This.

Would be nice if “being a relentless dick to the nerdy son” wasn’t the constant recurring bit it is on the old show...

He mentioned the Emoji Movie twice in the interview, I think it's clear he's treating it as a nice paycheck and nothing more.

"I’d like to parasail into the Cannes Film Festival for The Emoji Movie because that’s the next new funny thing that will make people laugh."

Big Head felt a bit like he was a parody of Big Head this season in general, and this episode in particular. He was always the weakest coder of the group, but he was many steps above a guy who would use a password/password combo.

There's an argument to be made for maximizing your opportunities while you're on a hot TV show.

I think the payoff there was him letting Jared keep his lie at the end there though, which was bizarrely sweet.

No, we're critiquing the episode based on the fact that the central tension of the episode doesn't make any sense.

Re them only sending the beta out to other engineers - didn't Jared send it to all his girlfriends which was why his list of invites was full? Not saying girls couldn't be engineers obviously, but rather it seems odd that Jared exclusively dates engineers? This guy fucks, after all.

The episode was good but it just seemed like they were in a bad situation because the script said so. People don't understand you app, I don't know, hire a designer, do some on-boarding. It's not that complicated.

Nope. He's terrible.

I've long been curious if I'm alone in the following: From the very first episode, I have not experienced even a moment of mirth from the 'Bachman' character. I have nothing against the actor, but the character is one that I cannot abide… to the point where I watch the show only begrudgingly, hoping upon hope each…

Erm no, the reason I (and I'm sure a lot of other people) got into Silicon Valley is because it was a bit of a smarter comedy than your average. But that explanation of the tech holds up to absolutely no scrutiny whatsoever, it would have been better if they kept it more vague. I just can't buy into the characters…

You're not putting it in terms they would understand.

As a designer, this episode was straight up painful to watch. A part of what makes this show so amazing is how true it rings to the industry (at least, the parts that I understand). Because of that, it was just too much of stretch that NO ONE brought up hiring someone to redesign the UI.

The storage scheme Richard "explains" is kooky. It's rightfully not described as cloud storage because cloud storage is storage that exists elsewhere from your devices. Whether any is stored on your actual device is irrelevant to cloud storage. And they explain it as stored on everyone else's devices using p2p. And…

I was really torn between my instinct to defend our kind as "not THAT clueless" and my suspicion that yes, some of us are. If it was literally just the three inexperienced ubernerd devs who whipped it up and shipped it out, that I could maybe buy. But Jared surely had to have seen something wrong. Even Erlich seems…

Yeah the idea that Richard had to explain cloud storage without using the words cloud storage made me roll my eyes a bit, then shrug. The idea of engineers being unable to communicate with users is universal and overall they sold it well, the specifics were just a little…faked. Kind of like Richard's ex girlfriend…

I'm beginning to tire from the immediate resetting of the table—Gavin becomes C.E.O.; Pied Piper's staff is reduced to the original gang, etc. This show is so lovable and yet I can't help but want more from it dramatically. To see these characters move up and establish new baselines, or even splinter off for longer…

Season 2 Pam is in Scranton, and is deeply unhappy (largely because of who she's getting married to), and associates those feelings with her location, thinking that if she could just leave town then everything else would disappear.
