Goodbyes are always hard, especially when I'm the one saying goodbye. Today effective immediately, I Gavin Belson founder and CEO of Hooli am forced to say goodbye, to the entire Nucleus division. Make no mistake, though they are the ones leaving, it is I that must remain and bear the heavy burden of their failure, it is my fault, I trusted them to get the job done, that is the price of leadership.

Just so awesome!

Sounds like a couple of bosses I worked for.

 
This is such a good show.  To me, the weakest character is turning out to be Richard.  I don't think it is so much the actor himself as much as the limited flexibility available to the character. 

eta. I like the actor playing the new CEO.  He's a character actor I've seen 100 times in different roles.  Should be interesting to see how this develops.

Watching again:

When Erlich meets Action Jack and is insulting him, he pauses and looks down at his cheat sheet with old man jokes  :lmao:

Ned... Ryerson. "Needlenose Ned"? "Ned the Head"? C'mon, buddy. Case Western High. Ned Ryerson: I did the whistling belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson: got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn't graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson: I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple times until you told me not to anymore? Well?

Richard is sort of the straight man to all the action around him, I get why people would view him as a weak character but I feel like he sets up the other characters to shine.  He is underrated if anything.

The only characters I can say something negative about are the VC's, could've gone a different route there, but no biggie.

The Dinesh/Gilfoyle combo are still prob my faves with Jared/Erlich right behind. 

Gavin climbs my rankings every episode, he's awesome. They're all awesome, great show.

At an hour it prob would drag, 38 minutes would be perfect for this one. I just hope it has at least 3 more seasons.

 
Big Head is living my dream life. Getting paid big bucks to do nothing at work and then getting offered $20 million to go away.

They try to make him more than just a straight man but his awww shucks your pissing me off doesn't play well IMO>

 
Liked episode one better, still enjoyed this one though. 

Favorite scene; "foreigners" and a picture of Denish :lmao:

I love this show. But I swear that no one I know watches it. The horses in the background while Richard was trying to talk had me frigging dying! :lmao:

 
That scene with Hendricks falling down is the exact same type of writing that gave us the Bachman testimony from last season (when he was on the stand and revealed the computer = girlfriend)... Identical! Not a fan of that kind of writing. 

IDK, feels like we'll get one more season after this one to wrap it up, but the show feels like it has kinda peaked. It is still at a high level even on what might be the decline, but I think it possible we have seen the best from this one.

 
They can spend 20 minutes making fun of each other an Elrich busting out soliloquies for all I care....

I agree, I'll watch until the end, but I think we may have seen the best... Great show, hard to stay at that level forever. 

Hopefully I'm wrong.

 
BTW, I only watched the coming attractions once and briefly, but it looks like BigHead is running the incubator that Ehrilch goes to visit in the next episode, right?

 
didn't realize this thread existed.  great show.  my favorite moment is during season 1 (I think) when Gill Foil and Duh Nesh are arguing over who gets Big Hett's shares and Richard goes "I GET THEM" with a crazed look on his face.  great acting all around.  sucks what happened to Christopher Evan Welch, he was easily my favorite character.

 
Got a chuckle out of scene where they fast forward the overnight session on Skunkworks and showed Ehrlich spending the whole time on his bong.

Sorry, but nothing beats the #### jerk algorithm.  That was one of the funniest bits ever.

When George Washington founded a little startup we've come to know as these United States of America and he was tired of taking #### from his CEO, the king of England. Did he just roll over and take it from behind? No. He called on his ride or die homeboys. Tommy Jefferson. Benny Franklin, Alexander Hamilton.. He was half black, that's Danesh He said, avast ye fellow bad asses. Let's build this country the way we mother ####### want to.
