I work for a tech startup and don't find it particularly realistic in terms of the situation I've been in. In any case, treading plot water just makes the show stale after a while.Boris Galerkin posted:The problem is that the story seems to be just spinning and nothing [lasting] is ever happening. They're still in startup mode with a million dollar idea struggling to get money to build that million dollar idea. Every win they make ends up being one or two steps back. Also whenever it seems like they're going to introduce an interesting new character to the group they just nope it out pretty quickly for some reason, like Carla or Dinesh's hacker girlfriend who ended up being kind of crazy.

Vulture is reporting that Jian Yang will kill Erlich by the end of the season.

I thought this was a joke but TJ Miller is really not coming back.

I don't know how this is going to affect the show to be honest. First season I would be devastated, but now I really don't think losing any one member of the cast will ruin the show outright.

Who is Jian Yang going to call a stupid, fat, lying rear end in a top hat now?

Erlich is probably my least favorite character. He's kind of a one note joke and that joke has started to wane. On a series rewatch you really start to feel it.
|
# ? May 25, 2017 20:33 |
|
to be perfectly honest, the best Erlich got was very early on in Season 1 when he went on the shroom vision quest and sat in the desert babbling techno jargon while hallucinating logos. that is still probably the funniest scene in the show to me. technologeeeezus...oh gently caress!
|
# ? May 25, 2017 20:35 |
|
Nope, he's still the best. edit: ^ just watched that episode. The best part isn't even the vision quest, it's when he comes back having kidnapped that kid who he thinks is himself from the future.

They've still got a great cast, and the jokes are sharp, and they recovered well when Peter Gregory's actor died, but it's still a big blow.
|
# ? May 25, 2017 20:37 |

If it's like when Gregory's actor died they're just gonna hire someone else to be almost exactly the same type of character.......am I sensing Russ Hanneman moving up to a starring role?!?!

Did he decide to leave or did they decide for him to leave? My favorite moment is his long rant where he was guessing what old people things Jack Barker liked.

elrich, out of money, decides to sell the house. its bought cash under the guise of foreign investment. the deal goes through and it was jian-yang the entire time. elrich tries to claim squatter's rights but jian-yang has figured out a way to kick him out. elrich becomes a bum who from time to time shows up and dispenses wisdom.

Someone brought piss to a poo poo fight. Depressing. I really like TJ Miller, though I've heard rumors he's a pretty big prick for awhile now. He seems pretty awesome in interviews, but I guess that's still a persona on some level. TJ Miller S1 would have been a devastating blow to the show. Since then he's still been great, and usually has one epic scene per season that justifies him, but he's probably the one character I'd least miss at this point. Still will be missed.
