The office was too real this office with it’s crazy rooms, open floor plan, foosball table, etc. And mannnnnnn, I felt personally attacked by this episode. The Pied Piper team has moved from Elrich’s living room to a brand new office. This episode took it to a whole other level. “ Yeah this is just like the party from that episode.” When I went to my company’s Holiday party with my boyfriend this year, the first thing he said was, “ Do you remember that episode of Silicon Valley? In season one?”
Sometimes this show is REALLY “way too real”. Of course though, they offer it to Big Head as a lump sum of 20 MILLION dollars if he signs an NDA. After the public fall out last season, Belson decides to fire the entire Nucleus team (the team that failed at replicating the algorithm last season) because of the loophole in the contract discovered last season which allows him to fire everyone without severance. There is a perfect pause where the viewer thinks he’s going to reveal the secret, but simply declares, “We need to quit with Richard.”Įventually Richard is won over by Jack and agrees to be the CTO of Pied Piper instead, but over at Hooli trouble is stirring up. They seem like they’re about to give up when Gilfoyle looks up as if he has an epiphany.
I also choked when they were talking about how “we know 90% of the code but it’s the same 90%” when trying to figure out the last part of Richard’s compression algorithm. Tell me you haven’t sat on some shitty patio furniture late and night and had a conversation about how your friend was great but… (Which they translate into “RIGBY” for “Richard is great but… you know….). When Richard automatically assumes that they are going to leave the company with him, they both go on the best tangent of any show. Honestly, they are the funniest characters in the show and the two of them remind me of some of my best friends who work out here in the engineering world. While Elrich went in wanting to hate him, Jack instantly charms him, expressing his love for Aviato (of course I had to put it in italics and of course you read it in his voice) which instantly wins Elrich over.ĭinesh and Gilfoyle though steal the episode. As Elrich throws a barrage of old man jokes, Jack simply stares until he stops.
Jack Barker is a lot tougher to crack than he thought. While he’s livid that he’s no longer the CEO of his own company, the others are trying to figure out what their options are for their own futures.Įlrich initially decides to side with Richard, and when he’s told that they’ve hired a new CEO he goes in ready to barge in and put the guy in his place. The first episode picks up right where we left off last season, with Richard just having been fired by the new board of Pied Piper. Silicon Valley is one of those shows that seems to baffle the people who aren’t immersed in this the remarks I consistently hear from people who work in other locations and more importantly other industries shows just how exclusive this place really is.īut man the people who live here, who experience this everyday and live in this area, oh how they laugh. I’ll start by being very upfront: I live in the Silicon Valley and I work for one of the many, many tech companies out here. in the show.Synopsis of 3×01/2: Silicon Valley returns to make everyone who actually lives and works in Silicon Valley uncomfortable with their life choices.
