When Jack Barker and Gavin Belson meet up at the airport, beyond the joke of them taking separate private jets to go to the same places on the same days, do you think the implication is that Hooli has hired Jack Barker to take over as CEO, like he did at Pied Piper, or is that a leap?

That's what I assumed
Also it wasn't until this episode that I realized it was Ned ryerson from Groundhog Day

this was totally my first thought, but I was a lil uncertain after it wasn't addressed directly

Gavin has a few lines in American Psycho the film. He's one of Bateman's colleagues at work.

I wasn't a huge fan of the show Big Love, but his performance in it was fantastic.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 14 June 2016 18:38 (eight years ago) link
Yeah I was just thinking last night Gavin might be the most underrated character on this show.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 14 June 2016 19:27 (eight years ago) link
I loved "I invited you to my wedding..." "WHY!?" in the last episode
He's one of Bateman's colleagues at work.
oh shit that's right! the closeted gay one!

Feel like the look of the founders and the story of this startup must have been a specific inspiration for this show:

Is this the only show that can get away with a line of dialogue like gilfoil saying "let's go brownie"

the clickfarm footage at the end is soul-crushing brilliance
I am not sure made me laugh more, Gavin motioning to signal the opossum should not be brought in, or the promo booth giving away subway coupons
― μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 20 June 2016 04:17 (eight years ago) link
yeah, the clickfarm was an amazing shot
is the only solution to this current problem that they need to hire bernice?
― a simba man (Will M.), Monday, 20 June 2016 15:30 (eight years ago) link
that was my immediate reaction
really they need to hire an application designer and someone who can spin the technical accomplishments of their platform into products people want to use
pipey explaining "you're only six clicks away!" absolutely killed me

I don't get it. Not one person in the show's universe says "change the interface"? Wife and I were frustrated by this.
― Evan, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 23:56 (eight years ago) link
^ this. I kept waiting for the designer to show back up again. If that's the deus ex machina ending it's gonna suck.
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Thursday, 23 June 2016 00:20 (eight years ago) link
like the "six steps to upload a file" are solely an interface issue; slap a new gui on there for fucks sakebut they really really wanted to do a clippy joke
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Thursday, 23 June 2016 00:21 (eight years ago) link
i thought that dinesh and gilfoyle basically suggested they withdraw the release and re-do the interface? and that richard was much too tied to the interface (which HE thought was amazing) to follow that suggestion?
― wizzz! (amateurist), Thursday, 23 June 2016 08:06 (eight years ago) link
I thought they couldn't afford it.
― trishyb, Thursday, 23 June 2016 08:14 (eight years ago) link
a half a million seems like enough for a new gui
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Thursday, 23 June 2016 12:04 (eight years ago) link
the production team did a good job making it seem like the kind of developer tool with lots of controls I have used so many times in my work and most non-technical people would be freaked out by. I wouldn't be surprised if the solution next episode is just to make it as stupid simple as possible (like, one upload button) and the six steps of customization and unnecessary technical info that Richard loves gets thrown out the window
― Vinnie, Thursday, 23 June 2016 13:16 (eight years ago) link
it reminds me a lot of Super C which is also great video compression w a nightmare interface
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 23 June 2016 13:44 (eight years ago) link
could have polished up dinesh's video chat as a first release
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 23 June 2016 15:22 (eight years ago) link
Re-watched the first three episodes with a friend who hadn't seen it at all yet. I miss non-completely pathetic Dinesh and non-completely oblivious/dumb Bighead. Every comedy show seems to gradually turn characters into cartoon versions of their most defining quirks (Bighead) or narrows in on an emphasized theme of the character (Dinesh, Jared) to some degree. Not as true for some other characters as much and they're not doing it to the same degree as The Office or Parks & Rec (yet) and I love the show but it the change was striking after revisiting those early episodes.
