Maaaan, shit just gets grimmer and grimmer for Pied Piper.
It's great until you right click and see it's a GIF.

I really thought the girlfriend bit would result in PP convincing Monica to pretend to be Richard's girlfriend, resulting in her actually confessing her feelings for Richard. That would've been a better episode than the PP-is-screwed-yet-again scenario we got.
p.s. I believe the bar where the Hooli brogrammers lost their phone is right near Moscone Center (where Apple's dev conference is). Not sure if that was an intentional ironic location choice or not.
p.p.s. Gilfoyle is still drinking Old Rasputin "Never Say Die" Russian Imperial Stout this episode. I guess that's become his beer of choice.

Expected that too.

Great episode.
Wouldnt the fact that Richard remade the platform from scratch back at the end of season 1 void the whole case?
Was thinking the same. Hell, when Erlich brought up lying I really thought he would suggest Monica getting involved.

Great episode.
Pretty good episode, I too expected some silly storyline of Monica/Carla pretending to be Richard's GF. I'm guessing we won't have CES until next season then, glad it worked out that way, can dedicate more episodes to it. Also, that lawyer was so good, the characters on this show are amazing.

Damn. Really loved this episode. Thought it was pretty intense. Also, Jared's screaming at the end of that episode while he was watching the guy fall was hysterical. Can't wait to see how this plays out next week!

Eh I'm not a huge fan or anything, but I wouldn't say it's been bad. Feels the same as its always been to me.
7 had 10/10 boobs.
8 had the best battle scene in the series.
The rest of the episodes have been pretty mediocre but I wouldn't say 'bad'.
Last night's episode of SV was a lot better than the previous.

"it was a buggy, rapey piece of shit created by a moron" had me laughing so hard i had to pause it just to regain my composure and finish the episode

That was a great episode, despite it once again had Pied Piper going down. Loved the lawyer character. At his introduction I feared it would be another weirdo but luckily he turned out to be a good lawyer making some good court scenes. Curious to see where they are heading with story though. Pied Piper must survive in some way.
Loved it, only the part about Schroedinger annoyed me, who in this day and age (and especially someone as intelligent as Jared) hasn't heard of it? I realise they needed that to make the joke work, but it still felt forced to me.
Otherwise, great episode, great show, etc etc etc. I could watch Erlich and Lloyd Braun insult eachother for five straight seasons and I'd still be happy. Curious to see how they're going to wrap this up.

One would think and I'd hope that'd be the case and leave Hooli back where they started since they already got a hold of the original.
AKA Steve Guttenberg's Police Academy replacement.
Might be tied into with Jared's speaking/shouting German in his sleep and seemingly not aware of it.

Maybe Jared is blocking out any consciousness of Austrians (Schroedinger, Hitler,, speaking German) because he was brain washed or something. At this point, the less I know about his background the funnier it is.
He's a box himself.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Real OGs know!
That's it! I couldn't put my finger on where I remembered him from, despite being a Seinfeld fan. I was wondering why I was thinking of police academy, I thought perhaps the actor was Lloyd bridge's son or something.
Innovative thinking at its finest!
That's really sharp! My problem is that Gilfoyle and Dinesh's summation of Schhroeding's cat was pretty inaccurate. The whole point was it's based on quantum mechanics. So a cat is in a box and poison will be released when a atom decays, but when an atom decays is unpredictable. So you can't know if the cat is dead or not unless you look inside the box.
After really enjoying the first season, I have to admit that the second started out a bit slow to me. (admittedly, it was at least in part due to the absence of Peter Gregory). The season has seemingly been ever improving, however, and this latest episode may be my favorite of the entire series. When it wasn't hilarious it was intense -- or both!
I'm going to have to rewatch the series after this season wraps. I have a feeling that I'll appreciate the first few episodes of S2 more than I did the first go round.

Eh, they are pretty close. It's about observation collapsing a superposition, it's not just that you can't know but rather that both states exist until the box is opened, the cat isn't alive or dead, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead until it is observed.

I really hope this doesn't end as a downer for the finale of S2. I hate it when they do that, I need a satisfying ending.

This just happened to me, too, lol! Also, Dinesh mentions a Faraday cage; I didn't know those things had a name, I've never heard it before.
Great ending song (though my fave is still the one by Dizzee Rascal)

Its annoying seeing them fail and get screwed over all the time.

Yep. Easily the best and funniest one since the season premiere.

But I guess if they succeed and become millionaires, the show gets a lot less interesting.
Pretty much. I'm not really sure what people want.

I hope if they lose the arbitration that they don't decide to quasi reverse engineer their own algorithm by saying its "outside in" or "outside to middle".
