10 episode 3rd season

Renewed for a 4th season last week

I loved the Hooli scenes

"That's the most courageous thing I've ever seen" :lol:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

This was a really strong episode, I thought. Erlich just steals every scene he's in, and I love it.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Good start, but the one gripe I had was Hendricks going to that new company with the mustaches and not knowing a single thing before on what the company was about. It was amusing, and he realized he made a mistake when they did that funny demo on him, but he should have known before hand.

And I want to be like Big Head, not do anything in a company like Hooli, get bumped to an executive position, then laid off and received a $20 mil severance package.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Except that they told him the mustache thing was a new/secret project. He was interested in updating their video platform, but they brushed that aside.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Ah, okay. I missed that part. That makes it a bit more sense. I loved it when he was dialing his phone and the mustache was trying to catch up to his face.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

This continues to be one of the funnier shows on TV. It really benefits from its strong cast.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Solid 1st episode. I loved Gavin calling that big press conference and then doing the fake out and announcing that he was firing that entire department. :lol:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I thought season two was uneven and lost some of the spirit from season one. It's not a huge role but the autistic woman CEO character bothers me. I was hoping she'd get dumped from the show.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Very good first episode.
Actor who plays Dinesh has lost a ton of weight

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Erlich kicking the robot was fucking fantastic. :lol:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Yes! I was cracking up so hard at that whole scene, especially when I saw it was that robot deer as soon as they hit it with the car. :lol:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

It's been so long. I am so happy this show is back.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I noticed that too. He was never really fat, but he seems to have lost a lot of facial fat.

Funny episode.

Love how Big Head keeps stumbling his way to some sort of success. 20 mill... time to retire. Why would he even be on the show any more?

Gavin's speech was hilarious. What a prick.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I would assume bighead will somehow come back and Piper.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Yeah, with $20mil, I could see the guys talking Bighead into funding a new venture for them.

Good premiere this week. I'll echo a couple sentiments already stated - Gavin's press conference was pretty funny. Such a slime ball. Loved Elrich and Barker's introduction as highlighted in one of the clips above. :up:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

No doubt, that's probably where they're going with it. But to be true to Big Heads nature - I would think he'd just retire. He can still help his friends out with funding, but it would be weird for him to work at PP when he's loaded and doesn't need the job. He's shown numerous times that he has absolutely no ambition, is lazy and is of average intelligence at best - so he wouldn't even do it as a hobby.

They're obviously going to keep him around though... and I'm glad because his situations are hilarious.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Exactly - that's why they'd "talk him into it", as he'll probably do it just to hang out with them and be friends again.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

He's probably going to stumble into more and more fortuitous situations throughout the series, and do nothing else.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I suppose he'll end up buying a seat on the Pied Piper board later in the season, balancing it out and reinstating Richard as CEO.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Wasn't prepared for horse porn.

Loved Erlich and Jian

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

:lol: at the horse porn scene and Erlich screwing himself telling Jian about the renters law.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I loved the video at the end showing all the possible threats to stealing data - with a candid shot of Dinesh being shown to represent "foreigners". :lol:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I haven't found this season as laugh-out-loud funny as last so far, but E02 was so dead-on re:the tension between sales and tech people.

I loved the CEO's "double triangle" chart or whatever chart it was...it brought back memories of Gartner's magic quadrants, and other goofy stuff anyone who's been through an MBA program secretly laughs about when they leave the classroom. They've got to have some writers with marketing backgrounds coming up with this stuff.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

It's probably all from series co-creator James Altucher who's gone through all that stuff and more. You should check out his blog and stories; some fascinating stuff.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

"Django Unchained" :lol:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

loved the ending

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I loved all the prep, the montage, and laying the groundwork that they were going to spend at least part of this season working on a secret project, only to be completely ruined because Richard tripped :lol:

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I'm wondering if the whole thing is a swerve and that the trip is all part of the plan.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

It better be. It was quite awkward and the fact no one tackled Kevin(?) before he walked it into the big boss was lame. Everyone just stood there like dumbasses.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I don't think it was part of the plan, considering everyone was pissed at Richard for bringing the documents and wondered what the fuck he was doing.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Yeah but they also took the time out of the episode to point out how they needed to act the part. So maybe it's all part of it.

I don't know, just the feeling I get.

I thought the ending was funny as it is but it also seems that they went through a lot of set up for that the be the only payoff. Then again, pulling the rug out from underneath these guys is what the show does pretty often.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

Yeah - along that note, it was funny to see Carla and expect her to help out, but then just demand her back pay.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I enjoyed seeing Jared have a chance to make funny of someone else for once.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

I mean, it's in the name of the episode. :)

They know Barker will expect something underhanded, so they give him what he expects through extreme incompetence so he will lower his guard. But the plans aren't actually the real plans they prepared. They're all fake.

Re: Silicon Valley (HBO) -- Season 3 Thread -- Premieres 4/24/16
 

OMG, this show is the funniest fucking thing on TV... hands down!

Serious tension next week, that teaser...
