Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" (HBO Show)

I thought that was weird too, since it's totally illegal in CA to smoke in an office and I literally never see anyone do it anywhere ever

but what do I know

chinese people like to smoke

neither Monica nor Gilfoyle is Chinese afaik

I am going to say it was for comedy purposes

Gilfoyle breaking the rules overnight and smoking is in character

most of the other smoking was in china and, yeah

monica's smoking is a long-running thread/joke in the series

thinking they upped the smoking this season b/c it's funny/incongruous to have a lot of smoking on a contemporary sitcom.

I've been watching The Leftovers so I barely notice it on this show.

not to mention The Americans

i keep watching this show but i don't know if i like it much any more. i like many of the side characters (jared and gavin especially) but the dinesh/gilfoyle shit has been old for like two seasons now and takes up so much of most episodes. this season didn't seem to have as many big laughs.

this looks interesting: http://deadline.com/2018/05/silicon-valley-clay-tarver-my-war-amazon-studios-1202393690/

i love martin starr but gilfoyle is such a flat character, in affect and in character arc. he has no vulnerability or weakness

you guys watch this show for the story line? they could keep doing this show forever. its about the hahas and yuk-em-ups.

also I WAS RIGHT:

this show will be way better without Miller

dgaf about character development or plotlines, really. I'm here for the satire.

xxp

Hard disagree. I mean, it's not bad now, but it's worse.

yeah i thought this season was just... ok.

that said i don't think it was because of tj miller's absence, i barely noticed. knowing his rep irl i'm glad he's gone.

this was the best season!

side step:

has the fact that there's a CRUISING movie poster in one of the bedrooms in their house been brought up? funny detail.

yeah i don't miss tj miller. and i INVENTED the whole "i don't care about plot, i just want to laugh" thing. i just haven't been laughing as much at this show.

if this show prioritized the laughs it would be the jared and his dead friend muriel show.

regardless of anything else, this was much, much better than the previous season

jared is so funny that this season didn't need much else in the way of humour

TJ Miller is a creep, but if you didn't think he was funny on Silicon Valley, I guess we just have different senses of humor.

Something about the lighting or editing or direction on the show makes everyone less funny than they are in other things.

"I don't want to sound selfish but sometimes i wish only I made money, you know".

Finale was good but wasn’t sure how to feel about Monica suddenly having depth and trolling the audience by acknowledging fit on some level how underwritten she was.
Glad that’s changing. I did drama with crew and she’s a sweetheart

have Dinesh die in a horrific Tesla accident, simultaneously killing off a character who has become insufferable while trolling Elon Musk.

replace with Monica in the gang, all problems solved.

make monica have double life as a theranos-like villain at night, while day monica, who is not aware that she is night monica even though night monica is monica in a blond wig and black turtleneck, can't believe what night monica gets away with.

Have a scene where Richard talking about his research into a new system he's developing and mentions "analysis" which causes Monica to freeze, revealing she was a host the whole time!

reveal: Monica is a Janet

Doesn't almost every season end with a "Cool, Monica is in charge / in the gang now!" moment, that proceeds to be ignored as soon as the new season starts?

She seems like she'd be good with comic material if she wasn't forced to be the Exasperated Voice of Reason about everything.

amanda is very funny irl but she's been in lots of b-movies/etc.

silicon might change that.

Upcoming season will be the last, it likely won't start until 2020.

We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew, and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we can do to make the world a better place.

awesome, can still go out with some momentum

they announced last year that there wouldn't be a new season TXing in 2019 btw, due to Berg being busy with Barry

limping is a form of moving

Scans like one of his comedy bang bang bits.

Ha, seriously. I'd like to know what more he could have added that would have made his wife mad.

"nice hog buddy"

^^^ that's where I started to really think it was a cbb bit.
