so what exactlydid the lack of a CEO seat mean at the end of the episode
Silicon Valley thread pls can we talk about it?
she will be assuming direct control
No leadership means things will start to fall apart.
But then they will make the platform and S4 will eadse everything that happened

The way the characters were all looking at the empty chair seemed to indicate that there's going to be an internal competition. This will obviously be ripe for humor.
>>69660134
6. Jin-yang
>>69660406
No, really. He's a fat, conniving slob who can't stand not being involved in other people's success because he once struck gold and has done nothing but flounder since. He approaches everything by acting like he's the coolest, smoothest motherfucker in the valley but he basically gets shut down at every opportunity. Like fuck, even his fleeting moments of triumph have to come at danesh's expense.
>>69660526
i keep thinking in the back of my mind he is going to steal something and sell the idea to china for billions
>>69660579
There is nothing wrong with his character as part of the whole cast.
>>69660579
Do you get this irrationally worked up over many fictional characters?
>>69660663
What a meaningless statement. Ehrlich is comedic relief. he's that nigga you're supposed to love to hate. If you earnestly like Ehrlich, you're a straight up faggot
>>69660579

either richard goes back into leadership mode and gets stressed out/fucks up again, or everyone starts competing for leadership roles, or generally everything just falls apart

>>69661174
What if Big head became CEO. He apparently has lucked into a bad ass resume for free and has money to spend
>>69661128
Jian-Yang definitely, also Bighead which I didn't mention.
I've watched every single episode since the premiere and I can not for the life of me remember what the Pajeet guys name is.

In a good way, though, since he's made to be ridiculous.
>>69661312
probably wouldn't be terrible as he exists currently, but I feel like he's being primed to turn into a prime antagonist through a random series of events
>>69661222
Richard is autistic head math guy with creative ideas. Without him there would be no company or idea or anything.

>>69661343

>>69661312
I don't know if he'll be CEO but Big Head will definitely continue to be accidentally successful for the rest of the show.

That moron should have been fired from the start.
Opinions on her?
How big of a role did the other pp guys have in "cracking middle-out"
>>69661522
Confused why a glorified secretary has any input on a multi-million dollar investment.
>>69661522
best qt on tv right now
legit in love with her
>>69661564
She bought shares and votes a seat of the vc on board of his company?
>>69659957
She's leaving the seat open to foster competition over it, the crew will be trying to out-do each other in order to be show that they're worthy of the position.
It's like the SCRUM that Jared introduced, except it's much more subtle.
>>69661222
Objectively not. Gilfoyle is an amazing programmer with moments of genius, but Richard is the real brains behind the company; first he invented lossless compression, then he refined his own idea and magnified its effectiveness.
I enjoy this show it is funny
>>69661522
I like her role as a grounded normal person
>>69661538
none. Go watch the last episode of first season, he got rid of everything and rewrote it. So much so that he couldn't explain it to them

>gilfoyle makes sarcastic remark

Both could easily happen.
I still can't figure out who Bag Head is meant to be lampooning though. Or is the tech world just full of these individuals who are completely useless but millionaires through dumb luck. He hasn't created a single thing. Well they did work hard on the potato cannon I guess
>>69661685
that scene seriously freaked me out
not sure why
>>69661757
There are big heads all over the business world, not just tech,
>>69661757
That's exactly it. He's just a "right place at the right time" guy.
Why did they get rid of Russ Hanneman and keep the horrible Peter Gregory ripoff with a vagina?
>>69661757
To quote bag head himself
>Larry (page) doesn't do shit
>>69661764
Because it's a 1000lb animal that can't stop once it gets started. That huge 3 ft cock could go from your anus to heart and there's nothing you could do to stop it. It would just pound away, using your lifeless body as a fucktoy until it finished and went about eating hay and shit.
>>69661810
>horrible Peter Gregory ripoff with a vagina?
She's one of the best characters, and Russ was just annoying.
>>69661810
Because Peter's actor died. They still wanted Peter and his character, but they couldn't have the actor. So they just replaced the actor and made her a """"""new"""""" character.
>>69661870
>She's one of the best characters,
What a horrible opinion and you should kill yourself.
>>69661810
they got rid of him?
when did this happen?
>>69661870
yeah as a knockoff she doesn't have the chops, false imitation doesn't look like flattery just a constant reminder.
>>69661965
well he hasn't been in all season and in the s2 finale he sold them back to female Peter Gregory
>>69661936
she has like 2 lines this season. your hatred is irrational and retarded.
>following the plot of a comedy
wew lad
>>69662030
She's been in every single episode so far and just serves as a reminder of a superior talent. They should have kept Russ around is all I'm saying.
>>69662036
dumb
>>69662036
no one's following the plot.
>>69659957
They lingered on it to remind you that Jack is gone. He said "If you're going to shoot the king, be sure he's dead." Jack will be back as an antagonist.
>>69660134
Gilfoyle kinda dropped off lately
His peak as a character was season 2
Am I the only one who watches this show primarily for the banter?

