Silicon Valley
« on: August 28, 2014, 03:11:49 PM »
Had this one loaded up on my DVR for months, banged the whole thing out quickly.

Good characters and acting. And Martin Starr is always good at doing Martin Starr things.

The plotlines are all on an "Entourage" level of predictability though.

When the next season rolls around it'll probably sit on my DVR for months again.

The show was, despite my early objections, excellent. You should watch it.

That was easily the finest moment of the series.

The real Silicon Valley has completely changed traffic patterns in the Bay Area.  The only time that you can avoid traffic jams in the South Bay is to restrict your driving during daylight hours to those between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm.  Any other time you can add 2 hours to a trip that should take 45 minutes.  Then there was the time that I was driving near the Google campus in Santa Clara and looked to my right only to see a car driving along and the only person in it was sitting in the back seat.
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

The more we have of the latter, (hopefully!) the less we'll have of the former.

Agreed. The strong end to Season 2 helped it edge past Veep in my mind. Now that those two shows won't be back for like 9 months, I don't even know what to do with myself.

How does everyone feel about Richard/Thomas Middleditch? Annoying or no? For me, at times, he's kind of become like Piper in OITNB: The less we see of the lead, the better. I don't hate him completely but he did grate a few times this season.

That's basically the entire point of his character. He's the straight man/everyman/foil/voice of reason. The reason you like the rest of the characters is because they play off of him. He's perfect at what he does.

I hated him at first until I realized how perfect he is. Sterling is right about Piper though - awful, awful character.
