In keeping with the dramatic patterns they’ve established, I think that bitcoin counter of theirs is going to suddenly blow up, two minutes before the end of the episode...just as Richard is about to sign something awful (possibly with Belson, as you suggest).

They’re both assholes, just in wildly divergent ways.

I think the trajectory of pied piper and hooli are leading to them teaming up versus China cliffhanger for the end of the season. Gavin has no way to make a physical product and pied piper has no money...so the only way to move forward is together.

That’s one tight spacesuit.

That was quite the gratuitous butt shot, wasn’t it?

You didn’t hear?

‘The biggest problem with this approach is that Silicon Valley fails to take any sort of cogent position on the issue.’

This must have been discussed multiple times before, but is the show trying to imply that Richard Hendricks is gay, or that he is asexual and people have accidentally read that as gay, or that he might be gay but is in deep denial?

This tower?

He does. It’s just a little less spermy.

I’m not going to lie. That does look like a sperm. I love the painting. It’s easily the most interesting and creative presidential portrait. I would love the painting even if it weren’t Obama. That may, however, be a sperm. Artists are strange.

I got such a kick out of the Enterprise showing up at the end (and it looked fantastic), so of course the AVC review hates it.

As I gotten older, I find I don’t care so much about comic book type continuity. Not story continuity, like A leads to B and then to C, plot and story wise. Continuity like how does this story done now fits into a story made 35 years ago with precise detail.

So Sarek just forces mind melds on people now. I still find this weird as hell.

Looking forward to this episode. I feel like the Klingon War arc retroactively adds a lot of context to ST:VI. It helps explain why enlightened Starfleet officers would suddenly drop casual racism into conversations about Klingons, or why a bunch of high-ranking officers on both sides would conspire to kill their…

Can we stop pretending that Obama was some sort of great leader? He’s better than Trump, but so is every other one not named Buchanan or Jackson.

Wow you are really beating that over a decade old South Park joke to death, aren’t you?

You’re 11 episodes in and have come here to complain.  Troll or just sad loser?

Both John’s job change (mirroring Geordi) and getting a cat (Gordon sits in the same place and Isaac is a straight reference) made me think these were some more ST:TNG homages.

Personally, I’m kind of happy to see a lighter take on the whole Trek style of program rather than yet another re-hash of the essentially humorless “Roddenberry’s solemn vision of what the future can be” that’s been offered up for the past 50 years.