i think my favourite Gilfoyle moment was when he made Richard puke by aggravating his motion sickness, then calling him a "fucking liar"

First episode of this season showed that Richard is on a whole different level than Gilfoyle and Dinesh and both admitted it.
Don't get me wrong, this is easily one of my favorite shows but this character is pretty shit
>>69667203
She'd be fine if she weren't just a lazy done female version of Peter Gregory.
Such a shame that the actor died, it would have been fantastic to see more stuff between him and Gavin
>>69667203
the way she overacts her peter gregory impression is cringeworthy to the point where i almost skip her scenes.
I really hate episodes like this week that are entirely "plot", meaning they resolve one issue immediately, move on to another, resolve it, then have a cliffhanger for another, whch will undoubtedly be resolved next week first thing. It's so boring to watch even if the mechanics of the startup are interesting.
I really think this show would benefit from 10 minutes more or less screentime, either go full on with the plot and big cast or cut out B-plots about Ehrlich and Bighead and move on
>>69667203
she'd be perfect if she let us see those beautiful tits a little more
>>69661810
the problem with peter gregory's replacement was that he had character development and his voice always sounded like he was in deep thought
the replacement just sounds like a robot i don't know if she's even acting, no emotion whatsoever its bad
>>69665879
It's a hidden gem. I never would've heard of it if not for /tv/.
If you haven't seen Office Space, I strongly recommend it btw. Same creator (Mike Judge) and similar kind of style and humour as Silicon Valley, except it's the 90s. Jennifer Aniston is at her cutest in this as well.

I got so excited and then so let down in the course of a minute
>>69668045
The "Aw shucks" act is fantastic. It will be a giant twist when revealed BigHead was a deep-cover NSA plant tasked with monitoring Richard
>"BigHead" is an anagram for "Hi Badge"
>>69661522
It should be obligatory that every time she appears on screen she should be nude and she should start playing with her tits every time she says any line.
>>69668139
It's a big fuck you to SJWs, the show is based.
Gavin's company would have gone under by now, they don't make anything new and keep hemorrhaging money.
>>69668508
Hooli is essentially a google stand-in (even though apparently google exists in SV)
They are too big to fall.
can we talk about how brilliant it was to have the Nucleus engineers join EndFrame only to be reacquired by Hooli with Gavin none the wiser?
>>69668558
More like Yahoo or AOL. Coasting on past successes, unable to recapture the old spark, throwing everything they can at the wall but nothing sticks.
AOL stuck around for a surprisingly long time. Yahoo is only getting sold now.
>>69660134
It's a Gilfoyle solves all the problems with a brilliant idea/scheme episode
>>69662638
Ahaha that was so funny. I'm also a satanist so I got off super hard to his "welcome to the left hand path" shit too.
And when he cucked Dinesh. And then Ehrlich cucked Dinesh...
>>69668479
You mean when our guys get cucked out of our money for no good raisin?
BIGHEAD BECOMES PIED PIPER'S CEO PREDICTIONS
>Bighead does fucking nothing and rises in the ranks
>The last episode all of the following happened:
>Erlich decides to "partner" with Bighead
>Everyone makes fun of Bighead, "more useless than a bag of dicks with no handle"
>Bighead has $20,000,000, Erlich only $36,000
>Erlich complains of not being CC'd on meeting email, getting pushed out
>Pied Piper loses CEO
>Preview for next episode involved Bighead "sharing assets", meaning as partners Erlich likely does the same thing (including board seat)
>Erlich will sell his shares, or have them bought out, giving Bighead the board seat outright, Lauri sees the numbers of Bighead making shitloads of cash in a year
>Elects him to be CEO

