HBO's original: Silicon Valley... Liking it so far! 'Nerdy entourage'

[JM Aggie08]

I thought this last week's episode was fantastic -- it had me laughing more than most of the season so far.

The way the CTO sheepishly says, "OOOooh, shut the fuck up" had me rewind several times. The slapping and Richards lackluster sexual performance were A+ as well.

Why the hell are cuss words being censored on the forum?

I agree, the last few were just meh. The whole thing with Richard talking about the tech and the chick thinking about her fiancee was awesome. Then hes talking about how bad it was to do what they did and she just thought the sex was bad was comedy gold. Bring in some Russ and boom great episode.

maybe your Profanity contents was tuned off?

Profanity Contents:

• Enable Profanity Contents

Since we probably have profanity contents in your board, they would be filtered by default. By enable this option, you would be able to see them.

In my opinion, he added to the whole dynamic of the show. I think it's going to be very difficult to fill his void.

His interactions with Jin Yang are going to be missed

Yeah...I'll definitely miss him.

Eerik bakmain, it'sa you, as ol mayne.

I am alone.

And ded.

Everytime I see "I see dead people" guy on screen I am disgusted. I'm trying to eat here. Am I the only one?

Dude is looking real rough. Eerik Bakmain described him best.

That last episode was a roller coaster of emotions.

Jesus christ...that is the same guy? Wow...talk about letting yourself go.

The part about what happens when it gets cold in Cali was the best part for me.

Yeah, those northern cal sissies start wearing Winter parkas when it gets down to 60 degrees there. I found that super amusing when I lived there.

[Carson Dyle]

That was hilarious. Classic Jian Yang.

While I still like this show, it's starting to get way more far fetched than it initially was. It was somewhat accurate early on now it's just a complete hack job for the most part as far as technology goes. I still like it but it's just so far fetched now.

 

[Carson Dyle]

The technology was always far-fetched if you knew even a little computer science or the math behind it. Some good lingo made it sound semi-plausible.

I am a computer science major and been developing software for over 12 years. Maybe I worded it wrong as far as technology being accurate. I meant more along the lines of the whole development process and how developers act and what not more so than the actual technology. But now we have them hacking stuff and rewriting VR systems in a weekend. It's just pushing the boundary a lot more now and it's gotten kinda dumb to me.

Welcome to every TV show about a profession. Do you think lawyers or policeman or Doctors or whomever watch a TV show about their profession and not think the same thing? The funniness of the show is the techie caricatures they portray and make fun of than the actual tech content IMHO.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Oh, wow. I'm sitting here at 4AM having 90s flashbacks and just realized that Ned Ryerson is Jack Barker.

I still like when they click a single button to instantly enhance grainy security cam footage. Because there's no techies who watch tv shows...

If we really want to get picky, I don't see why adding a compression algorithm would do anything to VR to reduce motion sickness. I could see it if they were doing wireless VR, but I recall the demo having wires?

"Zoom... enhance..."

 

[JM Aggie08]

The whole sequence of Richard changing the desktop, the pineapples being found, and the security director letting them go pissed me off to no end.

They reeeeeeeeeeeeeally pushed it with that scene, IMO.

wait, who???

nevermind i found it.

 

[PricklyPete]

wait, who???

The Keenan guy is the little kid "who sees dead people" in the Sixth Sense.
