I may have to re-watch the entire series, because I can't remember how these guys are still working out of an incubator. They invented an amazing compression technology worth billions of dollars. I can't even remember why that fell through.
Yup, same here. It was the most obvious joke, but so well done.
I won't be dropping it, but I didn't even see last week's episode until last night and honestly didn't feel like we missed much.
It's a shame a lot of the plot devices didn't get dragged out for longer. I mean, what is there now, going into the next episode? There's no cliffhangers I can think of.

The characters have squandered numerous opportunities to take the money and run. Don't worry about it that much. Just laugh at the jokes.
Veep is a better show because of this, by the way. The plot is just another font to draw from for humor.

It would have been funnier if the exact same joke hadn't been done in literally like 6 other high profile shows this year alone.

Still fun to watch but it feels like they're just dragging their feet with the writing of this show now
A huge change needs to happen to their situation and it has to actually stick for once. I think it's time this internet idea actually takes off and happens. And Richards dumb ass doesn't fuck up
Have these guys stumble in their success for once rather than hinder it

Yeah I mentioned this a few weeks ago. Makes me wonder if TJ Miller exiting the show caused them to do a quick re-write of most of the season.

Yeah I still enjoy this show but it feel like the wheel came off this season in terms of the plot and it feels like nothing is really happening. It seems like almost none of the cast has had any real defining character development this season.
I'm a bit different to the rest of this thread in that I wouldn't really mind the story going nowhere if the jokes were killing it, but I really feel like the only thing I've really laughed at this season was Jin-Yang explaining that an octopus is a water animal. The rest has fallen flat on its face.
I have to agree with the criticism, especially now that we don't see the inside of Hooli anymore.
There's so much that could be done from a comedic perspective for a successful start-up taking off, and I was hoping they were sowing the seeds for that back with Action Jack, but instead they just regress to being 4 dudes in a garage again. And no plot point seems to stick for more than an episode. Jian-Yang became millionaire over like one episode, and Ed Chambers is in and out again in 15 minutes.
It's really tiring.

The missus didn't get the joke at first and I had to mainsplain a joke about a man mansplaining about mansplaining.
Thankfully she thought that was hilarious.
Agree, the show is waning on me now.

At this point I'd rather them just get a big win, have it take off and have to deal with the stresses of that.
EDIT: Also, I could've sworn I had 49 subscriptions earlier including a sub to this OT, I just removed two locked OTs so I should've been at 47 but I was at 43 before I re-added this one. 🤔

You can't keep someone around who's going around spreading false lies about sleeping with a Supreme Court Justice. That's just bad juju. Chambers had to go.

Yeah, the show is still funny but it's a noticeable step down from earlier seasons. The plot has become pretty terrible as well. Hopefully they can course correct.

I don't get why the writers want to keep them in the "trying" zone. It would be way more funny and even closer to the bone to see them succeed and try and actually run a business with all of the pitiful that come with it at this point.
We've seen the stuff from this season years ago in S1.

I just want them to get out of the house and do stuff around the city. I feel like the show is 75% in Erlich's house and 25% at Raviga. Have Dinesh and Gilfoyle interact with other people for once.

Last one I remember with those 2 was the Coffee shop with the jackets. I didn't think it was so great. They also did some scenes this episode at the Oracle Arena which were meh. Hooli used to play a bigger role before Gavin left.
I liked it. Gilfoyle's deadpan is just good.

I'm guessing
Gilfoyle's fridge hack accidentally lets Dinesh's ex-girlfriend past the firewall to access their network and cause an incident for the security-obsessed insurance company

I thought it was refreshing to just have Gilfoyle do something outside of being in his corner.
When they introduced the fridge my first thought was she was going to use it as the means to get in. But when Gilfoyle started hacking at it and I realized it was probably going to be his fault it became so much better.
That episode where Gilfoyle & Dinesh go the coffee shop was a fun one for sure. A change of scenery would be nice as them being in the same place most of the time also makes it feel Iike not a lot is happening at the moment (And the main plot is kinda ehhhhhhh right now sooooooooooo).
I like Zach Woods. And I like Conan.

Richard's doctor stole this episode in my opinion. "A female what?" /died
You should watch Comedy's Centrals show, "Review."

New episode tonight:
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Wtf happened to Big Head? Did I miss him leaving?
isn't he a professor at stanford now.. i think thats were he is at..
I feel like it kind of rushes us headlong to the finale, although the pieces built up subtly.

Good episode with great moments. Erlich had a few lines that cracked me up. And Jared still the best character of this fucking show alongside "Goldfoy".

Echoing similar sentiments. Great episode and yes it does feel like the story is now thankfully back on track, setting us up for what should be an awesome finale.
10 my man. Next episodes are
on June 18 then
on June 25.
On another note, anyone get the feeling Melcher knows about Richard sleeping with Liz, hence the false increase in data and server costs?
