Can you even read 132 GB from external storage in the time they showed it compressing?

Would you have preferred they extend the episode to a full hour so we could watch the file transfer for 29 minutes?

This show is awesome, mike judge is awesome. It would suck if we really had to wait a god drat year for the next season. Hopefully they do some fun webisodes and stuff.

It would have been pretty great for Richard to look surprised and be like "oh, I guess also it compresses poo poo hella fast, too."

I'd like to see a web series shot from forklift telemetry cameras documenting Jared's time on the Island.

On an MBA over the USB 2.0 bus, from an external magnetic hard drive, I'm sure you can't.

They could have done what actually would have happened in that situation: compress a 3MB file. Not that it matters. The slight surrealism only adds to the show.

Wow this whole season was amazing, I was almost in tears at how funny it was also his PIVOT!! It totally worked.

I love everyone on this show now, even Richard. I don't care.

Also, it's totally believable that she'd be interested in Richard, he acts just like her boss almost. Intelligence is a attractive thing.

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.

Did you watch the part where he totally owned that presentation? I'd do Richard after that poo poo.

"A playground for the sexually monstrous" and Ehrlich quietly putting the door back on were the best parts for me. The charm of this show really is in all the little things.

The whole door smashing scene was almost sweet. They break down the door thinking Richard killed himself, then then Erlich just gingerly replaces the door as the whole team leaves Richard be.

Erlich actually being like a Mother Hen to his little children is such a good way to go with his character as it could have been so easy to just have him be a dick to everyone for laughs.

This is the truth. As elaborate and eloquent a dick joke that was in the finale, the poo poo/piss fight quote is the best written line on the show (so far).

That scene is so loving great. I was like really apprehensive about this and thought it'd be dumb, but seriously this has been amazing.

I don't understand why it was only 8 episodes though. Woah not going to spell this not a scene from the movie but TJ Miller telling the story of how he almost died and should have. Holy crap can't believe he survived this.

On a more serious note here's a really good lecture on the history of Silicon Valley:

Was basically a big nexus for government research, mainly military defense spending before going into all the various tech boom bust cycles such as the dot com bubble.

What makes his character work is that he's a only a bit of a mess but he's still fairly competent.

He's really chill in all the interviews, I loved all his great one liners from the techcrunch interview.
