Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 4 Thread -- Premieres 4/23/17
Finally got around to watching the episode and the editing and overall feel of it seemed rushed. As if they knew TJ had quit and they had to come up with something fast. Hell, we didn't even get to see that pretty girls, I forget her name, but she sits right across the men's bathroom. Also, the gag with the phones exploding and burning crotches off -- there was absolute no lead into that. When the episode started I thought I may have missed something.
Yes, the opium den gag is funny as is the refrigerator one, too. I just thought the ending seemed rushed. I'll still tune in next year, though.
This still makes me laugh like hell

Looks like it is coming back about a month earlier than last season.

I hope this gets back to being a good show, again. The trailer was pretty good!

I can't wait... I binged 4 seasons in about 3 weeks and fell in love with this show. I will miss the Jin Yang / Erlich stuff.

IDK this show was getting kind of thin plot wise last year and with the lead nerd doing all the verizon commercials I'm not looking forward to the return of the show. Too many dick moves and stupid stunts for my tastes for a show that is presumably supposed to make me root for the Pied Piper team...

Who says you gotta root for them?

The problem is that they portray their various rivals as cartoonishly evil, so there isn’t anywhere else to really turn. I don’t mind all characters having shades of gray to them, but you have to have somewhere to plant your rooting interest otherwise why care what happens and the show is reduced to a handful of funny one-liners.
