    Hahahhahahaha. That's more like it, let the douche flow through you kiddo.

    Like I said initially, you were trying to hard. It was very obvious you don't actually talk and/or type like that. This however, I believe is the real you. Great job!

    I think the episodes do end on a major bummer too many times. It seems like the company is going to collapse or someone's career nearly ends every episode.

    They could turn it down a notch on these dramatic plot twists and allow more character interactions on the minutiae of working together (like Gilfoyle at the coffee shop with the jacket).

    Also Laurie is such an over the top and unbelievable caricature, I can't wait until they get rid of her.

    It's a funny show and I love that it focuses on this field, but I think their aim is a bit off. Reminds me of Parks and Rec's first season - it's good but I think there's potential to be much better.

    Great way of looking at it. I didn't like parks and rec initially at all. It became much funnier later on.

    This could have been the ending of the series and I would have been happy with it. They have basically come full circle back where they started. Would've been a good note to go out on.

    Will be interesting to see where they take it now. I enjoy the show so hope they can keep it fresh.

    Maybe go on a larger scale. Maybe its finally time for them to make it and deal the the 'mo money mo problems' theme.

    How did you go from writing convoluted posts with many unnecessarily complex words forced in that you probably needed a dictionary for to making such a vulgar and primitive post? I've seen you lose it like that before.

    Vince Gilligan and the creator of banshee told it best. To put out a masterpiece, you're telling a story. Don't tell half of your story, and don't stretch your story out for more episodes. You tell your story ...and you're done.

    The writers are doing exactly what we thought they would. So what if it runs 4-5 seasons only? That's much better than doing what they are now and it lasting even less than that.

    The writers have a blank canvas now and can go in any direction. Pied Piper has pivoted to video chat which is not new or innovative but appears to go head to head with Hooli Chat - appears that Gavin will still be around as their nemesis.

    Dump Laurie and Raviga and bring in a new hilarious investor. Maybe go on Shark Tank to make fun of themselves for jumping the shark.

    Did people complain about the plot of The Office too? 30 Rock?

    Trying to wrap my head around people whining about the plot to a comedy series.

    I love how you equate disliking something to "whining".

    I'm trying to wrap my head about people who complain about other peoples' opinions over the internet in a thread intended for people to voice their opinions and discuss things.

    Good way to ignore the actual comment.

    Not quite the same. Those shows were much more episodic, while Silicon Valley is one interconnected story. It's fair that people would like to see plot progression. I get what you're saying, though.

    I like Veep. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is really fit for 55.

    Cant believe there's no Veep thread. They even had a Hakeem Olajuwon reference this season. Hakeem Olaju-twat. Lulz.
