they were looking for cheap coders then disapeared again because fuck that character

My boyfriend broke up with me because of the last episode, because it brought up Vim vs Emacs

i loved that.

I thought "here comes the token female character", but then they made fun of the left and kicked her out.

not good bro will you talk about it with me

m'lady was killing me

just go to /fit/

you still won't meet any woman but at least you'll have some swole bodies to admire

Tabs > Spaces.

i really like the show but its just feels like it could be much more funny. the whole deal with the guys discovering something revolutionary and then blowing it an episode later is getting stale and formulaic.

Its a sitcom dude.
It's a show to make you laugh.
The story is secondary.

>Richard being the embodiment of the fedora meme
>Confirmation that Jared does indeed fuck
Great episode.

seems pretty realistic in those situations - it's always one thing after another

Wow, you guys really didn't get it, did you?

If Richard got what he wanted and the company came to fruition what would be the fun in that?

please tell us

Yes, we get it, a character that was hugely disliked by the audience was removed from the show. Pretty simple

Do you think they record the episodes the same week they air?

Do you think they record episodes from different seasons at the same time?

Vim is better though

Wrong. You invariably end up mixing tabs and spaces, especially when those function names get so huge with all those telescoping parameters that you then wrap onto the next line and end up adding spaces so they line up line a pleb. Had you just kept using spaces and changed your editor to replace tabs with spaces you'd be way better off

tell him that

I already did and he committed suicide

I love how the shows intro updates itself to keep with the times.

Anyone notice the Uber vs Lyft baloons going at it?

noticed the uber one when i watched the latest. Was it there before?

it's been a solid season so far, but i don't really like the erlich & big head's storyline. it's all going play in big head's favor sooner or later, but erlich blatantly taking advantage of him is just annoying to watch.

Agreed, Erlich is really annoying me and seems like the worst part of the show by far.

I'm an SDE by profession, all style guides at major companies tell you to use spaces over tabs. The whole "clicking space 4 times instead of tab once" was really stupid, just edit your vimrc to include tabexpand and tabwidth = 4 and it's a null point. I don't know how they fucked up so bad, Richard should have been autistic about spaces over tabs because simply nobody I know uses tabs. A code review containing tabs will be rejected.

Vim is indeed better. Once again Richard was autistic in the wrong direction on this one. The writers didn't do enough research and Richard comes off like an idiot.

This.

This season has been pretty mediocre, Big Head wasn't a total retard like he is now and its not even funny.

Shut up science bitch

This.

He is just too much of a retard now.

It's an honest portrayal of Silicon Valley-- and therefore women will be limited to managerial, girlfriendal and other nonsense roles.

GOAT character, written off in favor of the female autism-bot

different seasons are recorded at different times

she was disliked in season 2, so she was removed in season 3

bighead and erlich are both over the top and boring now

they were funnier when they felt like real oblivious people, instead of tv obnoxious people

all the characters are getting flanderized

>gilfoyle / dinesh: racist joke / complain about racist joke
>jared: some weird terrible anecdote from his past
>richard: clumsy, stuttering

not sure about the rest. the show is still good, but not as good as it was

theres no surprises anymore

the show's not funny when you can predict every conversation

Wasn't that kind of the point? the fact that he's socially awkward/inept doesn't translate on him being a full on aspie , he's really smart and as he stated he's really anal about a lot of things (hence the tabs and the vim). Besides that, the fact that the girl had a steady job at facebook it kind of implied, that there are many people more skilled than richard out there, but he can't be part of something bigger, so he has to make his own .
I don't know I might be wrong, but that's what I got from that exchange and his fall from the stairway trying to move 4 stairs at a time (while he was trying to make a point, and clearly failed)

tfw you dogface

Looks like a Pakistani Denzel Washington

I mean they still write stuff for Galvin Belson so it's doable, but I don't want them to get to that point either, at least not for a while

>his fall from the stairway trying to move 4 stairs at a time

8 stairs you complete ass-mucous

god damn i love gavin

>he actually wanted to kill those people

take your meds and go to sleep wife's son.

Really like Mike Judge.

However, this show is terrible. Really unfunny.

why?

What do you mean "written off", the actor died

kek enjoy flippin da burgs pops

and then enjoy sittin in da streets when i code you out of your job

I wish they'd just build that fucking platform already

Vim is better because it doesn't pretend to be a fucking userland

Because I enjoyed Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill and some of his other stuff.

What I don't get is why the lawsuit mattered when Richard rewrote the entire engine for middle-out.

take your wife's son's complete ass-mucous

But of course he can't. Not in this day of age.......

nah, there was an interview with one of the writers who talked about how every new writer for the show wants to turn sv into a dating sitcom which the show isnt about

if anything this episode was pushed through to put the idea of any major romance plots to bed

a % of non romantic females perportionate to the gender divide in the actual tech industry will continue to be in the show

He likely modified the code, he didn't start completely from scratch again on a blank slate. That infers he still worked on it at Hooli, even if that part was gone.

How was Russ was written off in favor of Laurie? What's a GOAT character?

>infers
>implying

Do you work at Amazon?

filler episode.

low point in an otherwise kickass season.

