Do you think anything will come of Jack and Gavin's vacation? They've both been burned by Pied Piper, a first in their respective careers. The joke about them going to the same place but not going together was great, but it's a possible setup for them to join forces.

I think they made that pretty clear. What form that alliance will take is what the real question is.

Russ is just the best.

How does he throw the apple with his elbow to his other elbow :O he really is best

I hope somebody got fired for that blunder

Russ could get you killed

Yup I can easily seeing one of them if not both joining the board of Pied Piper and fucking everything up.

 

[reggieandTFE]

i don't really like the current gilfoyle/dinesh dynamic. gilfoyle is too mean (even after he's already succeeded in making dinesh sad), and dinesh is just so pathetic that it's hard to watch sometimes.

I came in here to post this. You can't just beat the guy up in every episode.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

This season has been great

Jared: "Well, people do create imaginary friends to meet their emotional needs. When I was little, I used to pretend that I shared a room with Harriet Tubman and we were always planning our big escape."

Who writes this stuff, amazing.

So good. LOL

- Variety: T.J. Miller on ‘Silicon Valley’ Season 3, Erlich’s Dark Journey and ‘Bachmanity Insanity’

T.J. MILLER: “I think Thomas Middleditch is fine with me comparing our work styles to one another — we have a strange approach where we don’t read the scripts until the table read. The first time I read the script is out loud at the cold read. There’s a very specific reason I do that, I’m guaranteed to laugh harder. That’s better for us with the executives, and the writers can get a good sense of what’s working. Usually, Thomas and I will not read the script again maybe until the day of [shooting].

“On ‘Silicon Valley’ the scripts are really solid, but each of us improvises — Martin [Starr], Kumail [Nanjiani], everybody — they’re so talented, it’s ‘an embarrassment of riches’ as [co-showrunner] Alec Berg said one time. It’s true. Because they let us riff, each of the characters have become very much our own creation. No one can come up with riffs about Jared the way Zach Woods can, because he is strangely in his head. He loves the darkness of his backstory and all that stuff.

“Propers to all the writers for putting us in situations where we can do what some of us do best, which is riffing.

 

[Zyae]

This season is maybe the most all around solid season ive seen of a comedy show in a long time.

 

[blAAAm!!!]

I dont know if i get more excited for this of GoT.

Silicon Valley never disappoints me or really never has an off episode. Im not sure how many more seasons they can keep this up for.

- The Wrap: ‘Silicon Valley’ Star Zach Woods on What Tech Moguls Tell Him About the Show (Video)

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Imo, while this season has been great as always, season one is still by far the best season of this show.

Agreed, the whole back half with Tech Crunch is really top notch.

- Warming Glow writer did a podcast with Jimmy O. Yang (Jian Yang)

On the latest episode of my podcast, Brunch, Yang joined to talk about his role on the show. (Interview starts at 32:45.)

Some topics we hit on:

- How much of the character is based on himself when he first came to America
- The amazing prank calls to Erlich
- Which actor on set is the best at improv? Who breaks most often?
- Why he turned down another series before becoming a regular on Silicon Valley
- The use and perception of Asian actors & accents in Hollywood
- His role in Peter Berg’s upcoming Boston Marathon bombing film Patriots’ Day
- Whether or not Jian Yang and Erlich could save True Detective

I've got the same feeling. Sometimes I look forward to it more than GoT.

 

[demon]

I honestly look forward to Silicon Valley a lot more than GoT at this point. I mean I like GoT and feel 'invested' in it, but I'm kinda burned out on it whereas I feel SC is really hitting its stride. Plus I think SC is simply a better show at the moment.

Same.

Penultimate episode tonight:

Daily Active Users

Spoiler

Richard attempts to bridge the gap between Pied Piper and its users; Jared takes drastic measures; Gavin learns secrets about the competition.

 

[Bluth54]

I've got the same feeling. Sometimes I look forward to it more than GoT.

I was more excited for Valley then Throne the past 2 years just because I had read the Song of Fire and Ice books and knew what was going to happen, now I pretty much anticipate them equally since I donlt know what's going to happen on Thrones. Both are really great shows.

I like how it's exactly the kind of super pretentious up-its-own-ass commercial they said they hated at the very beginning of the show.

[fallengorn]

I came in here to post this. You can't just beat the guy up in every episode.

I'm with you guys. Jared used to be the punching bag, but it worked because he's so good natured that he just rolls with it.

But with Dinesh, it's like he's going to be put on suicide watch soon.

 

[exmachina64]

I was commenting to my wife the other day that so much of this season could have been cut out if Gavin had been fired at the beginning of season 3 and hired by Laurie to be the CEO of Pied Piper.

 

[kris.]

woah GY!BE. awesome.

also i rewatched American Psycho this weekend and lo and behold Matt Ross was in it. took me a solid hour to realize why he looked so familiar.

 

[thestopsign]

I was so hype for the God Speed there.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That's why you can't put a UI that only nerds like.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I terrify your Judeo Christian mentality

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

LOL it's everywhere....and nowhere.

 

[BlueTsunami]

What's in your eggs? Electrons! I fucking DIED

 

[Xevren]

I was so waiting for someone to say Skynet.

 

[kris.]

i fuckin knew it

 

[NateDrake]

That's a lie.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol what an ending. Goddamn Jared buying some time. Also that's a super Alec Berg directed ending there. Kind of dark and the lack of music.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Hahaha, saw that coming. Dammit, guys. This episode has been so full of good news for them, too.

Still, I guess no shout of for the ending music this week, huh?

 

[firehawk12]

So what is the cliffhanger? Selling the company to Hooli? lol

 

[Lautaro]

Richard pisses me off so much, all of this could be avoided with a real beta. When fucking Pipey says that you are 6 clicks away of something it should be obvious that they need to change that to a single click.

Make a Pied Piper Lite with only the default options and a fake download button ffs.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

That rip on the "Facebook is chairs" ad was fucking priceless.

 

[Timan]

The credits, was hilarious. This show sits too damn close to home at times.

 

[TheAbsolution]

The longer the credits rolled on, the harder I laughed. Amazing.

- Promo for the season finale (please spoiler tag any discussion)
- Onion A|V Club review

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That marketing company was real? Props to them lol.

 

[Epcott]

Lol oh Jared

 

[Zapages]

Wow on Jared!!!

 

[demon]

Wow I've never seen that Facebook Chairs ad before. Is it legit? It almost makes less sense than the Tables ad!

 

[Grinchy]

I just don't understand why they can't make a UI that has standard options. Click on video to upload video, music for music, ect. If someone wants advanced options, they can click on...you guessed it...a button for advanced options.

People don't need to understand the overall picture, they just need to be able to easily use the software.

 

[jett]

lol fuck you richard

Apparently at some point I started hating this douche.

Seriously, their problem is so easily fixed.

Should have just taken the 10 million
