I wonder if some designer has made a super fuggin expensive retro modern version of that projection TV using a flatscreen. That'd be neat.

I like episodes where fun things happen and people are happy and no so much "man everyone is depressed and helplessly mired in interpersonal problems" Remember in season 1 when problems would pop up and they'd solve them with wacky MacGuyver goofball techniques and they'd hi-five, and the progress on the plot-arc-macguffin they were working on didn't happen entirely offscreen?

There's no way Boz's son is just going to his job on July 4th all day long, is there? Also glad they gave Julie more screen time after the sucker punch. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 15:03 on Sep 23, 2016 |

Ersatz posted:No one mentioned histrionics. She's clearly ambivalent about marrying Tom, and it's not clear that she's over Joe. I agree with this. It seems like lots of people here want their characters to be perfect people who have simple story arcs and act like robots or cartoons. I enjoy the idea that everyone is flawed and face their own struggles or demons throughout their life and each episode lets us see a little more of their world, at times making you angry at them and at other making you cheer for them.

This episode is one of the few times I felt kinda badly for Cameron but goddamn if she didn't deserve it. Also this show had a Choir Invisible song, so whoever is doing the soundtrack work is on point.

One of the frustrating things this season has been that no one has called Cameron on her acting like Mutiny is all her idea. Donna came up with community, Diane bought swap meet, and its all hosted on Gordon's server.

Man, Ryan and Cameron both tugging the heartstrings this episode.... What's the likelihood this will get a fourth season? I know it had good buzz, but that it was also unexpected for it to get renewed once, let alone twice, and looking it up now it seems like the viewing numbers of this season are even lower.

Luvcow posted:This, but i was a little surprised how much Donna attacked her I wasn't. Cameron is very much like Joe in that she will use people to fulfill an objective but wants singular credit for whatever success their actions bring. Cameron believes that Mutiny is pretty much hers and hers alone, despite claiming that it's supposed to be a 'community.' I'm hoping they aren't going to portray Cameron as blameless in all of this because her unwillingness to capitulate on anything that compromises her vision is the albatross around the company's neck. My problem with Cameron isn't the way she behaves, it's the framing they use for her character. I'm hoping they avoid the fairly obvious conclusion of Donna becoming "The Man" while Gordon, Clark and possibly Cameron form another upstart, visionary company that will revolutionize everything. That being said, that whole scene in the meeting room was tense and Cameron's dazed "Oh" during the vote was the first time I had felt genuine sympathy for the character in a long time.

That's really well said. There's that thing with her character that she's the youngest one there, hung out with the kids when she lived at the house and came into the story as the kid. I like that she and Joe are both very self absorbed and somewhat unaware of the people around them but not so totally flawed that they can't eventually see it and realize what they've done. I am a little bummed they went away from Gordon's health issues from th earlier episode this season because it really seemed to show how he was going down a different path then Donna, in that he was contemplating the end of his life and having fun bonding with the staff more and appreciating life whereas Donna was going full tilt career moves. wormil posted:I was flabbergasted it got a 2nd season.

Cameron status: still loving sucks. Surrounded by people she trusts, all of whom have way more business experience than her, she continues to act like an rear end in a top hat. Joe status: continues to improve. He was a fucker (that I really enjoyed watching) in S1 but I do believe he's been a changed man since. In S2 he tried to help Mutiny, Cameron ruined him (which he took the fall for) and Gordon turned him down twice for the new company. He tried to do the right thing by Ryan and Ryan hosed himself in S3. Joe ain't a bad dude in my opinion.

I feel like the scene with Cameron at Joe's apartment was a seed for something. I think she's going to leave her husband and chase after Joe. I'm glad Joe and Gordon are back together. I like this show a lot and I hope it gets a new season.

A renewal is surprisingly feasible. The Walking Dead remains a juggernaut, and there's a lot of hype with (S6 finale/new characters) the big reveal of who Negan takes out. Plus, you know, H&CF is even more of a critical darling this season, and it's not a big budget show (nor does it need to be). I hope it comes back, too.

Yeah, AMC's renewals seem to often rely more on critical reception than ratings. The show keeps improving every year, I can see it getting a couple more seasons easily if this keeps up.

Joe is not a bad guy as long as you aren't in business with him or having a personal relationship of any kind with him. His problem is being self destructive without regard for hurting others and has been consistently since the beginning. It's why he left IBM. It's not that he goes around with bad intentions but when things don't go his way he burns it all to the ground. As a character I love him, he's awesome, but I wouldn't be his friend or partner.

I've had friends like this in the past. They're magnetic at first, and even though they're essentially well-meaning people, after a while I realize it's healthy to be around them only occasionally. It's the type of person who at any given point in time is 15 minutes away from yet another reinvention, but 15 years away from getting their poo poo together (whether it's financial, personal, etc.).

Cameron is right they should wait on the IPO. They don't need it to expand to other platforms and they'll be worth 5 times as much then. She was right about the credit cards too. Her problem is she doesn't know how to communicate or interact with people, a lot like you nerds.

The company being worth 5 times as much was a blue sky, best case scenario projection, and more importantly the longer Mutiny is a highly visible commodity for acquisition, the more competitors will crop up in the meantime and undercut their worth in those 2 years. Conversely, there was very little argument against the influx of capital from investors somehow impeding Cameron from improving their infrastructure like she always intended to. It isn't an do or die scenario even though her refusal to budge made it seem like it was.

That explains a lot, but I would guess most people would DVR it like me. I always end up watching it Wednesday night. I saw this posted somewhere else and it's not good. Ratings: Season 1: Episode 1: 1.19 million Episode 2: 970K Episode 3: 765K Episode 4: 844K Episode 5: 575K Episode 6: 717K Episode 7: ??

Urg not good. While I think 5 season would be perfect for the show, right now I will just take 4 if we get lucky.

The real issue is that Cameron has no intention of going public, ever. If they ever made it through that crazy list of stuff to implement she'd have another list ready to go.
