HBO's Silicon Valley
- Thread starter dahliaclone
- Start date
I thought it was a very interesting point made when Jared compared Richard to Gavin Belson. While I don't think Richard will become Gavin, I do think there was some foreshadowing there.
You may be the first/only person ever to compare Silicon Valley to Breaking Bad.
Ha yeah Jin Yang was super happy to get rid of him, hope he has more time on the show going forward.
Recall that in the first episode or one of the first episodes, erlich is telling Richard often to more of an a-hole. That it will be required to make it in the business. Richard has been trending in that direction. And he has done so unknowingly. If you asked him, I think he would say he hasn't changed. But those around him would disagree.
Interesting show. I love the humor and characters. The verbal discussions are so well written.
I agree. I think It's a deeper show than people give it credit, and this season has really brought that out in some of their characters
Sadly, TJ did an interview with (I think) GQ, and said he plans to never, ever come back to even guest. He wants to pull a Costanza.
I think the whole Tibet thing is a head fake by the show writers. Bachman's final exit from the show has to be more flamboyant than that. I expect Erlich to return in the season finale, probably somehow along for the ride as Gavin Belson returns to save Richard and Pied Piper and steal all the credit.
Interesting about TJ, kind of was hoping there would be a show or two he'd make an appearance on in the future but his character in general really didnt serve a purpose on the show so its not a big loss. Do look forward to how the other characters screen time grows, definitely want more Jared.
Or Gavin returns as a good guy based on the recent talk about how he was a good guy with ideals before he became what he is. Or course the whole Tibet thing didn't seem to help Christian Bales' Batman that much.
I'm stunned nobody else has commented on the suicide bomber scene!! F'ng epic!!!
The best scene of this episode (watch Jared's face when he hears it):
Richard : "I am going to put this in your backpack".
Dinesh : "Ohh noooo"
Richard : "That's fine"
Dinesh : "No.. I don't want to, I don't want to.."
Richard Interupts " You are going to hold this kill switch and then you are going to walk into the most densely populated area you can find.. alright.. then if you see the security coming, remember - you press this switch..and 'poof' you are gone.. yea??"
The lamb sacrifice suicidal music playing in the background
Dinesh : "I will get as many ************* as I can.."
Richard : "You will be rewarded in the end".

This is exactly why this show is so good. The way they wrote that scene was pure comic genius.

As cynical as this show is, I doubt it. I could see Gavin coming back and propping himself up as the good guy only to **** Richard and Pied Piper over in the end.
Probably but Gavin might actually be the good guy before reverting. He's kind of a ****** up dude after all. I can see him going from Paul to Saul to Paul and back to Saul again.
This wasn't just the best scene of this episode, pretty sure it was the second funniest scene of the whole show, middle-out being the funniest. I literally had to pause I was laughing so hard.
I'm right there with you, once I realized what was happening and then that music started in the background I was dyinggg.
then Dinesh says "I will get as many ************* as I can.."
and jared just blinks sadly and puts his headphones back over his ears.
such a well written scene