What exactly was Bachmanity supposed to do as a company besides waste money?

it's just erlichs way of funding his incubator only using bigheads money.

Skipped 90% of the latest episode because all the sketches seemed like shit

There really was no point, Erlich just found a way to manipulate someone and get easy money so he did it.

Honestly I feel like they ruined Erlich's entire character this season. Like I never liked his personality, but he at least wasn't a shit character. It really doesn't seem in him to blow $20 million that fast without even thinking about the consequences while still smuggling alcohol from home into the bar/restaurant presumably to save money.

i died and had to be in hospital

GOAT=Greatest of all time

They gave Russ's board seat to Laurie, giving her effective control of the company

More screentime for her and no screentime for him

same, i got the gist of each story thread, noticed that it wouldn't lead to A) story progression or B)funny shit.

just an episodic mash up of story lines that were used in old friends episodes.

I'm talking about Russ

they gave Russ's board seat to Laurie

Meaning that he'll have no screentime and she'll have way more screentime

he wasn't written off though. THe actor literally died. Hard to keep the character around when the actor that played him is buried 6 feet deep.

The actor who played Russ didn't die you fucking idiot

Peter Gregory died

Not Russ

wait Russ is DEAD?

That's true but he'll probably show up again eventually. It would have gotten boring watching him force Pied Piper to waste money on impractical swag into bankruptcy over and over again. Russ fucked up the company by being ridiculous, Laurie fucked up the company by having no creative vision. At least we got to see something different.

Russ will probably end up seeding a rival company down the road or something.

oh

im getting baited

damn

big head is magical, some thing will happen and big head will become the owner of Hooli and own everything, then become a king and then God.

i hope he ends up running hooli. praise bighead.

>the only thing a woman has to offer a man is sex
>when she cannot threaten to withold sex, she will attempt to threaten the availability of other women

you have no power here, vile creature

wat

>filler
Like a clip show?

you're deluding yourself if you think the show wouldn't happily troll demanding feminists and gamergate tier whiners alike.
that said, i am also relieved the romance subplots got fucking nixed immediately.

kinda a show that serves to fill out the season by doing nothing to progress the plot. Just little stories: "hurr hurr nerds geting laid" "omg Bachman spended the monies", pretty much relying on the jokes to carry the episode to the viewers satisfaction. personally i found it weak and skipped most of it.

Why are you watching a comedy for the plot?

yeah man, one of the main draws of silicon valley is the "drama" of Pied Piper getting up and going, the ups and downs...almost every episode is ended in a clifffhanger. It has a compelling story that is played out with great writing and improv. Shit boy, why you watch? to just see dick counting jokes?

For the lulz. I'm satisfied if it was funny. I'm easy.

>"hurr hurr nerds geting laid"
That wasn't really the joke, though. The jokes were Richard being too anal about his code to the point it messes up his chances with a great girl, Dinesh pretending he's not shallow in any way only to find out that the girl he's "falling for" is just as shallow as he is (with Dinesh thinking a girl is really into him only to find out she's not being a consistent joke), and Jared, the guy with the weirdest hobbies and personality and at some points comes off as being a little gay for Richard, ending up being a real ladies' man. In fact, as the non programmer/engineer of the group, Jared's actually the least traditionally nerdy of them and he's the only one who actually gets laid. I feel like all three of those were handled pretty well.
>"omg Bachman spended the monies"
Yeah this is legit, definitely the weakest plot of the season.

am i the only one who finds gilfoyle and dinesh's 'friendship' difficult to buy at this point? all gilfoyle has done lately is make racist jokes, call dinesh ugly and sell/break his hard drive.

its funny but you'd think it would amount to more than bickering

>being unironically this incorrect

All tabs in your text editor should be set to by default be 4 spaces. Any other way of coding is stupid.

What gave it away?

just use a real god damn IDE

Pakistanis are pussies, and Gilfoyle looks like he carries a knife in case he gets into a fight, or that he would fuck you up

>Mike Judge

Who is Mike Judge?

This so much.

that ending line was pretty fantastic, though

I agree about Gilfoyle/Dinesh. They haven't grown at all. Imagine if this show gets seven seasons, I can't see them doing anything other than bickering about who's the better coder. Also that one joke "I feel like I'm in minority report" "More like just a minority" was distractingly lame.

Richard on the other hand seems to be growing as a character, he's proving to be more of an egomaniac than previously indicated. Jared is also at least subverting expectations by actually being good with women. Erlich is a waste and needs to be removed from the show he makes me embarrassed to recommend it to people.

>Russ was right, this guy fucks.

Pleb-tier garbage for hbo babbies.

The lady there broke character a little bit when he said 'Unless...'

>this guy TABS

Gilfoyle was alot more based in the first two seasons, the character has definitely gone down hill. Never was a fan of Dinesh. Nanjiani is funny don't get me wrong but Starr's ability is wasted on the character now. Go watch Party Down, hes fucking amazing in that

its just banter you weak little girly-man

agree on all these points
the only character who has changed has been Richard as he becomes more like Gavin.
Maybe a bit of positive development for Laurie when she admits she made a mistake in how she handled the company.

all other characters have been whittled down to nothing. it sucks,
