The Pied Piper site is yet again updated (site-wide announcement by Jack, several blog posts by Jared). I love HBO's commitment to the supplemental stuff.

They're using Jian Yang just right this season, I love it. Erilch screaming at him about the pizza and the ensuing slap fight got one of the biggest laughs of the episode from me.

Konstantin posted:Plus, Richard specifically asked for her on the board as a condition of accepting their funding deal. Yeah having it be Monica was something Laurie agreed to because it shouldn't have been important: when Russ was in the picture, she would have been the swing vote between Russ+1 & Richard/Erlich (and would presumably not make bad decisions), and after they bought Russ out, she was supposed to vote lock-step with the other two Raviga seats so it shouldn't have mattered who was really there.

Troy Queef posted:Has Erlich always been at the bottom of the Pied Piper roster because he's a "board member" only? Because if that's new it's hilarious. Even better, when the site first went up he was the same size as the rest of the main cast, then it got smaller once Jack showed up, and smaller still once they added the sales team.

I didn't see it as that far out of character for Laurie. Despite Jack acting like a shithead, she's a pragmatist and is managing partner of a VC company. Sometimes you have to eat some poo poo. Like she even said, they were going to have a meeting the next day to get the Box in place until Gavin shot himself in the foot yet again.

Avasculous posted:Oh no, I think you're right and that part was totally fine for her. I can see that, I still don't think it was out of character, really though. Jack's IPO'd a few billion dollar companies so I wouldn't call him a 'used car salesman' and he stated in this episode that offering the algorithm allowed him to get a deal 3x more lucrative than the initial deal they had. Compared to the algorithm itself having 0 value, it's an extremely easy decision for Laurie to make and the deal was probably great on paper until Gavin pulled another classic Gavin.

M_Gargantua posted:I've lost track of how the board of pied piper works at this point. I know Monica is in one of the Raviga seats, but she's on the board by name. How can Laurie just replace her directly on the board? Richard, Erlich, and Monica make three votes to not replace Monica as a board member. Laurie could still exit Monica from Raviga but she's still legally have the seat right? All 3 of Raviga's seats are given to the company and up to the managing partner to assign. Since Monica's been involved with them since day 1 and Richard specifically requested it, she's had a spot, but Laurie ultimately has final say as far as who actually speaks for Raviga.

TwoStepBoog posted:Out of curiosity, is it possible for more seats to be made on a board? If only to get Russ back. It is, but it'd be very unnecessary until the company goes public or they take on another round of funding as right now the only investor is Raviga. I'd love to see Russ make a cameo somehow too, though. emanresu tnuocca posted:Bighead probably can't join pied piper without forfeiting his contract with Hooli. Since they bought him out I think he'd be in the clear, really all he had was an NDA stating he couldn't talk about anything he did or disparage Hooli, so as long as Pied Piper doesn't build a potato cannon they're set.

VagueRant posted:On the other hand, Big Head was gold this week. "Why didn't you have your assistant do it?" "Well, she was on the phone, so..." And I like every snippet of Jared's tragic backstory and general weirdness. Stuff like that is the show's real strength. I agree with this 100%. Everything re: the cult of Gavin and Hooli, Big Head, & Jian Yang is basically guaranteed to be gold, even if the main plot is lackluster.

ApathyGifted posted:The breaking point I was talking about was not a stress thing, it was a "had enough of this poo poo" thing. Richard is non-confrontational as all hell so he stutters and midspeaks constantly from second guessing if he's being too forceful or making things worse when he's in a conflict. Then someone steps on him enough that he's pushed past the "gently caress this clown" point and lets loose. Half the young engineers I know, including the early-20's me, are like this. He's not actually nervous during the non-confrontational phase, if you pay close attention you can see he's actually constantly pulling himself back from just going on a rant. The only times he's really been nervous were basically during season 1, up until the climactic presentation. This is pretty accurate. I've hit a breaking point in several conversations both with family and at work which resulted in me being more articulate with my frustration but also less polite/holding back with my anger. It's pretty common from what I've seen, everyone has their tipping point.

It sounded like his compensation package is going to be made up of mostly equity anyway, so he might come out of the whole thing with a pretty good chunk of shares + a salary anyway. Not that it isn't lovely what happened, though.

Yeah that's not unusual at all. I worked for a startup that was back by basically a German VC; my company acquired another company (part of what we were founded to do), and less than 10 months after my company started, the VC decided they weren't thrilled with the ROI and shut down both companies. It's really lovely but when you have that much money, a couple million is a drop in the bucket.
