I hope not. Richard is easily the most annoying character on the show. Her and Erlich hooking up and it bothering Richard would be way funnier.

Bighead is such a complete maroon. Now he is going to get sued by GB on his NDA and lose his $20 million. And he and Erlich formed a partnership, so will be hilarious if Erlich thinks he got over on Bighead, but gets dragged into it.
Are you referring to him being quoted in the article? I think there are whistleblower protection laws in place to prevent that from happening. Yes I realize I took the show way too seriously.
Yea, I don't know if it will happen, but seems like a logical and funny path to follow. GB sues BH to get the settlement back, Erlich gets caught up in it because of the agreement he just put together (lol, just signed before BH dropped the bomb on GB), Erlich somehow gets BH to let him out of the deal and any liability, then BH luckily wins in court/arbitration and gets to keep the $, and now Erlich is on the outside (again). At least that is the way I would play it, with a fuming GB and his powerful lawyers once again losing on some kind of technicality.
^^^ yeah I know what you mean. While watching last night I was thinking to myself this won't end up good for bighead.
Funny thing is he never seems to really care about anything. I'm kinda surprised how much he is involved at this point in the show.

Ok, I love this show, and it is uniquely hilarious, but a few times I've thought to myself, "HOW MANY MORE WAYS CAN THESE GUYS **** UP?!?!"
I saw the hard drive screw up coming a mile away and I knew that he was talking to the reporter right away too.
I still love this show though.

Agreed, you could definitely tell that it was not the PR lady that he was talking to from the get go. But with how much these guys have ****ed up throughout the show they have got a couple strokes of luck the past couple episodes. From the Gavin buying EndFrame and giving them a price-point for middle-out, to Bighead giving them the story to save Richard from having his story published, they have got a few lucky breaks after their screw ups. I've always taken the screw ups with a grain of salt because I think it is supposed to portray how hard it is to truly make it in Silicon Valley even if you have the best technology, especially when it is mostly coders who are running the ship. I take the show for its jokes and one-liners and the storyline is secondary in my mind. Although I think they are shaping it more into being about the storyline now with throwing their jokes in there.
I binged watched season 1 and 2 as I don't have HBO. Should I start to follow along, or just wait until the end of season 3?
We did catch the first 2 episodes of this season as we couldnt stay away.

I did too. And one thing that made me smile about it was the conversation between Dinesh and Gilfoyle about proper method to wipe a hard disk. It's 100% accurate. I thought they were going to go in a slightly different direction, and have their data get stolen because Dinesh only wiped the HD rather than destroy it. It's a fight that I've had multiple times at my job, where some folks can't seem to grasp that there's no such thing as a "secure" HD wipe. You have to destroy the drive. Little things like that make this show so much more believable and enjoyable. Also, Erlich destroying juicers at an alarming rate just kills me.
Last night's episode had me rolling. Jared is just straight up awesome. "I guess Russ was right, that guy ****s"
The part where Jared was describing his stuffed animals had me crying from laughter.
Richard basically destroys his relationship with his neurosis over "spaces vs. tabs" (which I kind of get because as a technical writer formatting is everything to me - there's a time to use spaces and a time to use tabs - but I'd never let it destroy a relationship like that) - then he nearly kills himself by "tabbing" his way down the stairs and his girl says "meh - see you around". That and how Gilfoyle had both "relationships" pegged. Laughed.
I thought they were going to steal and replace the old dudes hard drive but the quick drill fix was funnier.
