"Adderall...are these yours?" "No, those belong to an underage kid that I keep in my house." And now they're debating how to jerk off 800 dudes in 10 minutes. Wow. Kleptobot fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Jun 2, 2014 |

A goony derail about how to jack off 800 guys in ten minutes led to a rousing climax and a happy ending.

The dudes debating the best way to jerk off the auditorium leading the Richard's breakthrough was probably one my my favorite scenes of the season. Loved this episode, love this show. I can't wait to see where it goes next season.

I just like how the entire beginning was what I predicted last week - Ehrlich's idiocy causes the Disrupt people to poo poo themselves in fear over the prospect of a lawsuit, and gets the judge disqualified. He's probably going to run Ehrlich over with his car next season, though.

Despite some sour apples over getting parodied the show is a hit in silicon valley too: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/06/01/hbo-show-silicon-valley-watched-avidly-in-silicon-valley/ quote:Not at all. About 1.7 million viewers tune in each week, according to Nielsen ratings, many from the innovative and wealthy center of tech.

That entire scene between Erlich, Dinesh and Gilfoyle had me in tears. When Jared got involved I just lost it. That finale ruled.

I noted that the HBO parental-warning shot before the show indicated "Brief Nudity." I assume that the dry-erase drawings of penis equations was the nudity?

Jared's attempts to focus group his "pivot" ideas were the second best thing (the best thing, of course, being the dick discussion). Would you say you're somewhat interested, very interested, or very interested? Which one? Which one? Which one?

So in the screenshots below... are the woman in sunglasses interviewing Gavin, the dude on the cell phone calling in to report Pied Piper's success, and the old guy wanting to invest, are they all people doing cameos? The acting or look of each of them seemed out of place enough to ping my radar, but I don't know tech well enough to say.

Lady in the sunglasses either is or is imitating Kara Swisher, who does the re/code, formerly AllThingsD, stuff, occasionally while wearing sunglasses indoors.

The one thing I disliked was Monica asking Richard out, which just seemed unbelievable. I mean, he's just been a mess every time they've interacted, and she's supposedly a powerful businesswoman working for one of the top tech firms. I just don't see the connection between them, and I can't think of anything Richard's done that might be the least bit attractive or endearing to her. Then again, her character doesn't make a lot of sense anyway. She says she invested her own money in them because she thought he had a great business...but he certainly didn't, especially at the time. All he had was an algorithm, and she had just invested in several other guys with compression algorithms. And she is somehow won over by the stammering passivity of the fourth one? I dunno, I enjoyed this season, but that entire character feels off to me, and it seems like they were scrambling to put an attractive female in there somewhere after the main plot and cast was in place.

I agree that the whole Monica/Richard thing is really bad. Hopefully they realize this for the second season and steer away from an actual, totally unbelievable and stupid relationship.

I know they debuted Halt and Catch Fire last night specifically to tap Silicon Valley viewers' curiosity, but the Dick Joke Whiteboard proved that there are just some places AMC cannot go. I doubt it'll last the season.

This episode really reinforced the "Richard is boring, but important for the plot, Ehrlich is the true star" narrative this thread has come up with. Hell, they kind of made it a point - the crew, Ehrlich in center, is busy doing stuff you actually watch the series for in one room, while Richard is busy bringing the plot forwards in his own encapsulated world. It's really meta. Also this show violates my sense of disbelief something fierce. Dragons, zombies, Ehrlich getting away with a weed garden or instantaneous return from robot island I can deal with, but a 5-fold compression of naturalistic video? I'm sure the Shannon-Kolmogorov Theorem rules out Weizbaum scores over ~3.3.

It's not my favorite storyline but given her job, I don't know that it's entirely odd that she would be endeared to someone who is neither an arrogant jackass nor a completely hopeless goon. He's just an awkward dude who is honest and nice and not entirely absorbed by the economic implications of his every movement. They've made him a bit too bumbly for me to believe this, but I'd imagine her attraction to him is less about who he is and more about how he differs from the people of similar positions that she deals with on a daily basis.
