It needs to stop being so 'everything is going good but suddenly something goes wrong' or vice versa every single episode. Other than that it's a great show. "This guy f*cks" always cracks me up.

I know what you mean, but that really is what life at a startup is like initially.

"I feel like I'm in minority report"

"Whereas actually you're just a minority"

That episode was very business/sales vs engineering/innovation. As someone from the engineering side, it's a lot of fun to watch.

Jin Yang going for the pizza :lol:

I refuse to believe they dedicated a whole episode to doing a skunkworks only to have Richard fall and give the plan up immediately. Must be more to it.

Brilliant episode up until that last moment.

Seriously, it was classic season 1 stuff up until that last scene. The jokes were so great I had to pause the video twice from laughing too hard.

And then they had to feck it up with a classic season 2 device: make the most mind-blowingly stupid mistake that no one in real life ever would do, which will set the guys up for another 2-3 episode arc where they try to fix the problem.

Yea agree with that, the ending was a bit lame and the cycle of things going good then horribly wrong carries on.

Brilliant episode all in all though, it's ridiculously funny.

"that chain is insane... and not in the membrane."

Completely agree on the ending. I thought the skunkworks thing could be a great arc and then they blow it up straight away. Annoying.

Looks like Richard is wearing knee pads in that last scene. Maybe he planned to trip over.

"Hold on... Ocean's Eleven?"
"It's a 2001 casino heist film starring Julia Roberts and eleven men"


I love Jared's love for Julia Roberts movies:lol:

Yes. Well spotted, clearly looks at the hose too and distracts the guys....

Rewatching season 2 and just noticed when Russ appears for the first time in his McLaren he's listening to Limp Bizkit :lol:

Finished the second season, I like it a lot. The formula is a bit repetitive but you get to like the characters and a lot of the writing is good. Erlich is great, his 'and what about me?' at the end of season 2 had me laughing out loud :lol:

Not great with female characters though, Monica is useless and it's not quite clear what she does, and the female coder they'd introduced was great but had very little time and then disappeared (maybe she's back in season 3, would be great).

Very easy to watch in any case.

EDIT: oh and Russ! Really he should be a shit character but he works.

'This guy fecks' :lol:

Yeah, it's clearly part of the plan. The oceans eleven reference gave it away really, they're purposely looking as if they're screwing it up, its been purposely done for a reason. Maybe its part of the plan Richard is keeping from the rest, distracting the boss while Erlich does something?

Tooting Colombia to Tooting Bec and back again
Just finished the first two seasons and don´t want to be a sourpuss, but this series is so full of cliche impossible coincidental happenings, last minute saves, predictable recipes of things going wrong, and so much unbelievable shit, and that Erlich character has gotten so tiring . . . that we´re laughing at times over how bad it is.

There is some redeeming stuff and cleverness and a few LOL moments and I was interested and entertained enough to make it through the first two seasons. I do enjoy Guilfoyle as well. And I find that Monica unbelievably hot.

I dreaded the two season finales for how corny hollywoodish I knew they would be.

Fecking hell, episode 3 with the guys ripping on Dinesh's gold chain (Jared's "Django" had me pissing myself), and then the final one by Jared again "Do you choke your mother with it when you put your penis in her butthole?" made me laugh louder than any show in a long while.

I see there's a new episode available today, nice :drool:

Hmm so much for the knee pads in the last episode being important then.

Meh, not the best episode.

I was liking the stuff with Jack so for him to be gone so quickly and it back to them vs Hooli all over again is underwhelming.
