It wouldn't surprise me that this would get him booted. The show is already regularly slammed by Jezebel/Slate/etc. for sexism based on the (realistically) skewed cast, which I think is especially unfair given the nature of the few times it's actually commented on gender: "I'm an engineer. I'm not a 'female engineer'."

The biggest reach I saw was about the negging scene, where Richard gives it a try. I had thought the punchline in that scene was Richard's hopeless awkwardness, but it was actually the fact that he said "if you don't invest, you're a dirty slut" to a (room full of investors, one of whom happened to be a) woman.

Didn't Miller land in hot water over comments at some conference appearance a while ago? I caught a headline or something but never followed up.

He offended the tech dweebs when he hosted the Crunchies award and made fun of everyone in the audience.

T.J. Miller is going full Nick Nolte without having the *young* Nick Nolte phase.

I read some interview with Miller where he was going on about how his wife is a true artist and ordinary plebs wouldn't understand or something and he came off as quite a dingus.

That being said, did you forget Russ pissing in Erlich's car ? Excellent gag.

I thought that was a great episode, I laughed a lot during it. But drat, Haley Joel Osment's put on some weight.

It doesn't surprise me Miller is leaving. I won't share too many details, but someone I know saw him get really drunk and make a bunch of (unfunny) comments. Apparently he's insufferable and basically the cast's Chevy Chase, only without the prior track record of good work.
His stated reason was that he's trying to make room for movie offers, but putting 2 and 2 together makes me wonder if he thinks (or has even publicly said to the cast) that he's too good for Silicon Valley or TV in general now. Good luck with The Emoji Movie publicity tour, TJ!

I saw TJ Miller quite a few times years ago and met him a few times, because we had mutual friends and was sort of shocked that he blew up, cause I found him super unfunny and annoying. He's loving hilarious on SV though, so I am converted but I don't think I'd want to be around him for extended amounts of time.

Part of what makes erlich work is he sucks and generally fails all the time and is a laughing stock. His abrasive dickishness doesn't usually pay off or pays off in a funny way. If tj Miller acts like that irl i could see how it would be annoying given he is a rich celebrity and not a dumbass incubatorer.

Yeah, there were a couple funny moments but this one really rubbed me the wrong way. Gilfoyle smacking Dinesh from behind in particular - it felt like their relationship was openly hostile at that point. Maybe it's just me but flat out hitting someone crosses a line. I hope they reel that back in, those two work better when they're just loving with each other.

I think they're definitely ramping up the animosity between them. And you can tell that they know hitting people is crossing a line, because the violence spills over to poor Jared, and we get that shot of him looking sad with a a big red mark on his face from Dinesh hitting him.

The guy who said the series ends with Jared smothering Richard with a pillow for the monster he's become was on the right track, but it's actually going to be him burning down the whole incubator for the monsters they've all become.
