The best part about that scene is the way the music swelled to lead the audience in that direction too and then suddenly quit.

The commercial with "foreigners" and Dinesh's picture had me laughing for a solid minute. The look Richard and Jared give other was a nice addition.

I don't know how I feel about them building up what looked to be the driving plot of the rest of the season only to have it be undone in the final moments because of Richard's stupidity. Brilliant? Frustrating? Yes? Some great moments but not my favorite episode. For some reason the best joke for me was "That's the movie with Julia Roberts and twelve men"

Jared going absolutely overboard with his burn was amazing. Really thought the programmer girl who extorted them was going to gently caress them anyway. Personally I think the show excels when it lambasts SV culture, and the actual plot is pretty thin so this episode didn't really work for me.

Sneak peak looks like Richard is going to try and force the Barker into doing the original idea. For Richard to become a better character, I think this season needs to have Richard crush Jack Barker by the end of it.

There certainly wasn't anything in this episode as memorable as two horses loving, but I laughed more than I should have at the constant riffing on Dinesh's chain. The plot was very Office Space-esque, which I kinda liked. Also, the fast-motion montage where Erlich was smoking weed, sleeping, and snapping at Jin Yang was a nice touch.

I just realized that the server space guy at the beginning of the episode is the same actor behind this series. He and Mike Judge appeared in a separate web series together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4PIbu6Ozro

Huh, looking up the Meinertzhagen's Haversack. The historical ploy was letting a haversack with false plans fall into enemy hands. I wonder if the dropped papers was a trick or if they genuinely hosed up.

We'll have to wait and see if they sacrificed a great plot idea for it, but in the short term that ending was an incredible gag.

both of Jared's chain jokes killed it with the group I was watching with. The last one before Richard trips had several people on the floor dying with laughter. I'm loving this new, more confident Jared. This guy fucks!

NESguerilla posted:I'm thinking that it was some sort of fakeout (not necessarily on their part but the show itself) That was my guess as well. I was actually expecting the fakeout to be that they roll into the office with their masterful scheme in hand and Jack immediately tells them that he's independently had a change of heart- maybe because he got wind of the competing platform. It was kind of odd that the clueless sales guy took one glance at a page that said "skunkworks" and immediately comprehended the power struggle between Jack and Richard and the conspiracy afoot.

I've got to admit, this was the most I've liked Tobo/Barker thus far. He dropped the veil in this episode and actually became a legitimate villain, not someone ~wacky~ like Gavin Belson.

I think what this sets up is that the whole company is pointless without its engineers. Richard, Gilfoyle, and Dinesh are the only three people not employed by Endframe who have any sort of comprehension of how the technology works. If Jack fires them, or pushes them to quit, he basically has a sales staff and an IP that nobody actually understands how to use.

Yeah I thought the message was pretty clear in that regard, Engineering drives innovation, engineering is the product, Judge is taking a swipe at corporate culture and at the misguided belief that good marketing and sales is all that a company needs to be successful; the contrast between those who actually care and have something to contribute to the rest of humanity vs. those who don't care about anything other than making money and increasing the value of the shares was made very stark in the past two episodes. The first season dealt with the difficulties involved in making a name for yourself in an already saturated market and with how even an exceptional genius like Richard could struggle in today's world, the second season mostly dealt with sabotage from outside sources and it seems like the current one deals with how the drive for growth and profit could stifle innovation and how sales oriented CEOs could miss the point entirely and turn a revolutionary product into a glorified door stopper. emanresu tnuocca fucked around with this message at 11:32 on May 9, 2016 |

Then again, Judge setting up fans to anticipate an Office Space type scheme and then just ripping the rug out from under us seems just as likely.

So he studies for a couple of weeks, sees his opportunity, and goes for it. The levels of clever and mean are all over the place, and naturally he crosses a line, the existence of which he remains blissfully unaware.

It reminds me a lot of the new kids who joined the navy that were obviously sheltered up to that point in life. Suddenly they're around some of the most foul-mouthed people in the world. They were always the ones to cross the line, and it was always hilarious.
