Silicon Valley - New HBO Sitcom from Mike Judge - Page 51

Ive been a massive fan of this show since day one, but this season has been very ordinary. I've hardly laughed. The latest ep last week was really average. My theory as to why it's not doing it for me, is no Hanneman. He just owns every scene and has me pissing myself. They need to bring him back before this thing dies.

Tech rag readers like myself might enjoy this:

your theory is that a guy who is in 6 episodes (sometimes briefly) no longer appears?

Another bad episode. Doubt this show survives past season 4.

I also thought this episode was really funny. Loved the "this guy ****s" callback.

Tabs vs spaces super unrealistic though--does anyone actually use spaces?

Don't worry about Big Head being broke.

In an episode or two, he'll probably sell his newly bought tech blog to a media conglomerate and bank in excess of $25 million.

Disagree, lots of funny stuff in this episode, you might need to be a techie to appreciate a lot of the jokes though.

76ers logo? You seem like the kind of poster that would use spaces over tabs.

This is fantastic - Erlich's extended takedown of Barker, who almost breaks character a few times with laughter.

The tabs vs spaces was kinda stupid as nobody as only heathens would use spaces. It's not really a debate.

Other then that I thought the episode was much better. Best line I thought was the Erlich telling the crowd that Aloha means hello and Big Head saying that is also means goodbye.

Only other nit is Gilfloye calling the Estonia girl Slavic. Gilfoyle would know better.

What about using an IDE where when you press tab, 4 spaces are inserted automatically?

hoping that we might be coming to a close on the bachman trying to take advantage of bighead storyline. bachman here has been mostly not funny and makes him less likeable. if bachman has been getting 3 minutes of screentime per episode, his 2:30 trying to bilk bighead has been generally crummy, but fortunately he still manages something funny with some popin on another character.

only benefit has been opportunities for bighead to get time, moving his swimming pools around and stuff, not interrupting his assistant since shes on the phone.
