The best part about the ridiculous "Tables" ad is that I'm pretty sure that the music was by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, which is well known as a anti-capitalist band.

In a weird way I'm...happy(?) to see Gavin and Jack build something from the wreckage of Pied Piper's B2B phase, specifically because Gavin is out for revenge not against Pied Piper, but against the board members who hosed him

I really like the story this season, this season is really good, but other then the first episode the show has lost its humor almost completely? There's been some good jokes but not on the frequency of seasons 1 and 2 and nothing that has made me laugh out loud.

How did you not lose your poo poo at Pipey? Or Gavin bringing the board to a god drat elephant? There may not be as much humor but there is still a lot of it that is really good.

What I don't get, is that it seems Gavin decided to pull the "I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE" gambit before he even signed the "we're sorry we almost shitcanned you" contract they were pitching.

Edit: ^^Booo, it was hilarious! Also, TJ Miller's being overused. He's fat and depressed and his character sucks. I'm with the terminator guy. The way Pied Piper's network functions, it sounds like some kind of World Brain whose long-term memory is your file storage.

I think that was pretty much just cloud computing and machine learning as explained by someone trying to sound as hobo crazy as possible. I liked the "We all know what's in eggs...? Electrons!"

It was a decent season finale once you chose to actively ignore the fact that for the sake of ensuring Pied Piper's perpetual underdog status the show has sacrificed much of its authenticity. The plot point of Richard being on the spectrum and failing to recognize the end-user oriented UI design is a thing and that no company would approach a beta release without UI designers on board was fine at first as it set up this last episode but Richard coming with some half assed explanation for why they're not able to simplify the UI (or at least offer a simple layout alongside the 'airplane' one) was silly, I expected a mad dash to the finish line not Richard and everyone else simply ignoring the existence of a straight forward solution. The thing with the box also bothered me cause in the first place there was no compelling explanation as to why Pied Piper didn't sell the amazing box they produced initially, Jack's "algorithmic exclusivity for three times the price" clause could have been knocked out and they could have sold the box either way, this being used as a rescue line for Gavin instead (effectively undoing his entire arc this season) was kinda lame. I still liked it cause this is all bullshit but I expected them to be clever, idk. emanresu tnuocca fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Jun 20, 2016 |

Ah, well. As long as the UI thing won't be a cliffhanger I guess I don't mind as much.

Did anyone else get the vibe that they're going to hire Bernice as their layman's spokesperson? If they can explain it to her and have her get it, she could be the one to teach the average user about it. Because we all know Richard sucks at that.

Yeah, she seemed like a nice combination of [Deeply Understands], [Is Enthusiastic] and [Is Personable]. She'd be a great spokesperson.

I am not that smart so this might be obvious to everyone else. If the photos and videos are in everyone´s phones, what happens when lets say 5% of the people storing my picture are not connected to the internet the moment I want my picture?

Lots of people help the compression and retrieval, but the photos themselves are somewhere in that giant server farm we keep on seeing or one just like it. The bigger question is what happens if you're without an internet connection, how do you get your photos and files then? Especially since there's no option to download anything put on Pied Piper.

Not so many good jokes and it's hard to suspend my disbelief when the show ignores the most obvious possible solution to its problem. I get the whole schtick about engineer-driven culture, but they're stretching it way too thin by making it an existential threat to the company rather than, ya know, spending money to fix the UI/UX.

Well they had money for a UX guy when they first addressed the problem. Richard opted for those seminars and trade shows instead because he thought the platform couldn't be changed.

Richard has geolocating on for users, given he learned Monica was using the app and lying about it. No way that all the new users are in one area doesn't come to light pretty quick next episode. While not an episode heavy on the jokes, I dug Erlich's continued use of the plane crash metaphor with all the emphatic details.
