Silicon Valley on HBO

[Doggie Style]

I couldn't remember where I recognized that actress from and then it hit me. She's the "yada yada yada" woman from Seinfeld.

Wow, that's a Impressive. Never would of picked up on that one.

 

[The X Man]

Bump. looking forward to season 3 starting tonight

Loved Erlich's string of roast insults for the new CEO.

I watched the Marathon on HBO2 over the weekend. I forgot how hilarious season 1 was.

Episode 1 torched the tech and VC industries brilliantly. The mustache app company was hilarious, especially when the mustache jumps to his hand while he is on the call, yet it had just received funding.

I think the Jack Barker character is going to be great, and there are thousands of Jack Barkers out there that take over tech companies from thousands of Richards and have to manage founders. I don't dislike Tobolowsky, but he just isn't right for that role. John Slattery would have been perfect for the role, but probably costs 3x as much as Tobolowsky.

I am not sure what happens to Erlich this season, because in real life, when the first real CEO joins, the Erlichs of the world get tossed overboard.

John Slattery will actually be playing a role on Veep this season. That season started off strong too.

That was a total "WTF am I watching here" moment.

And, the meeting where everyone constantly introduces themselves before they comment? I've been in about a million meetings like that.

Gavin Belson paying $250 million for a company that was comprised mostly of people he had just fired was very funny.

And not realizing it.

Last night was awesome.

The callback to Russ Hanneman after Jared hooking up in this past week's episode was fantastic.

Jared had some amazing lines this week. From releasing too soon to Harriet Turman... Gold, Jerry, gold!

He has quietly become my favorite character.

for me it has to be Erlich.

This is one of the funniest scenes Ive ever seen.

I love the sidestory bits with him and Jian Yang. Hilarious.

Long read from the New Yorker - How "Silicon Valley" Nails Silicon Valley
(of course it's long, it's in the New Yorker)

TJ Miller's story about Elon Musk is pretty good.

 

[CTMike]

Watched tonight's episode... Now I want to watch the whole series.

How many posts are there in this thread mocking me for saying the show tries to be realistic?

 

[BUHusky]

Just caught up with the last 2 episodes. This show is so on point.

Definitely trending in the opposite direction of GoT.

Little disappointed in Laurie walking away. VC's typically ride out rougher seas than a few manufactured performance metrics.