go fuck yourself.
>>69661522
She looked gross in the most recent episode. I was physically repulsed whenever she appeared on screen.
>>69661870
she has her moments...her character represents the leveled headed, intelligent and successful business people who never let emotion color their focus.
You said Russ was annoying...
GO Fuck yourself, beta.
>>69661312
I doubt it, Laurie doesn't know who he is. I have a hard time believing she'd make him CEO before Monica at the very least
>>69661538
If it weren't for the jacking off discussion Richard wouldn't have figured it out. So like 50% :^)

how do you get so fucking stupid?
I like how their website updates every episode.
It's weird how HBO's three big shows right now are all kind of the same thing. I'm talking this, Game of Thrones, and Veep. They all follow the same structure/pattern of shit going terrible most of the time but little things here and there going well. Enough goes well that we don't drop off but more things go poorly.
What happened with Gavin and a bulldog in his past to make him hate them so much?
>>69677123
Not really
Besides, there are only so many different plots, and if you watch something for the plot then you are the most philistine of plebs
>>69677226
what happened is that bulldogs are fuck ugly and should be exterminated
>>69676535
>pied piper wants to hire her based on her skills
>as expected from a woman, she threatens to ruin everything by blackmailing them
Wow..........
>tfw watching SV just reminds you that you won't get a job there
>>69677246
I'm not saying I hate them (though I've only actually laughed twice in Silicons Valley entire run) but that I'm starting to care less (with GoT especially) since they're formulaic.
>>69677357
They've all been going for several seasons so each show naturally finds a formula that works/people like, and this is what might be happening to Silicon Valley, but I think they do a good job at picking themselves up currently, like when their skunkworks project was discovered and I thought we were back to scratch, but the new episode switched things around a little.
As for GoT, it's shit because it's based on shitty children's books, is directed by two shits, stars mostly shit, and has been running for longer.

its not like the book are masterpieces but the shows writing makes them look like high art
>>69661810
Laurie is a 10/10 and she is nothing like Peter (who was also 10/10)
Peter would have been vision-first, and went for the platform from the start, while Laurie is shrewd and calculative in her own unique way
>>69660134
>jew 1st
What did you guys thin about Betas?
It predates Silicon Valley, and was really original, and I really thought it was a great show, with a lot of potential, and the only reason it got canned was shitty advertising by Amazon
>>69685128
Isn't this basically Silicon Valley?
>>69685183
It was really similar, and it actually came before Silicon Valley, but I wouldn't say Silicon Valley copied them or anything, since the story in SV is a lot bigger
>>69685128
Is that the guy from Deadpool?
I think the next CEO will be bighead and the gang will try to fight it because they know he's a retard but Laurie won't.
I don't know why I'm so impressed. But for some reason it really surprised me that Richard Hendricks is nothing at all like his character and is much more charismatic/charming in real life.
>>69686191
I actually get the feeling that he is in fact beta as fuck IRL but he's created this alpha persona
>>69686191
>But for some reason it really surprised me that Richard Hendricks is nothing at all like his character and is much more charismatic/charming in real life.

>>69669435
The only fault in your theory would be Erlich selling/giving away his shares. Because there is just no way I could see that happening.
RAVIGA is an anagram of VIAGRA
>>69667438
She's an under the radar milf. Probably the hottest girl om the showm
>>69661708
Gregory invested more than Erlich as well, and yet he still has a seat on the board.
But the more relevant point is that Raviga holds two seats, and Monica is currently filling one. She is a Raviga partner (albeit one of lesser standing), familiar with Pied Piper, and a personal investor, so she's well-suited for the role, in that regard. That said, Laurie can easily unseat her if Monica becomes enough of a nuisance.
>>69662381
That's okay with me.
Most people with a beard that thick have premature baldness and need to shave by the time they hit their 30s. Unless they struck the genetic goldmine, of course.
>>69686737
And he still looks like a serial killer even outside the show
Why won't they give her more than a couple of minutes of screen time per season?
>>69676452
Acting out timelapse scenes like this must be tedious as fuck
>>69687028
Because she was hired in season 2 and quit Pied Piper in season 2.
