I think they treat Monica as a corporate shill or nanny.

Hooli.xyz is just as douchy a site as one would imagine.

Community is not a pause for laughter show. There are many critiques to be levied against it, but it doesn't mug.

MindGeek isn't in the Valley, it's in Montreal and Luxembourg for some reason. Which is somehow worse the the Valley.

The other Silicon Valley.

It's not that the deleting was inaccurate, it's that it felt like a cheat. The dumb guy wasn't dumber than one person, he was dumber than all the smart people were smart put together.

We saw the professor -immediately- figure out nucleus was a POS, but since we established he was smart (he had an MIT offer), it made sense.

Russ buying himself a car made sense, and using Pied Piper money for his other businesses made sense, but he doesn't seem like the kind of maroon who would ruin three companies bids with one move. It felt Homer Simpsony.

Two different groups of women talking to each other not about a man. So technically both conversations were about rich men. Still, that makes this Silicon Valley's least realistic episode.

There's no such thing as independence when your boss wants something you can give them. And up until now, Monica has been the deciding vote against the other guy. Erlich flipped last time.

I think TJ, kumail and Martin Starr all tried out for the part of Elrich which is super interesting if you think about it.

I would love to see Kumail's Ehrlich. And TJ Miller as Dinesh.

To be fair, in the universe of SV there are very few "Good" leaders.

I wouldn't mind an office if only because it could be a swing set. Season one, we got a sense of Hooli as a place that spends millions on employee gimmicks. The show can be anything, it doesn't have to be just the living room and garage area.

And Uber just lost a lawsuit over its employment/not really employment policy.
Binding arbitration just moved a potential liability into a kneecapping, and Gavin is to blame.

I knew pipe piper would win the arbitration went Gavin offer $10 million dollars for it. Perfectly structured hubris.

The Arbiter found the contract so bad he overruled the severibility,

And of course Laurie was a bad part, they had to rewrite it on the fly due to Pete Gregory's death. She did a good job with a stressful sitch.

They're held back because when they succeed they become billionaires and the show's Entourage.
